“Maybe just meet her, maybe she’s a really nice girl,” Donald said.
“Father, please no,” Barron said, twisting away from the photograph.
“It falls to you, my son, my only son, to heal the tremendous fracaturers in our country. You’re great, maybe she’ll be great, I dunno, maybe, just go on a date, one date,” Donald said.
“This might be the worst idea you have ever had.” the hair said.
“Jesus Christ, Donald, just, Jesus H. Christ,” the hat said. “The boy is destined to fuck supermodels and make D1 babies, you can’t saddle him with that.”
“Down through the ages, in the, like, super-olden times, princes have had to marry princesses of foreign lands, and they weren’t all lookers,” Donald said.
“Father, I want to be a good son…”
“Vat is this non-sense, Donald?” Meliana said, entering the room like a passing cloud.
“His destiny!” Donald said, grimacing as the boy rushed to hug his mother.
“I don’t want to, mother!” Barron said. “She’s so hideous!”
“Ve vill do nothink, Donald,” she said. “Ve has a life bevond ur politicings.”
“He will be President one day! The best President, the classiest President, the greatest President! If we join the bloodlines, Republican and Democrat, the boy will have The Mandate of Heaven!”
“Bloodlines? Can that thing even have kids?” the hair asked.
“It supposedly has a uterus, but that’s probably only used for abortions,” the hat replied.
“But I would have him travel The King’s Road! I can pass him the office, like easy, like no problem, but he has to have the bipartisan supports.”
“This Harris vill not foundations a dynasty. Ve should marry into the Obavas,” Meliana said. “Zey groom zere dauherter’s vor power.”
Barron howled louder and ran from the room.
Meliana is right. Barron can have Big Mike for VP.
I think the Trumps should look to tradition.
Barron should have several wives and many concubines, then found his own merchant town on a river and rule in splendor.
Marry one of Musk’s children (no idea if he has any girls, honestly… I’m not a star watcher) and set up the Barony of Barron on Mars.
“no idea if he has any girls”
Kinda? But that’s a genetic dead end.
Barron howled louder and ran from the room. – ehm…. racist…
“But Father! She looks like a cross between a truck-driver and the lot lizards that feed off them!”
I actually feel sorry for Barron.
Fate worse than death.
Oh how would you know you never been dead
Well, how was it for you?
I have experienced la petite Mort many times.
Give him a hand everyone! He just did it himself!
You may not want to shake that hand, however.

Though Melania has a point.
True.

I was expecting a spider’s eye view of bitter drunken anguish from Kamp Kamala. This is much better.
For those who missed it yesterday (and you won’t see this on TV), voter suppression was reported in several areas of Pennsylvania over the last couple of days. Not the perennial race-baiting about there was road construction in the same district, or someone got pulled over on the nearby interstate for speeding. The real deal.
Several wealthy suburbs had the polls closed at 1pm and police posted to prevent anyone from getting in line. People posted videos on X. The posts attracted community notes saying this was false because the county election website says that polls are open to anyone who is in line before 5:30
There was also a problem with 77,000 ballots in California.
Nevada is going to count ballots that come in 3 days after the election, even if they don’t have a postmark or a signature.
(Insert video of the Sout Park Police Chief in front of a fireworks factory burning down saying “nothing to see here. Move along”)

You think rainbow lanyard is voting Trump?
Let me take the opportunity to manifest the spirit of Ron Bailey: There’s no proof of widespread voter fraud.
And now I feel dirty.
I’m at ground zero for the early ballot shenanigans.
I can’t find it right now, but the day before they were telling everyone to leave a big precinct and go to another location – which turned out to be closed.
So the lady who posted it told everyone to stay in line, that they were required to allow them to vote if they were in line before the polls close
She was arrested.
It is on video.
https://tennesseestar.com/elections/rnc-demands-answers-after-pennsylvania-voter-arrested-at-polling-location/khousler/2024/10/28/
What’s the California shenanigans? (I’ve got to get mine done probably today… be nice to know if I should look into my alternatives)
I’d seen the PA troubles (and I can only interpret them as extremely lazy ass staff who think they’ll need 4 hours to process “the line” at the point of cut off… which is insane, granted), but hadn’t heard about the California ones.
I don’t understand why there’s always these huge election lines. Back in the before times when there were actual voting booths here, never waited more than about 10 minutes to do it. Subdivide your voting precincts and open more locations, dummies. It’s not that hard. Yet it persists every election cycle.
But that means you need to corrupt more watchers and counters – fewer people, less oversight, more controllable results!
I’ve never had to wait more than five minutes, and that includes the times before the Dems implemented their wish-list of cheats. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have – but I also vote at 6 in the morning, so I’m waiting for the polling site to open.
I thought in person voting was this coming Tuesday. WTF?
Early voting is all in-person (but only one location in my county…hence I can’t do it unless I want to drive 3.5 hours each way) – unless you’re using an absentee ballot.
How accurate is the depiction of a Slovenian accent?
Probably way off. I always hear her as a Lady Dracula.
With some Natasha from Rocky & Bullwinkle mixed in.
“Ve should be out making big trawubble for Squirl un MOOse.”
Slovenia is not real just a trick played on Americans
How close is it to Slovakian? I have heard that accent a lot.
I cannot say accent wise. Probably fairly similar. I dont know much about the slavic talk
Similar languages. I speak Slovak and can muddle my way around in Slovenia when getting a hotel, ordering food, asking for directions. I think the rhythm of Slovene is different. Slovak puts the emphasis on the first syllable of the word. Slovene puts it on the second to last, probably influenced by Italian. But when they are speaking English, I don’t know that I would know the difference, except that Slovene doesn’t have an H sound as far as I know.
I’m guessing Donald doesn’t know that xey exepects xer boyfriends to take it up the butt?
Or maybe, Donald and Melania enjoy the same kink that xhey do and Donald wants the boy to know the joy?
Thanks a lot for putting that image in my head.
@LCDR_Fish, she is in Bremerton, right near the base.
Yeah…not sure about that area, but near Navy bases, like off-base Ft Bragg always have the shadier neighborhoods. Hopefully they don’t have any issues and she stays safe.
Bremerton seems like a nice little town, little shops, marinas, and golf courses.
She met with a cop, grabbed some things from her apartment, and is going to stay with another Navy wife in a different location for a few days. There are a lot of Navy families there, and with the ship underway there will be a lot of unescorted women, so hopefully they catch the guy.
Ft Bragg?
What are you, some kind of racist, dead naming the newly transitioned Ft Liberty?
And those neighborhoods aren’t “shadier”, they are “diversely lit”.
+1 Fayettenam
I know they say most criminals are stupid — but attempting to prey on Navy wives near a major base seems like a really good way to get a Marine “training exercise” in the neighborhood with the local cops looking decidedly the other way.
There are marines guarding the nukes at Bremerton, but not that many normal units stationed up there.
Ve should marry into the Obavas
Didn’t somebody link to a paparazzi shot of one of the Obama daughters looking like a bloated homeless person a while back?
You could hide a lot of needle tracks in those tattoos.

“It supposedly has a uterus, but that’s probably only used for abortions,” the hat replied.
Choke-snort.
I believe it would need to start dating non-gay men before it starts having abortions.
Prostate massage can induce ejaculation pretty consistently.
Sounds like a lot of work to get pregnant to get a an abortion?
Maybe that’s what the tattoos are for, like fuselage marks on a bomber.
Abortion is the feminist worship of Baal, even down to the incineration of “medical waste” to make it a burnt offering.
For you, perhaps. I have an Exit Only sign.
Exit Only sign?
Tattooed on your lower back?
Early voting is not a thing here seems rather strange
It is strange and needs to be abolished.
Along with mail-in-voting and ballot counting machines.
If you had “early voting” the U.S. would condemn your elections as rigged.
The US system is a how to for voter fraud.

Practicing public health without a license
Donald Trump has spent a considerable amount of time in recent weeks boasting about plans to give Robert F. Kennedy Jr. an influential position in a possible second term. The former president hasn’t offered specific details, but he’s suggested that Kennedy — a lawyer with no professional background in medicine, science or public health — would work on health care policy in some capacity.
——-
As my MSNBC colleague Zeeshan Aleem recently explained, RFK Jr. “is best known for fringe conspiracy theories tied to vaccines and other medical interventions, such as the belief that antidepressants cause school shootings.”
What a horrifying prospect. Just keep him away from the EPA.
Kennedy has said his main focus will be on getting rid of corruption, so if he even does some of that, we’ll be better off.
Of course, doctors are trained to treat individual patients. “Public health” has nothing to do with treating individual patients.

Muh hallowed traditions
One week from Election Day, the Kalshi market favors Trump by over 30 percentage points — while most political polls show Harris and Trump statistically tied. This misalignment has raised questions about the accuracy of these markets.
Merkley, the Oregon senator, has opposed Kalshi from the start and proposed a bill in Congress to ban all election betting.
“Allowing election betting is a huge mistake,” Merkley told NPR. “It turns elections from a place where you exercise your principles to where you exercise your pocketbook. It corrupts our American elections.”
The polls are dead on. The $2 window is skewed.
I personally don’t see how a Presidential betting window has anything to do with “hedging” or anything more substantive than taking a flyer on Seabiscuit, but people need convoluted justifications for everything they do.
Those betting markets were created to harness “the wisdom of the crowd”. Researchers learned that results were better if people had skin in the game.
“Americans bet $100 million on Trump v. Harris, but at what cost?”
$100 million? Just guessing.
Hahahahaha!
“It turns elections from a place where you exercise your principles to where you exercise your pocketbook. It corrupts our American elections.”
This is the war room! You can’t fight in here!
Well a Senator would know something about corruption.
“It turns elections from a place where you exercise your principles to where you exercise your pocketbook. Now, I’m introducing a bill to forgive student debt and give every first-time home buyer $25K. Vote for me!”
Pie, it’s called cheating. The Dems have worked their fingers to the bone for decades to make elections meaningless.
Now we have agents of the state preventing people from voting, on video, coercing people on video, and arresting people for trying to vote, on video. In a swing state.
If they manage to get Kamala into the office no one is going to believe it and a lot of not-democrats are not going to accept it.
If they really really wanted a civil war what would they do differently?
It’s 2024, our country has been around for nearly 250 years, and somehow we can’t figure out how to run a smooth election? In fact, elections have gotten sharply worse in the last decade. Every other country in the world can enact simple safeguards, but for some reason we can’t?
The only reason for this is that it’s ON PURPOSE.
A Nazi would say!!

The J-date thing makes me want to share a story about my Uber progressive.
She is a college friend of the wife. I’ve told you about her before. Super-loud, super opinionated, super progressive…. loudly proud of her role as a liberal scold…
And very racist (something she is blithely unaware of).
I have only been confronted with racism from a white person once in the last 45 years- significant because I spent 15 of those years in an interracial marriage in the deep south.
But this woman. Ooh, she tests my Christian ability to turn the other cheek.
The other day she rode with us to a birthday party, so I was trapped with her for an hour each way. About halfway in she starts opining about the black kids at her daughter’s school. Her daughter has started using urban lingo.
Our champion of DEI is not having it. She went on for a solid 40 minutes about how terrible black kids are and how she doesn’t want them around her daughter (1st grade)
I am a pacifist. But it you hear about someone like that accidentally falling out of an SUV on I-95……
I can’t even imagine. Mrs. TOK has a cousin who’s like that, she’s a teacher, and she constantly posts lib crap on Facebook. Today it was something about how bad people are for supporting Trump because all he does is lie. I don’t think I could survive 5 minutes in a car with her. Hopefully we skip that family Christmas party this year.
Tell em you gots the ‘vid.

She is a walking caricature.

Would that have frozen up her operating system?
A thousand percent.
I only engaged once…. she claimed 5,000 black men were lynched every year.
When I said that there haven’t been 5,000 people lynched in the last hundred years, she doubled down and said 50,000 black men were lynched every year before the Civil rights movement.
She has a PhD in this stuff.
I randomly happened to know that the year with the most lynching in the 20th century was 1900, with 101. And they were not exclusively racial. Lynching used to be a normal way that folks handled business.

Leaning in to the abyss
t’s a telling admission from Musk that crashing the economy is all a part of the plan. Experts have repeatedly warned that Trump’s mass deportations on their own would cause damage to critical industries in the U.S., including agriculture, construction, and hospitality.
Undocumented immigrants most commonly take jobs with longer hours, lower wages, and dangerous working conditions that native-born citizens don’t want, such as housekeeping cleaners, cooks, construction workers, and farm workers. These jobs also won’t have American workers lining up to fill them.
Trump’s plan to appoint Musk to his administration, possibly to lead a government efficiency task force, could also have negative effects. JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, previously said Musk told him that he plans to look at cuts to government programs like Social Security and the Department of Defense.
Judging by what happened after Musk gutted Twitter and laid off many of its workers after he purchased the social media company, there are justifiable fears that he would cripple essential government programs. Social Security, for example, is a lifeline to many older Americans, and in fact needs more funding, not less.
Where do they think they are, Argentina?
Judging by what happened after Musk gutted Twitter and laid off many of its workers after he purchased the social media company…
You mean “nothing”? It continued to function normally, minus a bunch of deadwood.
Exactly, all he did was trim the unnecessary fat. Let’s get real though, he’d get so much legal pushback that the results won’t be earth changing anyway although we might get some nice mostly symbolic victories.
Social Security, for example, is a lifeline to many older Americans, and in fact needs more funding, not less. – endless even…

Tom Wolf appointed the judge to fill a vacancy. The judge then ran for the office when the term ended. I found he cross-filed as both a Republican and Democrat, which you can do in PA judicial elections.

In these last days before voting concludes, Generals John Kelly, Jim Mattis, and others have warned that Trump is an aspiring fascist—a necessary alarm. But what has also come into sharper focus in the last few weeks is that a second Trump term would inaugurate an American oligarchy.
The sorry spectacle of leading industrialists, newspaper owners, tech executives, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, and others seeking to ensure their good standing with Trump reflects a blend of cowardice and cupidity. Mark Zuckerberg, whom Trump labeled a “true enemy of the people” as recently as March, and called “Zuckerschmuck,” demonstrated that there are no hard feelings where money and power are concerned. He let it be known that he was moved by Trump’s survival of an assassination attempt:
Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life. On some level as an American, it’s like hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, and I think that that’s why a lot of people like the guy.
The problem is not so much that Trump is creating an oligarchy; he’s usurping the one which currently exists.
All this boohooing about fascism studiously avoids any economic references because people might get wise that the country is currently well along the road to being a fascist state.
See I say start with deporting all criminals, then move from there
Who will run the government?
Boeing can’t compete with him. Nor can NASA, which was recently obliged to go hat in hand to Musk to launch a rescue operation for two stranded astronauts on the International Space Station. Economics blogger Noah Smith notes that “Without this one Musk company, America would be lagging far behind China in the space race. But with SpaceX included, the U.S. is far ahead of China.” Space X won a $1.8 billion classified contract with the Pentagon in 2021. Without Space X, the United States would be unable to launch most of NASA’s and the Pentagon’s rockets.
NASA’s gross incompetence and abject failure to perform are Musk’s fault.
Left out…. SpaceX is saving the US Taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars over traditional contractors.
We used to pay ULA a billion dollars a year to maintain “launch readiness” in case they needed to launch a military satellite on short notice.
SpaceX doesn’t ask for a billion dollars and their normal cadence can accommodate those national security payloads with less notice.
Thank you, SpaceX
And Musk owns X (Twitter), whose global influence persists despite Musk’s decision to open it to fascists, antisemites, and assorted disinformation peddlers.
And yet, somehow, your ravings are allowed to continue.
The lack of self awareness on that one is spectacular.
