American politics - sleepy Trump edition

[Easy-X]

There was a meme going about where the commentators (probably CNN) asked their fancy video wall if there were any areas where Harris outperformed Biden's 2020 results. "Let see..." Not a sausage! Turns out it was a fault with the tech. She actually did do better in a handful of counties (the US has >3,000)

Now people are looking at the stats for 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020 & 2024. Setting aside 2020, the Democrat votes are roughly the same magnitude over the years - a solid "Vote Blue no matter who" core - versus the Republican vote which tends to be "did people turn out to vote?" As I've said before, 2020 is a statistical anomaly and it seems like 10~20 million votes came out of nowhere

The Red Interwebs are still very bitter about this. Let it go, bro, let it go

Harris got hit so hard by the red wave that FEMA sent her 750 dollars.

OMFG. The best of reporting here............

With Trump’s win, some women wonder: Will the US ever see a female president?

OK, fair comment until you read on......

“I am just aghast,” said Precious Brady-Davis, a Black transgender woman.

Do not make me laugh. Of the what, 150 million women in America they ask a black bloke in a dress. Wokism at it's worst.

The democrat-supporting late night show hosts were actually 'crying' when opening their shows! Kimmel and Colbert were especially funny - and incredibly condescending towards Trump voters.

So what's his priority list? I bet the full presidential pardon for himself is already written out and at the top of the "To sign on the 20th of January." pile.

Priority No.1 is mandate women dress in red outfits...

More imprtantly where's Val. I want to point and laugh uproariously at him.

Remember this Val? https://i.imgur.com/LBOfpAt.jpg

and this? https://i.imgur.com/VpyBH5x.jpg

Time has not been kind to Val.

George & co. are taking a moment to reassess their strategy. Expect to see Val reappear around January ahead of the inauguration on the 20th.

Sounds like few of you are bothered about the implications of a trade war?

I bet Putin's have a good old giggle at the prospect of Ukraine having it's US crutch being pulled away while the rest of Europe (geographically speaking, so that includes the UK) gets a 20% wallop on the armaments it loves to buy from the Yanks. You lot can't even keep a few scabby boat people out what happens when the North Korean horde fancies stopping by for a cream tea?

I'm actually struggling with the realisation that I'm not nearly as freaked out about Trump getting back in as I thought I would be. This must be some sort of Boomer chain reaction

I totally understand the hand-wringing on the "women's bodies" thing. But it all seems very far away from my current life as none of that procreational stuff matters to me any more, plus its Over There.

So I think I'll just keep my mouth shut and mind my business, see what happens. Perhaps we will all be living in Interesting Times.

On the plus side, unless he manages to change the 22nd ammendment (which is very unlikely), he's out of everybodys lives in January 2029.

I'd imagine it'll then be a change of party because he'll have sacked anybody in his own party who shows a barest hint of competence by then in case they make him look bad.

I almost wish he'd just won a second term last time, then he wouldn't still be about smelling the place up.

Ste seems to be a fan but Barron has been giving off Paul Atreides vibes lately
