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.
The situation is continually getting worse. That was happens when a system rots from within. Not just the usa - across western democracies.
We better start caring before we're at the wake.
The time for caring was before voting in Trump again. This is the era of zero ****s to give
We will have to see the general state of things in 4 years
The time for caring was around the Watergate era. It was after then that the pardon should have been removed from the POTUS's toolbox.
Lets not use the fact we should have started caring long ago as an argument against starting to care now.
It might be too late but then again It might not be.
What standard? Joe stood on his principles and received a fat loogie to the face for doing so.
I challenge anyone who is pretending to care about this Hunter Biden pardon to find at least one Trump pardon that is significantly worse. Have one moment of honesty with yourself and the world you pathetic losers.
You know, like maybe this guy, who I found by random sliding my scroll wheel and stopping
Here is the list:
I'll pick the 200m ponzi scheme guy Weinstein. I don't care about the Hunter thing but no matter how you slice the other guy's stuff is Way worse.
He's already nailed again--for another big ponzi scheme lol

Our fist contestant. Shockingly easy, right?
This guy committed a 6.7 million dollar fraud while waiting for the 200 million fraud trial and surprisingly he committed another 35 million $ fraud after getting pardoned by Trump as a personal favor for his lawyer Alan Dershowitz
Where is Land o' Lakes?
I mean, jesus christ, the guy directly below Weinstein on the list owed 350 million in fines and restitution and had his 835 year sentence pardoned for some reason
Here's a little something to help coordi and jalfrezi with their coping:

Heres a little something to help with Republicans cope over Democrat lies or questionable ethics:
Do I want my president to lie? No
Do I want my president to perform frivolous pardons? No
Do I blame Biden for protecting his son against Trump? No
Do I think its pathetic sophistry for anyone to pretend like they actually care about this? Yes
its complicated. two things can be true at once. sophistry.
No-one cares about the pardon. It's just the blatant hypocrisy that gets up people's noses.
It is amusing though seeing liberals tying themselves in knots trying to explain it and resorting to screaming "Trump is worse blah blah blah".

None of you care about hypocrisy either.
Which is the entire point of me calling every single one of you out and why not a single one of you is willing to engage in a normal human conversation.
I was told to stop insulting you guys but you really are a pathetic bunch of weasels who stand for nothing and I dunno if I can stop calling it like I see it.

Welcome to my world .
Aside from presidential pardons being a stupid concept in general, I don't think anyone really cares about Biden pardoning his son. Everyone else would do the same. Why not. You have his broad power to effectively make people immune from the law. No repercussions either. May as well.
What people care about is the repeated lies of him saying he wouldn't do it. And his press secretary repeatedly saying he wouldn't do it. And if anyone asked about it, press secretary shutting them up and saying it's
I was 100% with you until the bolded part .
people voted trump for honesty and truth ?
Are you freakn serious ?
Joe Pardoned Hunter for all crimes he might be involved in starting on Jan 1, 2014.
Why did he pick that date?
Because 2014 is when the CIA/State Dept took over Ukraine. 2014 is when Hunter’s biolab company, Metabiota, began looking for coronaviruses in Ukraine.
Joe is not just covering the drug and gun possession charges. Joe is running cover for all of Hunter’s criminality in Ukraine, which is really Joe’s criminality in Ukraine.
This is not just a pardon for Hunter. This is a pardon for JOE!
China banning rare earth exports to the us will sure provide an early test for trump's famed negotiation skills.
lol

They've estimated, based on the numbers of people w/ guns and that use drugs, that over 20 million people that use drugs bought a firearm and didn't check that box.
And how many were prosecuted? Just Hunter.
Only other time it happens is when it's weapons dealers.
So go ahead and make your false equivalency... none of us are falling for it.
Trump will declare martial law at some point. Monkey see monkey do.
Sir, the election is over. You can stop with the democracy is at risk stuff. Voters already saw through that BS.
I'm not so sure we can say that democracy isn't at risk. We just had someone who almost became President without being selected by voters in a primary. We've got pardons for undisclosed crimes going back 11 years, which is an oddly specific number. We were also assured our President was mentally fit, until it was apparent he isn't. Don't forget that they is still officially serving as President. We don't know who is making the decisions right now. Voters saw these threats to democracy.
The pardon is bad. Of course it's a particularly distasteful kind of elitism. As to his stupid declaration that he wouldn't, then did ... I think that's about him over confident that you know who wouldn't be in power. At that point, with revenge on the upcoming national agenda, he did the corrupt(?) thing to help his son. Democracy and the rule of law way in eclipse.
Minions, sycophants, henchmen, lackeys, acolytes ... flying monkeys?
