Re: Current Events...
I'm also wondering about these veep picks. Vance was/is horrific....but Walz was a dud as well.
What happened to choosing someone who will help the ticket? Remember those days?
Just curious, what’s your issue with Vance? I bought into the media hype that’s he’s a nut, but I was thoroughly impressed by him during the VP debate. I thought Walz was pretty good too. Left watching that wishing those were the two candidates for President. That gave Trump a boost in the polls after Kamala was gaining some momentum. Maybe anything would have been refreshing after watching the Trump/Biden and Trump/Harris debates though. The bar certainly wasn’t set very high.
Everything I’ve seen and heard from Vance though, I’ve been impressed with. Granted, it’s limited to the debate and some other clips here & there. But he seems well spoken, knowledgeable, accountable, etc.

QUICK somebody get a cooler full of mail in ballots to PA STAT
Statements like this make me feel like I should've voted for Harris. If we can't agree that the orange guy lost in 2020, then what common ground do we have? Trump lost the 2020 election. I voted for that crazy guy today. How do you expect to bring aboard people like me? This tocix cycle is doomed to repeat itself again no matter who is running. Does anyone on this forum really think he won in 2020?
I don’t want to get into a whole conspiracy theory here, and I know the totals aren’t all in yet, but it is a little interesting that there were 11 million fewer votes for Harris than Biden and Trump’s vote total was about the same. Did 11 million who voted for Biden just not like Harris enough to vote for anyone this time? I realize the landscape was different with Covid, mail in ballots, etc. but 11 million missing votes is a pretty large amount.

It's an untenable narrative. Supposedly 11 million extra people came out with a strictly anti-Trump vote and suddenly none of these people bother to stop Trump this time around.
Biden had 95% of registered democrats voting for him. That is an insane number. His rallies were empty, so it was obviously not because of enthusiasm for him as a candidate. With Kamala getting none of these extra votes you gotta wonder what the hell is going on.
I stayed up all night watching that count. Trump was way ahead everywhere until suddenly they stopped counting, and then the next day all the votes had apparently gone to Biden.

Yeah, Vance has really shined this election.
People are saying the dems should have had a primary and elected somebody other than Harris. But does anyone actually believe they would have bypassed the sitting Vice President who happens to be a black woman for any other person?

Yeah, I was monitoring early on Tuesday night and all the projections were Trump was going to win and by a decent margin. And those kept getting stronger as the night went on, but I still didn’t trust them. But it did play out that way, which was shocking. Never thought he’d win the popular vote. Like you said, the whole democratic platform and campaign was Trump is Hitler and “anybody but Trump”. Apparently that didn’t work? Were the 11 million more people that voted against him just fed up with the last four years? Doesn’t really add up.
Re: Current Events...
Some of these cabinet nominations are horrible . Gaetz for AG? Gabbard for National Intelligence Chief? GTFO with this.
At least some of the guys from the first term were actually qualified. Whatever I feel about Jeff Sessions , the guy was actually qualified for the damn position given that he served as a US attorney and was the Alabama AG.
Re: Current Events...
They're just Trump loyalists and he doesn't want to have to worry about someone he appointed coming from behind and shiving him or making the agenda not the focus.
I have a lot of crow to eat for what I believed during his first term and I am going to try very hard to never get emotional about politics again. I don't blame him for not wanting to always be looking over his shoulder at the people he appointed.
I cannot vote for another Democrat if they continue on this path. I will not be a part of this until they start purging these absolute misinformed psychopaths. Trump needs to kill WOKE dead. It needs to be stomped to death. I don't know if it's possible, but that's what is needed. DEI is a big fucking joke and as someone who hires a lot of college girls fresh out of school, I can tell you these people are total wimps. They cannot handle anything and somehow they have a college degree. Absolutely no initiative and constant hand holding...it never ends and all they care about is social rewards. There is almost know interest in the actual job...it's all about social lives and chit chatting.
How can they charge so much for a college education and they come out totally useless??? Competence and merit mean nothing to these people. We're all equal and I, as their boss, what I say ought to be held on the same level as someone fresh out of college.
I'm disgusted what this DEI agenda has delivered. From the average totally uninformed college kid to the perfect DEI presidential candidate...WOKE has got to go...it's getting us nowhere fast. These girls feel totally entitled to do and say whatever they want and not be held accountable for it.
Is there any fixing this?

I’m still trying to figure out Virginia
Part of Virginia is a giant suburb of DC I think...so that explains that...development that only occurred over the past say 30-40 years?
Colorado (and New Mexico) is a different story. From what little I know...these states were infiltrated by tons of Latino immigrants over the past couple decades. So I think that somewhat explains it.
