Wouldn't doubt it . I wanna move to Scotland. As Jim Morrison said......" let's get the hell outta here, before the whole shithouse goes up in flames ".
For those that don't know, Mary Trump is a clinical psychologist.
Donald's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, was a judge on the US Court of Appeals and retired February 11, 2019. Her retirement ended an investigation of whether she had engaged in fraudulent tax schemes with her siblings that violated judicial conduct rules.

I think he's onto something. She didn't lay out much of a policy platform, she spouted word salad when asked serious questions about foreign policy and domestic issues, refused to address issues important to Americans like healthcare, taxes, wages or inflation...
In short, her campaign strategy was to say as little as possible while her supporters screamed,"but TRUUUUUUMP!!!" at everyone who questioned her. Her enthusiastic acceptance of endorsements from the likes of Dick and Liz Cheney didn't help.
Finally, she was the anointed candidate; no one voted for her nomination, so no one felt like she was "their" candidate.
Democratic turnout was down roughly 20% from 2020, which tells me the campaign strategy was anything but inspiring.
Republican turnout was also marginally down, so I think those voters just stayed home.
Folks didn't vote for third parties, either; all of them put together added up to less than 2%.
Apathy, learned helplessness, no sense that she cared about her constituents. That's my conclusion.

Yes it does. It sucks worse when it's for a victimless non crime (growing in a rec legal state) and you're convicted of helping people- people with cancer, FFS.
It pretty much ruins your faith in justice and your trust in government, nevermind law "enforcement."
America has been a Fascist State for a lot longer than we frogs in the boiling pot realize.

This is not true. There might be a process, such as in Florida, but I don't think there is any state left that outlaws felons from voting forever.

Yep. A similar order was given to the Navy to destroy Nordstream.

I firmly believe it was because a lot of people, including female democrats, are reluctant to vote for a woman to be president. Centuries of patriarchal brainwashing goes deep. With the enthusiasm seen at all of Kamala'a rallies the vote count should have been as high or higher than the total for 2020 but I'd bet real money that a lot stayed home rather than vote for either.
The Gaza thing for sure but mostly in the younger voters. Now he's doing it to Lebanon as well. If he isn't held accountable for war crimes then what's the use.
Prophesy holds that Armageddon begins in the middle east then spreads to engulf us all. But tRump says he'll fix it on day one so nothing to worry about there.
Living way up north in Bumf**k, Alberta is looking better all the time. lol

Will miss you dude. Plenty of places on the interweb to bash it out with trolls so I don't mind keeping my jets cool in here. Cut my trollish teeth battling trolls on USENET back in the day before all this. Still have access to all that but rarely visit. Need to get back in there and download all the music albums I have in my collection then sell the near new LPs for real money. Used to record them to TDK 90 min cassettes and put them away in vinyl sleeves.
Take care out there.

Fraud doesn't matter? Inciting a coup attempt doesn't matter? Stealing and distributing classified documents doesn't matter?
Maybe on your planet it doesn't matter but the one I've been living on for 70 years takes a very dim view of such things and it damn well matters a lot.
Integrity matters. Honesty matters. Respect matters. Fair play matters. Values that tRump and his minions tossed out long ago for power and wealth above all things.
That stuff matters to anyone with a shred of decency.

I think this is part true. More than "wont vote for a woman" which is likely more an issue on the other side, reps considering crossing over the line, id wager "wont vote for a woman just cause shes a woman and its their turn now".I firmly believe it was because a lot of people, including female democrats, are reluctant to vote for a woman to be president. Centuries of patriarchal brainwashing goes deep. With the enthusiasm seen at all of Kamala'a rallies the vote count should have been as high or higher than the total for 2020 but I'd bet real money that a lot stayed home rather than vote for either.

I see so many confused talking heads on TV uttery in complete cognitive dissonance on why their perfect candidate didnt win. Then you need to reconsider your ideals of perfection. Did voters think that she, being part of the biden administration, had really achieved anything for them? Enough that a process of anointment would suffice? In a very real scenario where people connect to real measurable achievements rather than what seems to have been viewed as a nepo baby?
Biden should have stepped down way earlier for a normal primary process and if Kamala really was next in line ahe should have gotten something juicy in the admin that she could work and have ownership of. It doesnt seem like she was perceived as someone in place due to what shes done but rather who she was. I think meritocracy is a winning concept in the next cycles, but lets also remember that it needs to be perceived as such by general public. Or at least you need to be perceived as able to change things up more than the incumbent.
These are just my ideas, not to be taken as an insult or in any way support for the actual result.

Kind of funny how Trump hasn't even taken office yet but he's already done more than Biden did in 4 years. Shit is getting done and it's already happening. Light speed.

I'm sure he has a concept of a plan for all those problems so should all be taken care of in his first 100 days or sooner without a doubt.

I stand corrected. Though it wasn't always that way.
