Bonception, by BonBon.

Which one is the weakest link?

It's important that Democrats understand that Trump's winning margin was as tiny as his hands, because he will simply keep repeating the word "mandate" until Congress and the media are hypnotized into submission. Don't let him get away with it.

Joan Walsh in The Nation:

As blue Western states and cities finish counting votes, it looks like the popular vote “landslide” projected for Donald Trump last week turned out to be a trickle. When all the votes are counted, he will end up with a margin of roughly two points over Vice President Kamala Harris. Presidents Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and Richard Nixon in 1972 won more than 60 percent of the popular vote; Ronald Reagan in 1984 won 58 percent. Those were landslides.

Jonathan Chait in New York Magazine:

Upon learning that he had won a clear election victory, Donald Trump responded, as is his custom, with a transparent lie. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he gloated.

The knives have come out. CNN is hosting many of these right wing Democrats who make millions off the party and its members and then use right wing rhetoric to take it down after their own failures.

I put up the entire transcript of his sleepwalking nonsense of what the Democratic party is. Reiness' version of what what he perceives the party is comes right out of the the dead hands of Roger Ailes.

It's ludicrous. Every "woke" complaint he has comes right out of the mouth of Christopher Rufo. Anus Reiness has taken Kellyanne Conway's alternative facts nonsense to the extreme. How CNN believes this man speaks for the party is beyond me.

REINESS: Either way, here's the problem, I'm not concerned right now what the right thinks about the Democratic Party.

I'm concerned about what I think about the Democratic Party. I don't like to echo the congressmen, all three of them, I don't like the fact that a small portion of our party is pretty much dictating where we are. That they are pretty much, we are being branded as the most extreme of us. It is not only politically problematic, as we just saw, because none of this stuff helped the other day.

President Joe Biden passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris because he was concerned about our country under another Trump administration. There is no ill will between the two, and when Biden stumped for Harris, he looked proud. So, it's not unusual for the two to have a private lunch together unless you are Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wasn't having any of it.

"And we know that today, a week after the election, President Biden and Vice President Harris had a private lunch," Doocy asked. "How awkward was that?"

"I don't even understand," Jean-Pierre said. "Why would it be awkward?"

"Because the president got squeezed out for her, and then she kept him at arm's length, and then she lost, and now she's back," he said.

"Why would you characterize it as awkward?" Jean-Pierre said. "They have regular lunches. They meet and talk regularly. Why would you call it awkward?"

"There's no weirdness about the way that things have unfolded so far," she continued. "Did you see them together yesterday as well, when they honored our veterans and were together during the day, making sure that we didn't forget the brave men and women that fought for this country?"

"Did you see them together yesterday?" she asked. "Did you see the show of force together?"

Fox and Friends co host Steve Doocy admitted his shock after realizing Trump had actually tapped his Fox News colleague Pete Hegseth to be Defense Secretary.

"Is that real?" Doocy said, not believing it could be true.

The Fox and Friends hosts did their best to pretend their colleague is completely qualified to be the Secretary of Defense, even though he has no experience running anything other than a shell charity that he paid his brother with.

Doccy: So I’m looking at Twitter for a moment or X because I noticed that Peter Doocy was trending on Twitter and it turns out because he’s been suggested for press secretary. And that’s just so funny to me because it’s like, come on.

And then I saw this thing. Pete Hegseth has been named the nominee for press secretary or, rather, Secretary of Defense, and I thought, ‘Well, is that real?’ And then it started to like a gusher. All this news that essentially caught Washington totally off guard. Pete Hegseth! The guy on the couch, is Donald Trump’s selection to be the Secretary of Defense.

I didn't clip all the rest of their chitchat since they gave their rubes the basic "alternative facts" rationale to defend Donald Dump and anything MAGA.

They almost claimed Hegseth was overqualified for the job.

What a joke.

They’re a simple little candy, Mike and Ike, just elongated jelly beans. Listen in for some fun flavors they’ve come in and our suggestions for the future.

In the latest Candyology 101 podcast, Maria and I tackled a little-celebrated candy bar, the Whatchamacallit. We’re also trying out a new format, which is a little shorter, like a handful of fun size candy bars!

Let’s all take a break with KitKat on this episode of Candyology 101. Maria and I take a quick look at one of the most popular candy bars in the world.

How about something tangy? In this episode from last month, Maria and I talk about the never-duplicated LemonHeads and their companion candies.

Between threats from Anonymous and a new crackdown from Twitter, ISIS is having a tough time reaching out and recruiting new psychopaths online.

To circumvent the censorship, the Islamic militant group has reportedly created its own social network called “Khelafabook.”

The Facebook clone claims it is independent and not actually sponsored by ISIS (even though it has ISIS logos all over its homepage). It says its goal is to show the world that they don’t only “live in caves” and “carry guns,” and they vow to “will rule the world by Allah’s permission.”

Khelafabook was set up by a man in Mosul, Iraq, according to The Independent, and is hosted in Egypt. There’s also an associated Twitter account which is linked to from the site.

The site first popped up last week, but has already been taken offline “to protect the info and details of its members,” according to a message on the page.

After it was taken down, Twitter accounts associated with Anonymous appeared to claim responsibility, as Vocativ points out.

For the the time being they’ll have to look elsewhere to share their terrorist pancake recipes.

It's as if Evans is battling it out with the 'Red Skull' himself. A word to the wise, a Twitter Pro Tip if you will: maybe don't go after Captain America himself, unless you're ready for a solid ass-whooping.
