Trump 2nd term prediction thread

Trump 2nd term prediction thread

So, looks like Trump not only smashed the electoral college, but is looking on track to win the popular vote, which seems to be an unexpected turn of events, but a clear sign of the current temperature in the country and perhaps the wider world.

Would be interested to hear views on how his 2nd term will pan out from both sides of the aisle - major happenings, what he's going to get done, what he's not going to get done, the impact of his election on the current conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, whether his popularity will remain the same, wane, or increase, etc.

A bit of an anemic OP, I know, just interested to hear people's thoughts now that the election uncertainty is over.

There's not enough popcorn in the world to handle the dumpster-fire we'll all be watching the next four years. What a way for a country like ours to go down. It's straight out of the movie Idiocracy.

It's going to be an absolute hoot. Can't wait.

So you mean when bill gates bought his way out of antitrust bigger problems by helping bush those weren't normal times?

In normal times people had to provide proof of accusations like yours. Like I said, those times have passed.

I think people like you are pretty sure it will be a disaster because in some sense if it is NOT a disaster (doesn't even have to be good, just meh) you would have to reevaluate a lot of assumptions about how the world works.

Starting from the fact that what you guys define as "fascism" isn't necessarily so bad at all for citizens.

Cute.

He might have had consensual sex with a gorgeous at the time 17y old which is an age at which you can legally marry in 46 states, outrageous!!! Terrible!!!!

I suppose your life of meth addiction, vagrancy, and stealing Starbucks WiFi to post here and own the libs is unlikely to be affected regardless of what happens.

Accusations? It's uncontroversial history (and one of the main reasons why republicans today forget that bill gates isn't a leftist).

This is the guardian (a source you trust I guess) claiming the same

Yeah when you are on the side of the government!

You really are a true libertarian , defender of freedom and wanting less government in people’s life …
LOL.

Fascism = freedom !

It's illegal where it occurred but of course by Republican logic, it's not illegal if it's legal someplace else.

I guess that means abortions are now legal in all 50 states.


Btw Biden DoJ decided where were no charges to press against Gaetz re sexual crimes but presumably Biden is a republican I suppose

More brilliant Republican logic:

Press charges - means lawfare against political enemies

Don't press charges - means no crime was committed

The alleged actions if they had happened might have been illegal, but I guess we are past the time where you have to prove stuff in court and even if prosecutors don't pursue the matter you are still certain which is kinda the logic of playbig

Why are you sure Gaetz had sex with a 17y old in a state where it was illegal to do so?

I believe they had the evidence to charge him but the main witnesses were not trustworthy so they didn’t pursue it.

In any case I think calling Gaetz a pedophile for having sex with a 17 year old is stupid.

And when convicted it was a sham if a Republican is condemn ….

"Doubts" is not proof, at least not in this country.


Friendly reminder that trump is ineligible to be president according to the constitution.

Don’t hate the cats , they deserve attention too !


America, may I present your new Attorney General:

Gaetz showed nude photos of women he said he’d slept with to lawmakers, sources tell CNN

Gaetz allegedly showed off to other lawmakers photos and videos of nude women he said he had slept with, the sources told CNN, including while on the House floor. The sources, including two people directly shown the material, said Gaetz displayed the images of women on his phone and talked about having sex with them. One of the videos showed a naked woman with a hula hoop, according to one source.

What in the everloving ****????


I'm very much a cat person. I should post pictures of my cats.



Gaetz will take a flame thrower to the pile of chit that Merrick Garland has left us. Thank God the one thing McConnell did right was keep that asshat Garland off the Supreme Court. Great pick! MAGA!
