Election Year or Fear!

Well, they say he was a frequent guest on Jeffrey Epstein's island...

Funnily enough, the Harris supporters have more than their fair share of dodgy characters. Perhaps P Diddys antics will be worrying a few right now.

Maybe a Presidential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell might be an addition to your list, MA…and I’m not sure if I’m joking.

That's just reminded me of something I forgot to mention, namely, those jailed for Jan 6th offences at the Capitol will get Presidential Pardons.

I'm sure if any of you have been watching the news debates on US tv, the reason is clear.
Yes its racism lol

The white majority have done this purely out of racism, ignoring the previously mentioned ethnic voting shift away from the Dems.
You couldn't make it up,

…and yet you have. To the best of my knowledge, one commentator - David Axelrod - has suggested that not just racism but s*xism too ‘played a part’ in Harris’ defeat.

It’s perfectly possible, as much of the U.S. is quite regressive in its attitude to race and gender…however there is a difference between one commentator referring to racism and s*xism ‘playing a part’ (he also praised the Trump campaign) and what you have implied.

I’m also fairly sure of one other thing…you are not going to see disappointed Harris supporters and Democrats behaving in the way Trump supporters did in Washington after he’d lost last time around.

Thank God for peace on this forum if nowhere else that Trump won the popular vote as well as the electoral college

So perhaps we can close the thread now?

Agreed. Fears may continue but the elections are done.

The Democrats ****ed this one up royally. Biden clung on and nobody had the guts to shift him before it was too late, Harris was a very weak candidate and seemed to think offering hope was all that was required.

But the rank stupidity of the US electorate is mind boggling, but then again millions in the Uk voted for a party led by a known liar and incompetent in Johnson, who I would not be surprised will reappear again.

Still I'm sure the billionaires will be happy and we shall see the benefits flow towards the "working class" and poor in the US that voted for the criminal...NOT!!

Swale: "now there will be 2 Leaders of Western "democracies" with criminal convictions/charges welcome to the age where being a criminal and openly lying is no bar to success."

I didn't know Starmer had convictions!

Ha ha, I was of course referring to Bibi!

So, in the space of a couple of hours you’ve gone from 60% of U.S. voters thought immigration was ‘very important’ to it being ‘at the front of their gripes’…because it suits your narrative.

No one is disputing that the question of immigration is ‘very important’…and that’s not just the case in the U.S, however Trumps rallying cry throughout this election has been, ‘are you better off now than you were five years ago’…and that, imo, has been where this election has been won and lost.

Have you seen Trump’s famous wall? I have, or at least a large chunk of it between Arizona and Mexico. It’s a joke…let’s just say the East Germans of the early 1960’s could have taught him a thing or two.

Thicky is wrong, the economy was the main issue and the fools believed he will "fix" it, nuff said really.
