You want to teach your kids that Bullies will get what's coming and doing the right thing is how you get ahead, but then Trump wins.

Just be a brazen, arrogant, ignorant and reprehensible human being. You’ll become president one day.

The greatest political comeback since..well I dont know when.

The Democrats had the funding, the media and the celebrity endorsements. They also also waged unrelenting lawfare against Trump. Hell someone even tried to kill him.

But he won against all the odds.

Incredible

Gotta hand it to him honestly especially at 79 they wont be a campaign run like his again.

His biggest obstacle was making it to election night from the incompetent security around him.

 

[Fire]

The thing is, he genuinely has no real policy for any of this.

It's just talk.

I'LL DEPORT THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. The US relies upon low paid immigrants to function.

I'LL MAKE THE ECONOMY GREAT AGAIN. His tariffs will likely completely **** over the average American.

Yep.

A big lament of mine is seeing the repeated 'Harris didn't have any/had poor policies'. Yeah, she was light, but Trump literally had none. The electorate values feelings, not policy. And that is just depressing to have reinforced.

Could potentially end up 321-217, if the current leads in the remaining states holds up.

That is a thrashing of the highest order. The sad thing is, I don't think we will see a female democratic presidential nominee for atleast another decade if not more.

Twice they have been obliterated by doing that.

 

[peetoo]

This is one of the more patently ludicrous 'takes' we'll see if Harris keeps sinking.

She was never a hope for Gaza. She showed little sign of caring about the fate of Palestinians and even less sign of changing Biden's approach to Israel.

The notion that she was going to turn into a magical princess for Palestine is absurd and based on nothing at all.

Biden has been arming Israel to the teeth. He has been cheering them without serious restraint. The 'death notice' was signed under Biden and Palestinians are dying in their thousands.

The use of lethal drone warfare increased exponentially under Obama

Wisconsin!!!!!

 

[Balls In]

Fox just called it

 

[Hawks1523]

Officially called it.
What a result!

 

[Richmond Flats]

Drink up kings. You deserve this!

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Today America showed that they would prefer a scoundrel over an idiot.

I actually don't have a problem with this logic. Plenty of scoundrels have done great things. Not many idiots though.

Only the scoundrel is far more of an idiot than the idiot.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Wisconsin = 277

 

[Osho]

Male Supremacy will not bode well for women. They will probably soften rape laws now.

I don't think it's fair to blame only the lower than expected women vote for Trump's victory.

In a post-truth world though, you just know his voters are going to follow Fox and blame China/Pelosi/Biden and vote straight R again, even once they inevitably crash the economy.

What did it do under Trump?

Oh wait yeah, he hid the numbers

 

[Tyberious Funk]

Depends on the media trying to ram shit down our throat 24/7 with little snippets of bias BS. Get ready for it. There's gonna be 4 years of pissing and moaning.

Trump has Alzheimer. His father had it and it's pretty clear he's declining himself.

Everything he says and does is going to be scrutinised until he either dies, gets dumped via the 25th Amendment or manages to get to the end of his term. Alternatively, his family will basically do exactly what Trump did to his own father... which is construct a fake office and let him think he was actually going to work. Only this time, it'll won't be an aging property developer living in la-la-land. It'll be the guy with the nuclear codes.

It's going to get ugly.

 

[ClarkeM]

that is not what he said.

go and read it more carefully.

he is using an example of someone taking good news, but not the bad news.

and in any case Bidens administration did cause inflation to go up, that is just a fact. Just like Australis Liberal government did to us. All the stimuluses put in during covid is what fuelled Inflation.

USA stimulus package was signed into law by Biden.

Trump didn't try and pin inflation on Biden?

Na he's not an idiot.
She is actually dumb as a fence post

 

[stallon]

The good guys win

Theres a reason she didnt do any unscripted/uncontrolled appearances

 

[Sixpence]

Gonna be fascinating watching America run by a dictator and Christian Nationalists

One step closer to the handmaid's tale.

Howard?

Oh look, they’re all slithering out of the sewers now. How nauseatingly predictable.

You honestly live in a different world than the rest of us. At least Harris can read beyond a 6th grade level

 

[Bloods86]

At least the dogs and cats of America can sleep easier knowing nobody will try and eat them anymore.

Mic stands are trembling though

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Couldn’t blame any American who kills themself tonight, very much justified

Wow. Please keep yourself safe if that's where your mind goes.
