US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I think the single biggest reason for the result is that in spite of objective evidence to the contrary people feel they are worse off than they were four years ago. Even so it's hard to avoid the feeling, as someone posted on here last night, that America prefers a rapist to a woman.

College kids who never had jobs, who weren't even engaged in politics last time round voted largely in favour of Trump. They have been largely insulated from the economy.

The biggest problem was the MSM essentially normalising a candidate who was a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist whilst expecting the candidate from the opposite side to be flawless.

All the pearl clutching on CNN this morning is shameful and downright disingenuous.

Start another thread about China and try to educate people. I know nothing about China other than it has cool movies. :-)

I failed to teach Mr kobyashi several months ago.
LOL, no , i won't do it again...

Does he really? So what is this about not paying bills? They don’t exist.

Sorry, what are we talking about again?

I’m not sure anyone understands both what you’re saying and what you think just happened, but no-one is “stepping down their position”!!!

It just needed a comma.

How about having an LQTBQ kid?

That’s me. Plus a wife. And another daughter.

At least I’m in CA and OR.

Trump had 4 years and all these bad things that were supposed to happen to LGBT people didn't happen

Just like all those wars that he was supposed to start never happened.

A lot of people just like to make it about themselves for attention, especially when it was shown before he's not really going after LGBT people, so you will be OK, just like before.

Ha. Trump said that he would not aid NATO countries that did not pay their bills, which is a complete nonsense given how NATO funds deployments, He seemed to think there was a connection between NATO’s advice on the share of GDP and NATO ‘bills’.

Well lets make it clearer , people are making out every female is disappointed with Trump winning. This is not the case though is it ? He still received a massive vote from women.

As for the democrats they have been destroyed all over the show. A VP declaring she will be a president for every American yet has no decency to even come and address her thousands of supporters that turned up. Speaks volumes

His last Presidency was a huge grift. If he though war would have been profitable for him, it would have done everythingi n his power to try and make it happen.

As a woman, It feels incredibly sad and lonely this morning. You all may laugh about it, and I can’t believe I’m sharing this on a sports forum, but the feeling of having no bodily autonomy is horrifying.

I don't think anyway with an ounce of compassion would laugh at that comment.
