Congratulations America - you got the president you deserve

The US was a laughingstock while Trump was president, and it will be again.
Ah well. Time for China to take the lead, I guess. We had our run.
I’ve heard this, I’ve read this but there’s a lot to fix so when will there be time. That might sound Pollyanna-ish, but I’m genuinely wondering if there will be time for personal vendettas. Are you thinking the next four years will be Trump exacting revenge and the country will suffer more?
Well, given that he did very little during his last presidency, and most of his scheduled time was either golf or "executive time" (his aide's euphemism for watching TV) - yes, he will have time. None of the things that he promised that required work, like replacing the Affordable Care Act or passing an infrastructure bill, were accomplished.
Yep. He has stated several times that he has an enemies list, and he will be going after them. As a simple example, he's threatened to build concentration camps for illegal immigrants and put them there.

Actually….
No it wasn’t inflation was down, employment was up, there were no wars, and the lambs were skipping happily in the fields. Unfortunately China gave the world covid and allowed the crazies to go mental on the people by locking them in their homes, and forcing them to put strange stuff into their bodies.
I think this new government will do wonders for America, and the world. But we’ll have to wait and see.
China now has to behave to itself now that Trump is back.
Regarding that governer who wants the 10 commandments in all schools in his constituency, good on him. He is thinking about the right way for children to grow up, which is better for the country, and the world as a whole.
But I would hardly call that religion
Do you know what religion is?
Because hundreds of thousands were dying of COVID and the economy was locked down.
China gave Trump millions while he was president. Trump is bought and paid for. "I like President Xi a lot, he was a very good friend of mine during my term."
Ah, so you now admit that the government is importing religion into schools.
Will be fun to see your reaction when a schoolroom puts up the precepts of Satanism on the wall.

Texas school curriculum proposal
You guys aware of this? https://www.texastribune.org/2024/07/19/texas-christianity-school-curriculum-worries/ Aron Ra, an excellent science communicator posted on his site. When you have Christians and pastors who strongly object to an education policy regarding religion, in Texas, that has...

The voice of reason as usual.
I was not happy Labour got in but there was no point in bleating about it.
Let's see what they do before assuming the worst.
Bleating. That’s a word we Americans don’t use much, if at all but I’m gonna start!
In other news, CA was to vote this week on “Prop 6,” which is an amendment to “end slavery” or forced labor in state prisons (involuntary servitude) as punishment for inmates who are incarcerated. Right now, as I understand it, inmates don’t have a choice, they can’t refuse to work or they’ll be disciplined. This was supposed to end that but there is more opposition to ending it. In other words, it sounds like the majority of Californians who have voted, don’t want to abolish this - I think it was coupled with a minimum wage attachment. I’m on my phone otherwise, I’d post an article about it, but maybe someone can shed some light on it, here. The wording alone is disturbing - “involuntary servitude.”
I don't feel any need to really defend my assertion that they're "overwhelmingly bad and/or stupid", but, seriously? I mean...
But really, I'd just love to hear some more of JamesR's faith-based defenses that it's something else.

He was also the monger that fueled that shit. Liability belongs to him. If only we had some sort of precedent.
Oh, wait. Nuremberg.
Arrest Trump when more than 50% of voters have just lawfully elected him as their President? That's crazy talk. It would cause a civil war.
This is the kind of triumphal gloating that we saw from MAGA supporters back in 2016, too. It took four years for the reality checks to start to sink in.
This time around, things will be worse.

There are people stupid enough to vote for Trump and there are people stupid enough not to learn the lessons of results like this. OK, as you were...
By the way, it wouldn't surprise me at all if 4 years of Trump turns out better than 4 years of Harris would have (but there is no way to know).

If Trump implements all his tariffs, the main effect for Americans will be that prices of consumer goods will rise across the board. We'll see how his supporters feel about that in a year or two.
Absolutely. Her lack of a clearly communicated plan to ease the pressures on working-class Americans was a big mistake.
Trump ran a scare campaign focused on immigration and "enemies" from within and without. But he also made some empty promises about how life would be better for regular Americans under him and lots of people bought into that.
Yes.
What will now happen is that Trump and the Republican party claim credit for all the economic improvements that have already been happening for over a year but which your average Trump voter hasn't become aware of quite yet.
I have no idea what you're talking about. It sounds like you might be buying Tiassa's bullshit.
Seriously? You don't remember a thread in which you participated like two weeks ago?
Supremacism and Priority: Republicans and the American Right Wing
You never responded to my posts, so I assumed that you accepted my characterization.
In short, when all the evidence points to badness and/or stupidity--and that "inherently evil" nonsense was your strawman, btw--that's what you go with. If you insist on believing otherwise, you are acting on faith.
