[Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

[BadFish]

Awful result for decent people everywhere. Vindication for all the worst people in the world. I suppose at least it seems that it's a fairly decisive result so they will just have to be left to get on with it and hope that things don't end up as bad as all right minded people think that they will. Not sure I really want to live in a world where morons outnumber the decent any more though.

Those decent people have been naughty, naughty girls and now Daddy is home to give them a spanking.

From what I am watching it is largely down to the economic belief that people will be better off with Trump.

The idea that a man who has bankrupted basically every business he's been involved in, including a f***ing casino, has any idea about sound economics is just laughable.

Said it a few pages back: idiot Yanks.

I think the worst part of it will be smug Farage the work shy twat

Maybe you have to hit rock bottom bottom before you can start rising again. Hopefully there is still sonething left of the US and the World in 4 year's time...Trouble is Putin can do what he wants, expect liberal, West leaning democracies in Eastern Europe to be snuffed out.

FOOKING GET IN
WHAT A NIGHT. ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED IT. THE SENATE AND HOUSE ALSO IN REPUBLICAN HANDS

GOING TO CELEBRATE THIS RED WAVE TONIGHT.

MAGA FOREVER

The Senate is now under GOP control but the house is still up for grabs (and the final picture probably won't be known for days).

Ability and achievements mean nothing anymore. The only thing that means anything is the PR and ceremony. Feelings over facts every time!

Presidency is gone, the senate is gone, pro Putin bullshitting idiots like MTG, Lauren Boebart and Matt Gaetz all relected. It is a total unmitigated disaster. The only slender hope of anything positive is if the Dems can take the house to try and block these total lunatics. If house goes too and Trump has both houses, that is literally it.

The end of the constitution, the end of the US democracy experiment, the end of free press and the US will also become an oligharchic authoritarian dictatorship.

Putin will be doing cartwheels, NATO will be reeling and we're in un-chartered territory.

I think its no exaggeration to say that 6th Nov 2024 is the beginning of the end of the world as we once knew it.

 

[sparkie]

Bleak.

Hopefully he’ll just spend the next 4 years pardoning himself for his multiple convictions plus pardoning those convicted for the January 6th insurrection and won’t do any actual POTUS stuff.

Who or what do you think is responsible for there being more morons than decent folk, i’d have thought it’s always been the case

Morons breed more. They lack the judgement and foresight to plan ahead.

It’s not a good long term direction for the human race and will probably lead to its extinction in the next century or so. But what’s the alternative? Probably something like Nazism where you have a master race and a moronic, almost slave like class underneath. That’s even worse.

America is a rich country but every billionaire is a failure of the system.

A lot of people feel left behind and they are left vulnerable to dishonest actors.

It is a great day for the likes of Bezos and Musk they will only take more and more of the pie.

Clearly, this election has been stolen!!

STOP. THE. STEAL! STOP. THE. STEAL!

I hope Trump wins. He will out Russia/Ukraine rather than escalating things which is in all our interests. No coincidence that this didn't happen under his watch.

Of course you do. You know why? It’s because you’re a bitter old racist ****.

Harris has also shown a distinct lack of ability and achievement. There must have been plenty of Democrat candidates who could have put up a better show, but they didn't pick them.

As for the safety of Ukraine being at threat, don't place too much reliance on having a Democrat president. Putin invaded Ukraine when Obama was president, and he did it again when Biden was president. Whether or not he is frightened of Trump, he surely would not have been frightened of Harris.

Can you imagine worse people being in control of the economy in bad times?

Silly twits.

 

[A1X]

Now a straight race to the finish as to what kills us first between Putin and the climate catastrophe.

Trump won't lift a finger to stop either.

 

[Chicken Run]

Of course you do. You know why? It’s because you’re a bitter old racist ****.

That really isn’t necessary

Calm down dear.

Wow. Speechless.
