I just can't get this grin off my face m8. Having Elon and Vance on board as well, it's tremendous.

Have made a list of Trump’s promises:

• no more income taxes for anyone
• permanent peace in the Middle East
• $1 gasoline that in no way will affect energy industry workers or anyone’s retirement accounts
• crime ends Jan 21
• no more doctors and medicines making us sick
• national debt paid off
• full self driving
• never another Laken Riley event
• no more shoplifting
• mass deportations will carefully and respectfully locate only serial killers

You’ll hold him to this, right Trump supporters?

And next we’ll revisit Dan Andrews in Vic. Housing, the SEC coming back etc etc. Could be a real fun game.

Stay away from twitter / X folks. The super MAGAS are out in force with absolutely shocking posts. Mocking and gloating every Democrat associated person. From telling them to go kill themselves, saying they should be executed, swearing in an extremely aggressive manner, calling black people the N word. One even commented on a young male Democrat (19ish?), telling him that he hope he gets r*ped you sissy f*gg*t. Is this what Musk meant by free speech? Stay classless folks. This is why I have always detested cooker level far right types.

You're new to the internet, I see. Welcome.

Off topic but geez how tall is his kid , looks like a giant up there next to everyone else

On the Joe Rogan podcast, Trump said Baron was 6ft 9.

 

[Strange Cat]

America will get what they deserve over the next few years …it just a pity that it won’t only affect them globally

Feeling really depressed at the thought of a recession and a growing Russian empire and what China may do now

****

 

[sandeano]

Yes, there actually are people in this very thread who think so and blamed progressive voters for being turned off by that.

Had I been in the position to vote I may have been one of them (not voting for Trump, but not voting at all).

 

[Gethelred]

Democrats literally did that..... Twice

Did what?

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

I'm very supportive of Trumps climate change position. Extremely supportive.

Enjoy the bushfires.

Not new, just saying its gone up a level tonight.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Is Malania’s “personal trainer” tall?

Haha Baron is the spitting image of Trump. This isn't Trudeux were talking about.

 

[Rotayjay]

Where to from here? The Democrats will need to put up someone against whoever the GOP nominates for 2028 - looking like Vance, all things being equal. Gavin Newsom? Josh Shapiro?

 

[pjcrows]

Why the hell would you want a populist? They blame educated people and make decisions based off intuition. A sure fire winner for improving peoples lives. Attack those who have gained knowledge.

I dunno. Maybe to win elections and legislate policies?

 

[Demons09]

Adam Bandt already calling for the end of AUKUS.

Who cares what that peanut thinks oh wait a minute I’m surrounded by his constituents.

 

[Rotayjay]

Will that crazy **** Elon Musk do a Trump and move from business to presidential candidacy?

 

[JB1975]

The election campaign left us with so many wonderful moments.

The speech of Bill Clinton in Michigan from nearly a week ago was memorable. In a state where the vote of American Muslims was always going to be a bit of a thing, Bill decided to tell everyone that Palestinians have no legitimate claim to statehood and that Hamas should be blamed for all the innocent deaths over the past year.

Really nailed the content and tone, did Bill, charismatic and charming bloke that he is. Thanks Bill.

There won’t be future elections to worry about

Cue the idiot laugh reacting my post. I mean if you find that kind of stuff funny.

no you have it all wrong, they are democrat supporters trying to make MAGA look bad...

 

[stefcep]

When do the bleach injections start?

Trump never said that.

 

[Young Redleg]

Yes. Like Al Gore in 2000, Hillary in 2016, and Abrams in 2018.

The democrats invented calling elections illegitimate.

The difference is that all these people conceded. It literally took an actual riot for Trump to accept a transfer of power.

There were a few counties in which middle eastern voters voted Stein ahead of Harris, leading to a split in the vote. Not in nationally significant numbers though.

She got 33 perc in a Michigan county as a protest vote to dems

 

[lizard man]

Not sure how many people know who Allan lichtman is but I feel bad for him because his 13 key system failed him today

 

[Rotayjay]

I still fail to see why putting Trump in the White House is a good idea for a pro-Palestinian American.

 

[captain blood 17]

Naivety?

He’s not gonna change laws and extend his term. Thinking or talking a nonsense like that is as you say “naivety”.

 

[Osho]

Nah made no difference

People don't vote for a photo

All it did is change the rhetoric for a few days

Nah, it was a key moment for lots of folk who were reinvigorated by it. That left media barely touched it, and quickly downplayed and forgot about it, was a form of denial.
