These last few weeks have been like watching _Titanic_ (the 1997 film). The _Trumptanic_ hit an iceberg on November 3. When the election was called by the networks on November 7, it was like when the shipbuilder told the captain that the ship would ultimately sink. For the past two weeks, we’ve all been watching the water rise up, deck by deck, as the band has continued to play. Now we’re at the point where the music has stopped, and everything starts going to shit. Everyone still aboard the _Trumptanic_ is going to start jumping overboard or go down with the ship. Emily Murphy (head of the GSA) just jumped overboard. ---

What that water needs is more sharks; lots more sharks. More like the Indianapolis that went down in the Philippine Sea than the Titanic on the North Atlantic. ---

Today, when I drove past the house of the neighbor with the ostentatious Trump display, there were several buzzards sitting on his fence posts. I got a good snicker out of it. ---

This will make it much harder for OANN to find viewers (so sad!) From their own site, it appears that Direct TV is the only major carrier on which OANN is visible. Otherwise you can watch it on your computer IF you download something that gives you a “free trial” and then you have to pay for (I’m not mentioning the name because, jeez). ---

To give Putin his due, that photo shows he knows how to ride quite competently. The mind boggles at the thought of Trump on horseback, no matter how thoroughly swathed his blubber. ---

Eventually they’ll run out of sources that only tell them exactly what they want to hear. Unfortunately, someone will probably still tell them when and where to vote. ---

So is OANN gonna pretend Trump is still president? “It’s May 25, 2021. Today, President Trump went golfing, hyped his outstanding health care plan, and threatened to veto the new environmental protection bills being considered by Congress. The interloper in the building formerly known as the White House, in the meantime, gave an extremely lame press conference attended by no one.” Is that what viewers have to look forward to? ---

One of the _antifa_ websites I check has a story about Georgia tighty-righties on Parler, a veritable cesspool, or so I am told. To the effect that a bunch of them are pushing for a _boycott_ of the upcoming Senate races there. Like maybe write in a vote for Il Douche, rather than the Repub candidate, as a gesture of defiance! Yeah, that’ll teach 'em a lesson! Crazy as a duck on acid.
