What comes next after the Trump win?

[crazyfingers]

Why do Republicans hate fact checking? Because lying is their game. Their entire game. For years Republicans have regarded facts as liberal.

Not fact checking is one thing, not a good one, but it is one thing.

Facebook has a tendency of shoving the misinformation into people's feeds. They are promoting it for advertising dollars. Likely not doing it intentionally. But effectively, they are hitting baseballs towards the next door neighbor's home. They aren't purposefully trying to break a window or the siding... but it is going to happen.

Is making gargantuan amounts of money that important?

One more reason that I've never liked Facebook

What kind of commie are you??

Well, let's see. He's going to take over Greenland, and the Panama Canal, make Canada a state and wreak more havoc in the Mideast. Or so he says. Is this why people voted for the cruel, mindless idiot?

 

[ideologyhunter]

They voted for him because otherwise Pennsylvania wouldn't be called Pennsylvania anymore.

I think there are things Biden could have done better, but the one thing he did well was not making my brain hurt with the latest "what the fuck is he on about now" moments that Trump seems to have every or every other day. And now, the Gulf of Mexico?!

“We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,” Trump said at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. “ … What a beautiful name, and it’s appropriate.”

I don't fucking care about the Gulf of Mexico. The United States has about 10 years before Social Security hits a wall. We are going to be running out of nursing room beds. We need our economy to continue moving forward. And this asshole is talking about Canada as a 51st State, renaming Denali and the Gulf of Mexico... like any of these things are either achievable (Canada) or remotely of any importance whatsoever.

It is like he is trying to substitute governance with hollow patriotism.

Key word is "hollow".
He is an empty shell.
Void of any real humanity.
An example of why legacy wealth is bad for society.

What was it going to be called, Pennsyltucky?

I imagined it as 'PENNSYLVANKA....where dream honeymoons come true!'

It's going to be a really long 4 years unless he finally kicks the bucket. He is idiocy, chaos and evil all in one package.

But, I'm not sure that Vance will be any better, maybe worse.

Better, in the long run.
Few people are mesmerized by Vance’s golden locks, sky blue eyes, billions of dollars and bombastic threats. The cult will fall apart when Trump croaks.

Well, if those actions don't bring down the price of eggs, I don't know what will!

I sure hope so, but he may do a lot of damage in the short term, if Orange Jesus goes quickly.

I don't know that Vance could maintain the cult following. I don't think that Vance would have the hold on Republican politicians that Trump has. Who knows? Without Trump the Trump coalition of Christian Nationalists, Megarich and low-info voters could fall apart.

Trump Organization accused of tax evasion in Panama: What we know

A hotel owner has accused Trump of evading millions of dollars in taxes in Panama.

Coincidence? Is this why Trump has a hard on for Panama?

Bait and switch. People paying attention to Trump's stupidity while the Republicans are planning tax cuts for the rich.

Rememeber when Trump was going to fix food and housing prices?

Good times.

If Trump dies Peter Thiel becomes president.

I've learned to stop asking, "how can things get worse", because the universe keeps asking me to hold its beer.

The price of eggs is irrelevent at this point. Last time I went shopping there weren't any! The time before that, I paid $8.99 for a dozen. Thanks Biden!!

With Poe thoroughly broken by the right wing, I have no idea if that "Thanks Biden" is sarcastic or not.
