Day one priority list:

Persecute foreign people - tick
Persecute trans people - tick
Ensure I can execute people - tick
Sound hard and tough - tick

The economic problems? You remember - Those things that enough idiots blaming Biden for got you elected?
No? Oh well, I guess they'll have to wait to see if you ever get bored of role playing your mate Vlad. My guess is you won't.

Seems Trump wants to end birthright citizenship, ie the children of undocumented migrants living in the US will no longer automatically be considered US citizens.

But its is enshrined in the US constitution, an executive order won't cut it

To remove it would require a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress, as well as being ratified by three-quarters of state legislatures.

Gonna be interesting how "small government" is going to deport to these illegals. They will need government to get much much bigger

Ocasio-Cortez will not attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, adding that she does not “celebrate rapists.”
Good. No one should be watching or streaming the shit either. Participate in feeding the ego of this guy, its a no for me.

I bet the Yanks are super excited to wake up to $1 eggs tomorrow. It was the price of eggs they were fuming about wasn't it?

I'm sure Trump'll fix it.

It ensures it's leader cannot be held accountable for ANYTHING, with new laws encompassesing past and future coming soon
Biden could shoot Trumpy 5 mins before being sworn in and he's be immune from prosecution. Ridiculous.....

It's funny how Musk was actually an illegal immigrant at one point. He arrived on a student visa in 1992, but didn't get American citizenship until 2002. His brother has admitted as such.
I wonder what will happen when Trump and Musk fall out, which they surely will?

Oh you can be absolutely certain, in that hypothetical scenario, those "President is immune from basically pissing everything" laws wouldn't count.

The other way round? Different matter entirely.

It wasn't Donald trump who pardoned Hunter Biden for every crime he has committed over the past 10 years, including those that haven't come to light yet.

I think we can all agree that the British do these things in a far more grand and spectacular manner. This sounds like a fairground from the 1960's. No history or sense of pageantry.

Looking at Trump's God awful family, Vance and Musk and Zuckerberg is enough to bring up a little bit of sick. And that's before they just said Infantino is there 🤮 Heaven help America and the world. I guess we just have to hope that somehow these ghouls aren't as bad as we fear and we all come out the other side.

Well at least we don't have to listen anymore when they go on about how much better they are than the rest of us....

America as a country and culture is forever stained by this election. It's spent two centuries lecturing the world about the American Dream - meritocratic values, freedom and opportunity for all who wish to better themselves, under-pinned by a belief in democratic institutions and the rule of law. Turns out that if you have enough money and power, political & corrupt justices will ignore or remove the legal barriers that would have prevented a seditionist, convicted criminal and court confirmed sex offender from running for the highest office. Then the country will have no problem voting him in.

Who would ever be able to take it seriously were they to make another 'Mr Smith Goes To Washington'? 'All the President's Men'? '12 Angry Men'? , 'Erin Brockovic'? even 'Home Alone'? All those WWII films? All those Westerns? All those Superhero films? All those teen comedies where the underdogs defeat the rich bullies? The bleedin' West Wing!! Their film and TV culture has been crammed with works of art that celebrate how America uniquely allows the little person, against all of the odds, to defeat an all powerful and corrupt foe. This result is proof that enough of them are willing to sell all of these celebrated ideals for just the hope and promise of a bit of short term extra cash. They've voted to put the bully in charge of the ski resort; to support the outlaws attacking the farmer's village; for a stronger policeman who will ensure that Rick can't help Laszlo and Ilsa to get on that plane.

The country has completed ceded any moral highground it ever had. The World's longest standing democracy has confirmed that it's democratic values have always taken second place behind it's materialistic values. America is, and always has been, Gordon Gecko in Shane's clothing and anytime in the future that they pretend otherwise, the rest of the world can just play it's Trump card.
