Today, Kamala Harris proved herself to be a "Better Man" than Putin's Bottom Donnie Trump, Moscow Mitch, Lindsey Nellie Graham, Little Marco and every other Repub ever has in their lives.

Mr. Trump offered a regressive idea of masculinity in which power over women is a birthright.

You guys can bloviate....

Spidy's definition of bloviate: conflicts with my political position and is not simple minded

[Spidy]

Anybody being objective knows that the Boeing strike and the storms greatly impacted new job growth negatively. And inflation is back down from its highs. Those are objective facts. And the majority can be dead wrong too. Example: the majority gleefully cheered for Hitler. Obama handed Trump a good economy (after cleaning up after Republican Bush) and he fucked it up. Biden is also handing him a strong economy having a soft landing from inflationary pressures (that was caused by the pandemic and not Biden). What's Trump going to do? Certain he will fuck that up as well, among many other embarrassing flubs and fuck ups. Why so sure? Because the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior! Republicans run the economy into the ground with their tax cuts for the rich and bullshit "trickle down voodoo" economics. Then Democrats come in and clean it up. It's clearly a thankless job!

Exactly Right!

That does seem to be the Repub cycle of "governing" and their modus operandi. The proof will be in the pudding, with what they do now with yet another GREAT Dems economy, gifted to them.

It really never ends LOL. Trump could literally save the Planet from world war 3, Alien invasion, and an asteroids strike in the same month and Dems will still find something to complain about. Give the man a chance and wait until he actually does something fucked up to call him out on.

Here are some examples of the Biden failures.

1. Pull out of Middle East failure.

2. Closed pipe line costing 50,000 jobs in PA. Probably cost him those electorals too, but he had to bend the knee to the deep state..

Trump to leave office with the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover.

He added Trillions to the deficit for this:

And then he gave the world this and added Trillions more to the deficit for it:

BTW, Trump himself admitted if we'd only gotten a heads up about those emerging COVID cases "two months earlier, we could have stopped it easily. " Meanwhile, Trump was more responsible than any other person on the planet for more responsible parties NOT getting that heads up "two months earlier ".

https://www.yahoo.com/news/bob-woodw...091902598.html

Talking to Woodward on March 19, 2020, Trump said Barron, then 13, asked what was going on and he answered: I said, it came out of China, Barron. Pure and simple. It came out of China. And it shouldve been stopped. And to be honest with you, Barron, they shouldve let it be known it was a problem two months earlier ... the world wouldnt have a problem. We could have stopped it easily.

Are you really going to.compare Biden leading the most effective and least deadly withdrawal in military history from an occupied country at war by the losing side with only one (1) suicide bomber getting past Trump's Talaban victors' security responsibilities to tragically kill 13 USA Military personnel to Trump's historically disastrous ushering in and exacerbating Trump's Pandemic with the result of mass murdering at least 1 million Americans so far along with all of the millions of jobs wiped out, business and school closures, the supply-chain collapse hyper-inflation, skyrocketing prices and opportunistic corporate price gouging that inevitably followed?

And that is in addition to the fact that your list of total nonsense can not be remotely substantiated to be a Biden failure or transgression anyway.

[MarquisdeSade1]

I see the typically pro Repub Mainstream Media pundits are blathering their usual trashing of the Dem Party, their "failures" to understand this or that, their ineffective campaign strategies and tactics, losing touch with the American people and all that while praising the genius of Trump, the connection Repubs have with the American people, how Trump got it that this economy sucks while Harris didn't and all that.

However, this is what happened in terms of 2024 voter turnout:

Trumps victory and his improvements all across the country.
Compared with 2020, a greater share of votes were cast in red areas.
Nov. 6, 2024

https://www.politico.com/live-update...nties-00188064

The history of Dem vs Repub voter turnout for the most part shows Dems turning out to vote more than Repubs during times of verifiable, objectively identifiable economic distress while Repubs turn out to vote more than Dems after being riled up by irrational fear, hate and sucker social issues spun by their Party's con men along with their perennial election benefactors in Mainstream Media.

Despite what they give for an easier, lazier answer to the "Which Party / candidate handles the economy better" poll question, the consistent historical fact is the American Electorate does not elect more Repubs to fix the economy when it is indeed crashing down around our ears as it does so often at the end of Repub presidential terms. They vote for more Dems to fix it.

Only when the economy and jobs creation is doing quite well are Dems complacent enough to stay home or to not bother to vote. Like they did this time..

On the other hand, he's a spendthrift. But maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel on that. Trump said Elon Musk will engineer cuts to save the federal government $2 trillion a year. Ojala!

Do you really believe that? Because if you do here's another hahahahaha! Musk isn't going to do squat! He'll soon find out that running a big country is not like running a big business. Just like Trump did. In fact, with both men being headstrong individuals with huge egos, I expect there to be a major falling out between them at some point before it's all over. Will be funny as hell is Trump gets banned from Twitter / X again LOL!

[MarquisdeSade1]

Actually I'm celebrating the defeat of old white men, Democrats Jon Tester, Sherrod Brown, and Bob Casey. And the victory of one old white woman, Republican Deb Fischer. Republicans will control the Senate! Unfortunately American Hero Mitch McConnell, who's retiring, won't be leading them next year. It's almost certain Republicans will control the House too, a fact not recognized by many Democrats. Joy Reid on MSNBC still thinks Hakeem Jeffries will be the next Speaker of the House!

Trump's a mixed bag. I couldn't vote for him, because of his character and his election meddling in 2020/2021. But he will promote deregulation and rational taxation. Hopefully he'll play a part in bringing peace to Ukraine. On the other hand, he's a spendthrift. A Harris presidency and Republican Congress would perhaps be less likely to run big deficits. But maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel on that. Trump said Elon Musk will engineer cuts to save the federal government $2 trillion a year. Ojala!.

I really hope you voted for the gay dude with the loaded gun for you.

And congrats you might just actually be even worse than ET and Spidy with your toxicity.

NOW The DNC can suck Willie Brown 24/7 w / Harris.

Whilst MAGA bulldozes all their BULLSHIT.

4. 20% inflation year over year.

5. Allowed corporate America to take over real estate, can't buy a home.

6. 80,000 open border fentanyl deaths a year.

Yes, biggest Democrats mistake was to not prosecute such crazy dangerous playing clown.

[Spidy]

What is KKKK? Ku -Klux- Klan- something?

Yeah, Trump's Papa Smurf, was a member of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), glad you're paying attention!

Funny you ask, as your KKK comment, is used prolifically, by another member of your MAGA ISG cohorts, perhaps you should ask them, n'est-ce pas? (...kkkk!) See the difference?

LOL a great economy? 10,000 jobs last month --High Inflation-- I guess the Majority of voters are just Dummies and Spidee is a Genius--LMAO.

Not even one day after being wrong about anything do you eat any humble pie. Of course it is the same old bullshit with you and all them. Oh we were all wrong about Trump winning? Never mind.

Maybe shut up and figure out what you got wrong before popping off again. How about that?

You guys can bloviate, all you want, in the face of a trifecta. Less excuses for MAGA, to hide behind, when enviably shit doesn't get done and the "know nothing", "do nothing" MAGA congress show up.

So enjoy the win, the REAL work (not shooting off your mouth prematurely), for Repubs/MAGA to "run the country into the ground", starts very soon!

But I'm really hoping, this time around for Repubs and MAGA, it'll be different and won't be the case? Here's to hoping!

The main reason for the "Hahahahahaha" though was that Tooms' and Spidy's belief that the American economy is in great shape because of Democrats was firmly rejected by the majority of American voters.

[Tiny 12]

My portfolio is already up quite nicely! Trump doesn't need to pass any legislation. His presence alone will spur investment and a stronger economy. I just sold my Lockheed Martin and bought big into Tesla and its already paying off. No more wars and new tech is the way to go. America spoke, WE WANT money! Trump will deliver.

That being said, let's hope he keeps his bullshit to a minimum and does focus on unifying the country through success and does the things he was elected to do. I will be the first to criticize him when and if he fails. First thing he has to do is end this bullshit in Ukraine with his boy Putin and this will win over NATO and Europe. Then parlay that success and use the momentum to end the conflict in Israel. Netanyau will bend the knee in a split second if we threaten to pull support. He'll be quick to make a deal. By solving those two problems the world won't be able to ignore the power of the Orange Giant LOL and he can use that to his advantage in getting some trade deals done with China. America is going to love those dirt cheap imports or we buy American and spur domestic manufacturing. Either way we we'll win.

Border does need to be secured, but hopefully he doesn't deport all the illegals. I didn't want to say this before the election, but they are great for the economy. Cheap labor and 30 million extras consumers and all the natives have to do is invest in Corporate America and we can't lose. Next four years will be known as the "TRUE" roaring twenties. Here comes the boom!

To all the Dems like Tooms, sorry for your loss boys. I was never one to kick a man when he is down. Look on the bright side, In four years we get to do it all over again.

Excellent post. I agree wholeheartedly with most of it. I hope you're right, that he'll use the tariffs as a negotiating tool to promote free trade, instead of a closing America to imports.

Let's be clear, if Trump succeeds, it will not be about his winning strategy, but the Democrats' losing one. They handed it to him on a platter.

They kept on telling struggling Americans that the economy was good. Despite the entire nation being hurt by inflation. End of quote.

The Biden economy has been great for the stock owning and home owning elite but for everyone else? Not so much. It turns out people can do math and see their prices up every damned day and they have less money in their bank accounts.

Another great one.

https://www.politico.com/live-update...nties-00188064

Overall turnout numbers will continue to tick upward over the remaining weeks as additional ballots are reported. But the disparities in the current results are clear in suggesting a strong performance from the GOPs base, and lower turnout from Democrats.

The shifts were not entirely uniform: Turnout did not drop as much in Democratic strongholds in the battlegrounds, perhaps a sign that the partys campaign apparatuses and the significant attention paid to the election in those states still drove the partys base. In Wisconsin, for example, turnout in Milwaukee and Dane counties roughly matched 2020 numbers.

The history of Dem vs Repub voter turnout for the most part shows Dems turning out to vote more than Repubs during times of verifiable, objectively identifiable economic distress while Repubs turn out to vote more than Dems after being riled up by irrational fear, hate and sucker social issues spun by their Party's con men along with their perennial election benefactors in Mainstream Media.

They vote for more Dems to fix it.

Only when the economy and jobs creation is doing quite well are Dems complacent enough to stay home or to not bother to vote. Like they did this time.

As I pointed out months and months ago, the irony is the greatest threat to an easy re-election of Joe Biden is that in fact his economy is doing too well. That is precisely when voters and particularly Dem voters don't feel a need to race to the polls on election day or bother to vote by any other means. They are fine with how things are. Oh, they LOVE to complain about it, about the price of everything. But their habitual complaints about those things don't translate into being so concerned about it they must vote to change it.

Kamala Harris lost while Trump benefitted from those circumstances this year the same way Hillary Clinton lost while Trump benefitted in 2016. At the end of Obama's presidency, the economy was doing quite fine and everyone knew it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vote...tial_elections

That's why more Repubs than Dems came out to vote this time around and the only reason Trump was carried into a win on a Red wave. Period. Sorry.

People have always complained about the price of bacon and eggs. Yet, plenty of bacon and eggs are bought and eaten every year.

Considering wages have far out-paced the typical American worker's purchasing power of 2019, adjusted for inflation (thanks to Blue Cities in Blue States raising the minimum wage in 2018 and 2019, the ripple effect from that into higher wage earners and the brave and brilliant Biden recovery from Trump's Pandemic), the reason fewer Dems showed up to vote this year was simply because their financial situation is quite alright today, thank you very much. As it also is for Repubs. But Repubs were riled up to vote by con man Trump based on irrational fear, hatred and the usual sucker social issues than can always be relied on to rile up Repub suckers.

It would be interesting to see how many Propositions on ballots around the country requiring additional expenditures to fund this or that also passed just fine this year compared to, say, 2008 and 2020. That would be because voters know they can afford it. Thanks, Joe.

And now you know the REST of the story.

[Gino02]

All the meaningless arguments over. Hope some people learned their lessons. Now let's unite the World!

[RamDavidson84]

Incredible, US have no brain, to forget he didn't respect law nor constitution nor democracy, leading to 6 January 2021 after all his bullshits about dominion. Then, many Repubicans like Pence resisted to his pressure with his mafia like Guliani, in order to respect constitution he doesn't even know and care about. When most Republicans with brain voted for Republicans but not for Trump, US will be now governed by his mafia including now Musk who bought people for him. For our world, let s hope his life will now be very short and same for Putin. Problem is not Republicans, but mafia Trump who fucked deeply US who believed him.

It really never ends LOL. Trump could literally save the Planet from world war 3, Alien invasion, and an asteroids strike in the same month and Dems will still find something to complain about. Give the man a chance and wait until he actually does something fucked up to call him out on.

2. Closed pipe line costing 50,000 jobs in PA. Probably cost him those electorals too, but he had to bend the knee to the deep state.

3. Supply chain issues.

4. 20% inflation year over year.

5. Allowed corporate America to take over real estate, can't buy a home.

6. 80,000 open border fentanyl deaths a year.

7. Sky high violent crime rates and then pass legislation to eliminate harsh penalties for criminals.

8. Gets bullied by Union bosses driving up costs for consumers.

9. Use our tax Dollars to Protect Europe from Russia while Europe treats us like shit and shames us into giving them more money for NATO.

10. Israel.

That's just all I can remember off the top of my head. Wait for Trump to have some sort of failure similar to those and then you can start you complain train. If there was ever a country I wouldn't mind going to war with, its France! Their liberal feminine strange culture ruined the west. Macron literally married a 90 year old wMAN to get elected. That is the most pathetic politician of my life time. Even worse than Biden and his junkie son.
