Too many voters? Its just not fair!
So Trump finally found something about the Midterms to complain about - there were just too many Democratic voters!Well, yeah.
And this may well become another purity test for MAGA.
In a number of races, the Democrat got more votes in just the Early-Absentee-Mail vote than the Republican got from the EAM plus election day vote combined.
That just shows how angry and fired-up Americans were, to vote in such massive numbers against these traitor Republicans. But Trump doesn't want to believe it, so he won't. Like "who won 2020?", the question "who won the Midterms?" may become the test that separates MAGA from everyone else. And now I anticipate Trump will do his worst to try to deny Democrats their congressional majorities in January.

The latest about the World Juniors
It's becoming ridiculous, isn't it.
The International Ice Hockey Federation can bluster and pout all they want, and tell Norway to stay home (though they're still listed on the IIHF website).
But the World Juniors in Alberta are finished unless the IIHF stops Russia from attending.
Of the 10 teams qualifying for the tournament, Canada is refusing to let the Russian team into our country, while Finland, Sweden, Germany, Czechia, Latvia, Switzerland, and Norway will refuse to play Russia anywhere. So even if the IIHF could move the tournament to some other country at this late date, the only teams willing to play in it would be Russia, the USA and Slovakia.
Sigh.Trump doesn't know it but since 2020, we've discovered the antidote to this BS.

Articles of impeachment were brought against Hegseth today, and I expect there will be more - even Jeffries has realized he has to start talking tough if he wants to be Speaker.
Stay tuned for Nuremburg 2: The Reckoning
More about Stephen Miller
A fascinating piece by Miles Taylor, who was DHS Chief of Staff in Trump 1, and has admitted to being "Anonymous"
...After a few days of licking his wounds, Trump is already back to his old ways. Over one weekend he’s threatened to criminalize the opposition, jail the press, and cast doubt on the vote. But this time he’s put someone in power who will eagerly advance those directives, rather than let them die a quick death in Trump’s frenetic social media feeds.
I want to tell you about the man he’s tapped to run the White House. I spent the better part of two-and-a-half years dealing with Stephen Miller almost every day. And his selection for the job is among the most dangerous, foolish, and self-defeating actions we’ve ever seen an American president take.
...he’s not a stabilizer in that building. He’s an accelerant of the president’s absolute worst impulses.
Before I quit the first Trump administration, Stephen showed me a locked drawer in his office on the second floor of the West Wing. In it, he said, were draft executive orders written for a second term, each designed to test the outer limits of presidential power and to get those tests to the Supreme Court as fast as possible. It would be a “shock-and-awe blitz,” he grinned.
Now think back to what’s already happened. The National Guard in American cities… the attempts to end birthright citizenship by decree… the impoundment of money Congress appropriated… the firing of inspectors general and civil servants by the thousands… Miller’s comments about suspending habeas corpus… how close we’ve gotten to Trump invoking the Insurrection Act.
Stephen’s “locked drawer” is now open, and there’s no one standing in between him and the president. So Americans can expect serious confrontation, not course correction, from the Trump administration — the likes of which we’ve never seen.
The Trump team has publicly signaled that it sees last week’s losses as a reason to go harder and faster, and with Stephen running the West Wing I can tell you what that will probably look like. The president will double down on revenge against his enemies… he’ll abandon Ukraine and force a settlement with Russia… he’ll pull back from NATO, if not withdraw entirely… and he’ll let all of his agencies be personally micromanaged by Stephen, regardless of whether they’re run by a Senate-confirmed appointee.
But here’s what I also learned watching Stephen up close, which is the reason I think his promotion is (in the end) good news for the political opposition.
Stephen Miller always overreaches. Always. The Muslim ban was his, and it was rewritten three times after courts and the public tore it apart. Family separation was his, and the backlash was so severe that Trump himself signed an order reversing it. Troops in the streets was his, and the courts and the governors pushed back and ejected U.S. forces from American cities. The Minnesota crackdown was his, and it was pulled back after the uproar following the killing of two U.S. citizens. Stephen is not a man who reads the room very well or adjusts to get his way. His instinct is to drive to the extreme and keep driving until something stops him. Something always does. The problem is that we have to get to the extreme first.
That’s what I mean when I say he will fail catastrophically. The catastrophe cuts both ways. He’ll create chaos in this country unlike anything we’ve lived through so far in Trump 2.0, because for the first time there’s no one in the building to slow him down. And that chaos is going to do what family separation and Minnesota did, which is infuriate the American people to the point that the president is forced onto his back foot until he topples over.
So I’ve got bad news for the fist-pumping frat bros in the MAGA movement who are excited that such a sycophant is now in charge. Stephen Miller isn’t going to make MAGA stronger. He’s going to make it — once and for all — fatally radioactive.

The World Juniors would become just three "friendlies" exhibition games.

Even Trump-buddy Wayne Gretzky supports Carney denying entry to the Russia team.CBC's Saturday Political Panel on PM Carney's call to bar Russia from world juniors "Canadian and Russian hockey players should not ever play each other, especially not in Canada, as long as the war in Ukraine remains." "To allow Russia to play is to add legitimacy to an enemy."

I don’t see the issue. Prime Minister Carney has said Canada will not grant visas to the Russian players which means they cannot legally enter the country. So what in hell is the IIFH’s problem? Do they need to hear it in both our official languages? www.ctvnews.ca/sports/artic...

Fuck the IIHF and Russia. Norway says it has been bumped by the IIHF to allow Russia to compete at world juniors in Canada. The world juniors are set to open in Alberta on Dec. 26. www.cbc.ca/sports/hocke...
