Meh. Last time he promised to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it. He won't do anything drastic with tariffs either.
It's not only the WH. GOP swept the WH, senate, upper chamber. It's a red wave really.
As long as Trump gets to keep all the gold, yes.
I'm so fecking pissed. I don't know how to deal with so much stupidity. Feel sorry for the people those degenerates are dragging down with them but the US is beyond repair it seems. Absolutely fecking insane, like a gigantic social experiment. Wonder what will happen going forward. Will there be protests and escalations when Trump pardons himself? Tries to change the constitution, possibly even to get another term? Will there be more assassination attempts? What about climate protests?
Great post. I hate that Bernie didn't win 16, I was heavily on that bandwagon. It's even worse hearing him now. What a different world we'd of lived in.
The Heritage Foundation's dreams will become a reality.
All Trump needs to do to ensure an easy Republican win in the next election is to not do anything stupid. The US economy is in a good place right now, it's growing well, low inflation, high employment - he just needs to not feck it up massively and they have it in the bag next time.
Of course, asking Trump not to do anything monumentally stupid is like asking the Sun to please stop creating helium from hydrogen.
There never were any assassination attempts in my opinion. Call me tin foil hatted, but I do genuinely think they were both completely staged.
Does the above correlate with any reality though or just your imagination?
While Trump isn't going to jail or deport every immigrant obviously, no one is even claiming that so it's a strawman argument. However he has made plenty of inflammatory, anti-immigrant, and flat-out racist comments. “Animals,” “stone cold killers,” the “worst people” who are "eating the dogs" of people.. all off the top of my head.
On the other hand, your literal quote of "let's open the border for everyone and let them all in" is not only nowhere to be found but all I find is the opposite. Biden has been cracking down on asylum seeking migrants and Kamala during her visit to the southern border last month said she will continue making illegal immigration tougher.
"Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning on a pledge to toughen border restrictions as Republicans hammer her over the Biden-Harris administration's record on immigration.
Harris in late September visited the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time as the Democratic presidential nominee and embraced President Biden's recent crackdown on asylum seekers, which produced an almost immediate and dramatic decrease in the number of border crossings. Harris said she would take it even further. "

If anything the Republicans keep voting down Dem-led border bills, just so they can continue hammering them on the subject of immigration. They obviously care more about getting elected than seeing the issue solved. And people like you are falling for it hook, line and sinker.
Nobody knows
But an interesting Trump puncline during the debate was
"If what i did was so bad and you need to be president to fix it, go to DC tomorrow and made it happen. You're the incumbent"
Or something like that
What did Biden do as soon as he got in office?
Will be fun four years to follow.
Project 2025 gutting civil service, Heritage foundation and other loonies loading the lower and higher courts with nobodies like Aileen Cannon, gerry-mandered maps, dimnishing the reach of agencies like FDA, FCC, environment un-friendly policies, Vaccine skeptic in charge of medicine, Musk becoming even more of an edgelord, World cup in the US of A.

And the GOP will be delighted that they can impose hard conservative value-laws in key states to ensure that they don't lose support because of demographic changes. Democrats dropped the ball big time and the GOP must be delighted Trump came a long - he can get away with virtually anything.
climate change research and policy outlawed, vaccine production and new health discoveries abandoned for quack medicine, civil servants treated as political appointments so there is no executive branch of government....on and on we can go.
Always find it funny when gender, race, age being used as shield to deflect their own heavy failures, same goes in gaming, cinema industry and then on top calling people on other side morons while thinking you have 200IQ for voting for your side.
You can describe Trump winning in so many ways but when you lose against such muppet, you have to check your own yard first as a reason why, instead of using shield or blaming minorities

Selfishly, I hope he was all talk in relation to US tech/pharma companies in Ireland, or we're back to farming potatoes.
It is absolutely inexcusable to vote for Trump. Voters have responsibility as well, they are voters not customers.
So the Republicans/Trump control the Senate, House, Supreme Court and the Veto. Well done lads.
70M+ Americans just did. That's not an accident or a protest vote, they want what he is selling.
Yep. It will be interesting to see more data over the next few days but life is shite for the average American.
With Trump not running in the next election, Trump doesn't need to worry about it. He doesn't care about the Republican Party, it's just a vehicle towards power which he has used and achieved successfully twice
The verdict and all happened under Dem. His shenagigans happens before Biden, they did nothing rather than token charges and indictment which by the looks of it are going nowhere. What do you expect when he actually holds presidency
And let's not forget he won convincingly, including the popular vote. People support him and dont fancy him doing jail time
Maybe. But Dems have been saying that for 8 years and it has achieved very little.
The most consequential aspect of this result is the Supreme Court. We will likely see Thomas and Alito step down in the Trump term and their replacement will be there for 2-3 decades.
Dunno but the more such stance is pushed, somehow fecker still gets votes and thats an issue
Well, everything's properly fecked.
Trump is a rural turnout machine, and in a normal election year I think he's pretty much unbeatable. The Dems got fortunate in 2020 with covid keeping so many older republicans from coming out to vote.
I think the world is pretty much fecked now that he can do whatever he wants the next four years.

If I am honest this did make me think should Sotomayor go ahead and bow out tomorrow and Schumer get a lame duck quick young justice in for her now. Shady but GOP do it. Obviously wont matter for the balance but what can you do.
Are you referring to the freezing of the work on the border wall?
Time for Simon to pucker up.
I expect Sotomayor is more interested in finishing her own term shall we say “organically” than doing Dems any sort of favour like that. The fallout is something she will literally never have to deal with.
It was way too late in the game for that. Dems needed to unite behind a candidate as quick as possible.
To be honest they quite obviously should have ran a mini primary and not just put Harris in, but I think they were losing anyway either way, even with Biden staying
Harris to me seems like the fall person whilst Dems regroup
From the outside looking in, it seems there's to much focus on trying to damage trump rather than promote what the Dems are good at.
For the limited knowledge I have of US politics i wouldn't have voted foe either, I would spoil my vote. Both terrible candidates.
I also think the media in America is so bias, it's hard to get any balance in the reporting of the election.
Vance, Elon, RFK Jr, Rogan, Viktor Orban, the late great Hannibal Lecter. Ministry of all the talents.
So who's going to be the scapegoat for the Trump administration when reality sets in that things aren't in fact going to get better for ordinary folk? Mexicans? Haitians? Women? Palestinians?
I know that is obviously the case it was a case of clearly the rules and decorum dont matter what can get quickly done
Another aspect thats weird is need for endorsement from celebs, aint their influence after everything like all time low, some could say even having negative impact
Because people wish they were rich and hearing a rich guy banging on about the stock market sells the idea that they can get rich.
The reality and the perception couldn't be further apart but people are delusional dreamers rather than grounded in what is real.
