When I was a small kid, I would get in fights with the neighbor kid across the street from me. The parents were cool about it, but were unhappy with the bare knuckle part of the fighting. So, we were issued boxing gloves and went at it with all the grace of two gangly 3rd graders.
Plenty of swings, plenty of hits, but no real damage. Jimbo won all but one of those fights.
After every lose, I would think about what had happened and vowed to get better. Only to be beat in our next confrontation.
It was soul crushing. At the same time, I was dealing with a bully who would chase me home after school, every day.
After each battle, as I lay on the ground, crying, humiliated, he would taunt me.
The last time we fought, I won. I had learned enough to actually beat him. When he was about to go down, I went at him even harder.
He went down, and I took a step back, started to taunt him.
His brothers and sister immediately stepped in to cool things off. It was about sportsmanship. Being the better man. Doing the honorable thing.
As a 3rd grader, it was difficult, but I did manage it.
That was our last fight. He was no longer interested in fighting, preferring to talk about it instead.
—Obama to GOP: “I won”, POLITICO, (last visited Dec. 1, 2024)
When the Democrats lost control of the congress, Obama was famously quoted as saying, “I have a pen and a phone.” Telling the world that he was going to use executive powers to do what congress had not authorized him to do, sort of like a dictator.
From the moment that Trump was declared the victor of the 2024 election, there have been two loud groups of Democrats and leftists.
The first is calling me stupid because of how I voted, cutting their hair to spite Trump voters (huh? I don’t get it), wishing that the economy will crash, and in general exhibiting all the standard symptoms of TDS.
The other group is making speeches, telling me that we have to remember the other half of the country, that we have to work to end the divide between us, to allow the losers a place at the table.
In other words, don’t do to them what they do to us, every time.
Ally was very upset that Merrick Garland wasn’t given a chance to testify before the Senate Judicial committee, to find out if he was a good person for the Supreme Court.
I pointed out that the best that Merrick could be was worse than anybody a Republican would nominate. She is still upset that he didn’t get a full hearing.
There is no reason for the Trump administration to put wolves in with the flock. There is no reason for him to trust the olive branch that is handed to him. There is no reason to try to temper the response that is coming.
Here’s the thing, it is time for a scorched earth response. It is a time to clean out the rat’s nest that is the unelected bureaucracy of the Federal Government.
I’m looking forward to hearing about the RIFs that are going to happen. I’m looking forward to higher ups that are not fired, but offered positions in Nome, Alaska. I’ve been offered that choice, I could find a position elsewhere in the company, in the next six weeks, or I could resign.
It is not fun. It happens to many people.
I’m also looking forward to true investigations of the criminal activities against The People, against Trump, and against my country.
I don’t remember what the statute of limitations is on mishandling classified materials, but if it is long enough, Mrs Clinton should be charged. She was investigated, the acting director of the FBI determined that she wasn’t guilty because her purpose was pure.
Nobody else with a security clearance would get that pass.
Or the serial leaker.
Or the people who refused to show up for congressional subpoenas. I have a strong feeling that the Democrat party is going to have a tough few years.

this is why I stopped goving my hard earned money to republicans.. until republicans grow a pair and do thier friggin job, no mo money.. typical spineless whiners. republicans should stand up and do exactly what democrats did.
You’re much more generous than I am. I don’t trust the uniparty whatsoever. I also don’t believe any real change will come our way, since the uniparty is intent on retaining power. Examples: 1) Bondi as AG over Gaetz? Nope. She is a swamp critter, look into her background. 2) Thune is actively working to block any change PDJT will try to usher in, look at his appointments to committees.
Statute of limitations on mishandling of classified is generally 5 years per 18 USC 3282, which is . 18 USC 1924 governs classified mishandling, but doesn’t list a statute of limitation. These clowns know they just have to run out the clock to avoid criminal charges and change, simultaneously.
I sincerely feel that until the 17th is repealed, we will never have true change, since holding Congress accountable is nearly impossible, due to the rigging of the system by the RNC/DNC via approved candidate/funding. Getting the critters to willingly return the power to the people? That will never happen, it will require the system to break, most likely irreparably. Will that break happen? Again, no. We love to talk about the light switch and how once we cross that line, we can never return, but everyone has a different threshold for switching on, myself included.
Am I black-pilled? Probably. I see it more as being pragmatic.
