Now the election is over and joe won and there has been no looting or violence it should show once and for all who the rioters are voting for . What an alliance.
This could have come straight from the mouth of Ian Paisley

You don't get many DUP people on a GAA forum

Who am I to say you shouldn't post here though
truth is truth no matter who's mouth it comes from .
Stupidity is stupidity no matter who's mouth it comes from

Failure to deal with any sort of complexity or nuance is failure to deal with any sort of complexity or nuance no matter who's mouth it comes from

But nobody is surprised when these things come from your mouth

Because your whole life's identity centres around the embrace of stupidity and the rejection of the idea that any sort of complexity or nuance could ever exist

According to your logic, the upholders of apartheid in South Africa were the good guys while those who sought to obliterate it were the bad guys
stupidity is typing pages and pages of scutter every day of the week about politics  in a country you don't live in and maybe have never even been to.
GMac what would you like Biden to do, that could guarantee your vote in 4 years time?

How many hundreds attended the million MAGA march?

The hundred hillbilly march?

The great orange megalomaniac is STILL furiously trying to hang in there, despite loss after loss in the courts and being deserted daily by the lawyers hired to argue his "case". One or two GOPers starting to recognize Biden, but f**k me they're a cynical, craven, gutless rabble.

And thank f**k the 2600 votes they found on the memory card in some Georgia Republican county favoured Trump. Can you IMAGINE if it had been the other way, what Trump, Hannity, Tucker and the rest would be saying??

Lindsey Graham must be one of the most cowardly and pathetic figures in American history

It literally has got to the stage where the Republicans are demanding that votes are tossed out simply because they don't like who they are cast for, enough votes to change the result, in which case the election would not be an election at all, but a dictatorship

This is exactly as Putin wanted

Yep, Graham, formerly the Robin to John McCain's Batman, so critical of Trump in the 2016 primaries that Trump actually tweeted Graham's private mobile phone number so his moronic supporters could ring Graham with abuse and death threats, then turns around and gives Trump a four year blowjob, just so he can retain his political influence in the personality cult.

Ted Cruz is not far behind him. "Lyin' Ted" was so critical of Trump that Trump publicly criticized Mrs. Cruz's looks and claimed that his father was part of the JFK assassination team. Now he too can't bend far enough backwards in service of his master.

While it's certainly not ruled out, I don't think Trump will put himself through another presidential election campaign. However, whoever Trump backs will be a very strong contender for the Republican nomination and I think that's helping him keep a lot of these guys in his pocket. It'll be funny to see Cruz in particular, if Trump eventually ends up backing one of the young Trumps instead!

Apparently Donnie Jr is hoping to capitalize one day in politics on the family "brand". He has the gift for his father's poisonous, fact-free rhetoric. Whether he has the charisma to capture the GOP base remains to be seen.

The favoured child, Ivanka, is a vaccous plank, seemingly caught between her auld lad's obnoxious, outspoken, bigotry and her upper-class socialite tendencies.

Graham must have some serious skeletons in his closet, hard to explain his sycophancy otherwise

Everybody has known he's gay for years but you'd suspect that the threat of something a lot more scandalous than that being released is being held over him

I think Cruz is just a pathetic greasy pole climber with zero principle who still harbours ambitions of going for president, who realises that the Republican party is a fascist party, and if he has to be a fascist to advance career wise, that's what he'll be

I suspect he has what it takes to win a Republican primary, ie. the name "Donald Trump"

But whether he has enough to win a presidential election is another thing entirely, I suspect he'd crash and burn, but one can't be certain because one can't be certain just where this all out right wing disinformation war will have taken America by 2024, it could make 2020 look like a paragon of truth

Don Sr. is obviously extremely charismatic (if he doesn't repel you, that is).  Look at the faces at the front of his rallies--they think he's a rock star.  He's managed to get people out to vote, many of whom would not have bothered. 

The Reps clearly have people who would like to harness this in their favor (including Don Jr.), but nobody has what Don Sr. has, as far as I can see.

Seriously. The conservatives are retreating deeper into their reality-proof echo chambers like Parler. God knows what delusions are passing for beliefs in there. By the time we get to 2024 they'll be spouting so much weird shit that we won't have a clue what they're talking about half the time.

I wouldn't put it past him to lob a few missiles at Iran just for the craic.

Called it.

New York Times: Trump asked advisers about possible strike on Iranian nuclear site

"There would be some meltdowns from the libtards here if he nuked Iran, it'd be hilarious  ;D ;D ;D"

Now he's sacked Chris Krebs, the admin cybersecurity  official who said last week that the election was secure and there was no evidence of widespread fraud.

Trump is truly a loathsome, pathetic, scummy little worm.
