Yes we are going to deport mass numbers of aliens. Only way to correct the great harm done to the citizens by Santa Joe. There is a strong sentiment for this even by the Latino community judging by the voting. No mas.


Good luck getting your roof repaired!  Or eating, after Cargill, ADM, Tyson, Bunge Ltd, and JBS lose a quarter of their workforce.

Turns out that Oprah Winfrey hosted Town Hall Meeting for Kamala Harris was beneficial for Oprah.
She collected $ One Million for her appearance from the Kamala Campaign.


We are voting for values and integrity,Winfrey said at the rally.


Uh, sure.

Celebrities charge such fees for hosting and other appearances.  This is standard in the industry.  Hardly news.   For her to give a significant portion of that back would violate campaign finance laws.  Also, news flash: election is over,  yesterday's news.  The country faces more pressing concerns like whether the US will continue helping to stop Russian aggression, what will happen to the military and civil service, will the growth of wind and other alternative energy power maintain its present pace, will millions of people doing labor-intensive service jobs and keeping our supply chains functioning be suddenly deported or placed in detention camps, will import tariffs spike consumer prices and fuel massive inflation and a retaliatory shift by China to South American exports, will a return to drill baby drill cause harm to ecosystems, groundwater, seashores, etc, will all government workers be coerced to take a loyalty oath to the president instead of the Constitution, and will women regain autonomy regarding their own bodies and lives, and...hey, you could try reading the news instead of Right Wing bloviators who serve the oligarchs and not the public interest.

Bottom line.
Oprah collected a million smackers for endorsing Kamala.

America is the champion of 'dog eat dog', 'play the money-making game or perish', 'never give a sucker an even break' etc.
It's on display in movies and in life.
Someone wants to give you a million bucks to endorse them, you do it, do what you were paid for, pocket the cash, and live happily ever after.
Money provides a happy life, for the wise.

Huh! 1874 agrarian society, wide open spaces, labor and a population needed. A calmer more innocent time. Emma Lazarus hit the spot. So nice and died so young.

So candidates who pay for celebrity endorsements, that's just Harris, right?  And whichever one loses a race, we can then smugly declare that was wasted money.  Got it.  Glad Trump's Hulk Hogan money paid off!

(Sure is a lot of gloating on behalf of a candidate you, cough, didn't vote for!)

What gloating?
It was the Joy Reid s of the world who gloated over the FLAWLESS Kamala campaign.
Turns out her campaign blew threw a billion dollars but is still $ 20 million in debt and has nothing to show for it.
I am sure her campaign donors want a full reckoning of how their money was spent in addition to making Oprah richer.
The dems now are completely out of power after a continuing shift of the country to the right.
It has much to do with the party just totally being out of touch.

Karmically Luee is already more than guaranteed to get caught up in the crossfire of the round ups long before he starves as a result of the ensuing labor disruptions.

More practically though, the trump administration has asked itself why bother having pay for this working group when they can be enslaved for immigration violations and be put right back into the same jobs under private prison supervision.

I do not expect many people to be leaving our borders.

Fences work much better keeping folks in than for keeping folks out.

The question the dems will not ask themselves :

What if we had offered the voters an intelligent alternative to Trump?
Trump now is in charge of the Federal Government for at least the next two years.
The TDS  did that to us.
And if Trump fails, and he well could, that will be on us, too.

Ah yes, that classic racist trope rears its tiny head again.  The lady who was AG of SF, then Calif, then US Senator, then sharp cross examiner in Senate hearings is actually a dummy!

Dems lost because, as around the globe, incumbent loathing peaks during global economic disruptions and fallout from that.  Trump managed to play off that, link it to xenophobia, add a pinch of misogyny for the manosphere, and voila.

Your words redux, but laughably opposite of exit polls of actual voters.
