When will Hillary Clinton give up her candidacy ? Part 2

Here's the video, and apparently it's Joe Biden, who's been comparitively invisible compared to his predecessor.

OK. It's the full nightmare. This is drunk smelly Vikings crashing ashore below your village. No good will come of this.

Key cabinet officers? As a nod to nostalgia, Newt Gringrich. And it gets worse than that. Trump's lieutenants will be like a pyramid of psychopaths. No good will come of this.

Today, he tweeted the following:

That's two days into his president in waiting thing. Now, over the next while, will we see and hear little from Trump because he's nose-to-the-ground studying and listening and learning and making decisions about people and more learning... or will Donald fall to his natural place - chest puffing in the spotlight?

One clue comes from the recent news item that one of the private jets in Donald's fleet would, at the appropriate time, be returning from France with a cargo of one stallion who's breeding could be traced back to the horse that Napoleon rode.

The Inauguration will be a production. Believe me. Explosion and blinding lights as the curtains open. To reveal Donald descending on a golden moving stairway from heaven while Barack Obama goes down on the other moving stairway {dark red lighting}.

And Donald will swear his oath while astride the horse from France.

You poor, poor Americans.

sounds like youve been eating the trump sammich

hehehehe.... It will be amazing.

This is validating. You're on the other side of the continent and you heard that?!

Suddenly, after endless posts decrying "our" political system and the political issues of the day, Blatham has rediscovered his heretofore unmentioned Canadian apartness. Perhaps he will be able to find fulfillment in an exacting study of the work of the abstract nuances of Canadian politics. However he does it I do wish him well, despite his annoying condesension and pseudo intellectual theorizing

After months of forecasting the coming self-destruction of "movement" conservatism (whatever that is) we find instead that it is our Democrats whose foundations at the state level continue to erode, and whose political dominance now comes only from the largely unelectable far left of their party -- a situation in several respects like that of the British Labor Party under the hapless Jeremy Corbyn.

35 of 50 states now have Republican Governors, and Republican dominance of State legislatures continues a 15 year run of continuous growth. I believe that was the most significant underlying trend in this election. From where will the Democrats find their next generation of leaders? Tim Kaine? Bernie Sanders ? Elizabeth Warren? I think not. In an odd, and perhaps ironic, way the populist (and moderate) Trump may have solved the problem of the heretofore intractable far Right segment of the Republican Party.

Obama's "legacy" is ashes, and his party is leaderless and likely divided. . How wisely (or unwisely) Trump will behave in office is as yet unknown by any of us. Blatham's overinflated forecasts are just so much renewed hot air.

George, you are tumescent. In public. Settle down now.

I now find myself with an unexpected problem. It would be rather like a writer getting an assignment to write 500 sprightly words on the beauty to be found under the lid of a camping ground public toilet. By 2:00. Is this the wrong career?

On the contrary, I believe I am a model of patient and thoughtful restraint.

Read Machiavelli's "Diccourses on Livy" for some pragmatic understanding of the dynamics of enduring political systems. This was 12th century stuff, and Machiavelli focuses on Livy's History of Rome to examine the factors that led to freedom, balance and stability in a republic. Unlike most of the relatively static comparisons of abstract political systems, with which we are familiar, Niccolo focuses on the dynamics of internal shifts, left and right and looks for the factors that limit excesses from both sides and thereby promote stability and jusice.

Despite the somewhat archaic syntax it's a great and interesting read, and well grounded in real events.

I don't know about "restraint." Enjoyed your company at our meet in San Francisco some years ago. You're congenial, love to talk about your navy days, and just fun to be with. I'm trying to talk glitterbag into coming out so we can have another meet.

I almost met george once, in new york city. We were having a big abuzz/a2k party. I'd earlier sent him my certificate from the health department and I'd received his. But fate intervened. His mother called him as he headed for the subway and told him that the NSA had forwarded FOI documents proving that he never called her. He messaged and said he'd have to cancel. I remain disappointed.

But I do have trustworthy friends who have met george in person. I am indebted to them a richer perception of the fellow.

flatus scribibus.

My next tatt!

I appreciate knowing you as well. It pisses me off occasionally, but I persist.

Well, blatham, fill me in the day after; cause I sure ain't going to watch it.

How are you handling Hitlary's loss?

Im doing okay but my face muscles are cramping from smiling for too long.

Have five ounces of whisky. It'll loosen your face muscles.

Well I must say I did not expect this. The leaders of ISIS across the middle east and asia have announced their subjugation to and respect for the powerful and benevolent Donald Trump.

This guy really is something else.
