USA, it was fun while it lasted.

MAGA has promised that  USA and its People will be safer and better off financially etc with it in charge.

The bastards.

Said people claim they are worse off than they were 4 years ago, so they voted for Trump...reportedly.
Throw in the debacle that is massive asylum-seeker immigration, globalisation of manufacturing, American manufacturing jobs exported to China etc, and you have Donald the born again President.
Women didn't vote for Kamala in the numbers expected.
Black folk didn't also.
Nor did the Hispanic/Latino populations outside of CA.
Why?  Is the question Dem HQ will be asking itself.

Trump wins.
Western civilisation really does need a tough guy in the White House at this time.
Thank you Americans.
Taiwan, Australia, Japan, Ukraine,Israel etc now have a better chance of survival.

UKRAINE?  Do you have the slightest comprehension of what happens in the world?  You are dumber than dingo droppings.

The bastards.

The electoral college has spoken.  The bastards.

Woke up, read the news.  Oh boy.  Feel like the Spanish asthma patient in The Plague, by Camus.  He stays in bed all day transferring dried peas from one bucket to another.  Refuses to get out of bed. 

Anyway, fuck Pennsylvania.  No POTUS has won the US election in 80 years without winning PA.  I had a bad feeling about PA for days, but kept pushing it aside.  We really need to take the Electoral College and bury it deep out in the cornfield.

Sorry, Europe, UK, Ukraine, Canada, Oz, et al.  We really tried.

We are now freedom fighters, every single one of us who cares about the Constitution and representative democracy. 

And the battleground will be the courts.  Send a check to the ACLU, the Environmental Defense Fund, and other legal action groups that fight destructive policies and would-be fascists.

And replace the Electoral College system with what, exactly?

Last I heard, MAGA won the 270+, the popular vote, the House, and the Senate.

Trump is not tough. He is a weak man who thinks he is tough. But I suspect he had you at "guy."

Australia and Japan have never had any rational reason for worry. But Ukraine just lost the war with Russia. And if you think Trump will risk war with China over Taiwan, you know nothing of Trump.

No, no.  Bambu has a point.  Ukraine will survive in the same way Austria survived in 1938 and Czechoslovakia survived in 38-39.  All sarcasm aside, the notion that Trump somehow increases Israel's security is laughable.

Now they bring back race riots, morgue trucks, bankruptcies and further choking off global trade.

Just like four years ago with Putin, MBS and Bibi all in the cabinet but now with jackbooted thugs at every door.

Expect a big run on bump stocks, FPV drones, and the ingredients for thermite and napalm.

I expect that we will be at war with Mexico within two years, an Iraq adventure redux but closer to home.

You may be right. Trump says he wants to put Herschel Walker in charge of an Israeli style "Iron Dome" defense. Now, my assumption it that like most things that idiot says he has not thought it through and only proposed it because it sounded cool, an "Iron Dome" is a short range missed defense which really only makes sense if Trump is planning war with Mexico or Canada.

Canada will fall without a shot fired, as RW groups there also gain traction.  Too bad, I'm just a three hour drive from Saskatchewan and real estate is pretty reasonable there.  Mexico could hold out, as Ms Sheinbaum can terrify Trump with her access to the Jewish space laser.  And space lasers don't miss - the beam is wide enough to just deep fry the whole head and torso.  Not that I would want our coming White Christian Overlords to think I am seriously suggesting the murder of a sitting US president.  Just venting, haha! 

Now it's down to a few House races as to whether or not they get a unified government.
