But when for months all people could call you was "moron", "idiot", "low iq" for having a different opinion and for takes that turned out to be correct, it feels good rubbing it in a little. What's that saying again? Don't dish it if you can't take it. Give the "MAGAts" 24 hours to celebrate
Going to leave this here for future reference: Inflation Rate 2.4% Consumer Price Index (CPI) 315.301 2015 - 0.7% 2016 - 2.1% 2019 - 2.3% 2021 - 7% 2024 - 2.4% so far. Hopefully trump can bring it back down to 0.7% by the time he is done with his 2nd term.
So, who do you guys think will fill Trump's cabinet? I know RFK for sure will be the health guy. What is Elon going to do? Vivek I'm sure will be doing something. Same for Tulsi. What are y'alls predictions?

Karla Adam As after every election, some Americans unhappy with the results are toying with thoughts about moving abroad. Google searches for “easiest countries to move to from the USA” and “can I move to Canada if Trump wins?” have spiked in the United States in the past 24 hours. Europeans are also wondering whether they might attract disgruntled Americans. The Local Denmark, an English-language news website, published a checklist on residency rules for Americans thinking of relocating to the Nordic country. Moving to Denmark is easy for citizens of European Union countries, who can live and work in other E.U. states. But American citizens would need to apply for a permit on the basis of special qualifications or for jobs where there is a shortage of workers. The majority of Europeans would have preferred a Kamala Harris presidency, according to aggregated public opinion polling, but that is especially true in Denmark, where polls found that 4 percent of people said they would vote for Trump over Harris, if given the choice.
The circumstances of this election put Kamala squarely in the middle of a common issue people have (almost always wrongly) with diversity initiatives - that women, people of color and other protected classes aren’t earning their higher status but are being placed their artificially via affirmative action, DEI and similar mechanisms. This belief is especially prominent in non-college-graduate, working-class men - I suspect partly because there are significantly fewer women working blue collar jobs and way way fewer women bosses in blue collar professions. In this case, Kamala didn’t win a primary to get this nomination - she got it because she was VP and the realities of campaign funding meant only she could get the Biden campaign funds. The alternative was to run a quick and likely messy primary and then rebuild the campaign war chest in very short order. While that may have been better in some ways, it was sure to be a logistical nightmare. As a result, Kamala didn’t “earn” this nomination like any of her recent predecessors, which made the DEI accusations about her have a lot more traction than they did for either Obama or Hillary. But while I think this issue is significant, it ultimately came down to inflation - the Biden administration did an absolutely terrible job at selling what it had done to improve people’s lives and how it was working. As is so often the case with the Democrats, they respond to the GOP’s framing of the issues rather than attempting to frame the issues themselves. That’s a losing strategy in all aspects of life but especially in politics. Going forward, the Democrats have to prioritize effective communication in their leaders - their sense of the issues and their ideas for addressing said issues are more nuanced and complex than the GOP. Every candidate needs to be able to succinctly articulate where they stand and what they want to do, and in a way that feels more like a conversation with the American people vs a lecture. Bill Clinton was the master at this and Obama was ok at it (though he brought a charisma that greatly enhanced his sometimes academic style). Neither Hillary nor Kamala were effective communicators, though for very different reasons. Hillary was often awkward and too wonky, often resembling the girl who sat up front in class and raised her hand for every questions (an archetype that is viscerally upsetting to the strong anti-intellectual streak in America). Kamala was too much like a lawyer politician - vague, indirect and often nonresponsive to the questions being asked (with an notable exception being her takes on abortion). Being women, they were both held to a higher standard than Trump when it came to communicating policy, but that has been and will continue to be the reality and it can only be overcome by being articulate. Regardless, I’m deeply disappointed with my fellow citizens who apparently forgot that a lying conman and seditionist inherited prosperity from his predecessor and then destroyed it. As I said in 2016, I’m not worried about the “end of America” so much as I’m frightened for those who will be casualties of America’s temporary (I hope) turn toward reactionary and destructive leadership.
My dude, the "Trump is an outsider!" ship sailed a long, long time ago. You saw what happened in 2016. Same old swamp creatures. Same old business as usual. I don't see how that fan fiction holds any water with you given the results we've seen.
No more of that ****. I think we won't be hearing that Zelensky name for a while once he's been put in his place and told to stop ****ing around.
Total EC votes for Trump will be 319. Outstanding states are NV, AZ, WI, MI which they will call by the end of the day for Trump. Trump made a clean sweeping of all the swing states just like I predicted. Trump also got the popular votes. Hey woke clowns, is this a big enough ass kicking for y’all?
