Why do they hate their own country and fellow Americans so much when they've lived the most privileged of lives there?
Broken people that shouldn't be anywhere near power

 

[Toffeepot]

Are you babies really gonna cry about Trump for the next four years?

We're getting ours out of the way early so we can watch with clear eyes and clear conscience when you MAGAs realise you've punched yourselves and your MAGA neighbours in the balls and called it owning the libs

Honestly, it will be a huge kick in the teeth to the electorate that got Trump into the White House if he goes ahead and appoints a warhawk like Rubio as a secretary of state. I will be very disappointed.

He doesn't give a rats a$$ what disappoints you
Never has, never will

 

[Toffeepot]

I think it is more a case of people in general having valid concerns about him, as opposed to some angry left cohort. The proof will be in the pudding, maybe he will surprise everyone and do good things, or maybe he will be deceptive and do whatever cements his control and inflates his bank balance. Time will tell but I think it is reasonable for people to have concerns given the evidence so far.

8 years of it

So I brought this up in the election thread shortly before it was closed, but thought it was worth revisiting.



It feels like "We're gonna build the wall and Mexico is gonna pay for it" Mk.II

A lot of Trumps election policies feel like good soundbites with little substance.
The border wall for instance, they never got Mexico to pay for it and once they realised A) how incredibly expensive it was and B) that it isn't very effective at keeping people out, the work on it slowed.

The logistics for the mass deportation plan has even more pitfalls. Using the Conservatives failed plan at flying immigrants out to Rwanda as a guide, the issues are that you have to have an agreed destination to send people to. You can't just land a plane full of immigrants at a Mexican airport and expect them to take them in. There needs to be a pre-agreed deal. One that will usually involve lots of money and some sort of other concessions.

There's also the legal and moral aspect to mass deportations, which is why a lot of people here baulked at the Rwanda plan.

I imagine there'll be a few flights to some pre-agreed country, they'll realise it's costing an ungodly amount of money for not much of an impact and then let the plan fade off into the night just like the border wall.

Ideally, if you want to better regulate the southern border, better funding, manpower and resources to the border force working there along with a better planned and funded cooperative effort with Mexico to police their side of the border and crack down on the cartel smuggling gangs would likely be more effective.

I can also envisage Biden's border security bill making a reappearance under a different name with the GOP taking credit for it.

Presumably they will deport them to their country of origin, meaning they are not setting up another asylum scenario.
Rwanda was halted by the Supreme Court if I recall, US SC are what we know they are now
The US can get a lot of countries to do what they want
Biden's Border Bill was actually written by Senator Langford (A republican) with bipartisan agreement, but Trump will definitely take credit for it. The fact he blocked it and blatantly campaigned on the issue tells you all you need to know about how idiotic MAGA are, and even the non MAGAs who voted for him. There are many people in less fortunate countries that would look at them and think they don't deserve a democracy when they don't even know what they are voting for half the time

Yes?

Any person should be worried that someone found to have committed SA (and even boasted about it) can still get elected. You’d think guys who support him don’t have mothers/ sisters/ daughters/ wives.

He also tried to overthrow the government, in case anyone has forgotten this.

Clinton ?…….

Ok it’s been a few days since that happened and maybe I’ve forgotten but was that abuse? Seemed consensual and inappropriate but neither assault nor abuse.

Your imaginary wife is cheating on you.

It is a little odd, that with the overarching message being about your everyday american voter being significantly poorer that somehow trumps base were able to stump up the cash for naff branded bibles, playing cards, really crud looking hi-tops, and whatever other loads of old knock off chite*.

america is poor, buy my truth social and truth-coin and all the rest of it and I'll make you wealthier. Manic tv evangelism and its associated empty promises crossed with the nastiness and hatred of the third reich. The worst of both types.

Goes towards funding his campaign i guess, as opposed to raising over a billion and giving it straight to a bunch of multi millionaires/billionaires for trite and "chite" phony endorsements that did nothing to move the needle.

It's ok, she spent over a billion and ended up in debt in just 3 months during a horrendously run campaign, but her "opportunity economy" was gonna be the bestest policy ever.

The maddest bit is she seemingly didn't know who to spend it on, then someone handed her a list of people who attended Diddy's democrat freak off parties and she just threw money at all of them.

If only Mr Combs didnt get arrested when he did, he could've done a concert for her as well.

Guessing he meant Paula Jones, although still not the same

Have any of his fans owned up to their embarassing early celebrations over this massive popular vote win of 2%?

What happened to these massive margins you were all bragging about last week?

 

[Efcjake]

No one in here ‘supports’ him, but going batshit crazy about him being elected by a majority of Americans doesn’t really help…….

Who has gone "batshit crazy" and how Pete? You're not exaggerating here are you?

Can't see this ending well, but maybe better having him working Defense than HHS?

But I want to know this, does he own a bidet?
