You know I have concerns about a lot of things. I know Trump will do crazy things. I do worry about my retirement, inflation if tariffs out of control and if so-called trump tax breaks will raise my taxes again.
But the first thought in my head is how awful it must feel if you are Ukrainian. You are likely to be abandoned and Trump will allow his daddy to steal land....crazy.
This is the issue that bothers me the most. For most domestic issues there are controls like the senate and the filibuster. But no such controls exist for Ukraine and NATO.
My father was born in the Ukraine and I feel a deep connection to the community, having grown up in a Ukrainian area of Cleveland. I’m devastated by this. But Americans just don’t care.

Just think for a minute. If the dems wouldn’t have cheated in 2020, Trump would only have 2 months left to be President. Now he’ll be in the Oval till 2029. How does that feel?
lol...so why didn't they cheat this time? Why give up the oval? Why give up the senate?

Climate change is a naturally occurring phenomenon over the existence of earth it has happened thousands of times. It is not new or special.
If you believe climate change is man made do you understand the only solution is to reduce the population by about 3 billion? That's not the winning platform you think it is.

Why do you feel you have enough to stand on to go against the scientific connects on the issue? Are you really that Tony Stark smart (doubt it) or has a Alex Jones-figure in your life giving you talking points to parrot?
You come off as really, really daft judging from your response on the issue.

Swamped the vote? At the current count he didn’t reach what he had in 2020.
Because he probably didn't reach that vote count in 2020. Look at the vote totals for the two major party candidates in the last three elections....
2016: Clinton: 66M Trump: 63M Total: 129M
2020: Biden: 81M Trump: 74M Total: 155M
2024 (as of now) Harris: 66M Trump: 71M Total: 137M
So the total goes up 26M in 2020, and then goes down 18M in 2024? Where did these voters come from in 2020, and where did they go in 2024? I contend that both Biden and Trump's 2020 vote counts are way off and it's due to all the mail-in ballots from the pandemic. I can see a few million people voting for the first and only time due to mass mail-in voting, but not 26 million.
Trump had no evidence that he was cheated like he claimed, but the idea that the 2020 election was "safe and secure" is ludicrous. I think there were nefarious actors on both sides counting mail-in ballots multiple times. How else did Biden get so many more votes than Clinton and Harris? And how did Trump, who was at his weakest point electorally in 2020, get more votes then than in the two elections he won?

Say that is true. Shouldn’t that be a top priority for research on how to combat it before it is too late. We should be allocating tons of funding towards this research instead of ignoring it.

I think the advent of ballot-harvesting was huge. People that would not normally leave home to vote were able to just provide their ballots to someone who drove them over. Looks like there were also plenty of Trump voters there. Now that we're "post-covid" people generally have to go and vote. They may have even been scarred off by the big numbers (i.e., big lines this time) from last time.
I'd say Trump was at his most polarizing at that time and I that we somehow lost interest and forgot about it.
I'll throw in Biden's connection to Obama and that polls have shown that nearly 40% of people do not think women should be president.

So how did trump get 71M (and counting) this go round? By your logic that figure is also inflated by 8M.
I can’t explain it, but the absence of an explanation doesn’t give credence to nefariousness.

Particularly when he's whined about cheating every time he lost; the Iowa caucus, the 2016 general when he thought he'd lose, even his lame-ass TV show not winning an Emmy. The entire narrative was driven because he's an insecure child who has to make lame excuses for his failings.

I don't think the 2020 election was stolen, but playing devil's advocate and answering the question. Based on those numbers, 71M doesn't seem far off. You can expect to gain a few million voters each election cycle, There are only 4 million more total votes between 2016 and now, so within reason of what you'd expect to see.
If someone were to rig the election, they wouldn't add 26 million votes. You just need 10 or 20,000 in a few select key states. Most elections are won by 2 or 3 swing states. They wouldn't be flooding it with 26 million votes. They'd be pushing 10,000 votes here and 10,000 there in states with close elections.

Its interesting how all this how brought new MAGAs out of the woodwork here. More fodder for my ignore list.
Enjoy your new racist, homophobic, neo-Nazi, hateful, pro fascist dictatorship, ignorant America, MAGAs. Celebrate today because in some not to distant tomorrow, you will stupidly wonder why your shitty country has become such a horrible place.

It's not man made. But it is man accelerated.
The correct term is anthropocentric global warming. Which means it's caused by humans, which includes women.

Yes, I don't think anyone is saying women don't contribute. But are you saying it didn't exist before humans? Climate change has always existed. Its just happening at a rate of 100 times (probably higher) faster than without humans.

I don't either. I just don't think Biden and Trump got 81M and 74M votes respectively.
But let's say Biden did get 81M votes, as that's what's reported. Well that's the most votes ever. So SMOOTH MOVE pushing him out for Harris who couldn't nab single delegate in the 2020 primary. Real smart.

I contend that both Biden and Trump's 2020 vote counts are way off and it's due to all the mail-in ballots from the pandemic. I can see a few million people voting for the first and only time due to mass mail-in voting, but not 26 million.
Trump had no evidence that he was cheated like he claimed, but the idea that the 2020 election was "safe and secure" is ludicrous. I think there were nefarious actors on both sides counting mail-in ballots multiple times. How else did Biden get so many more votes than Clinton and Harris? And how did Trump, who was at his weakest point electorally in 2020, get more votes then than in the two elections he won?
I think the advent of ballot-harvesting was huge. People that would not normally leave home to vote were able to just provide their ballots to someone who drove them over. Looks like there were also plenty of Trump voters there. Now that we're "post-covid" people generally have to go and vote. They may have even been scarred off by the big numbers (i.e., big lines this time) from last time.
I'd say Trump was at his most polarizing at that time and I that we somehow lost interest and forgot about it.
I'll throw in Biden's connection to Obama and that polls have shown that nearly 40% of people do not think women should be president.
Every time I bring up sexism it gets laughed at here by MAGAs. Nope, doesn't happen and women are treated equal and receive equal pay, or maybe they should just stay home and tend to the kids while Daddy works for Elon. Clearly DEI and CRT are just trying to divide the country and put the white man down.
Just think for a minute. If the dems wouldn’t have cheated in 2020, Trump would only have 2 months left to be President. Now he’ll be in the Oval till 2029. How does that feel?
lol...so why didn't they cheat this time? Why give up the oval? Why give up the senate?
Comments like this are laughable. I needed that.
We swamped the vote. To big to rig.
Swamped the vote? At the current count he didn’t reach what he had in 2020.
Because he probably didn't reach that vote count in 2020. Look at the vote totals for the two major party candidates in the last three elections....
2016: Clinton: 66M Trump: 63M Total: 129M
2020: Biden: 81M Trump: 74M Total: 155M
2024 (as of now) Harris: 66M Trump: 71M Total: 137M

So how did trump get 71M (and counting) this go round? By your logic that figure is also inflated by 8M.
I can’t explain it, but the absence of an explanation doesn’t give credence to nefariousness.
I don't think the 2020 election was stolen, but playing devil's advocate and answering the question. Based on those numbers, 71M doesn't seem far off. You can expect to gain a few million voters each election cycle, There are only 4 million more total votes between 2016 and now, so within reason of what you'd expect to see.
If someone were to rig the election, they wouldn't add 26 million votes. You just need 10 or 20,000 in a few select key states. Most elections are won by 2 or 3 swing states. They wouldn't be flooding it with 26 million votes. They'd be pushing 10,000 votes here and 10,000 there in states with close elections.
I don't either. I just don't think Biden and Trump got 81M and 74M votes respectively.
But let's say Biden did get 81M votes, as that's what's reported. Well that's the most votes ever. So SMOOTH MOVE pushing him out for Harris who couldn't nab single delegate in the 2020 primary. Real smart.
They should have pushed him aside sooner so they could have a legit selection process. I think not winning the nomination the formal way hurt her. He was not up for 4 more years. Many people saw it coming. You couldn't deny it after that debate, so they had no choice. Those who pushed him out were probably hoping he could last until yesterday, then push him out within the first year. Thats just my own opinion, I don't have anything to back that up.

It was a drop in voter turnout. Or maybe there was 26 million fraudulent votes that no one has caught onto.

Do you believe in climate change?
If you believe climate change is man made do you understand the only solution is to reduce the population by about 3 billion? That's not the winning platform you think it is.
You come off as really, really daft judging from your response on the issue.

Clinton: 66M
Trump: 63M
Total: 129M
2020:
Biden: 81M

The correct term is anthropocentric global warming. Which means it's caused by humans, which includes women.

But are you saying it didn't exist before humans?
Climate change has always existed. Its just happening at a rate of 100 times (probably higher) faster than without humans.
