The ambience of the PBS Newshour on 5 November, about 20:00 pretty much said that Kamala was losing.
So I went to bed and watched the movie Dave on my iPhone.
Great movie.
I woke up next day and, sure enough, donnie the dildo is back.
But this time it's different.
He won the popular vote.
So a majority of Americans who voted want donnie to do what he has said he is going to do and deeply expect to benefit from what he has said he is going to do.
Immediately.
At least that's what I have heard his voters say in all the election postmortems that I have heard.
Just to pick at random - there are so many more - one of the things he has committed to deliver, immediate reduction of inflation (the way he has posed it, that promise is not the rate of inflation, but the prices in the stores; the price of things has never come down in a significant manner after a bout of inflation in history except in a major depression) is describable, observable and measurable.
And:
He has the Senate;
He has the Court'
He has the House;
So he can do whatever he wants.
And that is a better thing than it sounds on the surface, because: he is clearly committed to defined results.
Results that can be documented, measured and remembered.
If anyone still has a memory.
So, we can measure what his regime does and what his regime accomplishes and do that measurement in a donnie-defined time frame (immediately) and decide (at least in a hypothetical sense) whether we want to keep him, or if he fails (immediate disinflation never having been seen on this planet) or, instead of keeping him, kill him and hang him up in the town square and gut him like the pig that he is, just like the Italians did to Mussolini.
That's how strong man countries treat their strong men.
Ultimately.
America has a short acceptance span, so "ultimately" is a short term thing.
I think.
When the strong men turn out to be weak, stupid, full of shit, and don't deliver on their promises they get gutted and hung up in the town square.
And since donnie has signed us up for strong man country membership, we get to treat him like self-proclaimed strong men have always been treated.
I give him a year; we'll see how his immediate promises come out.
Looking forward to the hog roast.
