      FYI, women have started a Blue Bracelet Movement. Wearing a blue bracelet signifies that you did not vote for DT and can be recognised as an ally if someone needs help, or simply to help folks know they’re not alone. Guys can wear them too.

  2. Trump Holds Up Transition Process Over Ethics Pledge [Click] He already held up transition planning considerably by refusing to agree to conditions for federal transition funding. His “team” doesn’t have office assignments, for but one example. Probably no security clearances or parking permits either, I suppose. Their refusal to engage with the pandemic planning exercise they were given by the Obama administration probably led to the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

  3. Lots of [varied] day-after political speculation at Politicalwire.com [Click] Some of it might even be right.

    1. Josh Marshall: A Follow-Up About Harris [Click] More to come later. Take-away: “She and her campaign weren’t where the problem was. Given the constraints she had to operate under it was a bravura performance.”

    2. The Guardian: How Trump won over voters in deep-blue New York City [Click] Harris still won with 68% of the city’s vote, but it was a steep drop from Biden’s 53-point margin of victory in 2020.

      I have decided to deliberately not listen to analysis of the election with all the finger pointing. It’s clear to me that the cause of this disaster is the people who voted for DT.

  4. It occurs to me to wonder if Trump's presidential paycheck could be garnished. Why not? If it were completely taken that would leave him with free food, shelter, housing, and medical care.

      And just whom do you imagine could get away with garnishing it at this point?

    SOMEDAY
    (from Hunchback)

    Someday when we are wiser
    When the world's older
    When we have learned
    I pray someday we may yet live to live and let live

    Someday life will be fairer
    Need will be rarer
    And greed will not pay
    God speed this bright millennium on its way
    And let it come someday

    Someday our fight will be won then
    We'll stand in the sun then
    That bright afternoon, oh
    'Til then, on days when the sun is gone
    We'll hang on
    We'll wish upon the moon, woah

    There are some days, dark and bitter
    Seems we haven't got a prayer
    But a prayer for something better
    Is the one thing we all share (someday)

    Someday
    When we are wiser
    When the world's older
    When we have learned
    I pray
    Someday we may yet live (let live)
    To live and let live (to live, to live, to live, to live)
    (And let live, oh)

    Someday
    Life will be fairer
    Need will be rarer
    Greed will not pay (no, no, no)
    God speed
    This bright millennium
    Let it come
    Wish upon the moon

    One day
    Someday soon, ooh
    One day, one day
    Someday soon

    Third time’s the charm?

    Twice I have written this and saw that it posted, but then it disappeared.

    Wil and I are in Maine for our granddaughter’s high school play The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She is the stage manager, which is a huge job with this production. It’s a musical and the cast did a fabulous job (excellent and powerful voices)!
