By my count, a new administration will be inaugurated in 'just' 500 days. I count differently from some of the popular countdown clocks, because I know that inaugurations happen at noon, not midnight.

- Need advice: how best to respond to this (pig butchering scam?) text from nameless 437 area code "I came across your name and thought I'd ask, how did we meet again?" Obviously the best reply is none, but I was really tempted to reply either "in jail?" Or maybe "at FBI training?" Suggestions welcome February 10, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- We need an answer to why the US in the 21st century elected one of the most evil men alive to be President. I think it must have a lot to do with the collapse of crucial vetting institutions, including the Republican Party and the media. But no doubt there is also an important cultural story.

If Only… If only there was a way you could speed that clock up.
Wally, Please don’t speed up the clock! By my estimate we have 72 more constitutional violations, foreign policy blunders, blatant criminal acts, and devestating blows to the economy left in this administration… give or take a war. I’m barely able to handle them at the usual rate. Crowding them together into only a hundred days, for example, might destroy my will to live.
I want as much time as possible to collect evidence of criminal activity. Since impeachment is apparently off the table there is nothing else to do but start investigations and … um I think the next step is fail to receive requested documents and then no effective follow-up…
And again we are supposed to sit around and patiently ignore this. For 17 months.

Haha thanks for that Mojo, i havn’t laughed this hard for a week 🙂
The clocks appropriately named as well, “Hold On For…” Yes hold on indeed it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Carly,
LACJ,
Everytime you speak, the world is worse off. Try to stay on topic buddy. You made a fool of yourself in last week’s postings, please don’t repeat it again this week.
Perhaps consider taking a class in Political Science?
If only there was a countdown until you refrain from posting on discourse.net…
