You’re reaching. He’s a dynamo.  He's such a dynamo, he talked about Arnold Palmer's dick for 12 1/2 minutes at a rally. Go Donald! Brilliance in action, for sure. What a dynamo. Maybe he grabbed him by the dick, you know, because he's famous and they let you when you're famous. For research. |

Why are you determined to despise every good thing he wants to do. You don’t have to answer. It was a redundant question. I know what your answer would be. In all seriousness what good things does he want to do? I honestly don’t know. But what I do know, is when he makes comments like this it shows just how dumb he is. From the Washington Post… ”The biggest threat is not global warming, where the ocean’s going to rise one, one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years. The big — and you’ll have more oceanfront property, right?” the former president said.” He has made this statement on more than one occasion. It’s bad enough he does not believe climate change is real but when he makes comments like this you realize just how dumb he really is. Or when he recently mentioned 5 nuclear powers (there are 9). His first term in office he didn’t know the UK was a nuclear power. He really is that ignorant and stupid. |

I also voted for Trump and like a previous poster said, I’m beyond happy he won and yes, he won BIG! My main reason for voting for Trump is the HUGE failure on the Biden administration to secure our border. Biden had Harris spearhead the border crises. For the last four years, there are videos showing thousands of illegal immigrants crossing our border every single day. THIS was Harris’ job and as we’ve all seen, she did nothing to stop this. So if she couldn’t handle that, how on earth could she have been an effective President?
A quick Google search tells me that “since January 2021, since Biden came to office, there have been more than 10 million encounters - about 8 million came over the southwest border with Mexico.”
This is unacceptable and I live in a border state so illegal immigration is very important to me.
And I can tell you that Biden’s reckless open border policies is one of the main reasons Trump got so many votes.
If Harris and the Biden administration had done their jobs at the border, this election may have had a different outcome. Americans want our borders secure and for immigrants to come in legally and in numbers that our country can sustain.

I decided before I wrote my post above that I would not engage with back and forth on anything political. The dems on this board way outnumber the republicans. And the dems are outspoken and some resort to name calling and bashing rather than trying to have a real conversation. I want no part of any of that. I will not change their mind with anything I say and they won’t change mine. However, you did ask a reasonable question without bashing so I will say that the numbers of illegals coming into our country under Trump were way lower and he was having a wall built which would have lowered the numbers even more. My post above was to possibly help the dems understand why he got so many votes. They seem so incredulous that he won and by how much. In my opinion, the border crises was a HUGE reason. One other thing to add though, the women that mentioned that they may have to divorce their husbands and distance themselves from their family members and friends that voted for Trump are ridiculous! I have a lot of friends and family that voted for Harris. That was their choice and it was important to them. I still love them no matter which way the election would have gone.

Cindosha, do you really not see that Trump has mentally lost ground since 2016 and 2020? I loathe him, it’s true, but I honestly think that he is not well. No. I don’t see that. He’s sharp as a tack and his already gotten things done, and he’s not even in office yet. He appointed the first female chief of staff. Hamas wants an immediate end to war, China wants peaceful coexistence, Russia is ready to speak with the US, the EU wants to buy US gas, not Russian gas, Ukraine leaders are in talks with Trump and Elon. And that’s just a start. His presence on the world stage is undeniable. He might ramble when he gives speeches, but that’s his MO. I see no mental decline. You are so deluded! The same leaders who laughed at him 4 years ago? |

That's great that a woman was appointed chief of staff. From what people say, she is about as good as it could get considering his personality and (lack of) ability to surround himself with good people. I question her judgement given that she is willing to work for him, but hopefully it will be ok. It sounds great to say "Hamas wants an end to the war, China wants peaceful coexistence, and all of those things. But what you are missing is what could come with that. China wants peaceful co-existence but they also want Taiwan. We want chips. What is Trump going to trade for that? Could it be that he gives China the greenlight on Taiwan? Same with Ukraine. He wants a deal, but at what cost to the Ukrainians? Why is Elon even involved in the government? He said that he doesn't want to divest in his corporations so now he is just allowed to have influence over everything to his own benefit? You don't see a problem with having oligarchs in our government? I hope that you are eventually able to look past the shiny object to see the turd in the background. So my other reply was completely and utterly correct. He could cure your child’s cancer and you would still find fault. You can live your unhappy life and I will revel in his overwhelming defeat of kalama and await the great things he has planned for this country. And world peace. Since we know that he is incapable of curing cancer since he knows nothing about science, this is kind of a ridiculous statement. Why not come up with something that he has the capability of doing that might benefit everyone? |

I have a lot of friends and family that voted for Harris. That was their choice and it was important to them. I still love them no matter which way the election would have gone. Respectfully, there’s a difference between Trump and almost any other Republican. I didn’t agree with George W or John McCain, I didn’t vote for either of them, but I still respected both of them. How people voted in those elections did not change my opinion of them. However, Trump is different. It’s not just a difference of opinion over economic policy, the role of government or domestic issues. Trump is a threat to all immigrants (regardless of their legal status), minorities, women, LGBTQ and many others. He uses violent, fascist, racist and xenophobic language. He will potentially take away or restrict women’s reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy, take away marriage equality, and set back progress on climate change by years. For some of us, voting for Trump and all that he supports is a line in the sand. It’s difficult to reconcile someone voting to take away the rights of someone you love. What’s ridiculous is Trump supporters not understanding the repercussions of their vote. |

the wall fell over, the wall never stopped anyone (they just climb over it).. and those massive films are russian propaganda...
kamala was not assigned the border as much as she was assigned to work with central american countries to solve issues so so many people would not feel like they had to escape to the usa.
so if you believe the crap about the border, you are deluding yourself and trump is not solve the issue.. though he may tear families apart, cause many people to die.. and treat people as worthless.

Regarding immigration, here are some facts. Illegal border crossings were higher during the Biden administration. However, there are many complicated reasons for that. Starting with Republicans and conservative media falsely declaring the borders were open. There are also global factors like instability and a climate crisis that increased global migration. When Biden took over, the court system for immigrants had a significant backlog because of underfunding and Trump reducing the number of federal employees in the system. The number of people deported, returned to home countries or expelled during the Biden administration was also significantly higher. Also, Trump was the one who killed a bipartisan border deal that Republicans negotiated. Democrats conceded a lot and compromised a lot in the bill that had the potential to have a huge impact on immigration. The Border Patrol union supported the bill, but Trump killed it because he wanted to run on the issue of immigration more than he wanted to solve it. Trump taking over is unlikely to stop or even reduce illegal immigration. Immigration needs comprehensive congressional reform, the kind that Trump prevented. The goal should be safe, humane and legal immigration, but that is not going to happen. Trump will likely reinstate his horrific family separation policy. And desperate people will turn to smugglers to take them across the border. There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about immigration. Undocumented immigrants have a net positive effect on the economy, many of them pay taxes and contribute to social security and Medicare. And they are not taking jobs away from Americans, they are performing jobs that native born Americans are unwilling to do and tend to think are beneath them like agriculture, janitorial services and hospitality. www.fwd.us/news/immigration-facts-the-positive-economic-impact-of-immigration/www.cato.org/testimony/unlocking-americas-potential-how-immigration-fuels-economic-growth-our-competitivewww.bushcenter.org/catalyst/north-american-century/benefits-of-immigration-outweigh-costswww.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trumps-victory-wont-halt-migration-experts-say
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Donald Trump’s victory in the United States presidential election instantly changed calculations for millions of migrants or potential migrants across the globe.
But perhaps not in the way Trump imagined.
Trump has pledged to reduce immigration. But by narrowing the already limited legal pathways into the U.S., migrants will just recalibrate their plans and resort in greater numbers to hiring smugglers, experts say.wapo.st/3AABnVWThe U.S. immigration court system — a branch of the Department of Justice — was facing a huge case backlog when Biden took office, and the number of cases has more than doubled since then, surpassing 3 million. Many migrants are seeking asylum, a humanitarian protection for people fleeing persecution. Some of the migrants who have crossed the border recently and asked for protection are being scheduled for court hearings more than five years away.
The inability of the system to settle cases quickly has become an incentive for additional illegal migration, because border crossers with weak asylum claims can file for protection and spend years living and working in the United States before having to worry about the risk of deportation. |

No, there is no both sides to name calling. That’s a false equivalency. Trump takes name calling to an entirely different level.
He called Nikki Haley
Nimbra (an insult to her Asian heritage)
an imposter
Birdbrain
Harris
He deliberately mis-pronounced her name every time
Lying Kamala
Comrade Kamala
crazy Kamala
laffin Kamala
dummy
dumber than hell
low IQ
mentally disabled
grossly incompetent
shit vice president
slow
lazy as hell (a word used to demean black people in racism terms)
stupid
insult to our country
Please point to where Harris called Trump names. Aside from when she truthfully acknowledged that he is a fascist. After his chief of staff called him one.

Good. I look forward to you reporting on the find out part of your little experiment. How unsurprising that you’re unable to imagine the negative effects your vote will have even on people you don’t know. I don’t think there will be negative effects. I think there will be positive effects to everything. But that’s me, I’m an optimist. You are an optimist because it is your views and policies…you weren’t quite the same optimist in regards to the Democratic views and policies. So while your statement is true I don’t think it has the same meaning for both of us. You say this like you think American wasn’t great at some point. I don’t need it to be great again because it has always been a great place to live with a lot of privileges. So glad that your god didn’t make me be born in Venezuela because then my poor parents would be vilified for trying to give me as good of a life as it is here in America. I am not sure how a true patriot can believe in the ‘AGAIN’ part of your phrasing, that is why I think of MAGA as just Supporters and a party and not a true phrase. |

But come on you know there are going to be conspiracy theorists on both sides. You are savvy enough to know how things are going to play out. The big question is, is the person who lost standing up there telling the people who voted for her that it was stolen from her? That is more to the point. |

Will she waste resources filing conspiracy theories and de-bunked claims in court? Will she lose 60 of those court cases? Will she try to overturn the results of the election? Will she call a governor to “find” votes? Will the majority of the Democrats object to the certification of the vote? As VP, will she object to the certification? 4 years from now will she be complaining that the election was stolen or rigged? Without any proof? Most importantly, will she tell her supporters to fight like hell or they won’t have a country? Will she incite an insurrection like Jan 6? another false equivalency |

Honestly, this the way we should be responding to the long screeds. Like the one in the “last election” thread. “Why are you so mad, bro (girl)?” Don’t try to counter the arguments with facts, they don’t care. It’s clearly not enough to control all the levers of government at the national level. Why not just be content to sit back and watch your guy do what you want him to do? You’re on the winning side. |

Your MO for over a decade has been to drop a turd and never come back to respond.... if you happen to *feel* like coming back, I am curious what names Harris called the president-elect? ETA: and true to form, keriwest deleted her post. Typical. Just typical. And my quote of it disappeared as a result. Basically she said that Harris has called the current president-elect names during the campaign. When pushed back with requests to back that statement up with examples, she retreats. Knowing her posting style (check it out yourself) over the last 20+ years - back to the old peas site, she'll disappear for months, if not a year or more, but she'll be back at some point to make more posts supporting him and incorrectly whatabouting anyone who didn't vote for him. |

It’s not harris saying it vs trump. But come on now, the left has been smearing any everyday citizen for thinking the same thing after 2020 and now it’s the reverse. Not only have I been seeing it on threads (I think I’m stuck in a LW algorithm), but there have been some here suggesting it also. There are also SOME people that pop in with it’s a false equivalency when comparing both sides do it. The best one I read on Threads was that Elon Musk was behind the election rigging. 😳🤣 |

I also have been bothered by the “there is something funky going on” comments by other peas. Especially, because the vote counting still continues. It took weeks in 2020, and lots of people seemed to forget how many came in after the initial count. Ballot cures, overseas mail, etc. There are people online who are engagement bating, and clearly some people are falling for it. Or it’s just cope.
The state certification deadlines are still over a week away. There are election monitors who dissect US and international elections all the time. If they don’t see evidence of anything but a close election that tipped red in several states, I hope people believe them more than some random account on social media. Even if that person is a journalist, politician, lawyer, etc. As respected as those fields may be (or not) they aren’t election wonks.
