O/T:- Betting odds for US Election [The USA Politics Thread]

[Jampie]

It's not really confidence , Trump was relatively successful during his first term. The fact that once he won his second term, the stock market rocketed shows what the money men (and women) believe he can do with the economy.

Already trumpistanis taking credit for the Biden economy. Look at the year to date graphs. After a short election bump (normal for elections) it's back to trend. What is trump taking the credit for there?

What were his first term successes. What were his economic policies that were successful and what did they achieve?

I once said on here, that if Trump found a cure for cancer, there would still be many that would berate him. It's astounding the negativity from the British media towards him and of course, that transposes to people's views. I think that says more about the media than anything. The same media that covered up for Joe Biden when everyone who wasn't one-eyed could see for years about his decline. The same media that touted Kamala Harris as the great hope for the world.

Surely there comes a time when people question what they are being fed?

Every single commercial news outlet, including the Murdoch ones you seem oddly aligned to, is a propaganda outlet for their owners. Every last one.

Most of the government funded ones are too.

How many people actually died because of January 6th? You keep making claims, but they're unsubstantiated.

One person died after being shot in the shoulder by police - Ashli Babbit, a Trump supporter.

Four other deaths have been attributed to the event. Three were natural causes and one a drugs overdose.

Can you prove any different, because apart from left-wing propaganda, I can't see any unbiased reports that show different.

Now at least 25 people died during the Portland riots of 2020 after George Floyd died. Are those deaths not important?

4 other police officers committed suicide soon after, nearly 200 police officers were injured. Many feared for their lives including Pence the VP who Trump wanted to overthrow the Constitution.

But hey, all political.

Of course, all related to the protests on January 6th. What about the guy who threw himself off the Petronas Towers on the 7th January in Malaysia - that must have been related to January 6th too. Absolute BS.

Here I've posted below to help you.



I see the loonie left, are getting into their stride too. Already nominees for roles in the new US administration have been threatened with bomb attacks, threatening phone calls and prank police call outs to their homes. They won't succeed.

[QUOTE=Jampie;40609007]I have seen no evidence that he's clever. Cunning, yeah. A solid con-man (the greatest in history perhaps) but not particularly bright at all.

I agree he will have learned from last time though. If he a pulls a Jan 6 again, for sure he will stack the Pentagon first. I expect him to deal with the military's lack of personal loyalty to him early on.[QUOTE]

The military may not like him personally but they do vote Republican.

Just about sums up the political world and it's complacency. (Boy, that woman can talk!)

Here's his Thanksgiving Message:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Don?t worry, our Country will soon be respected, productive, fair, and strong, and you will be, more than ever before, proud to be an American!

Great words from Trump - very inspiring.

Meanwhile, the great Democratic hope, Kamala Harris has just rolled off another load of jumbled words explaining why she lost. It's worth a watch of the unedited version, because to me, she sounds like she's drunk.

Apparently she blew over US$1.5 billion in the Democrat election debacle. However, I think she would blow much higher into a breathalyzer.

Her advisors have said, 'don't write her off before the next election'. Here's a quiz for you - rearrange the letters "of - completely - touch - out".

has it occurred to you that you might be a little in denial over being a Trump apologist/fanboy?

eta: and a little old for all this hero worship?

This has always bothered me about Trump. He just can't communicate like an adult when talking to large groups of people. I get that his target audience will lap this up, but it just makes him look weak and detracts from any of the serious stuff he's trying to achieve. It also plays into the hands of his detractors. Whether you like him or not, Trump clearly has some strong leadership qualities, but this sort of message doesn't help his cause.

The same goes for Musk. He's achieved remarkable things, but he has this childish approach that undermines his credibility.
