Democrats are sore losers. Republicans are bad winners. Good bad or indifferent; the country will get what they voted for.

But I can tell you one thing, I don't care how well a ho can blow me if she's ugly like her, I'm not even getting hard (she better be thin and very pretty and between 18-20).

Have you seen pictures of her 40 yrs ago, she's just as ugly as she is today (and 40 yrs older) if not worse!!

From his behavior with women, I m pretty sure your crazy has a small tool, when he has a frustrated about women, behavior.

[Sirioja]

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

When US are less than 5% of our world, for population, but much more for pollution killing many in Florida, Louisiana and California, except Netanyahou and Orban, I think most of our world wish a very short life to Trump, like for Putin.

[Sirioja]

LOL. Spidey, the one thing everyone here knows is that no matter what Trump does, you and Tooms are going to gripe about it. Hell, you two douches and Cane are already lying about how great the economy was. If the Biden / Harris economy was so fucking great, why did Harris lose?

Maybe, because a woman, when latinos and black don t want a woman to govern them, from their middle age mind. Democrats mistake, but they were in hurry to find other than Biden. US need a woman to make them improve, rather than a not clever, only bullshiting Trump, but Democrats should better find a man for 2028 , when US are not ready for a woman.

America Makes a Perilous Choice
Nov. 6, 2024

American voters have made the choice to return Donald Trump to the White House, setting the nation on a precarious course that no one can fully foresee.

The founders of this country recognized the possibility that voters might someday elect an authoritarian leader and wrote safeguards into the Constitution, including powers granted to two other branches of government designed to be a check on a president who would bend and break laws to serve his own ends. And they enacted a set of rights most crucially the First Amendment for citizens to assemble, speak and protest against the words and actions of their leader.

Over the next four years, Americans must be cleareyed about the threat to the nation and its laws that will come from its 47th president and be prepared to exercise their rights in defense of the country and the people, laws, institutions and values that have kept it strong.

It can't be ignored that millions of Americans voted for a candidate even some of his closest supporters acknowledge to be deeply flawed convinced that he was more likely to change and fix what they regarded as the nation's urgent problems: high prices, an infusion of immigrants, a porous southern border and economic policies that have flowed unequally through society. Some cast their votes out of a profound dissatisfaction with the status quo, politics or the state of American institutions more broadly.

Whatever drove this decision among these voters, however, all Americans should now be wary of an incoming Trump administration that is likely to put a top priority on amassing unchecked power and punishing its perceived enemies, both of which Mr. Trump has repeatedly vowed to do. All Americans, regardless of their party or politics, should insist that the fundamental pillars of the nation's democracy including constitutional checks and balances, fair-minded federal prosecutors and judges, an impartial election system and basic civil rights be preserved against an assault that he has already begun and has said he would continue.

At this point, there can be no illusions about who Donald Trump is and how he intends to govern. He showed us in his first term and in the years after he left office that he has no respect for the law, let alone the values, norms and traditions of democracy. As he takes charge of the world's most powerful state, he is transparently motivated only by the pursuit of power and the preservation of the cult of personality he has built around himself. These stark assessments are striking in part because they are held not just by his critics but also by those who served most closely with him.

We are a nation that has always emerged from a crucible with its ideals intact and often toughened and sharpened. The institutions of our government, hardened by nearly 250 years of disputation, turmoil, assassinations and wars, held firm when Mr. Trump assailed them four years ago. And Americans know how to counter Mr. Trump's worst instincts actions that were unjust, immoral or illegal because they did so, over and over, during his first administration. Civil servants, members of Congress, members of his own party and people he appointed to high office often stood in the way of the former president's plans, and other institutions of our society, including the free press and independent law enforcement agencies, held him accountable to the public.

Mr. Trump and his movement have all but taken over the Republican Party. Yet it is also important to remember that Mr. Trump can't run for another term. From the day he enters the White House, he will be, in effect, a lame-duck president. The Constitution limits him to two terms. Congress has the power and for some ambitious Republicans, perhaps the political incentive to set a course away from Mr. Trump's antidemocratic agenda, if it chooses to pursue it.

Governors and legislatures across the nation have spent months shoring up their state laws and Constitutions to protect civil rights and liberties, including access to reproductive and gender-affirming health care. Even states that voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Trump, including Kentucky, Ohio and Kansas, have rejected the most extreme positions on abortion. Other institutions of American civil society will play a crucial role in challenging the Trump administration in the courts, in our communities and in the protests that are sure to return.

The rest of the world, too, has no illusions about the leader who will soon again represent the United States on the world stage. The countries of the NATO alliance were shocked, during the first Trump administration, by his willingness to undermine that long and valuable partnership. But European nations, defying Mr. Trump's predictions, not only came together with the United States in the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine but also expanded their ranks right up to Russia's border.

For the Democratic Party, rear-guard action as the political opposition will not be enough. The party must also take a hard look at why it lost the election. It took too long to recognize that President Biden was not capable of running for a second term. It took too long to recognize that large swaths of Democrats' progressive agenda were alienating voters, including some of the most loyal supporters of their party. And Democrats have struggled for three elections now to settle on a persuasive message that resonates with Americans from both parties who have lost faith in the system which pushed skeptical voters toward the more obviously disruptive figure, even though a large majority of Americans acknowledge his serious faults. If the Democrats are to effectively oppose Mr. Trump, it must be not just through resisting his worst impulses but also by offering a vision of what they would do to improve the lives of all Americans and respond to anxieties that people have about the direction of the country and how they would change it.

The test for members of this new Congress will begin soon after they take their oath. The president-elect has promised to surround himself in his second term with enablers prepared to pledge loyalty to him, who will be willing to do whatever he commands. But a president needs the Senate to approve many of those appointments. Senators can stop the most extreme or unqualified candidates from taking cabinet positions like defense secretary and attorney general, as well as seats on the Supreme Court and the federal bench. They can act to keep clearly unfit candidates from holding any powerful position. The Senate did that in 2020, when it blocked Mr. Trump's attempts to seat unqualified people on the board of the Federal Reserve, and the chamber should not hesitate to do so again.

Perhaps the most important responsibility lies with all of those who will serve in a second Trump administration. Those he appoints as attorney general, as secretary of defense and to other top leadership roles should expect that he may ask them to carry out illegal acts or violate their oaths to the Constitution on his behalf, as he did in his first term. We urge them to recognize that whatever pledge of loyalty he may demand, their first loyalty is to their country. Standing up to Mr. Trump is possible, and it is the duty of every American public servant when appropriate.

But the final responsibility for ensuring the continuity of America's enduring values lies with its voters. Those who supported Mr. Trump in this election should closely observe his conduct in office to see if it matches their hopes and expectations, and if it does not, they should make their disappointment known and cast votes in the 2026 midterms and in 2028 to put the country back on course. Those who opposed him should not hesitate to raise alarms when he abuses his power, and if he attempts to use government power to retaliate against critics, the world will be watching.

Benjamin Franklin famously admonished the American people that the nation was "a republic, if you can keep it. " Mr. Trump's election poses a grave threat to that republic, but he will not determine the long-term fate of American democracy. That outcome remains in the hands of the American people. It is the work of the next four years.

Donald Trump, gazing through his Mar-a-Lardo boudoir peep-hole last night:

[EihTooms]

The consensus is this election is definitive proof that 2020 was stolen.

The American people would never fire Trump in 2020 and then turn around reelect him 4 years later (with almost 5 million more votes than the ho) after all the drama of the last 4 years.

Its extremely obvious he won in 2020 just like he did in 2016 and 2024.

BTW where the fuck is that worthless piece of shit Pelosi that helped push Scumbag Joe on the tracks??

Let me guess, it was illegal immigrants voting for Biden in 2020 that allowed him to "steal the election". You know, the ones who the Dems let in "for their votes," right?

But somehow, mysteriously and magically, after letting in millions more immigrants over the past 3 1/2 years supposedly so they can vote for Dems, every one of them amongst a 19% decline in Dem voter turnout, decided to vote for Trump?

Lolol. Well thought out. Who were you having these conversations with? The same Loony MAGAs who think the Stock Market is at an all-time low, the unemployment rate is at an all-time high and that Americans routinely drop off their sons at school and pick them up later as daughters?

[MarquisdeSade1]

I love you too Marquis.

Didn't your man crush Oliver get less votes than RFK that begged people not to vote for him and dropped out of the race several months ago LMFAO.

Did Bernie Sanders come to the conclusion that "Democrats abandoned the working class" while he was being trampled over by lying congressional Repubs rushing to the ribbon-cuttings to take undeserved credit for job-creating, wage-increaseng American Working Class projects that Biden and the Dems passed and made a reality despite those same Repubs voting against them?

LOL. Preposterous. Bernie is wrong, of course. As usual.

The Democratic Party and its President Biden created more jobs and raised more wages and purchasing power for the American Working Class in just the past 7 years than all the Repubs combined since 1858, the year the Repub Party began.

Your LAS has admitted himself he lost the election, and on more than one occasion. The jig is up, go with the program already.

She was quite a cock sucker when she was young. It may be the only thing she was ever good at!

But I can tell you one thing, I don't care how well a ho can blow me if she's ugly like her, I'm not even getting hard (she better be thin and very pretty and between 18-20).

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

BTW I am a huge fan of Hegemonic Masculinity!! No Beta Cucks Allowed!!

Trump needs to hire him ASAP.

Well, certainly bigger ones than Trump and any other Repub, despite her being a fully natural born female.

Yes, she is a "Better Man" and provably a more Patriotic American than Trump, his Repub ass-lickers and fellow Putin swallowers have ever been.

[EihTooms]

To further bolster my observation and conclusion that the Red Wave that addle-brained Trump rode on to election victory was nothing more than the usual pattern of Dems staying home or not bothering to vote when they are perfectly fine with how things are going with their financial situation despite what they "think" and say to each other and pollsters about it in general (as in, everyone always complaining about the price of everything despite their ongoing ability to pay for it, almost everyone I ever knew in my life living paycheck to paycheck, etc), that pattern being when Dem POTUS economic results have fully recovered us and then some from the recent Historic Great Repub Economic Disaster, the electorate gets complacent and open to whatever lies and sucker social issues Repubs must run on to win anything, see 2008 vs 2016 vs 2020 vs 2024, even Trump's Repub Fed Chairman Powell is refusing to buy Trump's Repub bullshit about this economy being "the worst ever" or a dire emergency that requires dire measures or any such thing.

Of course, Dem voters are less susceptible to that Repub bullshit while Repub voters are the biggest suckers on the planet and just gobble it up with bigger gulps under the current Repub Leader Con Man than most, racing to the polls in order to vote against their and America's best interests.

This time, even Trump's own Repub Fed Chairman appointee is so terrified of Trump's plans and Promises To Keep for this Envy of the World Recovery and Economy that he and Biden-Harris worked so hard to create he is defiantly and publicly opposing any potential move by idiot Trump to fire and replace him with god-knows-who utterly unfit replacement:
