    When was the last time someome rounded up 20 million people, held them in camps to deport them en masse?

    BTW, Biden deported 2 million illegal immigrants during his 4 years. , double the number Trump deported in his term

    Having to suffer MTG for 4 more years is what hurts me the most….

    'The economy' is a lot more imaginary than climate change. More than 200 people died in Spain last week because of some very unimaginary flash floods that were made much worse due to climate change

    https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-downpours-increasing-in-southern-spain-as-fossil-fuel-emissions-heat-the-climate/

    In summary, over the past ~75 years, daily rainfall extremes in the September-December season in central and southeastern Spain have increased significantly with global warming, approximately doubling in likelihood and equivalently increasing in intensity by 12%. While a full attribution would require an assessment of trends in climate models as well as observations, the results in Table 1 are in line with other literature on rainfall extremes in the region.

    Since I'm on a run of posts, I'll add this. As an Irish person with the UK and America so important to us, it's been a frustrating eight years with both parties in the UK supporting Brexit and both parties in the US supporting Israel.

    I wanted Harris to win for my own personal state of mind, where stress and anxiety have real effects on my health, but I firmly believe that the UK having a bad outcome from Brexit and the US having a bad outcome from this election is well-deserved for their populations. It would be better if neither thing existed but when all sides in those countries support things I hate, I have little sympathy.

    Sure that's the risk you take when we are basically a tax avoidance country for big business. Our economy is a house of cards. Only a matter of time before it comes to a stop. The question will be what did we do what all that money oh I forgot bike sheds and a children hospital.

    Shapiro I think had higher ambitions than using his only chance at running for VP/Pres in a rushed campaign.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,487 ✭✭✭circadian


    Here you go

    It's the lead

    You'd swear I was joking, but nope. You'll have a hard time convincing me otherwise.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭Hyperbollix


    Yep. I bet old Joe is the only Democrat feeling smug today. But it's misplaced. The only outcome had he been running, would have been an even bigger demolition at the polls.

    The only thing Yanks would find harder to vote for than a female charisma vacuum, is a physically and cognitively weak old man.

    A year ago ?

    They were saying this in July, 4 months ago. It was reiterated on here ad nauseum by all the never Trumpers.

    Anyone who dared challenge the line Biden was as sharp as a tack was labelled a conspiracy theorist. He was going to run for re election, stories that there was a plot to replace him were scoffed at.

    Another disengenuous tactic was a line that was thrown at me and others over the last few weeks that I was getting my news from right wing conspiracy twitter outlets like Alex Jones. It was part of a pathetic and coordinated campaign at trying to undermine dissenting voices.

    So who exactly are the conspiracy theorists now ?

    The ones predicting a huge win for Harris ? The ones who spent all day shouting down opposing views with false propaganda they were fed from their biased sources ?

    The ones posting negative posts about Trump every day and the ones in utter denial of his odds of winning and how unpopular and poor a candidate Harris is ?

    Think you might be right. Wouldn't be surprised if Kelly quietly declined behind the scenes too.

    It may well have been who they could get to agree to come on the ticket.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,511 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    If we can get anything from this, can we at least dispense with your self imposed charade that you are not a Trump supporter?

    Everyone knows anyway.

    Mod note:

    Good afternoon everyone.

    I would like to remind you all of the mod instruction on the OP of this thread:

    Do not be calling Trump a rapist in this thread. Do not call posters rapist sympathisers. Do not refer to either candidate in derogatory ways

    I have already deleted a couple of posts using the words rapist in relation to the newly elected US president. No more of this please or warnings and/or bans will follow. It would be a shame to get banned now when you made it all this way.

    Thank you

    more like this generation are digitally aware and active but also remember a time of prosperity with no identify politics or political correctness.

    the 1990s and early 2000s really rocked.

    The numbers are broadly similar despite the ages. I don't know how anyone is able to keep up with the American generation label phase.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,580 ✭✭✭Cordell


    It's the generation that have seen them all, from early days of BBS and web portals to goatse/meatspin/2girls1cup to 4 and 8chan. It's the most informed generation from all. It's the least likely generation to fall for misinformation, they still remember clicking that link and seeing what can't be unseen. Stop blaming the voters.

    Surely that's the end of Harris. A humiliating defeat. I'd say her and Biden will have some frosty exchanges at the next meeting. Honestly I don't think a whole lot will change. A lot of Trump is bluster. He said last time he'd build a wall and he didn't, said he would bring all the big multinationals home he didn't. Something like a big pharmaceutical plant isn't just going to up and leave overnight. They've invested huge money in this country and I don't see them just deciding to leave.

    Doesn't this show:

    1. If someone cared about democracy and abortion a lot they were more likely to vote Harris.
    2. If someone cared about economy and immigration a lot they were more likely to vote Trump.

    In the end, more voters fell into the second bucket.

    Democrats won't out flank MAGA Republicans on immigration, so they have to get better on economy.

    He will be remembered as an idiot. He should have pulled out before the primaries if he ultimately wasn't going to run again. If he stayed on despite social media rife with old man Joe stumbles and blunders he'd actually have put up a better fight then Harris. Couldn't have picked a worse time to pull out especially with a deeply unpopular vice president promoted in his absence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,593 ✭✭✭Dick phelan


    All this end to democracy stuff is pearl clutching. I have zero doubt in 4 years we will see another US election. People really get deranged by this guy. The real worry I have is Ukraine I do think he will stop financial support for them but ultimately he's only doing what the majority of Americans want regarding Ukraine. Do I like it, no it will be a terrible outcome for Ukraine and Europe but I think it's time we realize the average American doesn't care.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 557 ✭✭✭taratee


    Thought this was a really interesting take on the election.

    Kamala still hasn't conceded.

    A bad look.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,127 ✭✭✭MrMusician18


    While a bad economy can be created overnight a good one takes time to create and is often more influenced by luck and outside factors as well as the cyclical nature of economic growth.

    The Dems need the economy to turn under DJT as well as adopting more socially conservative policies to appeal to minorities. That's a real challenge as it will alienate their core base. It could split the party

    Maybe the Democrats and their media shouldn't have been pretending he was fine and nothing wrong with his mind. They only forced him out after the debate and it was so glaring. They should have said Biden was a one term president in 2021 and spent the last few years grooming a good candidate. The Democrats massively screwed this up
