RANDOM THOUGHT: Why do Progressives hate America? For the same reason dogs lick their butts -- because they can.

DEAR PANICKING REDDIT USER,

Hi, I’m part of the transition team that will help you navigate the massive changes that will be taking place under part two of the Trump administration.

I understand that you have been led to believe that you will all be sent to concentration camps…(well those of you who aren’t deported…JK) but the truth is a lot more boring.

So, first of all, none of you are going to be arrested, fined, jailed, have your property confiscated or sold into slavery. I know your gender studies professor has been claiming otherwise since March, but the only people actually in danger of anything bad happening to them are those who actually break the law, and they will still get due process. Well them and the excess government bureaucrats who are about to lose their tax payer supported jobs, but even they will probably get a nice severance.

You on the other hand will be able to pretty much continue life as normal.

Censorship is no longer the currency of the realm, so feel free to continue melting down on Reddit without fear of retribution from the government.

You’re free to hate Donald Trump, me, the founders, the color white, math, working out, guns your parents and everyone ignoring you on Tinder. You won’t be censored, de platformed or have trumped up (pun intended) charges brought against you for disagreeing with the government.

Now, on the other hand you won’t be getting your school loans paid for by the taxes of the hard working plumber you think you’re better than, but other than that, you are free to live in your mothers basement while you wait for that job that pays you “what you deserve” for all that education you received in lesbian dance theory.

Also, good news. Your taxes are going to be reduced, which probably doesn’t matter a whole lot to you because you don’t pay any, but your parents are really going to appreciate it!

Also there will almost certainly be a lot more job opportunities and a much better environment to start a business. Which again…probably won’t matter to you immediately, but you will appreciate the additional access to goods and services due to increased capital investment, which you no doubt dream about one day seizing just as soon as the Democratic Socialists of America figure out which pronouns to use on their call to arms.

Also, if you do plan to step outside and touch grass, you will be significantly less likely to get mugged or step on a hypodermic needle. (Unless you live in San Francisco…we’ll try to clean it up but the 10th amendment says they’re allowed to live in filth if they so choose.)

If you have any questions, our number can be found on the back of any job application, so this may be the last time we will communicate.

Thanks again, welcome back to America!

EXPLAINING WHY SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN IS NO LONGER SCIENTIFIC: Scientific American editor blasts 'f---ing fascists' who elected Donald Trump.

POWERLINE: What alternative reality looks like.

Defeat....

IF THEY AREN'T CRYING we aren't trying.

HEH. Like Dave defeated the HAL9000, Trump will defeat the Deep State.

I'M FINALLY [MOSTLY] OVER MY RAGE at the jackbooted bureaucratic goons who kidnapped and executed Peanut the squirrel.

From here. And linked from this Instapundit post.

But I'm still pissed off that some anonymous Karen (and Karens can be 'men' too) can call for the 'assassination' of two pets who bring so much joy.

Herewith are some additional thoughts:

WHY PEANUT THE SQUIRREL matters.

Rightfully so. Pet Lives Matter.

GOVERNMENT OVERREACH RUN AMOK: NY state kills Peanut the squirrel.

Squirrels may not have Second Amendment rights -- but I do. Anyone who tries to harm any of my pets will face the pointy end of an AR-15. And at my age, life in prison is not much of a deterrent....

Instapundit has more.

UPDATE: I HOPE HE WINS BIGLY! Peanut owner Mark Longo is filing a "very big" lawsuit and demanding answers about why his animals were seized and euthanized. The state needs to suffer.

On the bright side, Peanut just elected Donald J. Trump as the next President of the United States.

BIG ENDORSEMENT FOR MATT GAETZ: Disgraced deep stater and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe Says Gaetz ‘couldn’t get hired by the FBI’.

High praise indeed....
