Current Affairs The Would Be Emperor Has No Clothes (aka POTUS 47)

That's quite the jump

That's what can happen when the departing president accepts the results of an election instead of crying foul play that was never proven and motivating his supporters to siege the capitol buildings to prevent the results from being certified.

Amazing what leadership from an actual adult looks like isn't it.

You’d think that things would click for Trump fans watching that. Will make no difference for the dumb troglodytes though

All's fair in love and war. I don't think they'll send each other Christmas cards like.

Don't think Biden will incite an insurrection either

 

[davek]

I know you keep on saying that but it doesn’t mean that it is true.


Suppose we could argue whether it should have but we now have Marco Rubio as SOS and Huckabee as Israel ambassador so perhaps we should focus on what they are going to do.

But that graphic only deals with those who DID vote.

My point is that the Biden administration forced many who would vote democrat normally to sit this one out...

NYT Times piece today: "In predominantly urban counties nationwide where most votes had been counted, Ms. Harris received two million fewer votes than Mr. Biden had four years earlier. Overall votes in these counties were down by about 1.7 million."

An extra 2 million votes could have won a lot more Senate and House seats and the free hand that Trump has now could have been prevented.

It's called cognitive dissonance and it's what they live in.

Has he put Ronald McDonald in charge of the FDA yet?

Nowhere is the fact that Democrat voters sat out the election being tied to Israel policy Dave.

I'm sure you have a convincing explanation for your claim that "the Biden administration forced many who would vote democrat normally to sit this one out..." And that this was because of Israel policy.

The last statement of your post is completely hypothetical unsubstantiated nonsense also.

Even Mayor McCheese would be overqualified by this cabinet’s standards.

Can’t say for sure about the House, but the Senate part is pretty easily disproven. PA is the only one you could make a case that maybe enough people sat out to swing it to the GOP. The three they flipped weren’t especially close, and they actually won in all the other swing states.

Well I think commentary like this is on the ball:

One thing I’m sure of: Harris offered voters nothing on Gaza, and it mattered in the result | Nesrine Malik

Imagine how isolated in their trauma Arab-American voters must have felt to turn to Trump. But that’s what happened, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

...and why wouldn't 2 million extra votes be of help in drawing the numbers of Senators and Representatives closer to each other?

I'm glad you agree with the commentary but I don't think a single opinion column is convincing me that Israel support was the sole or even principal issue that led to Democrats losing this election or voters not showing up.

promoted the hamburglar instead, more in line with his style.
