I’ve got a bunch of questions
(1) Will Trump’s second term be like a special edition of “The Apprentice,” with him saying over and over to government bureaucrats: “You’re fired!”?
(2) Is Musk trolling the left with the notion that he might buy MSNBC, or is he serious?
(3) Judge Merchan has postponed Trump’s sentencing till after December 9, when papers from both sides on the issue will have been submitted. My question is whether Merchan will sentence Trump, postpone the decision indefinitely, or dismiss the case?
(4) Will Trump pardon the J6ers? If so, will it for some or for all?
(5) What’s Kamala Harris’ next gig?
4) Amended: will the DoJ prosecute Michael Byrd for the manslaughter of Ashli Babbitt (or a like offense)?
#1 Mentioned elsewhere the most common words I want to hear are ” Your fired”
#2 Mentioned Musk should buy MSNBC and turn it into a real news .
#3 Elections have consequences, it always was a Kangaroo Court
# 4 and many places I have stated the 1st hour of day 1 every Jan6 Rallier should be free.
#5 She will get millions in books she won’t write and no one will buy. Some university will put her on a President but not much more than that. She is as washed up as Hillary
I’ve read that by delaying the sentencing, Merchan prevents Trump from filing an appeal, since without a sentence the trial is technically not over. Dersh says in any case it’s wrong to have that hanging over a President’s head for four years. In other words, this statement by the prosecutors is complete hogwash:
Trump’s lawyers say they will argue for a dismissal, but I’m wondering if they should also argue that absent a dismissal, sentencing should take place now to allow an appeal.
1. Your Fired! Lots of times. If you can’t fire them, a small room, pencil, paper, dictionary. No phone.
2. Buy it, fire a lot of them, make a conservative voice, like FOX used to be.
3. Can’t answer what he will do, but it should be dismissed because of all the errors at the trial.
4. Yes, and prosecute the Capital police for murder.
5. Run for Govenor of CA. Win, and compete the destruction of CA.
Or, move to Canada and be the new PM. And Canada will be more fully destroyed.
What are the Biden-Harris losers and soon-to-be-fired military top brass capable of?

No Experience Necessary: Kamala HQ TikTok Team Was Nothing But Gen ZersFrom the Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg)tweet:
I don’t know if these Gen-Z Kamala HQ staffers helped her campaign or not.
My reaction to watching the video associated with the above quote is that I wonder if I speak the same language as the male and female staffer. I can barely understand the female, who speaks very rapidly in a soft monotone. The male staffer also speaks very rapidly, but at least he is loud.
This isn’t the first time I have noticed speakers speaking too rapidly for me. It is as if they are trying to cram as many words as possible into their limited air time.
Am I the only one who has trouble understanding these GenZ mile-a-minutes?
Gringo: I expect that their mind is racing, nearly out of control, and with their rapid speech they are trying to get it all out before they forget.
yes but their tires are flat, and the engine is clogged,
Ha ha. Good one, miguel.
i mean could you find a more absurd cast of characters like harry sisson for example, he doesn’t know anything, and he’s proud of it,

Re: Jaguar ad / rebrand
___________________________________
Jag’s big rebrand had been in development for three years as the company prepares to become an all-electric car manufacturer ahead of the UK’s 2030 target to stop selling new purely fossil fuel-powered cars.
Launched on Tuesday under the slogan ‘copy nothing’ – an adage from company founder Sir William Lyons – the ad features diverse models in technicolour outfits walking through an alien landscape.
Around 800 people are reported to have worked on the rebrand, which will peak with the unveiling of a ‘design vision concept’ at Miami Art Week on December 2.

The more openly and fully Trump outlines the reform and reconstitution program he intends to implement, the more I worry that some individual or, more likely, some deep state assets, will again try to take Trump out—he is just too great a threat.

NB, the ratio of men to women among sports car buyers exceeds that for cars in general by a factor of 2.6 to 1. You think unattractive androgynes in ugly outfits are a way to sell cars to men who like high performance cars?
The self-driving taxis here in Phoenix are Jaguar.
Probably Gavin Newsome has a position in mind for Kamala.
Harris right now is in Hawaii, taking a well-earned break from her strenuous work as Vice-President of the United States.
I think whatever it is she does next, will probably be minimum effort, where she gets paid for being listed on the board and for her contact list.
Who know, maybe Burisma will be looking for a Big Girl to get 10%.
Whatever it is she decides to do, it’s pretty clear that she’s gonna “put her head down and get to work”!!!
(Hubby knows best….)
who’s running the country, while we play rocket bingo, does it matter anymore, yes I know they gave a warning they would fire the missile about 30 minutes before, the Hazelnut doesn’t sound that threatening, instead of it’s Cyrillic Oreshnik, well interesting times,

It’s all going to be tremendously exciting! And even though my husband is a Federal employee, we look forward to seeing government waste pruned.
And since we are heading towards retirement, we hope to see inflation tamed and tax burdens lifted under Trump. Also really really really hoping that the deep state skullduggery will finally be exposed.
OMG it’s like Christmas! For the first time since 2019 I feel like hope and normalcy have a chance.
AesopFan, Snow on Pine, et al,
A summary of what many of us fear:
TUCKER: “I am very concerned that the people who have hated Trump for eight years and run out of ways to destroy him … have decided the only way to stop Trump, and the disclosure that a Trump administration will bring … is with a world war … I know a lot of the people involved and they’re very, very, very focused on war.”
How do you stop The Big Disclosure? Depending on your level of fear, a Big War that makes everything moot. Poke the bear, then blame the resulting calamity on the bear.
@ huxley > Re: Elon Musk / MSNBC “I’ll bet he is doing some preliminary investigation.”
I’ve seen it mentioned.

@ Banned Lizard > “Poke the bear, then blame the resulting calamity on the bear.”
Sadly, nothing about the Democrat MO to date makes that statement unbelievable.
And there is a lot of precedent for Republicans getting the blame for events that were set-up during the preceding Democrat administration.
See some of Barry’s links in the Fruitcake thread.
Plus, most of us can remember prior examples.
Part of that is a function of the electoral cycle:
Good Republican presidents make good times.
Good times make people careless (because they are clueless about cause and effect).
Careless people elect Democrats.
Democrats destroy the good things, and that leads to bad times.
Bad times persuade people to elect Republicans.
Republicans fix the bad things, and that leads to good times.
A corollary to the above is the Blame Rules:
Democrats get the credit for the good things they inherit from the Republicans.
Republicans get the blame for the bad things they inherit from the Democrats.
The party affiliations in the Rules are NEVER reversed even if the situations are.
I expect that Elon realizes that any future commercial success he enjoys will be attributed to his collaboration with the Trump government, rather than his genius, but cares not a whit.
Of course, the airheads already assume that grift is the source of the success of Tesla and SpaceX, being unfamiliar with the experience of hard work and mastery of any skill themselves.
Trump’s first administration was like “The Apprentice.” He may be shrinking government (or not), but I hope he’s learned enough not to make his second administration a game of musical chairs.
It would be foolish for Musk to buy MSNBC. There’s no real future in it. Musk may have hundreds of billions, but if he throws them away on buying the network people will wonder if he’s keeping up with his other businesses. Better to put the money into making something people want — or something that will help him get to Mars.
Harris may well run for governor of California someday, not for president.
The Primal Fire, the Universe, and UFOs
Sitting around our gas-fired fire pit tonight, with a glass of wine in hand —and watching the dancing flames—something that our ancestors viewed during the human race’s deep history–perhaps 200,000 years or more–and looking up at the stars—you just can’t help wondering what is “out there.”
At our present state of knowledge, we believe that our Universe is more than 13 billion years old, and that it contains trillions of galaxies, each one of which contains hundreds of thousands of stars –many of them with planetary systems and, of them, many with planets in the “Goldilocks zone,” making them potential candidates for the development of some form of life.
We also believe that the Earth is a recent newcomer–with life developing here in just the last 4 billion years or so.
Thus, there may well be solar systems in which life developed far earlier in the Universe’s lifetime than ours has.
Given all this, why would many consider the possibility of other intelligent species—much less intelligent species far in advance of our own–arising in the Universe to be so unlikely, or that if there were such species, that it would not be possible for them to make the journey to our solar system to see us.
The “impossibility” of such interstellar travel rests, of course, on what we currently understand to be the laws of Physics/how the Universe works.
But, what if such far more advanced Aliens might have a far better grasp of what the actual and complete “laws of the Universe” are, sufficient to enable them to easily travel between one star system and the next, and span our Galaxy?

Snow on Pine:
Who are you talking to?
I imagine there are some who claim alien intelligence or interstellar travel are impossible. But not many and certainly not me.
The question at hand is Fermi’s “Where is everybody?”
huxley—Who says that we would be able to perceive, or to immediately recognize an intelligent alien life form if we encountered it?
Who says that we would be able to perceive, or to immediately recognize an intelligent alien life form if we encountered it?
Snow on Pine:
Indeed. Who says that?
Cites, please.
Who says there isn’t an invisible six-foot tall rabbit standing next to me right now, offering me pleasant conversation and advice?
Actually there is. His name is Harvey. My best friend. I’d introduce you, but almost no one else can see or hear him.
No, actually that was a Jimmy Stewart movie and a great one. You can watch a clip here:
–“Harvey (1950) – (Movie Clip) He’d Be Delighted”

Wow. That’s way more enhanced than my DVD copy.
@ huxley > “Who says there isn’t an invisible six-foot tall rabbit standing next to me right now, offering me pleasant conversation and advice?”
If only all of us had such a companion, maybe there would be less chaos in the world.
Would you take a somewhat smaller friend with wings?
