I am happy to announce that I have confirmed that Ted is still alive. 
He was hiding out in the tag section with Brenda shit talking us "stupid" people for voting for Trump.
Too much of a pussy to come in here and face the music.
Like Kamala Harris once said, Ted, "If you've got something to say, say it to my face!"
Get fucked you cowardly little worm.

Cautious as Russian commentators were about the geopolitical implications of Trump’s win, they clearly considered it to be a boon for Russia domestically.
With obvious glee, Russian commentators and officials jumped on the opportunity to use Trump’s criticism of his opponents as underscoring Moscow’s own depiction of the U.S. as a diseased country in decay, to which Russia, conveniently, provides the perfect foil.
“Trump started talking about that the United States is ill, and that American society should solve those problems,” Zakharova said.

Quote:In Vietnam, I was asked how I could sleep soundly with a war going on. Ear plugs. And lack of empathy for crazy nincompoops who deserve to die young. Back in civilian life, being surrounded by dummies' chaotic lives, their "non-optimal" (that's a euphemism) decisions, never caused me to lose sleep about their deep-rooted stupidity and lack of self-control. Their mental illnesses may keep them drinking and over-eating at night and using tobacco during the day but doesn't get sympathy from me or interfere with my sleep.

In Trump’s telling, the economy was in shambles, even when almost every measure said otherwise, and the border was an open sore leeching murderous migrants, when the actual number of crossings had dropped precipitously. All this came wrapped in his signature language of catastrophism.
Donald Trump might be the luckiest guy in the world. Donald Trump should have the easiest presidency ever.
He says he'll turbocharge the economy, and it's already turbocharged. In the latest quarter, real GDP is now an astonishing 2.6% above potential GDP. That's the highest it's been in half a century.
He says he'll cut imports from China, and they've already been cut. Last year imports of goods from China came to 1.28% of GDP, the lowest in 20 years.
He says he'll produce more oil and gas, and both are already at the highest levels in American history.
He says he'll get crime down, and it's already down. Murder is at the lowest rate in more than 40 years.
Overnight the US election system has become reliable and trustworthy. It's amazing the progress Trump can make in less than a week when he puts his mind to it.
More things Trump promised that he has already delivered:

There's really not much left for Trump to do.

The win has its limits, 51 is still very close...and you have Uniparty and RINOs
FDR and LBJ got over 60%, Nixon 60% plus
Reagan 58 + vs Walter Mondale and Obama 53 vs Mcain's 45.7%
A freaking SQUIRREL just ran across the stage at Kamala’s Concession speech and everyone in the comments is yelling “Peanut!”

COVID took Donald Trump out of the White House. Four years later, COVID put him back in. Shocks from the pandemic produced generational inflation on a global scale that wreaked havoc on incumbents in country after country. Cost-of-living increases made for an economy that most people feel hasn’t worked for them. This was an election in which fundamental indicators pointed to the bums getting booted out. So they were.

Why Trump Won

Trump consistently offered a clear message that spoke to Americans’ frustration about the economy and the state of the country, and promised to fix it.
Throughout the campaign, Trump told voters that Democrats and undocumented immigrants were responsible for inflation, and that he would fix the problem. Trump promised a way out.
“We’re going to help our country heal,” Trump said in remarks early this morning. “We’re going to help our country heal. We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We’re going to fix our borders, we’re going to fix everything about our country, and we’ve made history for a reason tonight, and the reason is going to be just that.”
You can contrast that with the message coming from Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party, which was more outwardly hopeful but suffered from a serious, perhaps unfixable, flaw.
Harris promised to protect things like Social Security and Medicare, and warned that Trump would ruin everything that was great about America. This was a fundamentally conservative answer, coming from a Democratic Party that has become strikingly conservative at a time when too many voters were disgusted with the status quo.
The administration argued that inflation was a worldwide trend, caused by COVID, and pointed out that inflation in the U.S. had dropped faster than in peer countries, and that the American economy was running better than any other. All of this was true and also politically unhelpful. You can’t argue people into feeling better with statistics. Democrats had a good empirical case that what they had done to steward the economy was very successful. They just had no political case.
In a bitter turn for Democrats, Trump will now benefit from their governing successes. If he truly attempts to, or succeeds at, speedily deporting millions of people or instituting 60 percent tariffs, he will drive inflation higher and wreck the progress of Biden’s term, but Trump’s own political instincts and the influence of many very wealthy people around him may temper that. Having clearly promised to fix the problem and vanquished his enemies, he’ll now be able to declare a swift victory.

Trump's MAGA allies gloat Project 2025 "is the agenda"
Project 2025 outlines a plan to greatly expand the power of the executive branch and allow the president to override checks that typically would limit his power. It also includes recommendations for dissolving the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), shrinking the social safety net, ending student debt relief, deporting immigrants and aggressively curtailing abortion protections.
Trump repeatedly tried to distance himself from Project 2025 during the campaign, even going so far as claiming he knew nothing about it. Give him time and Trump will admit Project 2025 is his agenda.
