Trump NEVER lies about what he wants to do. He always lies about his accomplishments.

Unless anyone here has spent time on other social media platforms that are unfiltered you really don’t have a clue what a cesspool of troll farm propaganda that has been pouring out for the last several months.

And it all stopped last night.

Non-stop made-up bullshit blaming Harris for the last four years for some completely undefined fault, high fuel prices even though they’re down, grocery prices, inflation, cost of housing, etc. etc. Just a steady sewer pipe drain of dreck for months. I bet Putin got his money’s worth.

Unfortunately popular votes or the lack thereof don’t decide the election for either side.

Straight up misuse of the word.

Can I actually use “straight” in that sentence?

TBF if trump wins it will absolutely NOT be because the majority of Americans voted for him, quite the opposite actually. It will be because he won the electoral college votes necessary to become president, which has been the case for every winning republican’s initial run for decades now. So basically the entire US election mostly boils down to the few voters in US swing states.

It would be a massive shocker if any “solid” states switched sides.

A segment of our society has a violent streak and an entirely different view of what they want democracy to look like, and they are well experienced at organizing for mob justice. Beating them at their own game while maintaining real objectivity will be difficult; not the being objective part, but actually getting the system to punish this behavior.

“I still think it was rigged,” said Maleesa Meyers, 55, who like some Republican voters said her distrust in the process is too deep-rooted to believe the election could be fair. “It’s very hard to trust anyone today.”

Quoth the people that have done absolutely everything they can to break the trust in the election process.

They’ll just be told to blame everyone else for their suffering, just like they have been for decades now. It’s all going to be heaped on the same old tired bogeymen: illegals, libs, the nebulous educated elite, etc.

Meh, just a spoiled man-child making defeatist pity-me comments now that the time to pay the piper is approaching. “Maybe I shouldn’t have been such a dumbass and actually tried to do some real work…”

I’ll offer that this seems to be (somewhat?) true in Canada as well. The pic on the menu was pretty much exactly what I received on my plate. I was surprised because I’m used to the usual “glamor shots” you get on US menus, the perfectly plated dish vs the whatever you actually get. The menu photo seems much more realistic in Canada.
