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

[Greg Bobkin]

No argument about it.

It's still hilarious though.

Meh. People can react however they want to. If they can monetise their sorrow and despair (I assume that's the whole point in lots of cases - I've not seen any of the videos), then good for them.

And if people on the other 'side' are entertained and moved to give them abuse for it, then it's a win-win situation!

These next four years are going to be a wild time for fans of schadenfreude.

And shock - they all have weird coloured hair and are difficult to tell if they’re trying to be a man or a women.

And so it begins....

Democrats might not be in the dire position they are had the DNC and Dem establishment continually sabotaged Bernie over the years. One of the very few decent politicians that had a chance to beat Trump

And so it begins....

Only (at least) four more years to go.

And shock - they all have weird coloured hair and are difficult to tell if they’re trying to be a man or a women. Attention seekers with mental illness and camera phones don’t go well!

The President elect has weird colour hair and wears thick orange makeup.

Indeed, secondary effects from simple policies will be there, some are obvious really, others are hidden for now.
Eg Tariffs on imported goods from China could essentially be paid for by...US citizens. Ok, China may lose some business,and US manufacturers/ importers may lose some profit margin, but consumers will certainly pay something!
You're right, it's going to be interesting.

Guardian offers therapy to staff after ‘devastating’ Trump election win

Newspaper vows to support workforce following Republican candidate’s ‘upsetting’ victory

You’ve read some stuff on Twitter and don’t get what’s happening and how we have to draw the line somewhere to stop going too far with this woke nonsense. Glad Trump got in for this reason, and to stop radical leftists who can’t answer what a women is into power. Plus the meltdown and assumptions are fun.

Without using the word woke can you explain what the 'nonsense' is that you are complaining about?

Can you also provide a link to someone credible who believes said nonsense so we know you are not just shouting at clouds.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Just a thought this morning, with so many Anti Trump people in the mainstream media/arts, Kimmel, De Niro, Clooney, SNL etc, now, with his second clear mandate from the US electorate, will he go after these people?

I cannot see it. He might openly criticise them and maybe get into a war of words, but they hold power themselves and I cannot see anything beyond this.

We really must not suggest that these people are stupid or that it would have been prudent to look a little deeper into what you are voting for.

 

[BBassic]

This has to be fake

Thus far only reported by right wing media but it appears to be based from a leaked email to Guardian staff which encourages staff, if they feel they need help, to use their already existing Employee Assistance Programmes which offer, amongst other things, counselling.

As ever the headline is clickbait.

 

[Bozza]

Jimmy Kimmel is a certifiable idiot. Not someone you’d want to hang your hat on…

I’m not hanging my hat on Jimmy Kimmel.

His list of people and groups that Trump’s presidency is likely to be bad for is one I would have written myself.

It’s one a lot of people would write.

 

[Brovion]

Anyway, I finally voted in the poll. I reckon Trump's gonna do it ...

 

[A1X]

Ah the patronising left if anyone disagrees with their opinion or dismantles it with facts. I understood it perfectly thanks.

So what’s your definition of a women then?

Anyone who’s not a man.

Fingers crossed. Would be hilarious. Fck around and find out ......

All that is depressing on at least two levels. First, when I'm actually reading what these people are saying in a matter of fact way, and then when I'm considering that some or all of it may not actually be real.

They hold zero power Vs the POTUS.
