Five Realities

 1.  All these people and news media organizations quitting Twitter?

Basically, they have tried to exist on Twitter.....defending a position or stating some conclusion....yet the bulk of the public no longer buys off on their explanations.  So, the only possible outcome....is to quit Twitter.

What's this say about society?  A whole lot of people have acted as propagandists.  

2.  At this point....roughly two weeks after the election....I've heard at least one-thousand explanation on how Kamala Harris lost the election.

Look.....the bulk of the public doesn't really care at this point....they've moved on.  If you are CNN or MSNBC.....you might want to move along and find some news to  talk on besides the election.

3.  How I see all of Trump's picks getting their cabinet posts?

I think the House Speaker will screw up matters....not allowing a recess appointment process to start up.  Whole thing will stall.

Then the 'continuing resolution' budget process will occur, and not pass....with the government shutting down.  Trump won't budge.

In the end....30 days later....they agree to a two-week recess....where all of Trump's  picks are given status (for up to January of 2026).  

4.  I contemplated this story from the NY Times in the AM.  

It's hard to imagine someone burning through $1.5-billion in 4 months.  Imagine an election where she had to run a primary.

What she proved?  Money doesn't matter.

5.  All this chatter of the Trump team engaging with Rwanda.....to get them to accept migrants?  

It's basically to scare the crap out of people....so they run to the Canadian border to escape.  Then they will have to solve their problem.

Four:
1979-89, we owned a restaurant business.
1970s, we owned rental properties around Sacramento, California.
Every expense was directly connected to income.
We got very good at creating something worth buying using the minimum of our tiny profits.
.
With bureaucrats -- and generally, employees at any level -- I see a suicidal disconnect between the concept of creating something of value versus collecting a paycheck.
I think the kamster never noticed that avenue for the tax-dollars she burned.
As a perpetual bureaucrat, the kamster learned to conveniently ignore the source while focusing on TheGreaterGood™ for her handlers, unbidened by what was [waves left hand behind head] formerly in the wallets of 'the little people'.
.
.
An aside:
On Tacky-Ticks, the gals use filters to appear good-looking.
As they lecture their sermons, they gesture or walk around the make-up area -- applying their multiple layers of fake-up [sic] -- they sometimes move beyond the limits of their filters...
... and suddenly, the totally smokin'-hot babe becomes middle-aged and quite plain, the youthful athlete transforms into just another yuge lizard rampager looking to destroy 1950s Tokyo in Black-and-white.
.
The filters used by the kamster attempted to create a 2D appearance of trustable youthful wisdom, but thanks to the bimbos of Tacky-Ticks, nobody was buying it.
.
And by 'nobody', I am referring not to the purveyors of 73,000,000 mail-in votes.
.
.
An aside:
Red Bluff, California.
1994, my acquaintance 'Greg' retired from the California Highway Patrol at 101% of his working salary.
Right at us$9,400 a month.
1994, $9,400, easy to remember.
.
'Greg' died a couple years ago, his COLI (Cost Of Living Increase) retirement pay was in the neighborhood of us$14,000 each month.
On a couple of occasions, 'Greg' admitted "LM, I don't know where this money is coming from!".
.
Well, I know the source.
American congress-critters give billions in foreign-aid to the chinese...
... with the stipulation 97% of it filters back to American tax-burners.
Ponzi would be so proud.
