Lett's see what Trump will do in the first 90 days in Office:

1. Green light the Keystone Pipeline Project

2. Close the southern border down and let ICE and Border Patrol do their job and get back to proper vetting.

3. Eliminate the "defund da Po-lice" bullshit.

4. Issue more permits for off-shore drilling, and possibly nuclear energy.

5. Stop the free handouts of money (which the taxpayers need) to Nato, the UN, and lessen to Israel and Ukraine. (fugg 'em, let them handle their own wars)

6. Get the tariffs back on Chy-na, etc up and going like his 1st Term, and get jobs back here.

7. Inflation starts to decrease, due to the self-reliance on our own oil, etc decreasing transportation and feed costs.

8. Get peace talks going between Russia and Ukraine.

9. Put immediate, full sanctions back on Iran, crippling their funding of Hamas and Hezzbollah.

10. Tell North Korea to knock it the fugg off, or else. Possibly send Dennis Rodman over again to smooze with Kim? Maybe a few love letters with veiled threats of annihilation if he doesn't behave himself?

11. Have a few military parades again while sipping on a nice warm glass of Liberal tears.

I gotta laugh at someone implying "stolen election" at this point in time. Especially after the measures put in place since 2020.

Well, at this point, sure. But I think there will be some snapback. That was just my prediction. It really is too early for anyone on the left pointing fingers at the cause of the loss. It seems really unlikely that there will some introspection on the left. I can't see them thinking, "Well maybe all this woke stuff is actually bullshit? Maybe we shouldn't try to prevent people from wishing other people a Merry Christmas, and maybe we should stop cutting off the breasts of healthy girls because of their 'feelings'..." They are too insane. The TDS will come out at some point...

But yes, the margins are so large, its really hard to entertain that.

I am a bit surprised by the sweeping results in most National and State results.

However if you are a working class family that hasn't had a major pay raise in the last 4 years, paying 28% more for your weekly groceries may explain the results. Working class people without college degrees are the majority in the USA.

One lady interviewed leaving the polling station said "I like Beyonce, but she doesn't pay for my groceries".

This morning's WSJ take: " The education gap grew. Those without a college degree moved rightward, according to the data. Harris won college-educated voters by 16 percentage points on Tuesday, while Trump won those without a college degree by nine points, according to VoteCast. That is a difference of 25 percentage points. Back in 2020, Biden won college-educated voters by 16 points—the same as Harris—but Trump won those without a degree by only 4 points—for a difference of 20 points.

The nation’s political divide around educational attainment has been growing for years and these results suggest it isn’t likely to stop soon.

The GOP also made big gains with nonwhite voters. Among Black voters, Trump saw his share of the vote grow to 15%, compared with 8% in 2020, according to AP VoteCast. There was a similar jump with Hispanics. On Tuesday, Trump won 41% of the Hispanic vote, 6 points higher than in 2020.

The biggest increase came from Black people who didn’t have a college degree.

In addition, Trump yet again rallied more rural white voters, helping him run up margins in a number of states. In 2016 and 2020, critics were skeptical that Trump could find enough voters in rural counties to compete with all the votes coming out of big urban centers, but he did it again on Tuesday." https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/election-results-2024-takeaways-7fbd81f1?st=mKfEXg&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

In retrospect, I think the failure of the Democratic Party was in not addressing Biden's decline appropriately. When the nation became aware of his decline at the disastrous debate last summer, they had to backpedal and put in a last-minute candidate who didn't really have a chance to build up a national presence. She likely was not the best choice anyway, but the point is that it was not realistic to expect her to win based on such a short campaign. Add to that the anguish of the working folks in seeing prices outpace their income for several years running.

I quit!

I think you're right about the woke stuff MeanMrMustard. I've heard people on the left going on about women's rights being taken away but it got to the point where the left couldn't even define what a women is. Any man could just claim that he is a woman. Some examples of women's rights being taken away by the left: Biological men participating in women's sports and injuring women and winning. Men entering women's spaces such as restrooms and locker rooms. Try to turn biological girls into boys with drugs and surgery. Women were loosing a lot of rights to men that I think most people on the left didn't know about or think through and if you brought these thinks up you became the enemy. And then there also the critical race theory nonsense. I think there is a lesson here. Instead of canceling people and name calling people with different views we should try listening to them.

@dropoffyourknee, I think Harris was the closest they could get to a functional candidate, lets say they picked someone else, who would have the name recognition that has not already utterly failed in the past. Biden won purely on the "I'm not Trump and I'm practically dead and my agenda from the 1960s was pretty centrist" so people were expecting a "do nothing president" and he picked a slate of failed candidates that were likely to not accomplish anything (Harris, Buttigieg etc) which is perfectly fine, the economy was great, we were getting out of COVID, all he had to do was nothing, he then handed over his administration back to Obama's hand picked staff who got a home in DC just to whisper in the ear of Joe.

Do you think people want 8 more years of (Michelle) Obama? (Hillary) Clinton? Who would be a feasible candidate that's not to the left of what Biden made himself out to be? They threw out the Kennedy family name because he wasn't woke enough for them. Do you think Cheney would've pulled any votes?

Even if you get someone like Walz or Shapiro earlier, you end up allowing the opposition to pick that candidate apart, actually fact check them, actually investigate them, we didn't really get that with Harris-Walz, nobody knew until the debate that Walz was a frequent flyer to China, even after the debate nobody knew he has an entire second family he made with a CCP party official - talk about compromised. Give 2 more months and that becomes a huge scandal, even if the legacy media doesn't report on it, Shapiro has similar serious allegation skeletons in his closet, besides the fact he's a Jew which means Democrats in Michigan, Philadelphia and the West Coast won't turn out for him.

Welllllll....
I couldn't have been more wrong in my predictions. So eating crow for breakfast this morning.

DITTO. I really thought the razor thin polls were the result of some "fixing" and she would pull off the victory.

Not so much crow for me though. Just plenty of Ibuprofen. Didn't think one would get such a horrible headache from Macallan 18. (Eat your heart out, Tony!)

Lett's see what Trump will do in the first 90 days in Office:

Do you think he'll be issuing his Executive Decisions from Rikers Island?

3rdgen

Doc,

Trump issuing Executive decisions from Rikers? LOL

He will Pardon himself

Biden should have stepped aside earlier if they wanted Harris to have a better chance. Israel and Russia have taken full advantage of a perceived political softness of Biden - who was virtually retired while still in office.

The pendulum of the world has shifted to the point where I think that a lot of people who previously despised Trump are happy to see him win.
