Organized drug dealers in San Francisco having food delivered to them by their wives and girlfriends. I recently talked to a retired DEA agent who told me, if they really wanted to, all the Organized dealers would be gone in a week. 🤷‍♂️

THE TRUMP CURSE The elections are over. And now the inside stories from the Republican Party are beginning to emerge. Republicans are in shock and have no idea how to recover from such a devastating blow. It became obvious to everyone during the election campaign that Trump was dragging the party to the bottom. That keeping their distance from him was the smartest thing to do. Paradoxically, Republican candidates did not use Trump's name AT ALL in their campaign ads during the final two weeks. Even more remarkably, they practically begged him not to travel, not to help, and not to say a damn word until November 3. But he didn't listen. And now the real fun begins. The next presidential election campaign will officially get underway sometime in the second half of 2027, but unofficially, it began on November 4, 2026. Potential candidates are already trying on the suits of future primary contenders. And while the Democrats are in excellent shape in that regard, with an entire lineup of political stars, both established ones like Harris and Newsom and rising figures like Ocasio-Cortez and Talarico, the Republicans have a serious problem. The unholy trinity — Vance, Rubio, and DeSantis — are, to put it mildly, scared shitless by the prospect of entering the primaries after such a crushing defeat. The three of them have realized that they need to distance themselves from Trump as quickly as possible. DeSantis has it easiest. He wasn't running for anything, and now, from his position as governor of Florida, he's openly dumping buckets of shit on Trump without choosing his words. Vance has it hardest because he's the vice president. But even Vance is now actively criticizing the war in Iran and calling it one of the reasons for the defeat. Rubio is playing the cleverest game of all. According to rumors, he's already preparing to resign rather than go down with this leaking orange lifeboat. And here's where things get really interesting. Those three aren't the only ones holding a grudge against Trump. At least five sitting members of Congress who lost their elections because of Trump now actively hate him. And that list could grow by another two once the vote counting in Mississippi and Alaska is completed. As of today, Trump still has a Republican majority in the Senate — 53 Republicans — until January 2027. And he believes he can quickly push through everything he wants before his party loses control. But not so fast, Donald. At least five Republican senators hate him because they lost their elections on November 3 thanks to him. And then there are those demanding the release of the Epstein files. And those demanding a tougher position against Putin. And those who despise the secretaries of war and health. So, good luck, Donald, with your plan to turn Congress into a legislative rubber-stamp machine. You're going to need it. mykhailorohoza.substack.com

«Невероятно… невероятно», бормотал Трамп Появились любопытные подробности того, как сам Дональд Трамп и его ближайшее окружение переживало тотальный разгром республиканцев на выборах. Президент наблюдал за подсчётом голосов в своей резиденции в Белом доме, вместе с главой аппарата Сьюзи Уайлс и помощницей Натали Харп. Тем временем в Восточном зале, где собрались министры и советники, становилось всё мрачнее. По сведениям Daily Mail, к 23 часам Трамп практически перестал разговаривать. «Он смотрит Fox News, едва произнося хоть слово, словно парализованный молчанием», рассказал источник, близкий к президенту. По другим данным, Трамп время от времени прерывал молчание, бормоча: «Невероятно, невероятно…» Правда, позднее Трамп всё-таки разговорился: начал обвинять проигравших кандидатов, телеканал Fox News и уверять, что сам он тут ни при чём, поскольку его имени не было в бюллетенях. Но всё это делалось в каком-то вялом и подавленном тоне, без огонька. 4 ноября, после разгрома республиканцев, Трамп внезапно собрал журналистов на строительной площадке своего бального зала в Белом доме. Вместо привычной политической брани он почти двадцать минут увлечённо рассказывал о коринфских колоннах, мраморных полах, люстрах и подземной кухне. Сам признался, что строительство его успокаивает. Илон Маск, вложивший в республиканскую избирательную кампанию почти полмиллиарда долларов, занялся несколько неожиданным делом: начал удалять собственные предвыборные публикации. Исчез призыв «Голосуйте за республиканцев сегодня!», а также закреплённый пост от 29 октября, в котором Маск объяснял, почему необходимо голосовать за республиканских сенаторов. Но самая любопытная реакция последовала от вице-президента Джей Ди Вэнса. Он опубликовал совершенно необычное для администрации Трампа заявление, прямо связав поражение республиканцев с политикой Белого дома. Reuters и Axios отмечают, что выступление вице-президента застало сотрудников Белого дома врасплох. Любопытно, однако, что он повторил… тезисы русского фашиста Дугина. Назвав главными причинами поражения войну с Ираном и слишком зависимые отношения с Израилем. Фашик Дугин вчера фактически поставил на Вэнса, который может стать президентом без всяких выборов в случае смерти Трампа. Реальные причины поражения Вэнс не упомянул. Тогда как американцы недвусмысленно их называли: коррупция в администрации Трампа и его ничем не ограниченная власть. Тем более не упомянул заигрывания Трампа с русским фюрером, которые вызвали раскол в республиканской партии. Примечательно, что заявление Вэнса поддержал Трамп-младший: «Подписываюсь под каждым словом на сто процентов». Впрочем, Трампу-младшему стоит беспокоиться не о связях Вашингтона с Израилем, а про его собственные связи с криминалом из путинского общака Умаром Кремлёвым. Сейчас, после убедительной победы демократов, уклониться от расследования будет невозможно.

Jimmy Kimmel tells Donald Trump to "resign" as U.S. president after the Republicans' losses in the midterm elections: “The verdict is in, and there’s only one thing left for Nappy Gilmore to do: Resign. Quit already, just quit. Nobody wants you. Even you don’t want to be president anymore. Take that billion dollars worth of crypto, buy an island. Maybe Epstein’s island? Wouldn’t that be a perfect end to this story!” Kimmel also railed against Trump claiming he would've won if he were on the ballot: "That is such crap. You were on the ballot. You’re like dog hair; you’re on everything. You’ve infected every nook and cranny of our lives. You divided this country like no one else ever divided it before. The only time you ever brought us together was yesterday, when we all teamed up to get rid of you!" variety.com/2026/tv/news/jim…

Gov. JB Pritzker: "JD Vance has been Donald Trump's number one cheerleader. He supported everything about the president. Now, he wants to seem like he's breaking with the president? But the reality is that everything that's happening to American families, right, the the rising cost of everything at the grocery store, your gas pump, all of that, JD Vance is out there promoting."

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith has worn the Confederate flag and made jokes about lynchings. She was just defeated by Scott Colom, the first African American to represent Mississippi in 145 years. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. 🇺🇸

When I came to Congress in 1987, there were only twelve Democratic women. We made it our mission to change that. Today, we celebrate the election of more than 100 Democratic women to the House — a tremendous joy and source of pride. When women succeed, America succeeds!

It’s the war. It’s the blatant corruption. It’s the trade wars. It’s the sucking up to Putin. It’s ICE’s cruelty. It’s the administration’s incompetence. It’s the Epstein files. It’s Trump’s disgraceful behavior in office. It’s a Republican-controlled Congress refusing to hold him accountable. It’s ALL of it. And so much more
JD Vance, in his first statement following last night’s Republican wipeout: “The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night. If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that’s at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.”

Sen. Ted Cruz: "Texas is blue. That is a hard sentence to utter. But Texas, today at least, is blue...We will bring Texas back. I am filled with hope and optimism. Texas will be red again. We have not suddenly become a bunch of tofu-eating, gun-banning, tutu-wearing pinko commie liberals. That ain’t us. Texas is still Texas."
