The people have spoken in a very loud voice.

Yep, he's as good as won at this point. And strongly too.

Wonder how long before people start talking about overturning the term limit.

At my age I'm more worried about my own term limit. lol

[wes4dbt]

The Dem's losing the senate majority makes this all the more worrisome. Hope for the best is all you can do now.

I'd hope for the 25th amendment but the red team will still be in charge.

[sapator]

Landslide! Lol.

Next time look at the betting companies non? Or ask , will save you the stress

Well now US is an antiwoke fascist state i guess.

And good riddance to them Wokers and the hive.

I have a question. When he will be inaugurated ?
I guess woke boys have some months ago to try to destroy and kill more people but will they actually have full power to do so as they are only typically in power?

[FunkyDexter]

I'll assume that was a reference to resignation, impeachment or incapacity. Lets not start hoping for death, whether you like him or not.

When he will be inaugurated ?

Jan 6th. Kind of a memorable date in recent history.

This doesn't surprise me one bit, I mean were Democrats really expecting average everyday people to support the insanities of the far left? The Democrats need to let go of the far left extremists if they ever hope to win another election.

I am also quite surprised that the Democrats didn't cheat. I do wonder though if it's for a lack of trying or if it's because they do have some sense of honor. I think it's the former but who really knows in these crazy times.

[PlausiblyDamp]

You weren't called out for your politics, you were called out for your racism. You called a black man "Uncle Tom" and referred to his place of business as "the plantation". I asked you not to do that, you doubled down, so you got a warning.

You've been posting your politics for 6 pages and haven't been called out once for it.

You can feign martyrdom if you wish but we can all read what you wrote.

Wow, who would have expected a Trump supporter to resort to racism!

I know, such wild left wing ideas like "not being a sex offender".

There is almost no cheating in US elections. Various Republicans have talked about it, and some have gone looking, but as far as I am aware, the only moderately organized cheating operations have proven to be on the right, which probably discouraged them from looking anymore.

I hope I can still afford to retire in a year.

Also, there IS another shoe left to drop. Trump spent the first few of the last four years hinting at a major medical issue that might prevent him from running. He then refused to disclose any medical records. So, is it there, and if so, what is it? There's one pretty obvious answer, since the "IQ Test" he was bragging about at the end of his first term is actually a test given sequentially over time to measure the progress of dementia.

It may also be nothing, since he didn't explicitly say that the thing that might prevent him from being able to run was medical, but...no other reason makes a whole lot of sense. It wouldn't be the first time, either. Roosevelt ran for his last term when it was pretty clear he wouldn't survive it, and didn't come close, while Reagan was almost certainly showing signs of the Alzheimer's that killed him soon after he left office (we might know for certain in about fifteen years).

Yeah, pretty much, since they weren't insanities. Seven abortion rights measures passed, and there would have been an eighth if Florida didn't require a super majority (which they nearly got). The conservative social issues didn't win. Where they were explicitly on the ballot, they lost with the exception of South Dakota (Nebraska is mostly weird, since they muddied the water so thoroughly). It was pretty much the economy from start to finish. Inflation happened under Biden. No sitting president has survived that since....well, I'm not sure if they have EVER survived that, since modern economic record keeping has been around.

Are you going to off on another tangent then than say "I don't want to debate it in the name of peace?". Post #143

Edit:

If you would like to speak for yourself, please feel free to post

[sapator]

So Trump may have dementia and cannot continue but Biden was in top condition? Interesting.
I really like to see someone try remove Trump from the office with dementia when he becomes president.


As for Niya, I don't agree. Any Woke Democrats are going to crawl into their holes and wait and will not change their minds but we have 4 years to spray them with democracy! Sorry, I meant democratic fascism.

P.S. All check your logos :P

[Shaggy Hiker]

I don't know whether Biden was in top condition or not. I'm basing that on what Trump said and did. You don't just decide, "today's a fine day...I think I'll get tested for dementia!" We have a bajillion different tests one could take, including plenty of (dubious) IQ tests, if he wanted to take an IQ test. Why choose that one? Why choose ANY test? There may well be legitimate reasons, but none have ever been given. Trump then stated in a few interviews that "things" might prevent him from being able to run. That can also be several different things, but there aren't many that are likely other than health issues. Legal trouble, perhaps, but he made those statements long before he had been in court, and he certainly never thinks he'll lose, so that seems unlikely.

As for being removed, if he is, it will be by his own people.

[TysonLPrice]

Well...it is a fact, Trump won. Geez, I hate that! I think the world is worse off. But, he won and he is President. Strap in for the next four years, at least. Stars help us all and the world

[dilettante]

I don't think the world is going to end any more than it did in his 1st term.

I can't imagine him even fantasizing about an additional term at his age. There is no way this one will be easy on him.

Better safe than sorry. It would be a great hoax if he also tested for breast cancer.

How is that a hoax? Men can get breast cancer.

[sapator]

OK I take it back, bad joke about serious disease.

If you are replying to me I said the world is worse off, nothing about an end to anything.

[Shaggy Hiker]

That may be the case. I have no idea whether elderly presidents, all presidents, or...well, anybody else, gets routine cognition tests. They might. It wouldn't be a bad idea, when it comes to presidents, but the results would end up being suppressed simply because there's no mechanism to do otherwise. Still, I don't know a single elderly person who has taken such a test, just in case. When you couple that with his curious statements about some issue, it does make me wonder.

I was saying that a couple years ago, too, because it's the most likely answer. It's not the ONLY answer, though, so we'll see...or maybe we won't. Some presidential records are sealed for 50 years after they leave office...or maybe after they die. Perhaps we won't see any of Carter's records this century?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Depends on whether he goes all Smoot-Hawley like he said he would.

Yeah, I can understand why too. Everytime I go to the grocery store the last few years inflation is obvious. That's a big part of peoples budget. I'd also add in the cost of housing. Don't know about other states but it's a real problem here in CA. I know inflation is back down in the 2% range but the damage was done. That said, I don't think Trump/Republicans are going to make the situation any better. I just hope they don't make it worse.

No, that was the date the 2020 election was certified. By law the inauguration takes place between 73 and 79 days after the presidential election. So it will be January 20th, 2025. Hopefully Biden can stay awake through the whole thing.

[homer13j]

Biden's first act in office was to reverse all of Trump's energy policies causing fuel prices to skyrocket. And when fuel costs more everything else follows. Of course all that money printing (and a lot of it was at the end of Trumps' first term) certainly didn't help, either. Those policies will go back into place January 20.

I'd also add in the cost of housing. Don't know about other states but it's a real problem here in CA.

I'll sell you my house in Cleveland right now for $120K. Nice neighborhood and lowest crime rate in the city 'cause all the cops live here. There are advantages to living in an area no one else wants to. lol

[Shaggy Hiker]

What were those energy policies?

[sapator]

First election impact, Germany rattling right now, probably will go to elections soon with patriotic parties at the gates.

What type of fuel are you referring to?? If it's gas then yes there was a spike after exceptionally low gas prices in 2020. But those low prices were due to a glut of oil because of COVID. I don't know what energy policies your talking about.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Why is that an election impact? Germany has been heading down steadily. The government coalition is very unpopular and the economy is in the toilet. That was true last week, it isn't any less or more true today.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Trump ended up with fewer total votes than he got in 2020. He won largely because Harris did much worse than Biden.

[wes4dbt]

That may be true. Not sure how many votes are left to be counted. There are 39 House seats yet to be called.

It does appear to be a lower voter turnout this election. That surprises me. Maybe all the controversy over COVI*D drove an exceptionally high voter turnout last time.

[homer13j]

What were those energy policies?

Aw, geez... it was almost four years ago so I don't remember the specifics, but look up Biden's executive order #7 and it went on from there.

[dilettante]

It does appear to be a lower voter turnout this election.

What it is? Something like 15 million D votes that miraculously evaporated between 2020 and 2024?

Yeah it seems unlikely people just stayed home.

They lost now because reps where prepared for this , they where not newbies...Or nothing happened, who cares? The black clouds have been lifted
