I am not at all a Trump supporter. I am not a Democrat, nor am I a Republican. I just don't like bullshit from either side.
It's easy to blame everything bad on Trump. But in doing so, it's easy to miss where we actually went wrong.
This election is entirely the result of Democrats doing stupid things.
That is entirely on Democrats, and RBG in particular. She wanted to be a Supreme Court justice ushering in the first female president? Really?
The US constitution is designed to leave things like this up to the states. Roe v. Wade was a gift, and Democrats failed to hold onto it.
What is it with old Democrat farts who refuse to admit that it's time to retire?
Was it Trump's fault? Any Republican would've nominated a right-leaning justice, that is just how the game is played, and Democrats f***ed this one.
A vote for the opposing party is a vote against democracy? What kind of bullshit is that? That alone should make everyone turn their nose.
Controlling the country via a puppethead leader? Check. Appointing the next president bypassing primaries, check. Controlling the media, check. Deals with large corporate interests, check. Going after opposition with secret police, check. Who is interfering with democracy again?
Boy they got this wrong.
"I am not Trump" is not enough to run on.
I know they still can't believe what happened, but it was pretty obvious. Harris is a horrible person. She is a prosecutor. Maybe it's OK in DC, but to many it's an automatic nope. She is a terrible liar. She is incredibly stupid, incapable of forming a sentence without a teleprompted and a communicator stuck in her ear -- and even then, she just spouted garbage most of the time.
In spite of a billion dollar campaign, she was unable to make herself likeable. That is because she is anything but. You can see her squirming every time she enters the room.
You'd think they would be better prepared for this, but... Why was she admitted to law school under a 'hardship' scholarship when she insists she is 'middle class' and her parents are tenured professors? Why are there photos of random black people in her autobiography? Why did she cover up for Biden's mental deficiency? Why are there communication devices in her ears?
Was it smart to bypass primaries -- a simple democratic process which lets people decide who should represent their party? It would have helped democrats, but not necessarily the star chamber controlling Biden. Finding another cockroach that can be driven around and say what they need is incompatible with democracy, and they did not choose democracy.
Checks and balances, people. Let your party skip them at your own peril.
What a clown. Really, people? Did anyone really think he would bring sure victory?
A billion dollars should be able to pay for better research. But when you are totally corrupt and full of hubris, reality does not matter. You live in the same echo chamber you devise for your constituents, and after a while you forget there is a reality out there.
For me this rings Clinton. Once again, she underestimated the 'basket of deplorables' who need to be told what to do. "If we can't control the media, it will be fake news". Really.
Let the press repeat it and it makes it real. If anyone questions what you do, it's fake news.
Sure, prices are up but you are better off! Really? Can you convince people they are better off economically when they are not and they know it? When we go food shopping, do we say "boy, I can afford so much more than I did 5 years ago!"...
They thought it would be a close race, but surely they would win, controlling the media and all. I am glad Americans are not all brainwashed idiots.
Trump was found guilty of a bunch of stuff no one has ever been convicted of, but the real criminal is Biden. Receiving bribes from foreign countries should be enough to put him up against the wall, but instead FBI and the press cover up "the Big Guy" and his "family businesses". There are benefits to being made.
Of course he probably doesn't know where he is anymore, but his family surely should be jailed. Along with Pelosi, who was passing laws while her husband made millions on option trades.
Biden was actually proud about spending more money than any of his predecessors. Great! Who wants another term of that?
Lies are coming out monthly, stating how so many jobs were created. Later they get revised down, when no one is looking. 8 out of 11 of the last job reports were revised down.
Two sequential down quarters of GDP growth are called a recession. Revised away after the fact. No recession happened, people! Nothing to look at here.
Ukraine is entirely on this administration. Harris openly baited Ukraine to run a proxy war, promising Nato membership.
So many people died because of this. And money we don't have keeps pouring out into a bottomless hole.
Israel? That's probably happening no matter who is in charge.
I doubt it. Nothing too terrible happened the first time. Less money spent. Fewer people killed.
It's good to change the corrupt bastards at the top. Otherwise they get really comfortable up there, and the corruption goes exponential. This way, at least, they have to start from zero.
Maybe even something good will happen. These 'swamp-drainers' have nothing to lose this term - they were never an accepted part of the establishment. Maybe Musk will sober up and figure out how to dismantle hundreds of blood-sucking Federal agencies that are spending billions to screw things up for all of us. Maybe RFK will get rid of the FDA and end the reign of Big Pharma.
But somehow I doubt that either.
