Here we go again
You win. Not that you wanted to. Holy shit. Time to go get drunk. For the next 4 years. And possibly forever.
Okay, which disasters will pop up the quickest?
Vlad gets the green light to take over whatever he wants.
How soon until there's a world war and US is on Russia's side?
Okay AS, here's where you come in and tell me it's not going to be that bad.
How soon until Social security is gone?
How soon until pre-existing conditions excludes almost everybody from the healthcare system unless they're rich?
How soon until the ICE raids keep all of the workers at home in hiding and paralyzes our economy and it starts to affect the food supply?
How soon until the political assassinations start? The supreme Court already gave him the green light.
How soon until Peter Thiel tells JD to slip Trump his heart attack pills and JD becomes the front man for Peter Thiel who already runs the AI drone targeting software and he can kill anyone he wants. Of course that's a bit off the deep end, but we are moving into JD and his Handmaiden's tale fantasy.
It's interesting that our new gay overlord will be the one to implement it.
Project 2025 has a whole list of disasters waiting to happen. That will live on past Trump. They were using him anyway. He probably didn't know what was actually in there.

Nobody knows.
Someone elsewhere made the point that they survived Stalin and others. Humans find ways to survive and things will eventually get better. Lesson One: Do not obey in advance. (7:39) Hang in there, everyone. Cheers, Scott.

Ambiguous TLAs strike again.
"How soon until the ICE raids keep all of the workers at home in hiding..."
OK, that can't be what it means, but as a motorhead I can't help read that as "Internal Combustion Engine raids".
(I suspect we'll get those here in Europe long before you do in America.) --

Fulfilling my post
Time to get drunk.
I had a surprise Airbnb reservation. My neighbor who I've never met wants their family to stay here. This is a very good thing.
I had a guest in the summer who was staying here to be able to be close to this person. He was a good guest and he had a wonderful dog and this person came over to my house and used the spa and everything was wonderful.
I thought I was closed for the winter. This person gets a discount. I am the most expensive Airbnb in the world in the winter. You want me to uncover my hot tub, it's going to cost you. You want me to drag my ass outside to go downstairs to make the bed, it's going to cost you.
If they agree my price then I'm happy to do it. My annoyance disappears.
But this person saw my price and had a heart attack. Oh, I'm sorry, let me drop that to the neighbor price.
The neighbor price means they feel good. It still pays my electric bill and my water bill plus a little more for the month. And they feel good about paying it.
But even better. This neighbor has access to the State Forest via their backyard. I want this. This neighbor is about 10 houses from me. The standard legal entrance to the state Forest is about 2 and 1/2 mi away. I want to be able to ride my electric bike in the State Forest. It has trails for this. But I don't want to do it via the standard entrance because I might run out of battery and then I'd have to pedal hard uphill for 2 and 1/2 MI. No thanks.
I've been here 3 years. I've rode my bike past this person's house many times. I want in.
This person hung at my house for a few hours and had a great time as we talked and I did various tasks. He said he'd be happy to have me cross through their property to get to the forest.
Yay!!!!!!!!
Back to getting drunk. All of a sudden I have to prep the Airbnb. We didn't have guests anticipated for another couple of months. I have to drive to the local corner tourist trap store and overpay for the various things we put in the fridge because we did not anticipate this.
On the other hand, it's got a great liquor assortment.
It's got my cheap but perfectly acceptable tequila and it's got my new high-end have to try bourbon.
If you're a straight tequila drinker, I seriously suggest you try Lunazul White. This is good stuff and perfectly reasonably priced.
I'm a few shots in. I have a timer set to make sure I don't overdo it. It's been about 3 months since I've had any serious alcohol.
Weeeeee!
The local casino /restaurant that I go to has a bourbon bar and I told them to give me something worth it. They give me a shot of Angel's Envy. That was very nice. So I picked up a bottle of their triple oak. This is for slowly sipping. It ain't cheap.
