US 2024 Election

[mids]

Of course, the Dems stole 2020 by injecting people with mind-altering "vaccines". That's why they forced everyone to have one.

Sorry, "vAcCiNeS".

The staffing up of the White House team so far does rather suggest that those of us who thought it was going to be a disastrous and deeply unpleasant clusterfuck might have been right.

I actually think that’s for the best. I don’t think voters should be shielded from what they have chosen to vote for.

Has he given Apartheid ‘Leon’ Clyde a seat in government?

I see a proposal has been made. Do congress have to confirm his nominations?

If so I hope they do.

As expected… just a little late

Left-wing conspiracy theorists claim Elon Musk used satellites to ‘steal’ US election
Social media used to spread false accusations that Starlink helped manipulate result… & aliens were involved etc etc

“Left-wing conspiracy theorists”.

Oh dear.

Some rando people online vs. the actual sitting President à la Trump in 2020.

Come on Uncle - you can do better than that.

So, these people who claim the election was stolen, what level of power do they have in their party establishment? Is it the same as the Kari Lakes and Donald Trumps who claimed 2020 was stolen?

And what have they done about it? Have they encouraged people to overthrow the government, and have the people they've encouraged killed people in the Nation's capitol?

Is this completely fringe nothingness, but a bullshit attempt to pretend there's an equivalence with the entire Republican leadership's denial of the 2020 result?

UJ is a blithering moron so in his eyes those things probably are equivalent.

Kamala's toned down quite a bit, hasn't she? Gone to ground.

[mids]

She's never been much above ground.

[perrykneeham]

Well, her name is dirt now.

[perrykneeham]

Boom and, indeed, tish!

[mids]

Wonder what she'll do now? I'm not sure public speaking is within her capabilities. Some sort of middle management think tank role? That's about her level.

[perrykneeham]

Maybe a chairlady - sorry - charlady.

He is a veteran but….points were made.

I wonder where all the people who scream “DEI candidate” are now with Trump’s appointments.

Apparently Space Karen now has to create a "Department of Government Efficiency". It'll be interesting how he manages that, given that he hasn't created anything in his life, and the two things he's done which were successful after taking them over were successful because they were the kinds of things that nerds get very excited about and were willing to work comically long hours in order to achieve their goals. Flying into space or making the electric car were cool for nerds. Making government efficient is going to be cool for absolutely nobody.

Trump really is not appointing anyone who is even on the less crazy fringe of MAGA any more. It's all Grade A wreckers and morons so far. I hope I am wrong and it turns out to be a massive success. But right now it looks like it's going to be an utter disaster. The question is whether these fucknutted morons get to do what they've always claimed they want to do, which would just be straight grim - political appointee generals, destroying all environmental regulations, stopping the fed from controlling monetary policy, banning vaccines, wiping out the department of education, deporting 20 million people who're doing almost all the work on America's farms, putting massive tariffs on everything that gets imported from foreign farms after destroying the US agricultural system, getting out of NATO and so on - or if they're just such lightweight, low quality, untrained, unskilled incompetents, hired not on ability but purely loyalty that they will thrash around like pathetic grounded fish breaking things by accident but not having the coherence or competence to carry through on anything they start.

Musk’s brilliant, isn't he? He makes space rockets and stuff.

[Repat Van]

I saw that. Apparently it’s a bit of a nothing role. Corrupt enough to pay Clyde back for supporting. But not really important enough to do anything. A consultative role.

[Repat Van]

“ hired not on ability but purely loyalty”

DEI hires.

[voice]

The hillarious thing about this so called department of government efficiency, is Trump has appointed two people to run it. Yeah, really efficient that.

[voice]

As for him doing all the things he's promised, part of me really wants him to get them done, sure it will rat f**k everyone no matter who they voted for, but that might be what it takes to break the fever and get through the thick skulls of his cult that there's a lot more to running a country and choosing leaders than culture war BS and owning the libs.

Hee hee hee!

“ WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump stunned Senate Republicans by announcing Wednesday that he will nominate Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., to be U.S. attorney general.

Gaetz, a Trump loyalist known for being a rabble-rouser in Congress, will need a majority of the Senate to be confirmed as the nation’s top law enforcement officer. Republicans will have a majority of 52 or 53 seats beginning on Jan. 3, depending on the outcome of the Pennsylvania Senate race. That means Gaetz won't have a large margin for error, assuming every Democrat opposes him.”

So even Republicans are starting to be baffled by Trump’s nominations.

LOL!

I don’t want the Democrats to block it. Let him have the position..
