Agreed. Long may it continue. He is a smart guy and has plenty to add when he isn't being a smug pou-obsessed troll. I remember when you used to be the target back in the day. He can be f**king relentless.
And we can all have equal claim to play the victim on here too when it suits... I just reply where and how I see fit, and don't bother with the worry about who's saying what about anyone else, to be honest.

The electoral college system means that the popular vote is irrelevant.
Indeed it does.
Both parties knew which states were going to decide the election and the Republicans dominated where it counts.
That is true.
The swings against the Democrats were unprecedented in many locations. Only a fool would suggest it was anything other than a resounding victory to the Republicans. It was over well before most US elections are decided.
Not trying to be a fool, just taking solace that 49-ish percent of actual US voters chose not go "full Trump". I think he definitely maximised his base into votes, and hopefully the way he conducts his presidency this time will bring more of the stay-at-homers to actually cast their vote in 2028.

I hope he is successful, just like I wished Biden was. Time will tell.

You think that "threat" made the difference? Lol.

Thanks for your contribution to the commentary though, and positive comment. I'll patiently await reinstatement of unrestricted posting status (in certain threads, use of likes etc) whenever mods/admins deem fit....
They make decisions like restrictions to certain threads for good reason.
It's good you have taken note.

A long line of Hitlers I guess ... and their supporters all seemed happy to cheer it on ...




Obama named "The Deporter In Chief" .... predominantly "criminals" who comitted minor crimes like traffic offences
Lady from the Australian Jewish Council is on the ABC right now talking about Elon’s antisemetic hitler gesture.

cool ... I don't think he is a lovely fella ..... of course the ABC are hardly unbiased also

I also don't think the Trump administration is antisemetic

They sought her out to discuss it
They sought her out to discuss the Maroubra childcare centre that was caught up in the mess (they are not aligned to a religion, just close to Mt Sinai school). They wanted to talk about that and the emergency cabinet meeting yesterday. She brought up Elon, the reporters didn't. They also raised the intelligence that OS peeps were paying non-aligned criminal gangs in bitcoin to carry out these hate crimes.

Facts matter.

I'm still processing that 77million people turned up of their own free will - no compulsory voting or fines etc - to vote in Trump, after having already had a taste of him before.

Sure 75million voted for Harris too... but I would have thought that faced with two candidates perhaps best described as "poor" quality - since it's evident the democrats really botched up their succession planning - less people would have been bothered to turn up and voluntarily for either?

I guess the divisive nature of Trump worked both ways - galvanising people of "his persuasion" to come out and support him, while also galvanising people to come out against him and give their votes to Harris anyway.
he actually got 15m more votes than in 2016
so 15 million Americans saw his first shit show and said "I will have some more of that please"
