The Goat Pen

I don't know if this is dubbed or real, but I hope it's real...

People say "Wow, it's already Christmas (or birthday, or graduation or whatever)? That year flew by!" Well, these past four years have been the longest ever, but finally even the most notorious ill fortune eventually ends. Thank you jesus. This nightmare ends today. Diaper Don disappears, he is finished in every sense. Good riddance...

I ain't no Mod!

I'm not a Fox News guy but this doesn't sound like the Trump agenda is going away anytime soon

no Snowden pardon?

that's disappointing

That one would've had to have been given on principle, not personal gain, so obviously it was not forthcoming...

Insofar as the Trump "agenda" was to stoke bitterness and resentment, sure, that's not going away. But Trump is going away. He's a two bit cn man who got run out of town. But yes, bitterness and resentment aren't going away, Fox is just scrambling to position themselves to profit from it, just like Trump did for the past 4 years...

I"m surprised Fox actually went that way, prior to the election and highlighted on election night they were definitely moving away from the Trump agenda.

Then they dropped to 3rd in the ratings when Trump told his supporters to go to OAN and Newsmax.

That must have got their attention.

Ecat claiming he's not a Fox News guy is like me saying Ive never touched alcohol.

...or under aged boys.

Cmon now. He said he was 18.

B

You know you laughed

Here's an example of the kind of folks eCat assures us "aren't going away." Granted, this is a little extreme, but I think it's a pretty fair expression of how most of them really feel, even if they don't express it like this. Am I really supposed to cater to people like this?? Well, I'm not going to...

Ecat can suck it.

Damn man, you've run everybody else off, why eCat??

you're gonna find those people just like the karen's that were screaming when Trump was elected.

they were all supposed to move to Canada as I recall

It's not just the left that is mocking Trump supporters. This could've been from the Lincoln Project or even The Onion, but no, this is from the National Review:

Witless Ape Rides Helicopter

Well, that sucked.

Memo to MAGA and all its myriad fellow-travelers: Maybe Death of a Salesman as presented by Leni Riefenstahl just wasn’t the show Americans were dying to tune into this season.

And, while we’re at it, maybe turning your party over to Generalissimo Walter Mitty, his hideous scheming spawn, and the studio audience from Hee-Haw was not just absolutely aces as a political strategy.

Think on it, Cletus. I know this whole thing still sounds like your idea of a good time — how’s that working out for you?

Let me refresh your memory: On the day Donald Trump was sworn in as president, Republicans controlled not only the White House but both houses of Congress. They were in a historically strong position elsewhere as well, controlling both legislative chambers in 32 states. They pissed that away like they were midnight drunks karaoke-warbling that old Chumbawumba song: In 2021, they control approximately squat. The House is run by Nancy Pelosi. The Senate is run, as a practical matter, by Kamala Harris. And Joe Biden won the presidency, notwithstanding whatever the nut-cutlet guest-hosting for Dennis Prager this week has to say about it.

Donald Trump is, in fact, the first president since Herbert Hoover to lead his party to losing the presidency, the House, and the Senate all in a single term. Along with being the first president to be impeached twice and the first game-show host elected to the office, that’s Trump’s claim to the history books. Well, that and 400,000 dead Americans and the failed coup d’état business.

You Trumpish Republicans sneered that Joe Biden was too corrupt and too senescent to win a presidential campaign, that he was one part mafioso and one part turnip.

That turnip kicked your dumb asses from Delaware to D.C.

So you rioted. Real smart move, Cletus.

Five Americans are dead. Barricades have been erected around the Capitol. Thousands of federal troops have been deployed to the streets of Washington. State capitols have been obliged to prepare for siege. Americans blame you for this — and they are not wrong.

“Trust the plan,” the QAnon cultists say. Is this what you were planning? I know you are stupid, but you are not that stupid.

“Oh, but he fights!” you’ll say — over and over and over. He didn’t fight — he tweeted. He’s ten feet tall on social media and a pushover in real life. Trade deficit: up. Unemployment rate: rising. Abortion rate: rising. Beijing: rising. The coronavirus body-count: rising.

But he sure did tweet a lot!

And he pardoned Roger Stone — at least he took care of that pressing national priority.

“But the judges!” you protest. Fair point: Trump’s absurd attempts to overturn the election through specious legal challenges were laughed out of court by the very men and women he appointed to the bench. Even his judges think he’s a joke.

Everybody has figured that out. Except you.

And so, goodbye, Donald J. Trump, the man who wanted to be Conrad Hilton but turned out to be Paris Hilton. Au revoir, Ivanka and Jared, Uday and Qusay — there’s a table for four reserved for you at Dorsia. So long, Melania — it’s still not entirely clear what you got out of this, but I hope it was worth it. A fond farewell to Ted Cruz’s reputation and Mike Pence’s self-respect, Lindsey Graham’s manhood and Fox News’s business model. In with “Dr.” Jill Biden, out with “Dr.” Sebastian Gorka.

Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night.

I’m sure we’ll all meet again. But I’d really rather we didn’t.
