Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

No I don't really think that less than 24 hours is abhorrent, regardless of the other side. If Trump was magnanimous 24 hours last time I wouldn't have called him out for it

Wasn't it done in 12? hours?

Rape is funny apparently.

Nope

A nation can be one or the other, a democracy or an imperialist, but it can't be both. If it sticks to imperialism, it will, like the old Roman Republic, on which so much of our system was modeled, lose its democracy to a domestic dictatorship.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Nope

Rape apologist.

I’m just struggling today to see where the country even goes from here. The two sides are just far apart that it’s hard to see where political common ground can be found between the two. The choice was between a self-described sex predator felon and a black woman, and more than half the country chose the former.

He’ll appoint at least 2 more justices to the court, which essentially guarantees that abortion rights are gone for the rest of my life, and I’m only 40. Hard to imagine gay (and possibly interracial) marriage, or birth control surviving. God have mercy on any trans people here.

He’s already been granted full immunity by the courts, so he’s free to do as he pleases. I sincerely hope he doesn’t make good on his threats to use the military to stamp out dissent, but I’m not counting on it. He’s one of the most vindictive people to ever walk the planet.

He’s got both chambers of Congress for at least two years before there’s even the tiniest glimmer of hope. The Democrats are a mess, but if people are actually voting just with their wallets and think they’re hurting now, they’re REALLY going to be hurting once his tariffs kick in and the cost of everything doubles overnight. They’ll be pining for the days of 5% inflation. So maybe there’s some ground to be gained in the 2026 midterms. RFKjr is an idiot, but even once be bans vaccines, four years hopefully won’t be enough time to fully undo a century of public health. I honestly don’t know. Maybe Trump fully running the ship aground will break the fever. Or maybe it won’t.

Been already stated by a few CEOs and politicians:

“If we get tariffs, we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer,” Philip Daniele, CEO of AutoZone, said on a company earnings call, according to The Washington Post. “We’ll generally raise prices ahead of—we know what the tariffs will be—we generally raise prices ahead of that.”

“We’re set to raise prices,” Timothy Boyle, chief executive of Columbia Sportswear, told The Washington Post. “We’re buying stuff today for delivery next fall. So we’re just going to deal with it and we’ll just raise the prices. … It’s going to be very, very difficult to keep products affordable for Americans.”

“I’m not a fan of tariffs, they raise prices for American consumers. I’m more of a free trade kind of Republican that remembers how many jobs are created by the exports that we engage in,” McConnell said in September.

If Trump wins, get ready to pay more for everything

Economists , Democrats, and even Republicans have been warning that former President Donald Trump's plan to impose hefty tariffs on all imported goods if he's elected to office ...

Do tariffs aid isolationism?
The hot potato of unskilled labour happy to have work, any work, and have the hybrid of skilled labour and the underclass all paying tax at the same time in the same system?

Rape apologist.

Listen mate, for me to be a rape apologist, id 1st have believe he was guilty of rape, and then id have to defend him for it.

None of those things are true.

I wouldn't believe E. Jean Carol if she told me the week was 7 days long. She's almost as unreliable as Tim Walz, and that's saying something.

Anyway, elections over now, so go and crawl back in your little Troll hole and take your rape obsession and middle finger with you.

 

[PKwalnuts]

Owning the libs doesn't appear to the high some thought it would be

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Yikes.

 

[Toffeepot]

He’s hasn’t been there for decades

Makes sense. His would be a very unpopular attitude in Cork

 

[verreauxi]

Yikes.

Some people here aren't worth engaging.

I don't support Islamic terrorists and neither does Trump for that matter.

you do support Ethnic cleansing though, so you're basically scum. Equating yourself with Trump only reinforces that.
