Republicans spent election night discovering that “pretend I’m on the ballot” was not, in fact, a governing strategy. Trump, displaying his usual breathtaking commitment to personal accountability, offered this masterpiece of political self awareness: “I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!” Apparently, the man who spent months demanding that voters treat every election as a referendum on him suddenly developed amnesia when the referendum came back with a resounding rejection. How convenient. It is the political equivalent of totaling your car, blaming the passengers, and then insisting the accident never would have happened if you had been driving. This is the same man who graciously acknowledged that Democrats “did a good job” and declared himself “absolutely willing to accept” the results, while simultaneously floating the veto hat. Nothing says accepting defeat quite like announcing that you intend to obstruct the people who just defeated you. Truly, a masterclass in losing without the inconvenience of admitting it. Then came Mike Johnson, whose contribution to the evening was apparently to explain that history was always going to win, despite polling that had been practically screaming about a Republican wipeout. “We faced some real odds,” he lamented, which is a fascinating way of describing the consequences of spending two years ignoring every warning sign while confidently marching toward the electoral equivalent of a wood chipper. And now, naturally, the Republican Party is talking about a “wake up call.” How precious. A wake up call generally suggests that someone intends to get out of bed, examine what went wrong, and make meaningful changes. Republicans, meanwhile, have spent the last two years treating Democratic voters, Democratic candidates, and enormous portions of the American public as existential threats to civilization. They have spent years screaming about communists, invaders, enemies of America, and the supposed destruction of the republic. But suddenly, after getting their political teeth kicked in at the ballot box, they expect Democrats to pull up a chair, pour some coffee, and have a pleasant bipartisan conversation about “core principles.” Absolutely not. You do not spend years vilifying an entire political party, questioning its legitimacy, attacking its voters, and treating compromise like an act of treason, only to lose an election and immediately demand cooperation from the people you spent years demonizing. That is not reconciliation. That is political entitlement with a fresh coat of desperation. And that brings us to what these election results actually mean. The voters who flipped Texas, Kansas, Ohio, South Carolina, Iowa, and a string of House seats did not send new Democratic majorities to Washington so they could participate in some adorable bipartisan friendship retreat with the very people voters just rejected. They did not vote for Democrats so Republican leadership could continue dictating the agenda while Democrats politely searched for common ground beneath the rubble. They voted to STOP the Republican agenda. They voted to reverse what can be reversed. They voted to ensure that the next two years do not become another installment of the same political disaster with a slightly different cast. Democrats were not elected to serve as unpaid therapists for a Republican Party experiencing the consequences of its own behavior. They were not sent to Washington to provide adult supervision for a movement that spent years treating bipartisanship as a one way street, only to suddenly discover the beauty of cooperation when it found itself on the losing end of an election. And spare us the inevitable lectures about statesmanship, unity, and reaching across the aisle. Republicans had their opportunity to demonstrate those principles. Instead, they spent years setting fire to the concept of political cooperation and are now apparently shocked that Democrats might not be interested in helping them roast marshmallows over the ashes. Working with a party that voters just repudiated on its own preferred political terrain is not statesmanship. It is surrender dressed up in a respectable suit. It is handing the losing side the authority to negotiate the terms of its own defeat. It is taking a democratic mandate and feeding it directly into the Republican obstruction machine. Democrats should not be working with Republicans to salvage their agenda, rehabilitate their reputation, or soften the consequences of an election they lost. Republicans can spend the next two years contemplating the political consequences of their actions without expecting Democrats to rescue them from those consequences. The newly elected Democratic majorities were not dispatched to Washington to negotiate away the very policies and principles voters elected them to defend. They were elected to USE THEIR MAJORITY. Stop the agenda. Reverse the damage wherever possible. Exercise the authority voters handed them. And let Republicans experience the extraordinary constitutional concept of losing an election and no longer getting to dictate what happens next. That is the mandate. Anything less is rewarding a political movement that has repeatedly and loudly declared Democrats illegitimate, treated compromise as weakness, and only discovered the virtues of bipartisanship once its own political power was threatened. Republicans spent two years making it abundantly clear that cooperation was beneath them. Democrats should respect that position. No bipartisan rescue mission. No political rehabilitation program. No surrender disguised as compromise. Republicans wanted to govern without Democrats. Now they can discover what it feels like when Democrats govern without them.

These posts are just becoming too much at this point. You all believed a con man. And you most likely still do. You actually think bitching online like this is gonna make him change his mind. Unless you are an investor with a ton of money, he doesn’t give a shit about what you have to say.

😭😭😭😭😭😭

We need regulations on AI immediately. This could cause defamation suits against Microsoft. If you’re trying to use AI to manipulate what people are saying in real time, I can see how this could end really bad for Microsoft.

Tesla’s attorneys are trying real hard to keep Elon Musk words out of this arbitration. They are desperate for it.

Israeli‘s are hot fucking trash.

This @DataRepublican is a really stupid person.

Be sure to block this pussy that actually pays Laura Loomer to fucking post for him.

Dying Light is basically just a live reenactment of the Trump admin: a quarantine zone full of running infected, a shady relief outfit that only makes things worse, and warlords carving up the ruins while everyone pretends the lights are still on. x.com/i/broadcasts/2pekZbYpV…

I say we take it from him and deport his sorry ass back to Africa.

Elon Musk is threatening the American people. At some point, we just have to take these public assets away from his control. SpaceX is not his, it exists at the pleasure of the American people.

It’s time to remove qualified immunity.

How’d that get there?🚔🤔😂| #ONLYinDADE

Hope he sues them.

Forgive us our student loan debt as you have forgiven corporations and billionaires their taxes. Milennials 24:7

Democrats, you need to like people’s post on this platform a little bit more. It doesn’t take much to hit a fucking button.

Tallahassee promised tax relief. City halls must decide what stops getting funded. State-projected annual losses in FY2028–29 equal 30% of Palm Bay’s FY2024 general fund, 25.7% of Davenport’s and 25% of Deltona’s. Police and fire generally consume about half a city’s general fund. Protect them, and the shortfall falls entirely on the other half unless replacement revenue is raised. Against that budget baseline, those losses equal 60%, 51% and 50% of everything else: roads, drainage, parks, libraries and inspections. Growth brings revenue, but also people who need services. Beginning in 2029, the exemption grows with inflation while service costs keep climbing. You cannot spend the same growth dollar twice: replacing lost revenue and serving new residents. Raise fees, and residents pay another way. Cut services, and they feel it another way. The campaign promised savings. The budget will name the consequences.

It’s time we regulate this shit. This is getting out of hand. AMD and NVIDIA and all these other companies. Socialism is looking better every fucking day.

Apparently, some fucking retard cut a fiber line. What’s more interesting about this is @getspectrum apparently has fiber lines but we don’t have fiber Internet.

Ahhh. New York.

Jesus Christ. @GetSpectrum is down again. Won’t be restored until 10:30 tonight. For fuck sakes.
