Putin wasn’t on the ballot. FSM wasn’t on the ballot. Harris and Trump were on the ballot, and the US has a first-past-the-post electoral system (to its demerit) and like it or not if you didn’t endorse the loser you implicitly endorsed the winner. It’s zero-sum. That’s how it works. Trump now represents you, the entirety of the US of A, whether you like it or not.

People who shout “it’s not my fault, I didn’t vote!” are just trying to abdicate their responsibility and excuse their pathetic passivity. Nobody gives a shit.

“I didn’t drown that little girl in the pool. I stood there and watched her drown, but I didn’t drown her. How dare you imply I’m culpable?”

I, for one, am shocked - SHOCKED - that the guy who spent his entire life lying all the time about everything has proven to be somewhat untrustworthy.

I never said they voted FOR Trump. Read what I wrote. Not making a choice is itself a choice. 77.3M voted for Trump. 75M voted for Harris. 89.2M stuck their thumbs up their asses and didn’t express an opinion. 77.3M + 89.2M is a majority. I don’t care if it was malevolence, negligence, indifference or apathy. It was abundantly clear that Trump was going to do bad things. They either thought those bad things were going to be good, or they didn’t think the bad things would happen to them.

When evil triumphs don’t try to plead the morality of “good men who did nothing”.

The point I’m making is exactly what I wrote. The majority of voters either voted for Trump, OR looked at Trump - a verifiably incompetent lunatic who’d had one term already and fucked everything up - and said “Meh… whatever happens, happens”. They did NOT vote to keep him out.

The majority of voters did not vote AGAINST Trump.

He has and had no intention of issuing “tariff checks”, any more than he would “DOGE dividends”. It’s bullshit he came up with to try to pressure the courts into not invalidating his tariffs, or to rile up the gullible and use them to threaten judges after they do so.

And he lies because it works. There’s an absolutely absurd percentage of Americans - a majority, if I’m not feeling generous - who believe the crap he spews, no matter how untethered from reality and easily disprovable it is.

Trump will do anything to get what he wants, and sometimes - rarely - that includes telling the truth. But he lies most often because his audience loves being lied to.

This is meant to pressure SCOTUS, who are leaning towards shutting down his tariffs-because-whatever administration method.

Someone should tell these guys that we know their guy won the election, they can stop bragging about it.

But de-luge is a winter event!

Hopefully they remember that he’ll do it anyway. Deals with him are worthless.

Did his son get an alert on his phone?

… and professional staff. While it certainly deserves an examination, and I’m sure the salaries of the “execs” have bloated, it’s important to keep in mind that the actual working folks - the staff who help the students sort out their loans, the techs who keep profs from brainlessly handing over their passwords to it.staff.trust.me@mail.ru and so on - are being lumped in with them. Likely unfairly.

Watch out! If you don’t do as he says he’ll do the thing he’s going to do anyway!

Poor Ivanka would have been forced to attend Crunchem Hall elementary school, where she would have learned to harness her telekinesis to defy the abusive Headmistress Trenchbull…

I think this guy dislikes Files for some reason…

I relish watching US produce rot and slowly get replaced with alternatives from other countries up here in Canada.

It’s like a metaphor or something.

“Noooo! Trump was supposed to bring factories back to the US so I could own one, not work in one!” - Trump voter

Trump showed who he was during his first term

And his entire life has shown his complete and utter fucking ineptitude when it comes to handling money. The only reason he has a cent is because he’s been propped up his entire life… and now he’s been given unfettered access to empty the US Treasury into his own pockets.

Are you sure that would have even been fatal? He’s not using anything up there.
