They need a leader such as Trump to feel strong.

So that just means you go out of your way to sound like a little bitch all the time.
Double sad.
It's nice to know that Democrat voters never do drugs or become alcoholics. You have even less to bitch about in life than the other half of the country and you're still pissed off and whining about shit 24/7/365 no matter who's in office.

We are very happy with that pick.

Democrats will probably¹ pick up two seats in the House of Representatives and their nationwide vote share will be nearly identical to 2022. They received 48.54% of the vote compared to 48.60% two years ago.
This is something to account for in any narrative about the lessons Dems need to learn from their loss this year. If the public has really turned against them, whether because of immigration or wokeness or policy feebleness or working class angst, why didn't this show up in congressional races?
There are potential answers to this question. But it needs to at least be addressed.
¹Adam Gray is likely to win his razor-thin race in California's 13th district, which would give Democrats a two-seat pickup. But it's still too close to call for sure.

Last week, Donald Trump tossed out a bombshell: he would impose massive tariff hikes against Canada and Mexico unless they addressed immigration and fentanyl to his liking. This produced a flurry of attention, including a phone call with Mexico's president and a visit from Canada's prime minister. Then the whole thing quickly disappeared.
This week Trump suddenly threatened to impose massive tariffs against BRIC countries if they tried to promote their currencies in foreign trade as a replacement for the dollar. This didn't even make sense, but it produced another satisfying round of attention and op-ed thumbsuckers.
This is likely to be a harbinger of the next four years. Trump will constantly toss out unexpected bits of lunacy and then he'll drop the whole thing and move on. I can hardly wait.

As of Friday night, Kamala Harris had 6,841,477 less votes nationally than Joe Biden* had in 2020. Trump had 2,693,669 more votes than he had in 2020.
https://ballotpedia.org/Presidential_election,_2020
Joe Biden* had 81,282,632 votes, or 51.3% of the national vote.
Donald Trump had 74,223,234 votes, or 46.9% of the national vote.
As of Friday night, Kamala Harris had 74,441,439 votes, or 48.4% of the national vote.
Donald Trump had 76,917,038 votes, or 50.0% of the national vote.
You were destroyed. The Democrats even lost nearly 2 million votes from the amount they got in California compared to 2020.
Stop wasting time reasoning away your failure and do some goddamned introspection for once.
Otherwise, your loss is going to be even bigger next time.
I've been right about pretty much everything so far, so maybe you want to ponder on that before you make some dumb shit reply saying something you've already said here a million times that everyone just ignores.

I'd love to know the story about how each Media Outlet gets their numbers on the vote count and how they report them.
That is an interesting question on election day and through the first night, but I think it's even more interesting today.
I've been tracking that Google number on the Popular Vote count for weeks now. No specific reason why I used them. No reason to think not to use them. I'm sure it was a matter of convenience just because I could look that up and have it in front of my face whenever I thought of it. But once I picked them I had to stay with them for any sense of consistency.
I'd figure it didn't matter at this point. Why wouldn't everyone be working with the exact same numbers almost a month after the election.
I was telling my old man the numbers today, which at Google still have Trump at 76,939,059 votes, and he told me he was looking at CNN and they had Trump well over 77 Million already. These are the numbers as I write this.
And sure enough, sure enough, if you look at CNN right now they've got Trump at 77,149,725 votes. So Trump's already crossed that over there a while ago, and it looks as though Harris is only 280,000 votes away from 75 Million herself, when she's still 40k away from 74.5 Million yet on Google.
Just thought this was weird right now.
Where could any discrepancies lie anywhere that would have Google and CNN showing such different numbers this late in the counting?

Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan Has One Major Vulnerability
The legal ploy Trump is banking on to speed up mass deportations and why it might not work.
Dec 03, 2024 1:08 PM

n-vulnerability.html
U.S. immigration courts have yearslong backlogs, so the need for hearings is likely to be a key choke point in Trump’s plan to rapidly deport millions.
Perhaps the administration will just ignore the hearing requirement, because it has no intention of operating a “precise, legal” deportation scheme. But the administration seems unlikely to disregard the law entirely. The people who will carry out mass deportations—everyone from Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to sheriffs to lawyers and contractors—want to believe that they are upholding the law. Rather than direct them to defy it, Trump’s appointees will likely come up with arguments for why mass deportations are legal. When it comes to hearings, the goal will be to find a way around the need to go before an immigration judge, so that individuals can be removed from the country quickly (perhaps within hours of being apprehended) and with no real process.
The play, specifically, will be to vastly expand what’s known in immigration law as “expedited removal.” Hundreds of thousands of noncitizens arriving at the border are already deported every year through this “shadow removal” regime. Expedited removal has generally been limited to people arriving at the border or those present in the U.S. for fewer than 14 days who are apprehended within 100 miles of the border.
The administration could go to Congress and seek the resources to run a humane, efficient immigration system that complies with the Constitution and the nation’s international obligations. But it won’t do that . . .

I'm very happy with this shift in your Legacy Media's tone.
At any other point in time in the last 8 years, all of these articles would have called Trump and his supporters racists, screaming "HOW DARE HE!!!!"
Now these amateur activists are just writing fanfic about an economy they could never understand since they haven't figured out how to balance their checkbooks.
They must have gotten that directive from on high to stop calling Trump and his supporters Nazis. It must have killed Gupta and Noll to write that article the way they were told to write it.

They don't get hearings. Not anymore they don't.
If you're here illegally, you're out the fucking door. Period. You and your illegal kids. No more anchor babies either.

It looks as though the votes that CNN already had counted that Google didn't have counted have shown up today. Both sides have gotten quite a few more.
I'm glad I kept track of this because we can one day go back and see what the ratio of votes for Harris vs. votes for Trump were as the last 3 Million votes were counted. It's been INANELY lopsided in favor of Harris.
I mentioned when Harris hit 74 Million that it was possibly the last 1 Million barrier anyone would hit. With a huge head start, Trump eventually did get over the next 1 Million hump, but Harris has gotten so many in the mean time she's about to lap him and do it again.
POPULAR VOTE:
77,151,288 for Trump (49.9%) / 74,788,460 votes for Harris (48.4%).
Total votes counted: 151,939,748
Trump's lead: 2,362,828
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 4,147,808 now.
Trump now has 2,927,919 more votes than he did in 2020.
Harris now has 6,494,456 less votes than Biden* did in 2020.
States with votes left to count (States below 99% according to Google's map)
Mississippi: 5% left
Oregon: 3% left
New York: 2% left
Quote:
Google says that California is 99%. I don't know if I mentioned it a day or two ago when I noticed it.
I guess now is as good a time as any to run a little experiment....
9,249,261 votes for Harris
6,050,902 votes for Trump
I don't imagine they're still paying overtime on weekends to count this late. But we'll see if those numbers are the same late on Monday or if they're still increasing.
Current vote count in California:
9,270,804 votes for Harris
6,076,584 votes for Trump
Not much... but they're still counting.
