RFK Jnr is my biggest worry. Having someone that believes vaccines cause autism leading various health departments is a frightening thought

Big Pharma wins that battle every day of the week. They'll slip Trump a couple million and it'll never be discussed again.

If you find this man endearing, you have shit for brains

Maxxed out at 2.80ish. Majorty of the time it was 2.30ish

Ahh, I thought it was about $4 (not that I pay a lot of attention). I was way off.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Speaks volumes about his opposition but like many elections and referendums of late, the more left leaning team who lose won't have a bar of criticism about it and everyone else is wrong...

It’s called externalising blame.

The weather forecast is good for a Second U.S Civil War! I've said it before - I hope that nation tears itself apart and eats itself alive. No nation deserves that fate more.

Except maybe Israel.

It’s probably applicable to all nations tbh.

There is no way the human race deserves to exist, it would only be just for the world to end.

Unlucky Americans, but the interesting thing will be in 4 years time.

Trump can't run again, so does the MAGA cult choose their own successor, does Trump anoint a next in line, and what do the old school republicans do since their party is now clearly Maga.

As for the Democrats, well they have now ****ed up 2/3 elections. At this point you think they sit down, have a hard look at themselves and... Wait no it'll be more of the same.

I guess they have now shown Americans won't accept a female president so I wonder if we see Walz make a run plus you have guys like Newsom who are constantly talked up for a presidential run.

Huh?

JD Vance will run and Vivek will be Vice

Nothing more certain

Question is, who will run for Democrats? Absolutely zero standouts

Turn out looks really low. People just did not like Harris.

Her entire campaign was terrible.

Being attached to Biden while attempting to distance herself from his failures was always a hard task.

Her stupid laughter, question dodging and rehearsed answers were the icing on the cake.

 

[Plugger35]

Elon Musk should be the new first lady, Trump is in love with him more than Melania.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

wtf is he going on about?

A bit presumptuous to assume there will be an election in four years.

Pretty hard to cry election was stolen when you lose in every

Lies!!!

CNN told me she was one of the most beloved female politicians of all time

CNN may have given that as an opinion yes. So what?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

How many celebrities going to say they are leaving the country now that trump is president

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Trump bringing out his whole entourage tonight, there is barely enough room on the stage for all of them.



Trump doesn't drink, just imagine the wild outrageous stuff he would say if he did.

Is Elon up there?

 

[carlton_99]

Just gets worse

 

[Gethelred]

You were going so well until you descended into a unhinged rant.

I'm curious. Where did the unhinged rant begin for you?

I can argue any part of it, even if I'm on a bit of a time crunch.

 

[Maddo11]

He also followed that up with saying the Democrats believed in post-birth abortions

Oh God the post birth abortion garbage, what a mess

 

[Borough Blood]

Her stupid laughter

There’s plenty of legitimate reasons to criticise her, this isn’t one of them.

 

[H00t]

Yep a hell of a lot of voters don’t vote at all due to feeling disenfranchised by the major parties.

Which leads to outcomes like today when Trump wins.

The most important thing is for Americans to get out there and vote at all levels. If they want people more aligned with their views they have to vote them in at a ground roots level first.

 

[Sydneyfan]

We’ve got four more years of this waffling and rudderless ramblings … FFS America, this really is the best you’ve got?!

 

[Young Redleg]

Pretty hard to cry election was stolen when you lose in every facet of the game in a landslide. No different to AFL. People only cry about umpires when it’s a close game.

Oh come on the last election wasn't even that close. Biden won almost every swing state and got 7 million more votes.

I wouldn't go THAT far. I have personally met many people I would call 'beautiful people'. The uglies just speak louder. They always have.

So many predicted that a Trunp victory will lead to decreased personal rights, increased risk of expansion of global war fronts, a global economic slowdown through insane across the board tariff increases, and now we are just supposed to do a mindfulness session?

Not too sure what that has to do with my comment; someone in here mentioned they could see Americans wanting to kill themselves and not blaming them for doing so. A think of a bit of mindfulness doesn't go astray when one is entering that territory.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

What a great speech and a great man. Beautiful family too.

Can’t wait for him fix America and fix the world. We should all be thankful for this result.

Bro that is not happening, nothing will get fixed, it will be 4 more years of the same american status quo.

The military industrial complex and corporations own america and own both parties.

We have been unburdened by what never was

America has to be the only country in the world where voters do not care about facts. They often ignore facts and easily lap up some BS post on X that comes with no sources. Where they do not care about character as Trump and those close to him are actually dead set pieces of s**t humans, with the way they talk about other people etc.

They don't care about hypocrisy, because for some reason Biden's stutter made him unfit, but Trumps endless word salads about nothing is okay. They don't care about the economy, because it's doing well at the moment and Trump only serves the upper class. He did nothing to help the poor and middle class last time. Why would they think it will be different this time?

They don't care about class, because Trump has endlessly mocked people from the disabled, to race, to military veterans. There was once a time where saying you liked Russia would get you called treasonous or a commie. Now people just join in and group fondle Putin's balls, because Trump and him are pals. They don't care about looking out for their fellow American because if Medicare and social security are cut as is planned, more people are pushed into poverty. Thus it will lead to higher deaths and crime. They don't care about honesty as Trump smashed records for lies told. They don't care about work ethic, as those around him said he didn't bother reading briefings each day and golfed a lot.

There was nothing honest or good about Trump, that almost every single person who worked around him and almost every single former party member have said he is not a good person. Yet despite all that, he still won. Shows Americans just need someone to say a few words that they like, and the rest is irrelevant.

But you know what? I don't even care. If America goes to shit, I will enjoy every minute off it given the damage America has historically placed on other countries over the years. Don't want to hear a single American complain. This is what they voted for, reap what they sow kind of thing. Will see in four years time.
