Unfortunately, there is a bunch of recently passed legislation that will take effect just as the newly elected democrats take power. The results will not be good.

Republicans will say "Well, well, well. You voted in a bunch of libruls and now look what happened." and a lot of low information voters will probably fall for it.

Agreed. Instant gratification is not in the cards. And, while the oligarchs have multiple modern versions of the Reichsminister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda at their disposal, the Democratic Party does not. 

Further, I have no reason to believe the Iranians will sign a treaty that does not include hundreds of billions of dollars in war reparations. And, those same instant gratification seeking low information voters will blame the Democratic Party for agreeing to pay what it will cost to end Trump's War. I don't see any easy way out of this dilemma. (Perhaps the least bad option may be to allow the Iranians to collect tolls from the ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz until an acceptable war reparation has been collected.)

The next two years are not going to be a walk in the park for the Democratic Party.

[Trump Reacts to the Midterms - Downfall parody]

I'm still celebrating the Midterm Elections.

Trump Reacts to the Midterms - Downfall parody

On September 17, 1787, upon leaving Independence Hall on the last day of the United States' Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Benjamin Franklin was asked, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"

Franklin replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."

On November 3, 2026, although most probably didn't realize it, "We the people of the United States, ..." voted to keep it.

So, I'm celebrating the win, knowing full well it's only one battle in the current war to keep the United States a republic.

I think the Resistance 2.0 has earned the right to take a victory lap today.

Yes, it's the same old Maladay Holyday, but in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3192.

Hail Eris!

All Hail Discordia!

'Tis the beginning of the fifth and final season of the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3192.

Enter At Your Own Risk. This Is Your Final Warning.

Hail Eris!

All Hail Discordia!

'Tis the 50th day of the Season of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3192, and time once again for me to announce the celebration of Bureflux, the Season's Holyday.

Hail Eris!

All Hail Discordia!

Welcome to the forum.

'Tis the 27^th day of the Season of Bureaucracy in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3192, and time to not give a damn about celebrating the Bureausloth Whollyday. And, in the true spirit of this Whollyday, I'm a day late in even mentioning it.

Carry on.

Hail Eris!

All Hail Discordia!

I agree. Pulling into that particular port of call should improve the morale of much of the crew.

The only thing I can add to your assessment is that I don't believe the US Navy wanted to go on record as having deployed an aircraft carrier for that ungodly length of time without allowing the entire crew to go ashore at all.

[AI Can Now Bioengineer Viruses. Should We Let It?]

Ooh! Ooh! I think I know the answer to this one!

AI Can Now Bioengineer Viruses. Should We Let It?

As per this article:

"AI can draft your emails, plan an itinerary for your next vacation or drum up inspiration for your home renovation. It can also now design the genetic code for new biological viruses.

In a new study in the journal Science, scientists from Stanford University and the Arc Institute used artificial intelligence to design the first genomes for viruses that are not found in the natural world. The synthetic viruses are bacteriophages, which target bacteria and, in this case, destroyed E. coli in a lab setting. 

The research raises hopes of possible advances in biotechnology and healthcare, while also raising concerns about malicious actors creating biological weapons or researchers inadvertently creating dangerous biological agents."

But, that's not all AI has shown it can already do.

And so, the Great Filter has acquired yet another new feature.

Stuff I found...

Pretty cool yeah? Either hill or thorney must've drawn the 1 and 2 ton of flax...

Found the high priest ordination certificate a while ago... Lost the original image though... Argh.. Still trying to find it.

Btw how much u think 1 or 2 tons flax are worth...? Hehehe...

Your first graphic is too blurred to make out much of anything.

But, I don't recall having ever seen any color versions of your second and third graphics.

Do you care to reveal your sources?

[The hubris of Donald Trump]

If it's not already there, it's time to add "Megalomania" to the list of the POSOTUS's "alleged" mental illnesses. The following article makes the case: 

The hubris of Donald Trump

"The president reportedly thinks that he is a "Top 10" world historical figure who is meant to change the world. That level of self-aggrandizing often doesn't end well."

I doubt future historians will rate the POSOTUS as being anything more than another bad president on our Worst Presidents List. And, he won't even be "numero uno." His infamous name will be systematically stripped from just about everything he's ever placed it upon. And, his spawn will have to bury him in a secure location to prevent long lines of people from queuing up and pissing on his grave.
