I think it's already clear that he is not going to.

Meh, I don't really care much.

The illegals should get no welfare at all, even if there was an amnesty, until they become citizens. The ones who want to work will, those who don't can go back. Troops within a few miles of the border is fine. If all the ones overseas were recalled, we have the troop strength to do the job correctly.

The ones with a criminal background can go back where they came from and sort their situation out there. I honestly don't care about why they have a criminal history. I also have no problem with deporting an illegal who breaks our laws. What Trump wants to do is impractical. There is no reasonable way to deport over 10 million people. I think it's better to just have an amnesty period for the ones with no criminal history other than the illegal border crossing. Then going forward, actually control the border.

I am ok with bringing the troops home and using them to control the border. I actually really like the idea, and think in a practical sense it would work. I don't like the idea of using the military to round up the illegals. Yes we should round up the ones with a criminal record in their home country or the ones who commit crimes here and deport them. The rest it's just not practical. I'd rather see an amnesty period where a green card is issued to anyone who wants one. After that period, anyone who is still undocumented can be deported. As far as a day one dictator goes, I think because the left hates Trump so much he just might have to do recess appointments to get his cabinet. Nornally I wouldn't be for it, but times are strange. It might be the only way to have a cabinet.

Where would this idea leave Maine? You'd need a passport to cross NH.

Allegedly things are going to be different this time?

Hopefully Trump follows through and withdraws from NATO. Let the Euros fight the Russians if they want to. Not our problem.

They aren't going to get nukes over there in 2 months, so this is a non-issue.

Why? It's just showing the world how insane the Democratic party has become. Biden lost the election and Zelensky lost the war. Are they trying to start WW3 before Trump takes office? Because they are sore losers or what reason?

Yes, he was elected to another term. So he could just take his seat in January if he wanted to. Johnson said he does not want the report released. I don't know if that changes if Gaetz comes back to the house.

Perhaps Bolton should be investigated as well?

It's not bad. None of this would have been my first choice, but I know the country will be fine. I voted for it.

They don't get along, that probably won't happen. DeSantis won't appoint anyone who didn't back his presidential run.

Governor of Florida

They will. Nothing is going to happen.

GOP almost surely is getting AK and probably CA 13 and 41. They will have at least 218. I don't expect much. The war in Ukraine is going to end, WW3 won't start. Inflation will slow. Thing will be generally better, but not spectactular. That's about as good as it gets.

I feel like she may be the one who is a good influence on him. Keeping the crazy away. A few times you could see her give him the look when he started to go off the rails.

I hope so and the UN too.

Not really, I feel like the new improved slightly milder version of Trump probably won't get us all killed and the economy will be ok. I think if he does a whole lot of nothing like his first term, that is the best we can hope for.

Democrats were scared to venture outside during Covid.

Well, yes. Bringing a meritless case before the courts and having it dismissed is litigation.

I have to admit, watching Walz cry today put a smile on my face. It almost made having to vote for Trump worth it.

The answer is lack of enthusiasm. These were two deeply unpopular candidates. Democrats rallied around Biden to get rid of Trump, they did not get behind Harris in the same way, she had exremely poor approval polling. I still have seen no proof of widespread fraud in 2020. It's been litigated to death, it just didn't happen.

The GOP candidate was horrible, had a porn scandal.

I think he's going to win. I just voted for him for the first time. It was a combination of Harris's complete incompetence, the horrible LP candidate and RFK's endorsement pushed me over the edge. If I could be persuaded, I think a lot more like me will. Orange man is still a reprehensible individual, but the country will be fine if he wins.

NH will be Harris and NV will be Trump. Trump wins 287 to 251. Trump can lose PA and still win.

Trump has historically always overperformed the polling. So if that remains the case, he is headed for a convincing win. I'm not really thrilled about another 4 years of him, but I think everything will be fine for the country.

They do blame Trump and there are a lot of Puerto Ricans in PA. I'm not sure of the exact numbers but places in places like Reading and Allentown they may even be a majority by now. It may not matter in the end as they probably were not Republicans anyway.

It did bite somebody. RIP tree rat. I hate the things. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/02/peanut-squirrel-euthanized-new-york
