So much for that...

[GrapeApe]

Most of the "stuff" the R's promised to do while they had both houses and the WH, didn't happen.

Just like all the promises the D's made probably ain't happening either.

The pendulum has started swinging back the other direction. I expect it to continue until it gets to the opposite extreme.

Wash, rinse, repeat

[Zsarvashere]

Yup.

[Zorba]

Its called the "Uniparty".

[Elk Creek]

Expect “sensible gun legislation” coming.

[FJB]

As well as the usual panic buying.

[Diver43]

Expect “sensible gun legislation” coming.

Yup, just like state like Colorado and New York on steroids.

Yup, just like states like Colorado and New York on steroids. Who knows what they will do about SBRs and Suppressors

Other than I’ll have to suffer the consequences, I’m happy as a pig in poop they got their asses handed to them. This here, is the find out part of the equation.

Make promises and do nothing can only be done for so long.

Lots of factors in this, but if anyone thinks Trumps idiotic comments/antics didn’t play into it and motivate both parties to vote….or not vote, you’re nuttier than squirrel turds.

His cheese has 100% slipped off the cracker, and I predict he will be in far worse shape than Uncle Joe was by the end of his term. I’ll also make the prediction he will be removed from office before the end because he has gone off his rocker.

I seem to remember preventing "war" and "inflation" being the reasons the '24 election was the most important in history. So "the people" voted for the one who was supposed to prevent it. What do we have???
Oh yeah, war with iran, and record inflation. Imagine that

Does the sheet sammich taste any better since the jokers on the right are shoving it down our throat instead of the clowns on the left?

Here’s a perfect example of dumb stuff Trump has said.


“By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj,” Trump said, asking the rapper to stand up. “That’s hard to miss.”

He added, “I hope Nicki wasn’t insulted, but we love Nicki. She’s been with us for a long time.”


This is not what a gentlemen, business professional, etc, let alone the POTUS says out loud. On television. In today’s age of near instant ability to post the video. If I said that about a female at work? Fired. Within the hour.

“But Chris We weren’t voting for the POTUS!”

Right.

But we were voting for the people the POTUS supported. Guess what? Sexist pig comments enrage the opposition. So anyone Trump is for, they are against. We can call it the spite vote.

So there’s two theories I have.

1. He’s lost his damn mind.
2. He’s arrogant enough to think he can get away with saying what he wants because he’s the most powerful man in the world.

Of course, two things can be true at the same time. Which is how I’m leaning.

Please share the most intelligent thing said by the person that you voted for.

[CPJ 2.0]

Sure, but first, are you saying what Trump said was OK?

[PFD45]

Yes.

Now please share something intelligent said by the person you voted for. (2nd request).

Didn’t vote for POTUS last cycle.

[Zsarvashere]

He did what he said he would do. He achieved regime change.

[PFD45]

Didn’t vote for POTUS last cycle.

Why are you crapping on the choices made by others when you sat on the sidelines?

If you want to sit it out, fine.

I'll make a deal with you...I'll stop ragging on you for not voting if you stop ragging on the way I voted. Deal?

Now that would require that you not comment on political offices that you didn't vote on. . .

[Zsarvashere]

I do confess I am sad I will not be getting my doge check, my tariff check, and my bribery check.

Haven’t crapped on anyone’s choices. Simply saying if anyone thinks Trump had nothing to do with this absolute shellacking they are bat guano loco.

Unless of course, by me saying that the person someone chose is better suited for the nursing home than leading the country hurts their feelings, then yes, I’m taking a big fat elephant sized crap on them and especially their feelings. I find it hilarious (and disturbing) that saying a politician is a turd is equal to or worse than calling someone’s mom a whore. (Is she?)

Yeah me too. But I mean there’s still time for the doge and tariff check!

I find it interesting that the VP is already distancing himself from the POTUS. Tells me that JD is running for President. I’ll be curious to see if Trump scolds him.


I’m also awaiting all the excuses and gaslighting. If they were smart, they’d take their licks and admit their faults. That would show some humility and possibly build back respect and gain some trust.

But, that will not happen. They will find other things to blame.

Why do you care?

You didn't vote in this election and you won't vote in the next.

Please, like I asked you twice before, share something positive!

[Zsarvashere]

JD can run all he wants. I will not be voting for a boot licker let alone one licking Trump's boots or worse. Pretty sure I am not alone. Exit polling showed a crap ton of repubs voted Dems Tue night. Pretty sure they are not going to turn around and vote for Trump's toady in two year no matter how much he grovels.

I didn’t vote in this election? That’s odd. I must have dreamt I did.

I said I didn’t vote for anyone in the presidential election.

I held my nose the first time for Trump.

And this notion of not being able to have an opinion because I didn’t vote for a president is re-****-tarded. It’s exactly like a Democrat saying you can’t criticize a democratic president because you voted republican. Like Geddy Lee says: “if you chose not to decide you still have made a choice.”


But come to think of it, last time I voted straight R, minus the POTUS which I checked whatever libertarian was on the ballot.


But since they had no chance of winning, I guess I can’t still have an opinion, right?

[Bigslug]

For my part, I'm pretty damned sick of the pendulum swing.

Trump's a tool, sure, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the leading cause of Trump was Obama, Hillary, Biden, and - Jesus H. Christ - Harris. We've pretty much voted ourselves right back to that - probably with a substantial helping of Bernie Sanders while we were at it. I get not being happy with the current state of things. Hell, I get being outraged with the current state of things. But this notion of voting the Dems back in as if they're going to make anything BETTER???

Dunno about y'all, but I'm pretty effin' exhausted.

[Zorba]

I'm sick of the whole mess. I have less than zero use for any of them, and less than zero use for any of the ones backing them. Everyone from Bible Thumpers, to Marxists, to Tech companies (the greatest sheer EVIL of them all as far as I'm concerned), to Zionists, to Islamists, and Goddess knows who the hell else.

There is exactly zero ethics in any of it or from anyone involved. Lots of so-called "morals" in some quarters, but no ethics in any. The Uniparty can go rot in the Christian Hell as far as I'm concerned.
