I doubt Trump is going to care enough to keep his promises. He ran to avoid jail and for the ego trip from winning - he got both, so he’s gonna coast and do whatever his handlers tell him just so long as they let him take full credit for anything positive.

They will tell him to do things that will benefit them by removing the guardrails on the economy so they can exploit the hell out of it in record time. As such, it’ll initially look good before it burns itself out, by which time most of his term will be up anyway. By that time he’ll have gotten his sycophants to ensure he is fully immune to prosecution, along with a more fully stacked Supreme Court to ensure it stays that way.

Need proof? How much has Mexico paid into the border wall, eh? Plenty of other unfulfilled promises from the first time around to point at, if you need more.

You didn’t mention a VPN, so when you said “moving” I naturally thought you meant physically… .…(ツ)…/

Can’t answer for anybody else, but from what admittedly limited information I’m aware of there are many reasons I’d not want to move to India - Modi, pollution so bad in places you can hardly see through it at times, rampant huliganism, sexism, mobs severely beating/killing people (most not even nearly for “justifiable” causes), high unemployment, castes, people still openly using public streets for restrooms, etc. Doesn’t seem like it’s any better than the Ununited States of America.

If you’re in the US, you’re already there - just give it some time for that truth to take its inevitable hold.

I don’t pay him enough attention to know, but I did say that I didn’t have much against him. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a far worse person than I care to know, all things considered. Unfortunately, there’s WAY too many of them to keep track of nowadays - my brain’s already past capacity at this point.

Yeah, used to enjoy the show, but can’t stand it since Harvey took hold. Nothing (much) against the guy, but the schtick quickly grew extremely old - you’ve seen one ep, you’ve seen 'em all. But I guess I’m too old to be the target demographic anymore.

They’ll find some way to blame Dems for anything that becomes too unpopular, and their base will willingly buy into it to avoid responsibility - until something bites them personally. It’ll take far too long for it to affect enough of them personally to save the rest of us with some semblance of rationality, though.

This.

Oh, I so needed this chuckle! Thank you!

Bullshit. EVERY group gets “hated on.” It’s just that the Venn diagram of powerful rich assholes and men (especially white) has a massive overlap, and they use and abuse the power they have without hesitation nor consideration for anyone but themselves. They deserve to be hated upon (and this is coming from a white guy), while so many others they shift blame to don’t.

I’d tell you to GFY, but you already have & just don’t realize it yet.

Can we accelerate that timeline? Say to like Jan 20, 2025 (let the kids enjoy one last chance at any snow we might be lucky enough to get)?

Depends upon how extreme the differences are. Arnold Schwarzenegger - who’s a moderate Republican (thankfully supporting Harris) - was married to Maria Shriver from the infamously Democrat-heavy Kennedy family for well over a quarter century. Bill Clinton’s (in)famous campaign adviser, James Carville, had been married to a well known Republican counterpart (Mary Matalin) since the early '90s.

What do you have difficulty exiting?

The Princess Bride.

How could you possibly have known that?!? 🤔

TBF, that’s not a very good litmus test since anyone protesting the Palestinian genocide has been accused of the same, which we all know is utter bullshit.

It’s about effing time he gets to experience what he’s been doing to all of us.

Highlight the entire headline, and perform a search on it. Even if you can’t discern the true source, there ought to be plenty of better sites to link to.
