Today is a sad day for the USA. It represents a temporary win of greed, racism, sexism and xenophobia over all reasonable moral, democratic, and patriotic values.
Nothing succeeds like success and although I have been a liberal all my life - our moronic and incapable leaders have lost miserably in 2024. Our downfall did not happen in 2024 but it started in 2021 when Biden was slow in prosecuting Trump and failed to visibly demonstrate his accomplishments. Instead, he made it worse by nominating transgenders in his administration, waiting student loans and pushing the DEI shit too far. We stupid liberals gave conservatives too much ammunition to destroy us. Freaking student loan waivers? I worked for 6 months and went back to school for 6 months to avoid taking a single penny in loans. What about me and millions of others who honestly paid loans back? I was thinking Biden would begin giving free housing, food and money to all teenage mothers and pardon all prisoners convicted of heinous crimes next.
But don't underestimate Kamala Harris' accomplishment. Just like Hillary Clinton did in 2016, Kamala Harris gave the White House to Trump on a silver platter. Kamala would not have been nominated through the regular nomination process by winning primaries. It was not in her. I realized it the day she was appointed by Biden.
But that's what we get when our weak generals lose a war. Mayhem follows, our agenda takes a back seat and our suffering begins. Follow weaklings like Biden and Harris and we will continue getting these failures. I want Kamala Harris to completely disappear from the news - forever.
I will predict more misery for us. Marco Rubio will win the White House in 2028 for 8 years. Please thank the dumbfucks like Biden, Harris and the socialist hero of all - Bernie. He turned the liberals off with his socialist rants and caused the biggest Democrat cross-over since Reagan. I am going to call them Bernie-Republicans.
Finally, a Democrat supporter who self reflects rather than blame all else. I think the DNC is what needs major reform for the Democrat party to reinvent itself. Oligarchs control that institution and a great shame Bernie didn't have the backbone to challenge the DNC who were firmly backing HR Clinton.
Rubio as potus? Can't see it. Tulsi Gabbard is future presidential material, but I think JD Vance will take over the reins from Trump in four years. That's if the states remain united.
This sad day came about because all of the red hat wearers were trained well. We must ask ourselves what other president we have had who had periodic rallies to train others, sold watches, shoes, and other things on the side to make money, made fun of our military dead and crippled people, etc. and a vast majority of us saw nothing wrong with him or his actions. The way I see it the monster is back and his next 4 years will be an atermpt to totally destroy my way of life. My retirement is my Social Security.
It's a 2 edged sword. Where I live the apartment complex has 176 1 bedroom units. It is for 55 and older and people with disabilities. We ALL get either SS or SSI plus the goody bag of extra benefits if you are really low low income. The MAGA are many and they could be in a world of hurt and they voted for it. Zero fucks to give. The ones here who need the benefits never voted blue and read project 2025 are really scared. I tried to educate several of the ones who would have voted for Biden but were never gonna vote for a silly laughing woman. They rattled off ALL the FOX talking points. I could not break through that wall of FOX stupid.
If you don't attribute any blame on the Biden admin, then the democratic party will be lost in the wilderness for many decades to come. Ffs democrats, look in the mirror, a bit of self reflection goes a long way.
Do you know whom I blame for the rise of Trump? The DNC for shafting Sanders who would have beaten Trump straight up, ending his political career.
Why would Biden issue a pre-emptive pardon for his wife do you think? Must be for moral, patriotic or democratic reasons I gather.
Perhaps she's been shagging RJK or Trump even?
If a deranged vengeful narcissist like Trump were taking over, I would preemptively pardon my cat just to be sure. The man has a record of wanting arrests before any proof of wrongdoing and now the raptors have learnt how to open the door handles.
@273kelvin Then you are not fit to be a president with that preconception. A US potus only job is to defend the Constitution, not undermine the laws of the land. All these pre-emptive pardons illustrate is even the president cannot trust the US legal system so must abuse their power to avoid it.
Not a good look really, can you admit that?
NB Trump is psycho which means totally pragmatic and will act in the moment. You will find he has no loyalties and therefore holds no grudges. His flaw is foresight and hindsight is lacking and he has no idea how people react emotionally as he thinks people will act logically instead. Have you worked out Biden isn't exactly Mr Empathy either. Hillary Clinton sure as shit is more psycho than Trump, just ask Libya.
Jan 6th is a classic example eg have enough court cases disputing results and the VP can not accept the results until cases determined; a good logical and legal plan in a psycho's mind. But people didn't act logically did they? They saw the transfer of power being politicised, got all emotional and went ape shit.
Trump pledges unity in inaugural address by immediately attacking fellow Americans | Opinion
The longtime con artist – convicted of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records – stood in the Capitol rotunda and inaccurately claimed: 'The golden age of America begins right now.'
Rex Huppke
USA TODAY
An elderly and unpopular felon who narrowly won the popular vote in the 2024 election was sworn in as president of the United States in a tiny ceremony Monday, held indoors because it was slightly chilly outside.
Donald J. Trump, who refused to participate in the peaceful transfer of power when he last left office and fomented a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol for which he was never held accountable, swore to protect America from enemies, foreign and domestic, while somehow managing to not laugh at the suckers who just returned him to power.
Wholly disregarding nearly half of American voters who strongly opposed and feared his candidacy, Trump harnessed the power of unbridled narcissism to keep a straight face while hilariously saying: "For American citizens, January 20, 2025, is liberation day."
trump DID NOT win the popular vote!! The final count shows he got LESS than 50% of the votes! Biden got less than trump only because there were votes casts for someone other than Biden or a conman.
trump does not have a mandate.
conman 49.71%
Harris 48.24%
Other 2.00%
I've enjoyed watching the smiling faces of young Palestinian ladies today.
They won't last long.
I see Trump has lifted sanctions against Israeli Jewish settlers Commiting West Bank atrocities. He's not going to stop fueling the anti semitic genocide in the middle East. But of course he can claim that it's not an American war.
I just wish someone would get it through his skull that his proposal of maga at the expense of other nations does nothing other than prove he is fulfilling Cipollo's definition of #stupidity.
@FrayedBear He's still a yank stuck in their exceptional/ indispensable nation bollocks.
