    Mango’s head must be spinning over his hunched shoulders right about now.

    • Gabby says:

      More like he went down for an afternoon nap and diaper change. We’ll get a tantrum in the middle of the night.

  2. Sue says:

    I’m so sorry to put a tin foil hat on, but does anyone else find it incredibly odd that many districts that Trump apparently won in the ’24 presidential election are all voting blue?

    • Mayp says:

      Not me. I have always figured that Trump and Musk (who per Trump really knows voting machines!) stole the election

    • Mel says:

      Well, he has made a lot of his army of dolts turn on him but I do think they played games with the results. I won’t be surprised if it comes out that she won.

      He didn’t win and he wasn’t shot.

      • HuffnPuff says:

        🎯 pamspam

      • ChillinginDC says:

        What pamspam said LOL

      • TN Democrat says:

        Pamspam 👆 🎯 👏 👏 👏 Also. The people who voted for mango because they thought he would make unmarried women, people of color and people in the LGBT communities suffer have started to suffer more because the Republikkkans running their states are evil, grifting and desperately incompetent. And. Doge, Hegseth, Miller, et al targeted, fired and retired competent, long term civil servants, intelligence officers and people in the miliary. Those are not the people you want standing outside your tent pissing in.

      • Gabby says:

        Just like Bob Roberts.

    • Sue says:

      I’m glad to know I’m not alone. Thanks, all.

    • FYI says:

      There is no way he won every single swing state in 2024. I have always thought it was all b.s.

      • Elly says:

        Yes, it was absolutely shocking that that many (or any)people would want him back for a 2nd term.

    • Betsy says:

      That’s not a tinfoil theory. Several things are true:
      1) we saw reams of former Republican voters saying that the traitorous events of January 6 were a step too far. Not everyone tracked Trump’s stealing documents, but watching the GOP attempt to steal the election? That was a big deal.
      2) everywhere a person looked in once voting opened, we were told of record numbers. Record registration, record turnout, record this, record that. And the final numbers? Fewer voters than 2020. Where did all those votes go?
      3) the slush counties. In several swing states, the live voting feed showed a fake county. This one sounds absurd but it appears that this was treated as a slush fund of votes. Journalist Scott Carney has more about this (as do others, but he’s the one I remember).
      4) Trump managed to pull off every swing state, just outside the amount that would have triggered a recount? And no appreciable down ballot boost? So voters split their tickets in an unusual manner and just in the swing states?
      5) the bomb threats. Hundreds called in across the country, almost all news of which has disappeared (go try to search it! It’s weird).

      And that’s not even all of it. There was a bizarre level of omertà on Google after the election. I tried searching “election interference 2024” and you know all the results that Google would show was about 2020.

      The election was stolen. Who knew, why didn’t the Democrats do anything, why have we just accepted that “oh, the polls were wrong.” For years. They have softened polls to be kinder to Republicans since at least the early 2000s. What if: what if the GOP has been stealing elections at various levels since then?

    2 Democrats flipped seats in Florida! So, yet another candidate endorsed by Felon47 lost haha. I hope people and the media keep pointing out his hypocrisy in again casting his vote by mail, all while doing everything in his power to prevent average Americans from doing the same. DJT, the J stands for Jackazz!

    I’ve seen some docs on a couple of boy bands and how they were royally screwed over, so this should be interesting. New Edition, who have been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of fame this year, has been in the music business for 40 years, and were the blueprint for boy bands. One of their members Michael Bivins, discovered and produced Boys II Men. I’m really curious about what those members have to say about their experiences, esp since they are currently on tour with New Edition and Toni Braxton.

    If anyone is interested, there’s still time to vote for this years’ Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees at vote.rockhall.com

    • Mel says:

      Watch New Edition’s bio pick. It was on BET and was SURPRISNGLY good. They go into all of that. They signed these kids and don’t tell them that they have to pay the record company back for what they spent on them. They take all the money. The parents had their knickers in a twist because they thought they’d be rich. If you can find it , watch it.

    Orange p.o.s will say it was fraud, just like how orange p.o.s. cheated for his office, which he has degraded to a new historical low.

  5. Mina_Esq says:

    It’s also not true that US is the only country that slows mail-in ballots. We have mail-in voting in Canada. Austria also has it, as do many European countries.

    • North of Boston says:

      Did you mean ‘allows’ mail in ballots.

      While I suspect DeJoy and company did do stuff that slowed delivery of mail in ballots in the US, it would surprise me if those shenanigans were widespread in other countries.

    • Anne Maria says:

      I believe over 30 countries have provision for mail-in ballots. Is any journo ever going to point that out to him, or even to Leavitt? Journalists in other countries are dying or being tortured and imprisoned for trying to report the news and US journos can’t even point out a simple fact.

  6. imaratotha219 says:

    NC also had a really big win last night. The man who shaped state GOP government and legislature while seriously re-drawing already horribly red-lined districts even worst for Trump, was finally ousted. I was so happy. I thought he would never leave. Also endorsed by Trump and lost a significant seat. People are unhappy a state budget still hasn’t been passed. We have been operating on fumes since 2023.

    • ChillinginDC says:

      It makes me happy that apparently we just all needed to touch the stove and are finally done. Well some of us did….I was the 92 percent.

  7. olliesmom says:

    The photos used with the story really just capture his essence don’t they? Sweet baby Jesus and the grown one.

  8. jferber says:

    Never forget when voting by mail, that the orange p.o.s. ushered in a new law 12/24/25 (when people were distracted by the holidays) that the post office NO LONGER NEEDS TO POSTMARK A LETTER/BALLOT the day it was put in the mailbox. So the a-hole wants to disqualify and throw out ballots (most likely by Democrats) that were correctly put in the mailbox by Election Day, BUT WERE NOT POSTMARKED UNTIL AFTER ELECTION DAY. The p.o.s. wants to disqualify as many Democratic ballots as possible. We all know his cheating games. I’m thinking of voting in person to avoid this problem, but the bastard will probably put masked ICE thugs at every voting spot to terrify would-be voters. I should probably wear a red MAGA hat if I vote at the polls so I will not be harassed, molested or shot by Trump’s goons. And I’m not kidding.

    • BeanieBean says:

      I always vote the day I receive my ballot in the mail. I usually drop it in the nearest white ballot box, but now I’ll take it straight to my nearest post office.

      Re your MAGA hat idea–you’re not allowed to wear partisan clothing or pins or carry signs or anything inside the polling place. Might even be a specific distance from the doors that disallows that as well.

  9. ChewieNYC says:

    It’s not lost on me that even with a blue wave win in November and hopefully a D as president not long after, that stupid people will then blame Ds for the continued problems caused by Trump and not getting it all back to normal fast enough. Happens every time.

    • Mimic says:

      💯 ChewieNYC. Every single time. I hate it here.

      The mess that Joe had to fix from orange shitstain’s first term, and did remarkably well, only to be crapped upon by voters because the fix wasn’t fast enough. Sigh. Only one example of so many. So many stupid, uncritical, and selfish voters.

      • HuffnPuff says:

        I agree, Chewie. There’s a large group of Americans that vote that either have short term memory or they like chaos or both. People’s lives are messed up so they want to ruin everyone else’s. It’s sick but true. That’s the whole “liberal tears” BS comes from. They think liberals have life made but all of us all struggling. Until we in the 99% realize we are on the same side economically and band together, we will suffer at the hands of billionaires.

  10. jferber says:

    BeanieBean, thanks, I forgot about the partisan clothing rule.

  11. Jais says:

    Alright, I’m here to talk about Casey and Ted. I’m not here for mergers and job loss. To me it was always a no win solution, whether it was Netflix or paramount, although Ellison always seemed like the apocalypse. Anyways, at this point, from what I can tell, the best bet for diversity, in at least casting and ideally production, is going to be through Casey and Ted. It sure as hell ain’t gonna be through Ellison or Zaslav. That said, I wish Ted was more invested in theaters. And I think a lot of Netflix’s content is just absolute slop. But Casey, now Casey, imo, has a very good and discerning eye for what works. Combining the two of them? Maybe Casey could improve Netflix content which frankly it needs. That said, as of now Casey is HBO so we’ll see what happens over the next few years as paramount absorbs essentially everything except Netflix. Will Casey stick around hbo to be noted by Ellison if that’s the route Ellison ends up taking? Doubtful.
