2024 US Presidential Election

[ZFire]

I don't think anyone said that "all" Trump voters were idiots, but it's true that the low IQ, low information voter was more likely to vote for Trump. Polls showed college graduates voted more for Harris. States with fewer college graduates went for Trump. Trump voters think Trump will lower their grocery prices when he's actually going to cause an increase in inflation with his policies, take away their healthcare coverage, and cut Social Security and Medicare.

We have an extremely uninformed electorate, generally speaking. Truth doesn't matter, and facts don't mean anything. It's as simple as that.

Watching interviews, exit polls, and these post election discussions, it's honestly troubling. You have Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan, voting for the Muslim ban guy just to send a message to Biden and Harris about Gaza. You have immigrants saying that Trump won't come after them or their families (undocumented ones) because "they are one of the good ones." You have women trusting Trump won't ban abortion nationwide. You have college kids saying they voted for Trump simply because he appeared on Joe Rogan. You have many people googling "did Joe Biden drop out?" on Election night. Like seriously, there's no rationalizing this.

Democrats show too much respect for the American people and their intelligence. The Republicans know most people are gullible fools, so they take advantage of it to great success.

Now, MAGA cultists, on the other hand, are a whole other breed of stupid. It's the sheer confidence in their ignorance and stupidity that amazes me the most about these people. They spout their misinformation, lies, and delusional ideas with massive pride. It's almost impressive.

They are a lost cause:

Why do you think that the smaller population makes it hard to compare Norway to the US with respect to the policies I mentioned?

Nah. I believe it's more likely that he simply forgot the word "Caucasians" but remembered that he shouldn't say "Aryans." I doubt that he'd have any such inhibitions today.

Norway is a small country that has different requirements to handle the needs of the population than a country the size of the United States.

Redistribution of wealth is Socialism, and we do not want that in America.

I would suggest that you Google "Racism in Norway."

Elon Musk is a genius, and he supported Trump & Vance. People who voted for low-IQ Harris & Walz and their dumb policies can't be too smart. Most Americans wanted a change from the status quo and preferred traditional American values. There will always be sore losers after the Presidential elections.

The size of the country doesn't mean we can't take care of our own citizens.

Right now, we have distribution of wealth to the richest, and people don't want that in America.

I don't normally watch it, but I saw on a late night show them interviewing some Trump supporters. It was amazing how clueless they were. But it's no surprise when you consider how many people were googling on election night asking if Biden had dropped out of the race, despite the big news of him stepping aside months earlier.

Don't worry, your billionaire heroes are going to get all the tax cuts and deregulation they need. You can sleep soundly.

America will take better care of its citizens when the border is closed and the illegals are deported. 85% of voters agree that the border problems must be addressed. Kamala Harris said that everything the Biden administration has done is fine. Is it any surprise that she lost?

Wealth is not "distributed" in a capitalist country the way it is in a socialist one. People flock to the United States; it is the most desirable country to relocate to.

Considering that a 70-hour work week has been common for the past 20 years or more in the United States, some citizens are not on top of everything political, especially regarding Biden - one of the most elusive and worst presidents in history.

America has a 99% literacy rate. It is not very different from most European countries, but needs improvement. According to Trump, the United States spends three times more money on education than any other country, yet is in last place among industrial nations. The meme below is from Elon Musk.

Let's remember that the reason the border and immigration problem continued is because the Republicans wouldn't pass a bipartisan negotiated border deal, combined or later even stand-alone. They were set to do it until Trump requested they drop it so that he could use the issue as a campaign talking point. So, it's clear, he truly has no interest in enforcing border security and will continue to fail on the matter as he did during his first presidency.

No, there will be no mass deportation of 10 million illegal immigrants, maybe a few here and there, but a lot more will keep coming in. But you were one of the many suckers who believed Trump. He will somehow blame the Democrats.

You can't deny that most of the wealth is concentrated with the rich. I think most of us would rather not be giving huge tax cuts to Elon Musk and corporate billionaires while the rest of us are paying more and more after Trump's inflationary tariff taxes.

The literacy rate is nowhere near 99%. As posted earlier, it's about half who have a 6th grade literacy level.

This explains why Trump got a majority of votes, especially among the uneducated, as so many millions voted against their best interest.

House Republican Leadership Statement on Senate Immigration Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Conference Chairwoman Stefanik, Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader Scalise, and Majority Whip Emmer issued the following statement regarding the Senate's immigration bill:

"House Republicans oppose the Senate immigration bill because it fails in every policy area needed to secure our border and would actually incentivize more illegal immigration.

"Among its many flaws, the bill expands work authorizations for illegal aliens while failing to include critical asylum reforms. Even worse, its language allowing illegals to be 'released from physical custody' would effectively endorse the Biden 'catch and release' policy.

"The so-called 'shutdown' authority in the bill is anything but, riddled with loopholes that grant far too much discretionary authority to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas – who has proven he will exploit every measure possible, in defiance of the law, to keep the border open.

"The bill also fails to adequately stop the President's abuse of parole authority and provides for taxpayer funds to fly and house illegal immigrants in hotels through the FEMA Shelter and Services Program.

"Because President Biden has refused to utilize his broad executive authority to end the border catastrophe that he has created, the House led nine months ago with the passage of the Secure the Border Act (H.R. 2). That bill contains the necessary components to actually stem the flow of illegals and end the present crisis. The Senate must take it up immediately.

"America's sovereignty is at stake.

"Any consideration of this Senate bill in its current form is a waste of time. It is DEAD on arrival in the House. We encourage the U.S. Senate to reject it."

A meme with no substance.

The education system has been intentionally sabotaged over time by Corporate interest groups, Christian nationalists, and politicians (mostly your team) who want to undermine public education in favor of privatization. They want to make sure large swathes of the population don't develop critical thinking skills to get people to end up voting against their own best interests. That's one of their main goals.

So it's no accident why a big chunk of the U.S. population is uneducated or undereducated.

So it's no accident why a big chunk of the U.S. population is uneducated or undereducated.

The United States has the largest foreign-born population in the world, with more than 47.8 million foreign-born people in 2023. It is currently 14.3% of the population. This is the highest percentage since 1910 and a significant increase since 1970 when the percentage was 4.7%.

Immigrants and their U.S.-born children make up about 27% of the total civilian population.

This is a major reason why literacy is lower than it should be. Illiteracy in schools hurts all students, including those who are literate in English. To overcome this, English must be made the official language of the United States at the federal level.

@ZFire, either you like Trump, Vance and his yet to be determined final cabinet choices, or your ass is grass and I'm the lawnmower. You have a choice.

 

[Anomalous]

Trump's new Secretary of Defense doesn't even wash his hands after wiping his ass. Somehow I don't doubt that this is the most qualified person that he could find.

 

[Luman]

I hope that NYS Attorney General Letitia James will soon face investigations and subpoenas for her cases against Trump. The law can prosecute James and others by using traditional legal methods; the weaponized justice and lawfare-fueled prosecution they used against Trump was dishonest and should never have been employed against anybody. Letitia James needs to be disbarred, put on trial, and incarcerated if found guilty.

Now that the elections are over, did anyone else listen in to the Congress UFO hearings with Nancy Mace?

Interesting stuff.

If the Immaculate Constellation program is real, perhaps they could reverse engineer some extraterrestrial technology in order to cure tinnitus

The phrase, whether used lightly or seriously, is a threat that roughly means, "You are (or will be) in trouble, and I will be the one to punish."

I still can't believe Harris skipped the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in NYC on Thursday, Oct. 17. 2024. Many attendees, including Trump, were surprised that she didn't show up. She must have ignored the advice that she surely received that the event is very important for presidential candidates to attend.

 

[Varda]

I noticed not one candidate in the entire campaign mentioned tinnitus even once.

It seems neither one cares at all about the 20 million Americans suffering from this awful disease.

Sorry to break your heart darling, but I don't think @ZFire feels the same way.

But I hear @Luman has the biggest crush on you. You'd make a cute couple together .

At the White House on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024, Donald J. Trump is pictured with a smiling President Joe Biden, who appears to be happy to hand over the reins to Trump after his party pressured him to drop out of the race in July.

You must really be upset that Trump won and you are not even from the U.S. That line was just a joke that originated in the military.

Donald Trump has chosen Tulsi Gabbard to be the next Director of National Intelligence.

From Wikipedia:
"Tulsi Gabbard is an American politician and United States Army Reserve officer. She served as U.S. Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021. Gabbard is serving as a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army Reserve after 17 years of service with Hawaii Army National Guard from 2003 to 2020.....was deployed in Iraq from 2004 to 2005, where she served in a medical unit."

He isn't focusing on people based on years of relevant experience. Instead, he's choosing fiercely loyal individuals (mostly) who are deeply frustrated with the agencies they oversee, aiming to make significant changes. Nearly all the agencies have either "gone woke" or are compromised. This approach might work.

Competence is out the window; it's all about blind loyalty now.

I'm just waiting to see which positions Tucker Carlson, MTG, and Mark Robinson will get.

Donald Trump has chosen Robert F. Kenney Jr. as the new head of Health and Human Services.

Kennedy is not "anti-vaccine", as he has been labeled by misinformation. He has been vaccinated with a number of them, himself. He is opposed to the medical industry allowing experimental vaccination drugs, which have not been sufficiently tested for safety and effectiveness, to be given to the general public.
