Trump will be left with a 217-215 majority in the House of Representatives for some of the key first months of Trump's term.

Party-line bills routinely failed on the floor and Republicans struggled to muster the votes for key legislation funding the government, raising the debt ceiling and providing urgent foreign aid to U.S. allies.

It's got to suck that you woke up on November 6th and realized that nobody takes anything you say seriously.

You've noticed the change in the media.

Who are you going to for your news now that none of the news outlets are saying anything you want to hear anymore? We already know what clickbait farms that Ted has fled to.

Trump is fine.
He is also your current President.

News Flash: Trump is incompetent. But so are his Trumptards in ordinary life. And making him President doesn't fix any Trumptard's problems. Their lives were as screwed up after four years of Trump as they were before Trump. I expect the future for Trumptards will look the same as their past: staying close to the bottom of the social hierarchy, but happy because Trump is President, not Hillary, not Joe.

6ix, you are no longer Angry poor white trash, but now Happy poor white trash. The anger comes years later when you learn that Mister Only-I-Can-Fix-It Trump can't fix it.

Another nomination from Donald Trump:

President-elect Donald J. Trump will nominate Jared Isaacman, a billionaire entrepreneur who led two private missions to orbit on SpaceX rockets, as the next NASA administrator.

Mr. Isaacman, the chief executive of the payment processing company Shift4 Payments, is a close associate of Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, and, if confirmed to the post by the Senate, would bring the perspective of an outsider to the space agency and its $25 billion budget.

Being rich enough to afford vanity trips to space hardly qualifies you to lead NASA. And being a buddy of Elon Musk is a massive conflict of interest for running an agency that Elon Musk does a lot of business with.

Yup. Bought my house free and clear and zero debt to anyone. Just like all us white trash.




You didn't answer the question. Where are you going to get your news now that your "news" agencies are no longer putting out stories you want to read?

Trump is fine.

Check your %SpO2 and blood glucose levels. You are hallucinating.

Nah. I just get my news outside of MSNBC, Vox, pedophile Vaush and Salon.

I wonder what Mother Goose has to say? Oh. Right. They went out of business years ago.


I wonder how you are going to possibly think for yourself anymore after all your "news" outlets shutter their doors.

Axios noticed it, and is a part of it themselves.

The damage Biden has done

-has-done
/

SPOILER ALERT: More voters now identify as Independent as ever. For the first time in history, the Democrat party has fallen to 3rd place by Party ID.

And until 2024, it had been 10 straight elections where the Democrat Party had the highest Party ID.

Quote:

“To provide a sense of scale of the size of this shift, a comparison of 37% of the 2020 presidential turnout to 31% of the 2024 turnout shows there were over 10 million fewer self-identified Democrats voting in this last election,” Winston writes. “Independents went the other direction, going from 27% in 2020 to 34% in 2024, which resulted in an increase in self-identified independents of about 10 million.”

What does it mean? The simplest explanation is that Biden and his fellow Democrats made the party so unattractive that millions of self-identified Democrats decided to call themselves independents instead. That doesn’t mean they won’t call themselves Democrats again in the future. But it does suggest that they were deeply unhappy with the Democratic Party in 2024.

Nobel Prize winner Simon Johnson believes Trump can do what Biden could not.
We will see if that is true on Jan 21, 2025. Or, maybe, Johnson should not have won the prize.

Ending Putin's Ukraine War Is 'Straightforward' for Trump: Nobel Laureate

Trump's desire to "confront China economically and strategically" would be strengthened by first "crushing Russia," claiming that this would "boost US prestige around the world and strengthen Trump's hand in dealing with China on other issues."

"Trump still could score a quick and impressive win against China by turning Russia entirely out of Ukraine and restoring the pre-invasion borders."

"It would also be straightforward," they added, citing Russia's heavy dependence on oil exports. "Trump can cut Russian net revenue from these exports to essentially zero from his first day. Without this revenue, the Russian war machine will grind to a halt."

"On his first day in office, Trump can announce that he will impose heavy US sanctions on any company that pays more than $15 per barrel for Russian oil (and on anyone who participates in any transaction above that level)," they wrote on Tuesday. "Any country that is deemed not to be fully cooperative with this policy should expect to face punitive tariffs."

Simon Johnson received the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics for his contributions to the field of political economy and his work on economic institutions.
