Trump - The positives - (see Mod note in OP)

Catholic Church hasn't got female bishops.

Having all the big shots from big tech on side I find deeply troubling , already investing 500 billion in AI with Larry Ellison and Sam Altman. The Democrats were so badly organised in the summer, standing behind Biden until it was too late , when he was clearly unfit for another 4 years , meanwhile Trump utilised the podcasts of Rogan an Theo Von to spin a tale that appealed to average Americans. Sorry not a positive, future seams bleak to me with AI now in the control of this lot, the regulation that Altman and even Musk warned about a year ago for AI, will now be controlled by them (for more tax free profit).

A positive might be the world will be more peacefull, with less conflict - just a hope.

Is that not AOC? (She'd never win a national vote though)

That wasn't the point you tried to make and failed with initially, yet again.

A Catholic bishop would never be as accepting as she was.

trump is a very nasty person who calls people names all the time, was good to see him caught on the hop again by the bishop and he of course responded by being a nasty piece of sh1t.

Exactly. He's the ultimate shyster/conman and the democrats have nobody to blame for this but themselves. Even now after the will he won't he go again shambles with Biden they still haven't a clue who they're putting up next time out.

The US can force an end to the war by withdrawing funding. Are the US and the EU just expected to endlessly fund that conflict? Plenty of Ukrainians left the first chance they got, there isn’t an endless will to keep fighting. The Russian controlled parts were majority ethnic Russian as well.

The Democrats were repeatedly called out by the boarder services for cutting funding and making deportations as difficult as possible. They even called out Kamala on this during the election.

I'm sure they feel the same about you.

Americans are extremely welcoming in the main. Outside the major cities, it is also safer than Ireland.

Trump pulled foreign aid yesterday on hold for everyone except Ukraine

He also released statements that Putin is weak and lost million+ men

He can smell the blood in water and those 300+ billion of Russian assets looking mightily sweet to him

Once again watch what he does not what he says (which changes like a yo-yo, just look at his comments flip flopping on tictoc)

He’s a populist and helping Ukraine and bleeding Russia dry is popular not just with voters but the military industrial complex and military whom he doesn’t want to appear weak in front or repeat Bidens Afghanistan fiasco (Bidens popularity never recovered after that)

I am inclined to agree.

One comment I've heard said, when people are concerned about national security they vote republican, when they are concerned about economy and environment, they vote democrat.

Two major wars going on, and evil Haitians invading Ohio to have hot dogs was a good reason for many to vote Republican. A sentiment I heard on CNN from a few people they talked to was, you dont want a woman running things in the event of war.

Tim Wallz, Really nice sounding guy, but, I dont mean to denigrate his National Guard service, but she really should have picked a Joint Chief, or well known

I don't know why frankly. Most women I know would be terrific in a war. Like her or hate her, Margaret Thatcher did pretty well with Argentina. She drew a line in the sand and then when they crossed the line, she stood up.

If something had happened to Biden, and he invoked the 25th Amendment making Kamala Harris President, and people got a taste of her in power, and then she ran for election the political landscape might have been very different.

The dems now have 4 years to get a candidate ready.

And Israel
