Niki Haley said many a time that any legislation would not pass the Senate 2/3 majority.
Harris wanted to destroy the filibuster to try and overcome this although breaking the filibuster has consequences on other issue.

I believe breaking the filibuster would not have full support refer to Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema voting to retain the status quo.

Probably your most well written post on the political topic. If you posted like this in the other thread!

Meaning Congress needs to vote on it to make it law.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

Overturning Roe V Wade simply took it out of the hands of the Supreme Court where it was protected and untouchable politically.

Either side could now introduce an national abortion bill if it wanted as it's no longer protected through that Supreme Court precedent.

I don’t know, but I myself hoped that good would win over evil. But I was wrong.
Will watch with fascination how he stops the Ukraine war on day one and then deports 15000,000 immigrants.
Will be quite something to see and to also to watch the US run by Christian Nationalists.

The Democrats are as evil as anyone, it's just doesn't suit your agenda.
 
Two for the conspiracy theorists.

1st for the righties: Possible
With Trump winning in 2016 and now looking to get 300+ votes this time, was there indeed some shonky business in 2020?

I think Trump is only the second guy to come back and win after being turfed out, makes a bit more sense if he was meant to win in 2020.

2nd for the lefties: Busted
Trump in his celebration speech said he's done with rallies (said he's done 900) so no more rallies ie he won't run again.
Lefties were claiming he would go around again despite the two term limit.

Ooops

Sorry I was meant to be replying to 1970Crow's post and I've somehow replied to yours instead.

Sad Shame GIF

This has been debated to death and you couldnt tell me which one wasnt a crime back then so I doubt you can tell me now.

Besides any of this Trump is now officially immune from prosecution. So I dont think he will go after anybody.

Partly correct he can pardon or dismiss the federal cases or get the new Attorney General to dismiss them,
New York I am not sure about to be honest.
 
Biggest laugh I had was when CNN went to their 2 commentators on the big screen and one asked the other bloke in control of the screen how many states was Harris doing better than Biden did last time...obviously he wasn't expecting what showed up on the screen...not a single solitary state, nada, nought, nothing, nil sfa.

Kamala didn’t have enough of those “mail-in ballots”

NY is a state case and he cant act on it other than appeal. I suspect the new DOJ will start looking at the criminal lawfare of some of the NY officials. I also believe that the NY appeals court will throw out the Letitia James case and this is a perfect case for the DOJ to investigate as James ran on an election pledge to get Trump.
 
Bloody Hell, just watching MSNBC - they've just declared Trump the winner.

Wisconsin 99% counted and Trump wins there by 30,000 - mathematically pushes him over 270

The female host just delivered a 10 minute monologue on how the world is going to end, "how will I tell my daughter in the morning"

It was like an episode of the View, the tears were delicious.

Aren't they meant to be a news service??

In their arrogance/corruption the Democrats thought they could throw out any garbage candidate and the power of a deeply brainwashed Left, a biased media and the Hollywood celebrity would get that candidate the win.

Will this disaster force them to move back to the sane centre or will they double down even further.

And that came after telling everyone for four years that the president was “sharp as ever”, when the reality was that he was a complete f*cking vegetable that they finally were not able to cover up.

I've never watched MSNBC before, is it meant to be satire. This cannot be a serious news station, it really can't.

The panel are 'digesting' the result, they started off with poor old Kamala couldn't overcome the economic woes, or the immigration 'issue' - nothing she could do.

So they recognise the economy and immigration were pivotal issues and with her as the VP for the last 4 years didn't reflect well on her very well.

The very next breath after discussing the above they started with was it racism, a woman of colour in a mixed marriage. Now moved onto to sexism blah blah blah.

**** me, they literally talked about why she lost yet they couldn't help themselves to bring race and sex into it.

Nothing to do with race or sex, just competency.

Both sides can't seem to pick a good candidate Hillary, Biden, Harris vs Trump. What an inept lineup.

Their political system is broken, needing to raise $100's of millions to enter the primary race is not the way to get the best candidate.

I think trump was the perfect candidate...a guy thats not part of the system thats a disrupter. And think on this, that he won in a landslide and may well win the popular vote, its a complete repudiation of the entire narrative the democrats manufactured about him.. the people rejected the democrats entirely
