We can still try to obstruct via filibuster and other mechanisms. (Republicans have already shown us how to do it effectively.) But certainly no progress can be made for the next four years.

Nah, Russia could barely handle a Ukraine with heavy restrictions on how they could use weapons.

Poland could kick Russia’s ass.

In the short term, Russia will probably be pacified, because they got their guy in office. Long term that causes an escalation in the new Cold War going on. Ukraine is probably fucked - they probably can’t survive four years with diminished support.

Tensions with China will escalate quickly, since Trump promised to enact absolutely bonkers tariffs.

Palestine is probably fucked, since Trump seems to want Israel to escalate the conflict. Netanyahu seems quite pleased.

I’m not as doom and gloom about the environment though - economics will continue to force renewable energy. As we all know, money has a whole lot more power than Trump ever will. He can slow it down, but economics always wins.

Barring something extreme, probably so. There might be legal challenges available but it does not look like Pennsylvania was close enough to possibly flip.

Only one candidate said they want to be a dictator if elected, and (spoiler alert) it wasn’t Kamala.

It’s not an exemption for one person if you say that a felony related to undermining an election stops you from being able to vote. I think that’s fair enough.

In this you’re solving 8 wordles at the same time. So green letters are in the correct place, and yellow letters are in the word but in the wrong place. It may help to focus on one at a time like a normal wordle, and see how many you can get solved before you run out of guesses.

The problem is that a judge, by virtue of being human, is incapable of impartiality.

If there were some sort of computer code that turned the legal system into a hard science that would be amazing, but I doubt that’s even possible.
