Trump chooses quack TV doctor to run Medicare

Not counting himself, this makes three TV hosts in Trump's cabinet (Hegseth, Duffy, Oz)

Yesterday Trump chose former MTV "Real World" host and current Fox host Sean Duffy to be his Transportation Secretary. Today it's this:


Not counting himself, this makes three TV hosts in Trump's cabinet (Hegseth, Duffy, Oz) plus a bevy of other folks with proven chops on Fox. At least Trump is consistent about what he wants.

That only sounds impressive for the Biden/Harris administration when you neglect to mention the fact that 10 times as many illegals entered the country during their time in control than during the Trump administration.




Also, there are WAY more illegal alien invaders in the US than 13 Million right now. We're lucky if it was only 13 Million BEFORE Joe Biden* was inaugurated.

There are an estimated 13 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. A onetime mass deportation operation would cost at least $315 billion, according to a recent analysis from the American Immigration Council. A longer-term project involving arrests, processing, and deportations would cost around $968 billion over more than 10 years. The report emphasizes that this is a “highly conservative” estimate. It does not take into account the likelihood that this deportation operation of 13 million people would require the construction and staffing of detention facilities on a scale that dwarfs the current U.S. prison system, which held 1.9 million people all told in 2022 — let alone the effect of removing an estimated 5 percent of the American workforce from the country, who collectively pay over $105 billion in taxes each year.


It doesn't need to cost anything close this. Even if it did, it will pay for itself almost immediately since we won't be funding illegals anymore.

All Trump needs to do is tell any govorners of states with sanctuary cities that ALL Federal funding to the state for every program ends immediately until they work to remove the illegals themselves. No more housing, school, food or medical care for anyone without a SS#, including their kids.

The problem takes care of itself.

POPULAR VOTE:

76,587,122 for Trump (50.0%) / 73,981,301 votes for Harris (48.3%).

Total votes counted: 150,568,423

Trump's lead: 2,605,821


States with votes left to count (States below 99% according to Google's map)
California: 4% left
Oregon: 4% left
Utah: 2% left
Colorado: 3% left
New York: 3% left
Washington: 2% left
Mississippi: 2% left
Maryland: 2% left



Compared to the 2020 election:

The 2020 results were 74,223,369 for Trump and 81,282,916 votes for Biden*

The total EXACT vote count in 2020 was 155,506,285.


The total amount of votes less in 2024 compared to 2020 is down to only 4,937,862 now.

Trump now has 2,363,753 more votes than he did in 2020.

Harris now has 7,301,615 less votes than Biden* did in 2020.



Finally winding down here. I'd say there's less than 1 Million votes left to count.

We're now officially less than 5 Million votes under the 2020 popular vote count. This is 1/3rd of what the YouTube idiots were claiming the week after election day.






HOUSE:

We're still at 220 R / 213 D. The only two still remaining are D13 and D45 in California and they haven't changed in several days. Both are extremely tight and around 90% counted. The Republican has a 1.2% lead in D13 and we're still tied exactly 50/50 in D45.

Harris literally just passed 74 million votes before writing this, with a current vote count of 74,003,503.


With Trump at 76,618,459 and only the small percentage points left to count in the states I listed in the previous post, Harris breaking 74 Million might be our last million vote barrier crossed for either side.

It's still possible that Trump cracks 77 Million, but with the bulk of the remaining uncounted votes being the 4% that California still needs to count, I'm not sure if there is another 381.5k Trump votes left to count.





ETA: Nah... On second thought I'm going to call that Trump gets more than 77 Million when it's all counted up.

That 3% in New York that remains shouldn't be neglected. A lot less votes in NY than in California, but Harris only has a 12 point lead in NY vs the roughly 21 point lead she has in California.

Assuming that Google's map is at least somewhere in the ballpark of accurate, there should be plenty of votes left to get Trump over 77 Million.

Anybody have any idea WTF is up with Mississippi?


Alaska finally finished their count yesterday or the day before, as did Arizona, but Mississippi has been stuck at 98% since day one. It's the only red state that hasn't finished counting.




ETA:... Not the only red state. Just remembered that Utah is stuck at 98% as well.


Wonder what's going on in both states.

The problem takes care of itself.

Most of those illegals live in Texas and Florida, which are controlled by Republicans who will NEVER pay to capture and kill illegals. The Federal government will have to pay or it won't happen.

6ixStringJack, you are a stupid asshole to think that would work. But then, so is Trump, who is trying to get Senators to bend:

As President-elect Donald Trump rolls out his controversial Cabinet picks, he has demanded the Republican-led Senate take extended breaks to allow him to make recess appointments rather than subject his nominees to an extensive public vetting process and upper chamber approval.

Trump's demand not only tests congressional Republicans' willingness to uphold checks and balances over bending to the president-elect's wishes but, if met, would be an affront to the Constitution, which empowers the Senate to provide "advice and consent" over the president's key executive branch nominees, experts told Salon.

"It's certainly one of the biggest attempts at a power grab that we've seen. He wants not to just recess appointment, he wants to basically do an end-around around the Senate's role in advice and consent," said Josh Huder, a senior fellow of the Government Affairs Institute at Georgetown University.

Nobody said anything about killing anybody.

They're going to get themselves killed if they fight back though.

HOUSE:

We're still at 220 R / 213 D.

It looks like the fix might be in on D13 in California. The entire time the Republican held a lead over the Democrat and was up by 1.2 points with 90% of the vote counted. Now with 93% counted, the Republican only leads the Democrat by .2 points.

After about 5 days with no counting, it appears that counting has finally resumed in D45. Last time we checked, it was 50/50 at 90% counted. Now it's 92% counted and the Democrat is up by .2 points in D45 as well.

I'd just assume that the locals in California have successfully cheated both of these races and the final count will be 220 R / 214 D.

I know that Trump and his team are going to have their hands full, but hopefully investigating what happened in D13 and D45 in California are on the docket.

Oh, be silly, 6ix. Illegals will run and the law officers will act as if they are felons and shoot them. There will be high-speed chases and crashes. There will be concentration camps holding a million illegals as prisoners, which will mean people will die in prison riots. And when Trump loses his temper with the slow pace of deportation because of legal folderol, he will execute illegals. The invaders are escaping! The Army has to machine gun them to stop them from fleeing! Trump gives a blanket pardon to any soldier or citizen killing an illegal.
