The Many Faces of US Politics...

[mouview]

Trump did not hide who he is, he made it quite plain and much as I don't like it he reflects the USA as it is.
Non whites voting for him remind me of turkey's and Christmas. Democrats ignored the fact that Biden was deeply unpopular with many demographics and Harris by extension. Many Arab/Muslim Americans seem to have voted Trump as the least worst option. That said the Trump dynasty are odious self serving narcissistic clowns.
Michelle Obama should have stood.

It would have been the same result

Maybe not. Biden gave the Democrats a hospital pass when he stood down and endorsed Harris immediately. Had he not, and allowed the Convention to choose the candidate, it might have chosen Obama instead. There would be clear separation between her and the previous administration and the Obamas would be well-got as they say.

Give the *people what they voted for and give it to them good and hard.
Was it Charlie Haughey said that?

*that's if you can consider Yanks as people. Evolution seems to be reversing at a rate of knots in that stolen territory.

Irish elites having a meltdown over the result is brilliant. 
They really can't handle why someone would vote for Trump.

Not least because these people do not explain very well why they vote for Trump.

[J70]

Both full on America Firsters AND fervent Zionists delighted at the result. Will be interesting to see who's been fooled... as if there's any doubt.

Watch again in this administration how Jews control America (and rest of the West).

This is acceptable on the board now, is it?

It's true.

It's pure, ignorant and bigoted idiocy.

Obviously we will never know but I think the "issues" that people were pissed off with, either real or imagined would still have been there & more star power against Trump wouldn't have mattered.

This is not good for Palestine, not good for Ukraine and the Israeli State will be embolden enough to hit Iran.

At the end of the day I don't think we will ever see a female POTUS in my lifetime and probably far beyond it assuming 2 women don't seek election at same time. To many americans it's a mans job

Henry Louis Mencken. One of many qoutables

H. L. Mencken 1880–1956
American journalist and literary critic

1.     Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another.

Chrestomathy (1949) ch. 30; see Shaw

2.     Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.

Chrestomathy (1949) ch. 30

3.     Bachelors know more about women than married men. If they did not they would be married too.

Chrestomathy (1949)

4.     Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

A Little Book in C major (1916)

5.     Conscience: the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.

A Little Book in C major (1916)

6.     It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics and chemistry.

Notebooks (1956) 'Minority Report'

7.     The fact that I have no remedy for the sorrows of the world is no reason for my accepting yours. It simply supports the strong probability that yours is a fake.

Notebooks (1956) 'Minority Report'

8.     The chief contribution of Protestantism to human thought is its massive proof that God is a bore.

Notebooks (1956) 'Minority Report'

9.     Under democracy one party always devotes its energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule—and both commonly succeed and are right.

Notebooks (1956) 'Minority Report'

10.  The scientist who yields anything to theology, however slight, is yielding to ignorance and false pretences, and as certainly as if he granted that a horse-hair put into a bottle of water will turn into a snake.

Notebooks (1956) 'Minority Report'

11.  There is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong.

Prejudices 2nd series (1920)

12.  Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.

Prejudices 3rd series (1922)

13.  Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.

Prejudices 3rd series (1922)

14.  As democracy is perfected, the office [of president] represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people...On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

in Baltimore Evening Sun 26 July 1920

15.  No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.

in Chicago Tribune 19 September 1926

16.  If there had been any formidable body of cannibals in the country he would have promised to provide them with free missionaries fattened at the taxpayer's expense.

of Harry Truman's success in the 1948 presidential campaign

in Baltimore Sun 7 November 1948

America really is stupid is as stupid does. Democratic Party have only themselves to blame. Was July when Harris was shoehorned in and up against Trump who was already in as president was campaigning for the last 4 years to get back in. The idea she would get a big backing from women voters never materialised.

Even with the billionaire backers behind him it's still remarkable How Trump has made his voters forget about his terrible 4 year term in office and all the nonsense he got up to when Biden beat him.

He's hinted already that this could be the last election so could America have him president until he dies and then his idiot son to take over? His first task will be to pardon himself and his foreign friends Putin, Netanyahu will be over the moon with his re-election.

Tired of seeing this excuse today. Harris only got 53% of the female vote, less than Biden and Obama x 2. She got barely half the female vote in a 2 horse race.
People (generally) don't care if its a man or a woman. If Ivanka had have ran the MAGA people would vote for her.

U.S. support for Israel is:

22,914 total respondents

Too strong 32%
Not strong enough 30%
About right 31%

[Premier Emperor]

Anyone who thinks Harris got hammered for over-supporting Israel is in dreamland.

pro settler Miriam Adelson paid USD 132 million to the Trump campaign. It's like wars in the old days. The sponsors got the riches

Mencken had the quote about democracy and giving it good and hard. He got to see the changeover of power after WW2 when the system was designed for workers and not the rich. He couldn't understand the new system.

It's antisemitism in real life. Jews with money get access to power. The Dems are no better. Blinken is a Zionist. Israel knows how to play the US. The big losers are ordinary dumb voters waiting to the golden age trump promised them
