Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

Wow. Was he charged and put in prison ?

I think it is going to be akin to Brexit. Trump is not just a vote, he is the personalisation of many people.

As we have seen, they back him no matter what. Because to do otherwise is to admit that you were wrong. And that is very difficult.

So if things go badly then they will simply make excuses. Like all new administrations they will blame the previous one for at least two years.

Then it will be the very few that raise any issues. People just need to believe more.

Absolutely not.

The Republican member of congress being referenced here, is now the President-elect' nominee for Attorney General.

America is in a very very dark place, and everyone who voted for Trump with everything that was known about him holds part of the blame.

Because it is horrible in practice with the combination of massive humidity with a slightly too cold and slightly too wet tinge for most of the year with brief flashes of summer then repeat.

Only in recent years, because people increasingly think abstractly, has it become the practice to blah-blah each other about how "actually Ireland is perfect because it has a mild climate all year round."

Maybe that is a meteorologist's idea of perfection but it drives people to drink.

Twitter is a far bigger loss maker since he purchased it... It's reputation has been ruined and they've lost their major advertisers. Hardly something to be aspired to.

That is a very long winded post.

Ireland isn't the tropics, or perfect, nor does it get aggressive weather patterns like other parts of the world. By all accounts, it is a fairly tame place to live with regards to the climate.

It's just a few sentences to explain my pov.

Constant assertions that Irish weather is tame/mild/moderate miss the point.

If you favour a very humid, slightly chilled yet mild climate for 10/11 months of the year that's fine - that's your preference - but to a normal person it's horrible.

It has nothing to do with what meteorologists or climate scientists tell people they are meant to regard as ideal.

A normal person? Are you speaking on behalf of all people?

The weather in Ireland won't kill you, compare that to places that get extreme cold, heat, storms, hurricanes, typhoons, floods, drought…you get the idea.

No one is missing the point, you just seem disgruntled that the weather isn't as bad as you make it out to be.

Absolutely delighted with the team Trump is assembling the icing on the cake is seeing the great and patriotic Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence after that put her on a terror watchlist😀

So have I, but I'm not equipped to oversee a department of millions with a trillion dollar budget

Of course they're happy, this is what they want. People like Gaetz are a reflection of themselves and their moral vacuity.

I wonder is this stunt with Gaezt part of a more nuanced plan.

Gaetz nominated for AG. But rejected. And he's then nominated by DeSantis to replace Marco Rubio as Senator.

This might get Gaetz in to a Senator seat and also maybe distract attention from other of Trump nominations so that they might be more easily passed.

Not sure if the timelines involved would support this and don't think DeSantis is aligned with Trump after attempting to oust him during the primaries, but still. Gaetz has resigned his house seat so if he is rejected from AG role, isn't he out on his ear? Johnson said last night that he has spoken to DeSantis already so maybe they're already putting a plan of sorts in the mix and Johnson is definitely Team Trump.

FTR I am NOT an authority on why she didn’t win and I maintain postmortem is too soon TM

Lindell in particular faces the loss of his once successful pillow business

There was a time that it looked like this would be the case. But, the last ten days has shown us there's 75M people who will at least probably don't look away when they see a Lindell advertisement or piece.

You can imagine the direct mail advertising he has been pushing for his products. Giuliani is the only of the people who surrounded Trump who stuck it out with him who got any sort of meaningful comeuppance. And that's only because he was too stupid to not target people by name. Kevin McCarthy got burned, but that was because of Gaetz, McConnels wings were clipped a bit the last couple of years, but he still saw out his career to a retirement of his choice. Steve Bannon probably enjoyed serving time for contempt because of how it looks within the community.

It's quite depressing actually.
