Election results discussion thread (and sadly the inevitable aftermath)

That was the cherry on top of the press conference

Yeah, how the mighty fall. First you take down the NY mob, then you beccome "America's mayor", and then you completely screw up a presidential campaign and end up becoming an incompetent man-child's performing monkey.

Don't know. We're going to need some temporal and emotional distance to really see what the effects of his presidency were, is the real answer.

Oh you mean like how George Bush suddenly got looked on fondly despite the fact he was disliked and likely did far more damage to the US's reputation than Trump has managed (at least so far).

I wish I could take a break from politics but now there are 2 special elections in Georgia where I am going to have to donate involving the senate, the bitter partisan fight over the cabinet, the fact that 2022 congressional elections are still loaming, and many liberals will just go back to brunch, and forget about it, and 2024 with a potential worst candidate than Trump like Tucker Carlson.

Tucker Carlson might be the least of your worries.

You have Slimeball Cruz still about whose getting pretty popular because he's actually been making decent points about big tech companies.

You also have the far more insidious billionaire in the wings who unlike Trump is very much in with the Billionaires and elites.

The return of Mitt Romney

A tiny minority of actually hateful individuals.......which would mean actually blocking said law would make sense. They won't be a problem but why fight a law to block something awful that is extremely unlikely to happen

A tiny minority of actually hateful cannot enact "Sharia Law", ergo blocking them from doing so is pointless.

What is actually does is signal "we don't want Muslims here", which is bullshit

Can we throw Kasich down a hole and never see him again?

Ergo just pass the law and move on.

Also again plenty of Muslims don't want Sharia Law anyway they don't even like it.

No but seriously it there's 2 different progressive section of the Democrats.

1 that is about liberal values and liberty another that is about hatred and trying to dominate.

Attempting to stop the domination side will help stop the growing hate at least somewhat.

How Hatred Came To Dominate American Politics

To anyone following American politics, it’s not exactly news that Democrats and Republicans don’t like each other. Take what happened in the presidential debate…

So I wake up and finally, FINALLY, the US has a president.

...back to sleep again.

Only preliminarily lol It's still technically all going on.

Christ I'd hate to see what happens if things don't pan out as people are expecting..............

That actually likely only means he's had the disease not is presently ill so sorry to rain on you hopes and dreams of him dying but antibodies doesn't mean he's still got Covid just that he had it and could even have been asymptomatic or mostly asymptomatic.

He will likely have lifelong complications.

 

[Dwarvenhobble]

No. That's only in more serious cases normally.

So to you too sorry to rain on your hoping a person you don't actually know suffers life long complications because you disagree on a few things.
