How many will Trump actually deport? How many will he be able to deport, after the Democrats go to working the courts? What will he do on China? Will he really bring back American industry (if so don't try and reverse the Chips Act) to the US? Or will he end up letting Asian countries slap America around? Need more stick in Asia and a lot fewer carrots. Will he make the Germans pay their fair share on defense? What if there is a state act of terrorism from Russia, Iran, North Korea, or China? Will he confront the aggressor and order a retaliation? Or will he fear escalation?

It's not just about retirement. There are a lot of the elderly on the Supreme Court, and they can suddenly die, as was the case with Scalia.

Even CNN and MSNBC have given in and now say Trump won. I don't think anybody thought the election would be decided this fast and this overwhelmingly. I didn't. I thought Harris would win. The closest thing I can remember to this is the 1980 election, when exit polls gave it to Reagan about 10 minutes after the polls closed.

Eat your peas, and shut up about it.

I remember the riots and rampages from 2016. I expect a repeat. Don't forget the burned cars and wrecked buildings during the inauguration in 2017, too. Antifa and BLM won't go quietly into the night.

Mike and Mitch (unless he follows through with his promise to resign as majority leader) will be in charge. What do you think?

Without a doubt, G W Bush was the worst president in history. If there is any single thing to be thankful to Trump for, it was his destruction of the Bush dynasty.

Biden had important policies enacted. None more important than the Chips Act. He blundered going after Elon Musk, opening the border, and letting the Trans activists run wild. Harris would have helped with none of those things. She avoided having a press conference for her entire campaign. She picked the inauthentic and downright goofy Tim Walz as her vp. She appears weak. People want change from the way things are going, and she didn't offer to change anything. BTW, I, too, would like to see a woman as president. I hope it's Tulsi in '28. I've criticized Trump often on this forum. I'll continue to do so, because I don't trust him, and I think he's lazy. What will he actually do with illegal immigration? What will he actually do with China? Will he make Europe pay? Got to see results.

I'm waiting for a bipartisan bill that bars congress from investing in the stock market. If that doesn't cause Pelosi to be checked into a home, then nothing will.

The Bidens have reasons to be angry. There is a case to be made that Joe did a fair to good job, especially with the economy and his reindustrialization policy. And it wasn't just Harris who stabbed him in the back. It was also Pelosi. Somebody posted earlier about a tell all book from Biden. I don't know if Joe and Nancy have enough years left to publish one, but they'll be gunning for each other. Funny thing. If Joe hadn't opened up the border and flooded the country with illegal aliens and pushed it down everyone's throat, I think the Dems could have won this election. But, this is who they are and what you get when you elect them.

Ted Cruz wins again. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/politics/elections/election-results-ted-cruz-colin-allred-senate-race/287-11e764e2-cb3e-4e47-9c94-9d972a21004c

Portland is a good place for a riot. So, too, would be San Francisco, Seattle, LA, Chicago, NYC, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Boston, and Martha's Vineyard. Just hold back the police and fire departments and wait until they are all gone.

Take away all their privileges. All of them. Medical, financial, access. The can all go deliver mail instead.

US dollar up against the Thai baht. That's good.

Well, if Vivek does as promised, they should began hacking away at the DOJ, IRS, Education Dept asap.

Person with the biggest grin on his face tonight must be Joe Biden.

Eliminate the federal retirement system and let the feds rely solely on SSA like the people they rule over.

I'd really like to see Trump appoint Lilly Tang Williams as his ambassador to China.

I posted on AN last night that Moo Deng needed to keep his head down.

I would put in a buy market order for European defense contractors, because they are going to need to start paying their own way now.

I wonder how much that Democrat death squad executing Peanut played in all this. I'll bet it made a measurable impact.

It looks like Trump has solid enough numbers now that this will be hard to turn around. Also looks like I was wrong. I really did expect Harris to win and do so easily. And I still don't like Trump, but I do like having Tulsi and RFKjr around. I will be hoping for Tulsi in '28.

I think before all this vp stuff, Walz had the senate next in mind on his career track. That may have just been derailed.

Might be funny if Trump named Nigel Farage an Honrary Consul General and bypassed the State Department.

If this lead for Trump holds and he gets AZ, then indeed this will be very bad news for Starmer and, in particular, Lammy
