Since CNN, MSNBC and Harris did not concede right away they are threats to democracy by their own definition.

I don't think she's going to concede and after looking closely at the numbers this morning I also don't think this is over.

WI 95% reported and Trump is up by 46k. Easily enough votes left to swing it her way and WI said yesterday to ignore the red wave early on because mail in would be mostly for her.

Mi Trump up by 90k with 95% reported. Same deal, still within striking range if the mail in are heavily D

PA same deal. And we know last time they had a huge 300k vote swing when the mail ins were counted.
 
G&S definitely don't like the outcome!
Silver -5%
 
Yeah, I bought yesterday, see how long it lasts and how deep it dives...
 
No concession from Harris yet. Still votes to count
In Wi she's only down 36k now with 95% reporting. She can easily take WI.
Mi she is within 75k with 95% reporting so she can easily take Mi as well.
PA she is within 160k with 94% reporting so still within reach if the majority of mail ins are for her.
AZ she is down by 100k with only 67% reporting.

Chaos is the lefts theme and her actually winning this would create massive chaos. As happy as I am to take victory lap, I am cautious of this at the same time. The left cheats and doesn't give up easily.

Anyone have any different totals? I'm using https://decisiondeskhq.com/results/2024/General/President/
 
I wonder, if the Republicans take all three houses, what will be the excuses for not making real change like bringing back gold and silver money, making massive tax cuts across the board, and so on...
 
Harris working on speech, will address country this afternoon. Biden will also address country.

I could be wrong, but I think Harris will call Trump and congratulate him on his win before she gives a concession speech. As for Biden, I assume he will publicly congratulate Trump when he gives his speech. I really don't expect any crazy speech or talk from either of them.

Just an fyi for anyone interested..........Trump didn't just win the electoral college he also won the popular vote. And from what I've heard his counts may actually increase as the day goes on.

Don't know anything about the house yet.
 


When that happened to little Barry Soetoro back in 2008, he called it a "mandate".


And, if anyone knows about man dates, it would be Barry.
 
If Trump can hold the win...it's not the finish. It's the start.

It will take 20 years to undo what these lunatics did in five years. And I wonder if the (m)asses have the stomach for it. Pain, sacrifice, and reality...seem like Kryptonite to today's pleasure-driven voters.
 


I want to see scorched earth.


 
He's right



We Just Won The First Battle
It's Time To Win The War

This election was not about fixing the economy, trade, borders, military, protecting our children etc. all so another corrupt politician or 'insider' can simply undo it [band-aid].

Not a crime if Congress allowed Congress to legally do it. Which they did.

I don't post much anymore, but I actually logged in just to make a couple quick comments and then I'll be on my way.

1). Regardless of what Tucker says, let's be abundantly clear, NOBODY is going to jail.



2). If democracy is truly the "top issue" then we've got a really, REALLY, big problem. The problem being we are NOT a democracy.
Those people who believe democracy is truly the "top issue" shouldn't even be allowed to vote. If you can't grasp the basic concept and tenet of our government how in the hell are you making an informed decision? You're not. It really is just that simple. You're not.
I believe this one irritates me more than just about anything else.
For the love of God, get it through your head, we are NOT a democracy.


3). What in the hell is wrong with Pennsylvania? Why does there seem to be more problems, issues, dilemmas, complications, controversies, glitches etc there than any other state?

4). So, I keep reading and hearing "this time is different". Oh really? Let's see what the republicans use as their excuse for not being able to get things done "this time". I'm actually extremely interested in seeing what kind of dream team gets assembled. I'm very interested in seeing what having Gabbard, Kennedy and Musk onboard actually morphs into, what exactly their roles will be and what exactly the expectations are of them (and others).

5). President Trump, you have always had the ability to talk the talk, NOW it's time to walk the walk. Do even a small(ish) percentage of the things you said you were going to do and I'll be pleasantly surprised. This is quite possibly the last good chance to establish some kind of foothold to begin to take back our country. Just do the common sense things and I'll be damn near ecstatic.

6). Lastly, I'm very glad that when I logged on I didn't see a bunch of people slamming Searcher. Now Searcher, I gotta say, I don't agree with your point of view on many subjects, but you're entitled to them no matter what. I'm just glad to see people here are not jumping your shyt and giving you grief. At least there's some class and civility being shown here.
 
No need to bash the left or make fun of them. Only adds to the division. Searcher is a decent human being and occasionally even has conversations on certain topics. If 2 people cant have a decent respectable conversation then they will never understand the others point of view.
 
We love searcher even if he is wrong on politics sometimes. Everything does not always need to filter through a political or racial prism. We share the love of PMs which trumps opposing political views.

Hi JD - good to hear from you. You are always welcome.

I think most people understand that we are a Constitutional Republic, but "democracy" has become a euphamism or short hand label. From what I saw/read, most people concerned about "our democracy" are really expressing concern about the perpetuation of our system. BTW, this idea was promoted by both Dems and GOP during the campaign - Dems afraid Trump would subvert/abolish the voting system (which was always nonsense - the public would never stand for it) and the GOP afraid that the Dems would subvert the voting population with illegal migrants.

It looks like Trump is surrounding himself with peeps that have earnest desires to effect change in their fields of interest/experience. He should also have the support of a GOP majority in the Senate and House (not sure the House majority has been confirmed yet). I think we are going to see some significant changes in the next few years.

Civility has always been the goal of the forum guidelines.
 
Trump is already working for the people!

Joel F. Salatin (born February 24, 1957) is an American farmer, lecturer, and author.

Salatin raises livestock on his Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley. Meat from the farm is sold by direct marketing to consumers and restaurants.[1]

Influenced by their Biblical understanding of earth stewardship and J. I. Rodale, Salatin's parents, William and Lucille, relocated and purchased a farm in the Shenandoah Valley in 1961 and began restoring its land.[4][5] In high school, Salatin began his own business selling rabbits, eggs, butter and chicken from the farm at the Staunton Curb Market.[4] He then attended Bob Jones University where he majored in English and was a student leader, graduating in 1979.[6][7]



Thomas Harold Massie (born January 13, 1971) is an American politician. A member of the Republican Party, Massie has been the United States representative for Kentucky's 4th congressional district since 2012. The district covers much of northeastern Kentucky, but is dominated by the Kentucky side of the Cincinnati area and Louisville's eastern suburbs.

Before joining Congress, Massie was judge-executive of Lewis County, Kentucky, from 2011 to 2012. He also founded a startup company based in Massachusetts, where he previously studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1]

Massie has been described as a libertarian Republican and a member of the Tea Party movement, which backed his candidacy for Congress in 2012.[2][3][4]

There should be a process where the MI house can vote to send Whitmer to a Waffle House to wash dishes and tend the parking lot.
