Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

[Pittsburgh Footy]

He's right about the campaign criticisms but wrong when he claims he and the trump voters aren't all the things they've been accused of being.

They are, they just want to pretend they aren't.

They don't see it. And lash out when it's called out

Less than 24 hours.

It's been 48 months and the loser of the last election has yet to concede his loss.

To borrow a line from @davek

"Have they killed anyone yet?"

Oh wait, it went their way this time so all of a sudden we no longer have voter fraud or registration issues calling into question the veracity of the results.....

 

[bluestevon]

I cant get behind him voting Trump, but I think there's more than a grain of truth in this in terms of the Harris campaign exaggerating the nature of Trump.

They completely got that wrong.

Can't argue at all with his points

 

[LinekersLegs]

This morning, I have been urging my happy Trumper friends to temper their urge to gloat and to realize the degree of hurt and disbelief we see from the many people we love who are facing the future with no small degree of fear and loathing. It's time to come to the center. It's time to start to heal.

Remember, he'll never win another election and there is a far greater than trivial chance he will not finish his term.
Offering a compassionate hug to any of my many progressive friends here who will accept it this morning. Let's make the future better together.

Thanks Mezz, we have frequently disagreed on policy but posts like this are why I’ve always liked and respected you.

Feeling pretty bleak myself this morning but hopefully we can find someway to bridge some of the divisions in our country.

No, this time, it'll be about settling scores.

Yes, he looks like a tit to me. But I think the rant was a rage that any Democrat feeling let down by the ridiculous campaign could just as easily have made if you take out the Trump endorsement.

I would agree that he ought to have conceded and he obviously lost the election somewhat fairly, in terms of actual votes at least, although obviously it's been largely proven that big tech - namely Facebook and Twitter - played a vital role in pushing anti-Trump agendas and suppressing positive articles about him. Thankfully Elon Musk has turned X, with its Community Notes, into the go-to place for real news and a large portion of the population now actively distrusts the print and most of the TV news networks. Still, the same media doesn't appear to have learned its lesson.

These forms of media played a downright dirty role in the election, it was essentially Trump against the media and big tech. So I can absolutely empathise with him for feeling like the election was stolen from him - certainly an election run on a level playing field was. I disagree with his claims of electoral ballots appearing out of thin air to defeat him in certain states like Nevada for example.

He should have ultimately backtracked and accepted defeat, and I'll be happy to see Kamala gracefully accept defeat and wish him the best later on today. Maybe she'll also ask for forgiveness for the Nazi threat to democracy and the world slurs and apologise for trying to get him killed.

Dave, i can only applaud your mastery of trolling.

It's like they say, there's levels to this shiz...

The price of feed has gone up due to several factors, notably the volatility of wheat prices and other raw ingredients in large measure due to the war in Ukraine as well as drought conditions here in the United States.

Neither of which is within the control of the POTUS.

By late 2023 global wheat prices had already reached a lower price than early-mid 2021, they had pretty much a one year spike on the markets. The USA also never imported wheat from the Ukraine so zero supply disruption from that to them.

Basically a crisis happens prices across the product directly effected go up greatly, any product associated goes up, and everyone uses it to raise every price just a little, crisis over the prices now go down but to a much higher bsse level.

Whats funny, is the more they have attacked him, the more slurs and allegations they have thrown at him, bogus convictions, impeachments, court cases, etc, the name calling, Nazi, racist, fascist, idiot, etc. The assassination attempts. All they did was hurt themselves and their own chances.

All she and her party did from day 1, was attack and insult him and his supporters. "Well, Donald Trump..." was her answer to every question she was asked.

And now, despite all of the things he has been called and accused of, to a popular majority of people, he was STILL a better choice than Kamala Harris.

Thats how bad she was.

The perfect example of the old adage
"When you point a finger, three point back at you."

It’s wrong to paint this as a personal issue with Kamala tbh. The entire Democratic Party doesn’t get it.

I have no attachment to her at all, but as I said no candidate was winning in this environment with this strategy.

 

[RAFUH]

You need better friends

Some of us need better family

 

[LinekersLegs]

Have to say I am finding a bit of irony in the “X were arrogant and feel they knew it all” posts immediately followed up by “Let me tell you exactly why Harris lost and how Dems need to recover from it”.

I agree he should have conceded quickly.

I'll end this with, again, all out of the control of the POTUS.

Oh that sounds terrible.

How dare an agenda be dictated to people over social media like that...

Ahhh but when his best mate controls the platform and conversation then it's all above board.....


This is the hypocrisy on display constantly.
