The inflation will be yuge!
Well, you know what they say…a politician never keeps his promises.
The one time Trump actually IS telling the truth is an odd time to bring out that particular saying…
Of course his idiot dumbshit supporters all assume they won’t be the ones suffering, it’ll just be everyone else, and that makes it okay to them.
don’t be silly, of course the leopards will only eat other people’s faces.

They don’t understand that rooting for them, doesn’t make them part of the team.
They don’t understand that Donald Trump loathes them
If Kamala wins, her Dept. of Education should really make a push to make sure that we are teaching fascism and WW2 in schools so people can recognize this shit and stop falling for it.
Every single church that made a political endorsement needs to be stripped of its tax exempt status. And audited by the IRS.
Domestic terrorism is being fomented at the ground level in “religious centers,” and we’ve gotta start calling things what they are.
Just frame it as “Muslim” and the right will get it done for you. They do love voting against their own interests.
As a German, I have to sadly tell you that that’s not enough.
It’s important to teach media literacy and critical thinking too.
Yeah, the red states already hamstring k-12 to the point they can’t function.
Feds never should have let that happen.
I thought critical thinking was communism?
Which makes a solid case for communism.
They’ll just be told to blame everyone else for their suffering, just like they have been for decades now. It’s all going to be heaped on the same old tired bogeymen: illegals, libs, the nebulous educated elite, etc.
“The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.”
It is far more than okay with them when the right people are suffering hardships. They would elect the most overtly corrupt person to ever exist and destroy the country just to make sure the right people get hurt.
They just did elect that person
I’ll pass.
This is the first time a politician is honest about something.
But it’s for the absolutely wrong reasons.
This is just blatantly saying “HEY! I’M GOING TO BE ABSOLUTE SHIT TO YOU ALL! AND IT’S GOING TO BE ROUGH! AND IT’S GOING TO BE NASTY! BLOODY!”
Like okay okay, we have had months leading up to this to know. We don’t need you to remind us yet again about how you’ll do things.
Its almost as though he just doesn’t care about anyone but himself.
Can you imagine not seeing that? Like literally the first time you see/hear him speak?
I just don’t… I can’t…
This monster has to go. Not only should he lose but he should never be allowed in this country again.
He doesn’t deserve to live. The penalty for sedition and treason is death.
One of the side effects of the past 8 years or so, that I really do not like, is that this piece of absolute garbage has made me earnestly wish for someone else to die. I don’t want to be that person, but here we are…
he should never be allowed in this country again.
I’d appreciate not dumping your garbage on somebody else’s doorstep, thank you very much.
Into space is fine then, right?
Somewhere up in high orbit sounds fine. In space nobody can hear you scream, not even Trump.
Send him and Elon on a one-way trip to Mars.
You guys can keep him. Just put him in an orange jumpsuit and throw him into one of your egregiously inhumane jails.
Oh, but our worst jails are outside America.
He should have been convicted at the second impeachment trial, but McConnell made up another rule that never existed before.
We should bring back exile just for him. Send him to Antarctica or some shit.
Russia, since he loves Putin so much.
Says the war dodging, low IQ (the true low IQ individual), balding denier, sexual assaulting, multi-time felon.
Trump is like 1985’s alternate timeline Biff Tannen only worse because he’s real.
We ARE aware that alternate timeline Biff WAS Trump right?
Marty needs to fix this!
Plenty of them already died, by eating horsepaste during a respiratory virus pandemic. The survivors didn’t care.
Speaking of which, WTF happened to that effect on the vote?
Alabama went from +28 Trump to +25 or something.
Leopards Eating Faces party straight up tells voters that they’re going to eat their faces… and they still vote for them.
Not many, for people of color
And women, and poor people, and journalists
And anyone who hurts his feelings, and queer people, and college students, of course.
masochists eat it up
No, thanks. This is just morons doing what they do 😮💨
And his supporters will still vote him. Even Elon has been saying that if Trump wins, there will be a “temporary” financial crisis. The thing is, “temporary” can mean months or years depending on your scale. But we know financial crises don’t last for a week or two.
Hopefully, he strokes out before the EC casts their votes in December. If that happens, we can end up with a Harris/Vance administration.
My understanding is that Vance would become president-elect and a new vice president-elect would be appointed.
Yeah, I was a little off on the timeline… If he strokes out after the EC casts their votes, but before they are counted in the House, then Vance will be properly elected to the vice presidency, but the House is required to immediately vote on the Presidency. They only get to select from the top three EC vote winners. With Harris being the only candidate to win any EC votes for president, the House is constitutionally required to elect her. Harris/Vance.
If I were a Republican, I’d table-flip that outcome, but theoretically…
he means that Trump and his billionaire friends (including Elon) will make lots of money while common folks suffer but that is all worth it because they will make M’uricah great again
Again.
I wonder how long it will be until the Trump vs Musk power struggle. My guess is early summer.
And this fucker is about to win… I can’t believe this… And my state denied women abortion rights.
I hope every woman that voted for this is raped and for ed to carry that baby.
And Rick Scott, the leader of the largest Medicare fraud, is re elected again.
My state is filled with idiots who won’t even vote for their own best interests
Florida confuses the shit out of me. How did it become this way? And so quickly! With the major metros I don’t understand how it’s so red! Even Texas races are getting closer and closer, and I think it’s because of the major cities.
Florida in the last 20-30 years has been a representative sample of retiree vote in the country. The boomers and Gen X that retiring now to Florida are just not progressively minded. The people that moved to Florida during the pandemic were also very hostile to blue state politics which is why they moved to Florida, which was perceived as a red state during that time period. Now we’re just living in that reality after all the dust has settled.
During the last few years and specifically during 2020 covid the majority of people moving out of my blue state went to Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, or Texas. Everyone that I knew of that leaned that way basically moved to a swing state.
57 percent voted for reproductive choice. But the measure required 60% supermajority.
And to make things worse - abortion being its own separate item on the ballot may have been what cost us Florida, since pro-choice voters who leaned right could vote both ways.
Have to agree, FL is looking more and more like a lost cause. The upside is after drill baby drill does into effect, it will speed up the timeline of the Florida Isles becoming a thing. Might want to invest in boat stocks, its gonna be waterworld down there, sans Kevin Costner.
Trump will do a great job. The SCOTUS gave him full immunity, so what can go wrong?
Biden could do an official act. A couple of official acts, even.
It would take more than a couple. Trump is terrible on his own, but he isn’t the sole problem, he’s largely just a symptom of the bigger problem.
I’m so divided on this. I would love to see him do anything to mitigate the damage. But I fear that almost anything could tip us into a rural versus urban civil war. I beg all leftists to procure a gun(s), learn gun safety, and learn how to shoot.
Preferably in the next month because I wouldn’t be surprised if sales are restricted.
All I’m going to say on that, is this:
What guns you do have…. Lock them up securely. (Ideally, behind 3 locks- the room, a gun safe, and an individual cable or trigger lock.)
We don’t need more headlines like “five yo shoots family”.
Excellent advice. We do not have children or ever have them in our home so we do not go to these lengths.
It isn’t just about kids. For one thing firearms are expensive and valuable, and increases your risks of being broken into. (Most thieves, though, will only target easy victims.)
The other thing is each lock is one more conscious choice with firearms. It’s not much, but it does provide a decision-point where you can choose something else when you find yourself in a mental health crisis.
And for home defense…. It’s almost certain if it changes outcomes… it’ll be hurting you, if it’s stored open. (Now if you carry in your home, that’s different, but also… well we won’t get into that.)
It’s a good point and we do have trigger locks. I don’t want to ever have to hurt someone but especially after yesterday I’m not taking any chances.
Honestly, if Trump wins I hope America burns. We all deserve it, some more than others, if he wins.
Seriously, here in Australia, a win is a legitimate reason to take yanks in as political refugees (especially women)
Nah let’s build a wall.
As an American trans woman, at this point I think I could handle my arachnophobia enough to flee to Australia
Visited Sydney and Trinity Beach in June with my family, and it was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. I wish we could have seen more, let alone move there! So clean, people cared about the environment, lovely people everywhere.
❤️ Australia!
NYT forecast is 90% Trump now. It’s crazy that anyone would vote for him, really shows that policy plays no part in politics. It’ll be interesting to see how he tears down the judicial system to remove the many charges against him.
Pff policy aside, the guy is a man-child and somehow that appeals to people
Because they are adult children too
That alone can’t be it, I’m a man-child and I’d never vote for him if I had a say in this election.
It’s the fact that he promises easy solutions to everything. What are the solutions? Well that doesn’t matter, he promised he’ll deal with all the problems, that’s enough.
It means they aren’t serious people. The Trump administration wrecked up the country with their shitty dangerous response to covid and their conservative base spent the entire time complaining and attacking healthcare workers.
Serious people propose ways to address problems and work based off of facts. Conservatives are off on witch hunts and high on identity politics.
This election was a referendum on the neo-liberal order and it lost. Trump represents populist nationalism, if the transactional nature of his first term is any indicator he’s gonna sell off as much as he can to the highest bidders.
TLDR: A bunch of angry working class folks just handed the country to the billionaire oligarchs, possibly under some delusion the wealthy won’t keep robbing them blind.
It’s the fear and blame, they now know white people can go back to having all the privilege, and brown people can be rounded up and infinity detained or exiled, imprisoned, enslaved, over policed, under served. Because they know any black having a job, means they got the job by being black and they stole it from a actually qualified white.
Yup. American democracy is going to be dead after this election.
How alive is it when the ‘democratic’ candidate was anointed instead of voted for through a democratic process? I’m not a Trump fan at all but at least he was chosen by the people.
Deligates DID elect her, and they did so because the party members they represent wanted her to take over, there was 5+ internal polls sent to registered democrats, this didn’t SUDDENLY happen, it was weeks of polling and campaigning. A party doesn’t need to have a public primary to select a candidate.
It’s been in hospice since 2000.
What was Harris’ big policy goal? What is she the champion of? Tax rebates? Policy does move people but Harris offered no vision.
What a shitty attitude
What a shitty American voting public.
