Morning In America

Of course for some it is still Mourning in America...

James LaForce and his husband Stephen are canceling their holiday party this year...

I think the best part of Trump winning the election, is the reaction of the left. I really find it endlessly amusing. I have a feeling it will last for a while.

A Tale of Two Mugs

The Hillary one makes your coffee taste like the bitter ashes of defeat.

They are over priced. Still, you can keep a set of as a celebratory reminder of what could have been (unless of course Jill Stein manages to overturn the result or they threaten enough electoral voters or she manages to rise from the dead). Or you could just have a set to give to your favorite grieving Hillary supporter. Just doctor that coffee with a lot of Irish whiskey or bourbon and presto, therapy coffee!

EBL: Unfortunately Celebrities on the Left will not live up to their promises to leave...

Hey, I know how they feel. I felt about the same after Obama won re-election (my flawed candidate at the time lost to what I thought was a much worst candidate). Here's some mental health advice to the Democrats--work out your grief. Although, my idea of step seven was to accept that Obama would probably destroy the Democrats and he most certainly did, with plenty of help from the Clintons.  The Left (and #NeverTrumpers) will assume Donald Trump will do the same to the GOP and conservative causes. While that is certainly possible--it is not guaranteed and I would encourage the right to help assist Trump in a way that doesn't happen.  

The best thing Trump could do is not give in to hubris or the bait the left will throw out there, but to steadily push through his primary agenda:  1) A solid conservative SCOTUS pick for Scalia's replacement (and get the Senate to remove the filibuster); 2) get Obama to pardon Hillary as he goes out the door (that removes the issue and makes the Dems acknowledge that there was something to pardon); 3) Kill ObamaCare (it needs to be put down); 4) Address Immigration and Border Security (which granted will face a lot of resistance)--but which initially could be as simple as fines for employers who hire illegals and improving border security and a plan for tracking overstays on visas and reversing the insane plan to bring in more Syrian refugees; and 5) Kill Obama's Iran Deal.

If Trump accomplishes just those in his first term (and I think he could conceivably accomplish most of them in his first six months, that would be a heck of a legacy by itself). It would evicerate Obama's failed legacy.

Captain Queeg Obama

Harry Reid is wrong about so many things, but he is at least partially right about this: Barack Obama's denial, in large part, cost the Democrats the Senate.  Of course denial is also one of the early stages of acceptance. The bad news is Obama is not particularly good at this sort of thing, but he can address the issue with that geometric logic he is so famous for.  

This is not the first Queeg time for Captain Obama

He is having a Queeg moment again!

Those Republicans took the strawberries!
