As of yesterday...america no longer exists to me. you all chose between a prosecutor and a criminal and you chose the criminal. its sad. I will no longer refer to america as a nation with intelligence. For him to convince some of you that the vote was rigged and yet convinced you all to vote and not have the contradiction split your head in two is just baffling to me.

Oh no, some guy from Scotland is done with America. Why not concern yourself with, I don't know, SCOTLAND? Who gives a shit.

Under Project 2025 it will be illegal for minors to have social media. And that's a good thing.

Do these Scottish lads have a loicense for complaining about America at the internet?

I don't necessarily disagree that minors shouldn't have access to social media. My peers are perpetually addicted to social media, while I have none and feel all the better for it. I'm glad I didn't grow up with a phone in my hand. Nevertheless, something like this goes against the philosophy of parents having more control over their childrens' actions, which is usually what conservatives attempt to propagate. And something like this could definitely be seen as government censorship or overregulation depending on the context.
What does that make this, then? An interpretive silver lining to the massive looming cloud that is P25? I've read the manifesto end to end--any possible benefits are completely quashed by the crushing censorships and discriminations that P25 will undoubtably implement.

Internet censorship and internet centralization are already a thing. And there are many internet tourists who support the abolish of internet anonymity and internet cancel culture. That's why I don't give a shit about their motives for banning minors from social media. Let's give them a taste of what they support!

Businesses stay in business by finding the most efficient ways to manufacture a product or provide services. Not a single past president was willing to tell China to knock it off with the slave camps... until now.

You know, Trump winning is very good on one front: now we get to see what happens. The arguments don't matter anymore, it doesn't matter if you think that when Trump says he's gonna do something dumb/horrific, that he's telling the truth or that he's a liar. If Harris won, I believe that would be far better but it would always be hypothetical as to how far Trump would go. Now we get to see.

Not that it'll change anyone's minds, we're long past that. Trump could pledge undying allegiance to Putin and send American troops to aid Russia against Ukraine and all the arguments about excessive involvement there would morph into something even dumber to keep up.

But hey, if we were wrong and Trump was lying when [insert incoming catastrophe of your choice here]? Great! Can't wait to see him be an effective world leader and not destroy everything he touches, that would be nice. But otherwise, I guess being right is some small consolation, congratulations for being able to spot the most blatant political scheming that the average American voter apparently couldn't.

@JuanMena Same story as with Clinton. Polls favored her, Trump still won. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

When GAFAS lied concerning polls and trying to INFLUENCED The population's mind, it was for giving a BIG chance for the democrats with who they work with!!! All BIG BOSSES of GAFAS are DEMOCRATS, ALMOST ALL except Musk and some fews ........Do you gamers realized this?? If I say for example Krusty the clown is very near concerning votes to TRUMP, of course Krusty will gets some vote because speaking of him increased his chances a LOT to be elected!!
GAFAS are GUILTY of the division of people in Americans' minds, much more that Head opponent in earch camps!! There are also the reason of so much WOKISM!! ELon Musk shouldn't have took the Disney Channel for his Kid when he was watching TV as a kid, it was one BIG mistake!!

this was a conspiracy
While federal aid shouldn't have anything to do with political affiliations, ever, you can't just post that without the added context of multiple armed citizens threatening and trying to implement scare tactics on innocent FEMA volunteers in North Carolina. To the point of being arrested. And these people were pro-Trump, so. So if you're a FEMA worker in Florida, you might be wary of your team being in sketchy situations, of course. It doesn't excuse it, but the fact that FEMA workers have to be nervous of people trying to casually flaunt their weapons while FEMA is assessing damages and payouts...speaks for itself.

I heard Trump was selling $100k Swiss made watches, that were really made in a Wyoming shopping mall. At least they were "Swiss" made in the USA I guess.

I am holding everyone here responsible for the death of net neutrality, the death of the environment, the deaths of millions due to the outlaw of vaccines, and the death of federal protections against segregation, when all of those things inevitably happen. Maybe not in the next 4 years, but by god, it definitely will later down the line, all because of this election cycle. All because of people like you. You will find some way to defend those things as either:
  1. Not being real,
  2. Not being Trump's fault,
  3. Not being a big deal, or
  4. Being a good thing actually.
Just today, I saw someone say Trump isn't sexist, all because he just hired a woman as his chief of staff. Disregarding literally every single sexist comment he's made and action he's done since, what, the 80s? Apparently you people operate under the outdated assumption that bigotry is not an institution, and that affording certain groups basic civil liberties means it doesn't exist. The mindset of "racism ended in the 60s". You can't fathom the idea of sexism having more nuance than the cartoonish scenario of beating your wife and telling her to get back in the kitchen.

You'll eventually start to wonder why the only friends you have are people who only get their news and information from conservative conspiracy-theory echo chambers, just like you do. You'll start to wonder why you can't form any kind of meaningful relationship with a woman, because you're either on the "sigma grindset" or you think you're too much of an "alpha male" for them to handle. And finally, you'll start to wonder how deep the "woke agenda conspiracy" goes if everyone on the entire fucking planet, save similar socially-backwards countries like Russia or China, is telling you you're wrong.

I'm done humoring this "respect other people's views" bullshit. I'm done with right-wing acceptance. There are right and wrong answers, good and bad solutions, to almost every single political problem in America, and I'm tired of pretending there aren't.

It makes Trump a hypocrite as he benefitted from overseas labor and too many of you are happy to overlook it.
overlook it like this? Hypocrisy much



Like J-Lo's skin care line is made in the USA. Oh yeah they are made by this company...

https://www.guthy-renker.com/home/code-of-conduct/

This really reads like they are made right here in the old USA with no slave labor whatsoever.

Delusional liberals clinging to their role as moral arbiters until the chickens come home to roost

In the illustrious words of Dennis Leary...



Update: Had wrong Sunny Hostin video....my apologies libs

Again, not engaging in the debate, but just leaving this here:
Our former prime minister has just endorsed Trump.

This same prime minister has:
- been found to volunteer for the Communist secret service
- lied to the point of a website existing that cites 100 of his lies, each having sources for both the claim and the refutation
- implemented a hard requirement for every store to implement internet transaction tracking machines, which bankrupted thousands of small businesses
- bought and owns half of our media outlets, and owns a vast majority of companies making bread products, meat and milk products
