Good News: Americans Are No Longer Listening to Mass Media


If the 2024 presidential contest proved anything, it's that the mass media no longer drive the national conversation. They can no longer stoke fear and outrage in average voters. They can no longer prop up terrible candidates. And, like him or not, President-elect Donald Trump's success with black, Hispanic and Jewish voters, if exit polls are even close to correct, proves that the entire "fascist" scare was a flop.

Indeed, the establishment press are less trusted than virtually any major institution in American life. It's a well-earned ignominy. It's also a tragedy for a free nation that we have a barely functioning press. Reporters probably tell themselves they're disliked because they're fearless truth-tellers. But, far more likely, it's a referendum on their deceit.

There was never a reckoning for the Russia collusion hysteria that enveloped the nation or the concerted effort to censor and gaslight us on the Hunter Biden laptop story. There will be no reckoning for spending years fearmongering about the coming Nazism, either.

Recall, as well, how we got here. Most of the media had spent four years covering up President Joe Biden's mental and physical decay by the time the first presidential debate rolled around. It was perhaps the most stage-managed presidency in history, and not one reporter with access to the White House, outside of Fox News, thought it important enough to let us know that the commander in chief could barely function. This, far more than another pedantic fact check of Trump hyperbole, is why we need journalists.

When the Wall Street Journal finally ran a well-sourced piece detailing Biden's slippage, the paper was widely assailed by leftist media, which feigned deep concern about the veracity of the sourcing on the story. These are the same people, incidentally, who treat anonymously sourced Atlantic hit pieces as incontestable truth.

Those who shared a video of Biden puttering around aimlessly were accused of spreading conspiracy theories themselves. When Biden's fragile mental state could no longer be hidden, the political press immediately, and without any explanation, turned their focus to elbowing out the president and installing Vice President Kamala Harris. That's not just bias -- it's corrupt.

Then came "Kamalot," the shameless, sycophantic, contrived campaign to persuade voters that a woefully inadequate candidate, one who had never won a primary contest, was actually a generational political talent. She went a month without giving a genuine interview or offering as much as extemporaneous comment. In a properly functioning liberal democracy, the press would never have stood for it.

When Harris finally began unleashing her swirling platitude-ridden sentences, it became clear she was in over her head. Once-respected institutions such as "60 Minutes" threw away what was left of their reputation, splicing one of Harris' disjointed ramblings into a coherent answer. CBS News has yet to release the transcript of her interview. The rationalization, no doubt, was saving democracy.

Most quarters of the media, though, not only refuse to debate but won't concede that there is a debate. Most days, there isn't a single person on MSNBC or NBC News or ABC News or CBS News or on any of the editorial pages of most of the biggest newspapers in the country who can articulate positions held by half the country, much less agree with any of them. And, no, stacking your panels with Trump-hating former conservatives who champion every left-policy position imaginable doesn't count. The zeal of the liberal convert isn't really serving anyone.

On election night, I watched MSNBC's Joy Reid, Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow processing the loss to Trump. These were the people anchoring news coverage. Really, a satirist would struggle to replicate some of the astounding crackpottery I heard. Reid, as an example, used the word "fascist" with the frequency a normal person might use pronouns.

There is a preternatural lack of self-awareness in much of the established media. Not once, for instance, did anyone on that MSNBC panel ever bring up the possible downside of recklessly accusing everyone who disagrees with them of being a "fascist." Rather, they just kept wondering how all these Americans could vote for Hitler.

Even the day after Harris' defeat, cable news panels were devolving into struggle sessions and group therapy. It's almost surely going to get worse before it gets better. The presence of Trump, in fact, promises higher ratings at these outlets.

With every debacle, the institution gets worse. There is more insufferable self-glorification. More priggishness. More smugness. A bigger unearned sense of moral superiority. It's exceedingly doubtful much will change.

On the bright side, though, most people have stopped listening.



You Will Drive a Tesla and You Will Love It: Tesla Stock Soars Past $320 After Elon Musk ‘Made a Bet for the Ages’

 Tesla Stock Soars Past $320 After Elon Musk ‘Made a Bet for the Ages’



Tesla stock has staged a massive—and somewhat surprising—rally since the election. And Wall Street is getting more optimistic about Elon Musk’s electric vehicle maker.

Tesla stock shot up another 8.2% on Friday to cruise past $320 a share, closing at $321.22 while the S&P 500 rose 0.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.6%.

The stock hasn’t closed above $300 since September 2022. It hasn’t closed above $321.22 since April 2022. All the recent gains sent Tesla’s market value back above $1 trillion based on 3.21 billion shares outstanding—which doesn’t include options held by Musk.

Thursday and Friday’s moves followed a 15% jump in Tesla stock following Donald Trump’s presidential election win over Democratic challenger Kamala Harris. The shares have gained 29% this week alone.

Wednesday and Thursday’s gains added almost $45 a share, or $145 billion in market capitalization, for Tesla. That’s roughly equivalent to the combined market value of General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis.

Early in the election cycle, a Tesla rise following a Trump victory was far from certain, or even expected. Trump isn’t a fan of EVs, disparaging them and Biden-era EV subsidies several times in the recent past.


But Tesla CEO Elon Musk endorsed the former president’s bid to recapture the White House shortly after a failed assassination attempt in July. After that, Musk and Trump grew closer, and the entrepreneur campaigned hard for the now president-elect.

There is no reason to doubt Musk’s sincerity, but aligning himself with Trump turned out to be an incredible hedge for Tesla.

EV stocks didn’t have a good day on Wednesday. Lucid Group stock fell 5.3%, Polestar Automotive Holding shares fell 8.2%, and Rivian Automotive dropped 8.3%.

The difference between falling 8% and rising 15% for Tesla stock works out to about $185 billion in stock market value. The $37.09 rise in Tesla shares added roughly $120 billion in stock market value, exceeding the amount Musk likely donated to the Trump campaign by roughly 1,000 times. What’s more, Musk’s net worth increased by some $25 billion the day after the election.

“Musk made a bet for the ages,” said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives. He rates Tesla stock at Buy with a $300 price target.

Tesla’s Wednesday and Thursday gains leave shares up about 19% this year. They also sent Tesla stock above recent resistance—a term used by analysts who look at stock charts to get a sense of levels where investors have bought and sold stocks in the recent past.

Tesla has a “bullish chart pattern,” said CappThesis founder Frank Cappelleri. If shares can stay above $270 in the coming days, he thinks $400 could be in play in the coming months. That is a significant increase from current levels. Fairlead Strategies analyst Will Tamplin sees some additional resistance around $340.

At any of the recent levels, investors still have to think about what to pay for Musk’s EV company. The average analyst price target is about $237, roughly $60 below where the stock trades.

It isn’t all that unusual for Tesla stock to trade for higher than the average target price, however. What’s more, Tesla has its bulls. BofA Securities analyst John Murphy on Thursday raised his target price by $85 to $350. That’s the highest price among major brokers, according to FactSet, and values Tesla at about $1.1 trillion. Murphy rates Tesla stock at Buy.

He wrote that Tesla should be “indifferent” to new EV policies from a second Trump administration but could benefit from less strict regulations dealing with self-driving cars. Tesla plans to launch a self-driving cab service in late 2025.

Murphy’s target values Tesla at about 106 times the consensus 2025 earnings estimates aggregated by FactSet. Coming into Thursday trading, Tesla shares fetched about 76 times estimated earnings, far higher than the market’s 21 times multiple. Tesla’s earnings, of course, are expected to grow much faster than the market, justifying a higher multiple.

Earnings growth has to accelerate for Tesla stock to maintain recent momentum into 2025 and beyond—no matter who is in the White House.

Deconstructing the Mythology of January 6


In the aftermath of the 2024 election, the certification of electoral votes at the House will stand as a looming civic impasse. There is a congressional process necessary to the certification of Presidential elections and the rhetorical interpretation of January 6, 2021 stands as a profound point of misunderstanding. The deliberate misrepresentation of events surrounding January 6 was the primary pretext to the longstanding argument against Trump’s election -- suggesting he is a "threat to democracy." The mythology of January 6 is an incredible story of the power of this misguided epistemology. Kamala Harris chose to build her closing argument for election upon the D.C. space where President Trump urged followers to “peacefully and patriotically” have their voices heard at the Capitol. The misunderstandings surrounding January 6, 2021 are at the foundation of current political angst in America that fears rising violence in the months ahead.

The only elected political figure to call for violence on January 6, 2021 was Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. On that day she said: “I hope he comes, I want to punch him out. This is my moment. Ive been waiting for this. For trespassing on the Capitol grounds. I want to punch him out, and Im going to go to jail, and Im going to be happy.” Trump never came to the Capitol grounds but Pelosi broadcast her violent appeals for brutalizing the President of the United States to television cameras that day. Her brutish rhetoric fit well with her antagonism of tearing up a copy of the President’s State of the Union Message a year before -- again before congressional members and on live television. Pelosi’s calls for violence have not been criticized by our public intellectual culture and in 2022 she reiterated that she continues to seek for violence against the President of the United States. The Speaker of the House said that the President of the United States did not have “the balls” to face her directly on January 6, 2021. Pelosi appealed to a notion of toxic masculinity by casting herself as an ideal alpha male willing to punch out the immoral intruder.

Another major advocate for violence at the capitol on January 6 was Jayden X. His real name is Jonathan Sullivan. As a left-wing activist he made a name for himself in the George Floyd protest era of 2020 but made a specific purpose of misleading Trump supporters inside the capitol that he was on their side. He urged them to burn down the capitol: “we about to burn this shit down,” “we got to rip Trump out of office... fu**ing pull him out of that sh*t... we aint waiting until the next election we about to go get that motherf***ker.” Sullivan then can be seen leading the crowd in a chant of, its time for a revolution.” Before arriving in the Capitol, Sullivan said, “There are so many people. Lets go. This sh*t is ours! F**k yeah, We accomplished this shit. We did this together. F**k yeah! We are all a part of this history,” and Lets burn this sh*t down.” Sullivan maintains that what he did that day misleading the protesters and inciting them to violence was the right thing to do. His incitements undoubtedly contributed to the killing of Ashli Babbit, which Sullivan filmed. Sullivan sold the snuff film for more than $90,000 to major media outlets such as NBC. His alias of JaydenX is built upon the false hagiography built by American intellectuals about what a profound afro-pessimist Malcolm X was and that the dreams of black Americans are best met in the unrealized violent fantasies of Malcolm X, killed too soon by the government. At his sentencing hearing in April of this year, Sullivan explained: “he bragged that he'd sought to “make those Trump supporters f--- s--- up.”

On the one year anniversary in 2022, President Biden lied to the American people and said in a major presidential speech that a police officer, William Evans, was killed on January 6 when, in fact, that officer was killed in April 2021 by another radical Left activist inspired by the Nation of Islam. Here again the blue privilege of telling false narratives about the deaths of police officers is reserved to high partisans of anti-Republicans such as President Biden and Kamala Harris.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was not held to account for her calls for violence on January 6 and in fact instigated one of the most important epistemological tomes on the matter -- the January 6 House Select Committee. In defiance of House rules, Pelosi refused to allow congressional members appointed from the Republican leadership. Representatives Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney were the only Republicans appointed by Pelosi on the investigative committee. Both concluded prior to examining evidence that Trump was guilty of inciting an insurrection. Trump advisor Steve Bannon was sent to prison for refusing to testify before the illegitimate committee. The refusal to allow debate about such an important question of insurrection belies the ugly censoring arrogance of our anti-Republican establishment. After losing control of the House in 2022, the leadership of the House summarily destroyed contrary evidence they gathered during those hearings.

The coverup of January 6 is consistent with Pelosi’s own assessment that she gave by the end of the day on January 6. She was herself responsible for the lack of security, as she explained that day to an HBO news crew: We have totally failed. We have to take some responsibility for not holding the security accountable for what could have happened.” She further confirmed this by exclaiming, Oh my god, I cannot believe the stupidity of this. And I take the full responsibility.” Full responsibility would require a balanced and comprehensive congressional investigation of January 6. Understanding why President Trump’s fundamental and key recommendation to place National Guard troops at the Capitol was not implemented is an important point of inquiry. The 2025 confirmation of electoral votes should not suffer the shadows unjustly cast by the present rhetorical mythology surrounding January 6, 2021.



The Death of Obamaism, and the Historic MAGA Opportunity


In a just world, Donald Trump would have won the Nobel Peace Prize for securing the historic Abraham Accords peace agreements of 2020. So too, in a just world, would A-list Hollywood studios now be bidding for the rights to produce the film adaptation of the single greatest comeback story in American history: Donald Trump, the once and future president.

Trump's electoral landslide this week is one for the history books. His myriad foes illegitimately spied on his 2016 campaign. They fabricated a "Russia collusion" narrative out of whole cloth, then spent years "investigating" it. They impeached him twice. They prosecuted him across four separate jurisdictions, 91 criminal counts in total. They have tried to humiliate him, bankrupt him and incarcerate him. Assassins have tried to kill him -- twice.

They have failed -- repeatedly and catastrophically. Trump has solidified his status as the most consequential American political figure since Ronald Reagan. He has become the first Republican presidential candidate to win the national popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004. He has scrambled America's political coalitions for a generation or more, expanding beyond his white working-class base to reach the full tapestry of modern American life.

And he has done it all despite the impassioned opposition and scorn of ruling elites from sea to shining sea. Never again will Grover Cleveland, that venerable 19th-century "Bourbon Democrat," be the sole answer to the trivia question, "Which president has served two nonconsecutive terms?" We can now add the maestro of Mar-a-Lago to the list. It is a mesmerizing, astonishing tale.

Besides being the single greatest comeback story -- political or otherwise -- in American history, there are at least two other crucial takeaways from Tuesday's romp.

First, it is evident that the 2008 Barack Obama Democratic Party intersectional coalition has died. It is not that the coalition is wounded or endangered; it is that it is dead. Trump made historic inroads with Hispanic voters, Black voters, young voters and other demographic subgroups that have been vital to the Democrats since 2008. Trump won the nation's single most Hispanic county -- 97% Hispanic Starr County, Texas -- by 16%. Queens County, New York, famously one of the most ethnically and racially diverse counties in the country, moved over 20 points toward Trump from his 2020 performance. Overall, Trump won just under half the national Hispanic vote, and he made historic inroads with Black men. Voters under the age of 35, such a core Democratic constituency in the not-so-distant past, are now a swing voting bloc.

Obamaism is dead.

This is a seismic shift in the American political landscape, and it's not clear where Democrats go from here. They can scream "Nazi!" or "fascist!" until their lungs give out, but the reality is that their policies on a host of issues -- from race to gender to immigration to crime to the economy -- have alienated large swaths of modern America. Democrats seem inclined to scapegoat the senile president of the United States -- as if Uncle Joe is somehow to blame for not bowing out of the race weeks, or even months, sooner. This is pure cope. The problem, Democrats, is not that Biden stayed in too long. Nor is the problem, as the insufferable Sunny Hostin laughably suggested on "The View," rampant sexism or misogyny among the American electorate. The problem is that the Democratic Party is no longer a mainstream political organization.

Second, Trump, JD Vance and the broader MAGA movement are now blessed with a unique opportunity. That opportunity, as this column put it in July following Trump's selection of Vance as his running mate, is to "effectuate transformative change in American political life by scrambling arbitrary old political lines and building a durable, generational coalition of the broader center." It is imperative that Trump and -- perhaps even more important -- his soon-to-be allies in Congress understand this. America's cultural and civilizational divide, which was reflected in this election, is less a traditional "Right" versus "Left" ideological split than it is a more prosaic -- but no less stark -- divide between normalcy and sanity, on the one hand, and decadence and freakishness, on the other hand.

Republicans are about to control the White House, the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate. These opportunities are infrequent, and Republicans must take advantage. Each and every day, the presidential and congressional agenda must be oriented toward prioritizing the common man who has been left behind for decades by both parties. Let the Democrats continue to navel-gaze and morally preen about their "virtue." Just enact tangible policies, from the economy to trade to immigration and everything in between, that will better the common man's lot in life.

The opportunity to refashion the Republican Party as America's majority party is ripe for the taking. And what a Hollywood ending that would be.



Kamala Harris Was A Terrible Candidate, And Democrats Need To Be Honest About That

 Kamala Harris was an inauthentic lightweight who couldn’t do the one thing politicians are supposed to be able to do: speak.

So why did Kamala Harris’ campaign fail so badly on Tuesday? Well, the talking points have gone out, and whatever you do, don’t blame Kamala Harris! Naturally, the media has dry-swallowed enough diazepam by now to settle on an alternate explanation for her loss, best exemplified by this USA Today columnist:

Well, alrighty then. Maybe the more polite way to deal with assigning blame is to ask, what, if anything, could have Harris done better?

Well, maybe “flawless” seems like hyperbole, but there’s an emerging consensus:

Hmmm. Surely someone has a more reasonable take on this?

And these are the more polite rationalizations. If I wanted to start documenting the number of people that want to disingenously absolve Kamala Harris’ failure due to racism and/or misogyny, I’d have to hire a team of archivists.

But I think you get the point. Instead of humility in defeat, the Democrat industrial complex has reached North Korean levels of sycophancy, only it’s worse than North Korea where people at least praise their Dear Leader constantly only because they’re physically threatened if they don’t. And it’s incomprehensible when you consider that “sycophant” has been the preferred insult for Trump supporters for closing in on a decade.

Now I don’t believe in sucking up to politicians ever, for any reason, but if that’s your thing at least have the dignity to reserve fealty to politicians who are successful. And Trump has now won two presidential elections — very nearly three, losing in one of the craziest years in American history, where the election rules were all discarded and rewritten on the fly — emerging with an utterly decisive electoral victory and a popular mandate.

However, Kamala isn’t a failure solely because she gave it the old college try and didn’t win. In terms of political skill, she was a spectacularly awful candidate that made Michael Dukakis look like Pericles. Let’s just start with the bare minimum of what one expects: She couldn’t string a sentence together. Her optimal performance was when the algorithm was set to “refrigerator poetry,” as opposed to “forgot to prepare for the oral presentation,” and neither was acceptable. It turns out the candidate whose supposed signature move was interrupting mansplainers by announcing “I’m speaking,” couldn’t actually speak.

To the extent that anyone could make the case she ran a campaign devoid of major mistakes, and let’s be clear she absolutely did not, it’s because her handlers only trusted her to open her mouth to the friendliest of interviewers. Luckily for Democrats, this includes the top echelons of American journalism — there’s a good chance “60 Minutes” is not releasing the full transcript of her notorious interview because they let her redo her initially embarrassing answers.

But even those kinds of accommodations could not save her from herself. She went on “The View,” about as politically onanistic a venue as one can find, and basically ended her campaign. She was asked, “If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?” 

Harris responded, “there is not a thing that comes to mind.” The Trump campaign immediately turned the answer into a very effective ad.

But that was not a one off. Harris was asked a version of this question a few times, and everytime she managed to come up with an entirely new and creative way of answering the question badly. Her inability to conduct a basic interview without verbally pratfalling all over the place has to on some level speak to her general intelligence.

Speaking of pratfalls, I suspect when the truth of what went on in this campaign comes out, the best they can hope for is more comedy than cringe. When Kamala Harris first assumed the vice-presidency, she was so blundering that her tenure at the Naval Observatory was often compared to the fictional comedy “Veep.” The comparison was so too-close-for-comfort that the creator of the show, who’s normally extremely irreverent, took to The New York Times to deny the comparison was apt and suggest Trump tried to manipulate people with his own assassination attempt.

Well, then what the hell would the writers’ room at “Veep” make of this anecdote from Harris’ presidential campaign? The Harris campaign arranged for an interview with a popular and well-known Muslim internet influencer, informed him in advance she would not talk about Gaza, and instead she showed up and did this:

The interview with Harris hadn’t gone as planned.

What happened was a dispute over Harris’s take. Rahma said he had been told that the vice president would be taking a stand against removing one’s shoes on airplanes. When they sat down, however, Harris had surprised him with a different take: “Bacon is a spice.” (Two senior campaign officials said this topic had been raised in advance. Rahma and his manager dispute this.)

Rahma, who doesn’t eat pork for religious reasons, was taken aback. “I don’t know,” he says, in an unpublished video recording of the interview, his voice rising to an unusually high pitch. Harris elaborates that bits of cooked bacon can be used to enhance a meal like any other seasoning. “Think about it, it’s pure flavor,” she says. …

The campaign apologized for the bacon take and proposed a reshoot. But, after publishing the Walz interview, Rahma ultimately decided not to move forward with it.

To recap, she won’t talk to Muslim Americans about a serious issue of real importance to them. But she’s eager to talk to Muslims about … bacon? It’s impossible to parody someone who cannot talk to anyone in such a manner that doesn’t insult their intelligence, when she’s not insulting them outright.

And to the extent the campaign kept her under wraps because of this liability, it’s not like people didn’t notice the contrast between the relative silence and Trump’s lengthy rallies, press conferences, and three-hour podcasts.

Anyway, I don’t honestly care if the Democrat Party wants free advice. But I must at least insist on honesty, and the truth is that Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate. (And, while we’re at it, so was Tim Walz, the thoroughly mendacious spaz who tweets about running “a mean pick 6,” which even if an idiot staffer wrote the tweet, is reasonably emblematic of a supposedly heartland football coach who mandated tampon dispensers boys’ locker rooms.)

She didn’t lose because of racism or misogyny, in fact she was explicitly and undeservedly elevated to vice president because Democrats are in an identity politics cult. It is ridiculous to say she lost in spite of a “flawless” campaign, when influencers, normally desperate to land such a major interview, are spiking interviews with her because they can’t make her not sound offensive and dumb.

She lost because she couldn’t do the one thing politicians are supposed to be able to do well: talk. She lost because she was an inauthentic lightweight that the average Hispanic roofer in Reading, Pennsylvania could tell was a nonviable leader five seconds after she opened her mouth, on the rare occasions her own campaign deigned to let her to speak.

It’s not anymore complicated than that.

Harris Camp Faces Scrutiny Over Spending $1.3B in Three Months, Ending Up In Debt


A few articles for the historic record are in order.  First, this one about the Kamala Harris campaign team taking all of the Biden campaign money, then fundraising for another $1 billion, with a “B”, and now facing $20 million in unpaid debts.

We all know the Harris campaign consisted of over-the-top manipulation to give the illusion of support.  However, the scale of how much money it took to generate that false impression is only just now starting to surface.

As the details surface, Senior Harris advisor and former Campaign Manager for Barack Obama, David Plouffe, now deletes his Twitter account and attempts to hide.

It appears that many of the “Hollywood” actors and music industry “Talent,” as well as their concerts therein, were paid big money for those promotions.  Matthew Boyle is starting to reveal the scale:

Boyle: “Ok so this just got very explosive. A Kamala campaign staffer who saw these posts called me just now and said there is a massive scandal here worthy of an audit.

The $20 million debt thing is real. Rob Flaherty, this staffer said, is currently shopping around the Kamala fundraising email list to anyone who wants it to try to raise the money back. This includes other campaigns and outside groups.

Flaherty is the deputy campaign manager and reports to Jen O’Malley Dillon.

“Jen blew through a billion dollars in a few months, and it was all Jen’s idea to do all the concerts.” — Kamala campaign adviser told me

This source added that O’Malley Dillon did these “concerts,” like Katy Perry, Lizzo, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen et cetera at the expense of “prioritizing and spending money on social media and other campaign priorities.”

Apparently, a group in Georgia had to lay off 100 people because they couldn’t pay them.

It’s unclear at this time if the campaign PAID the talent to perform but the cost of production for the events was “immense.”

What’s more, this Kamala campaign staffer said several people who were working for the Kamala Harris for President campaign are still awaiting several overdue payments they were promised for their work. IE, they didn’t pay the staff.

This Kamala campaign staffer said to me: “People didn’t like working with her. Many people on the campaign felt like we lost because Kamala wasn’t allowed to run her campaign. They were running Joe Biden’s campaign instead of a Kamala campaign. Obnoxious and very much a gate keeper and interfering with the vice president’s people who were trying to do their job.” (link)


Nancy Pelosi Begins Drafting Articles Of Impeachment

 WASHINGTON, D.C. — Early reports from Capitol Hill indicated that President-Elect Donald Trump's upcoming second term was already off to a contentious start, with Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi reportedly drafting articles of impeachment against him for his involvement in the 2024 presidential election.


"He won, and that's against the law," Pelosi said. "And, quite frankly, he's admitted it. He's admitted to winning the election, but no one is above the law."

Though Pelosi no longer serves as Speaker of the House and was unable to cite any specific law or statute Trump had broken by winning the election, she remained determined to follow through on impeaching him again.

"He must be held accountable for this heinous crime," Pelosi continued. "This is an urgent matter. We don't have time to deal with citing actual reasons why he should be impeached. That's not necessary. The important thing is to make sure he gets impeached for... something. We cannot let him be president again because that would be very bad for me, and that's illegal."

At publishing time, Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, thanked Pelosi for her service and assured her he would place the articles of impeachment in a brand-new special filing cabinet that looked suspiciously like a trash can.
