It's clear major change was needed. The Democratic message that really frosted me was "The economy is fine. What's the matter with YOU?" Corporate greed ran rampant - hell, they even BRAGGED about it. Instead of using pressure to stop corporate price gouging, the Biden administration tried that old tactic of giving the people a few crumbs before the election in the hope to win them over. Not so different from Musk offering that million dollar offer to buy votes. Obviously that didn't work and we now have the only alternative that was available. This will prove disasterous. The choices for the new cabinet belong on an Onion website as ridiculous as they are. The incoming regime will destroy the gubmint and rebuild it in a White Christian Nationalist vision. That's what the majority of the voters asked for, let's see how happy they are when reality sets in.

And some posters aren't smart enough to comprehend an entire response, it taxes their little lizard brains too much.

The trouble is the incoming guy's agenda is far too extreme and will show to be downright cruel - AGAIN. Should the Biden administration have done more? Absolutely! This whole damned thing boils down to BOTH sides refusing to make common sense laws cuz it wins too many votes. All that is needed is real border security (enforced!) and an easy to obtain worker visa. Until humane policies are put in place, this football will be kicked back and forth with legit migrant workers, their families, and agriculture caught in the middle.

I've WORKED with FEMA folks before, but there's no way this is any sort of policy, written or unwritten. I didn't read the article considering the source, the headline was enough to know it was a bullsh!t hit piece.

Americans should Google "Mark Cuban's cost plus pharmacy" Game changer. I'm sure Big Pharma is none too pleased, but Cuban is already a billionaire and doesn't care.

Posts don't get removed unless they go against AN standards, so you're going to blame @Jingthing? Do you see the illogic in your post?

The fact you don't understand what LGBTQ is and merely cast them all as trans shows extreme ignorance. I honestly don't know ONE trans person.

I have many LGBTQ friends around the US. They have suffered insults and personal attacks which have skyrocketed over the last few months. More than a few are seriously considering seeking life elsewhere as White Christian Nationalists are now taking over.

Google searches showed a 400% surge in searches on moving to Canada. Give it time. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/tech-news/google-searches-for-move-to-canada-have-increased-in-us-heres-why/articleshow/115107185.cms

Yes, the US elected an old man with dimentia.

I agree with your thought, but this is not the way to go about it. These topics are only going to continue the name calling and poop throwing.

Which I did. Turns out the USB-C which usually accepts a connection regardless of orientation now only works if you plug it in one way. I marked the top with a Sharpee so I know which way works. Never saw THAT before!

I really think you should just let it go. We fought the good fight, we lost, now your topics are beating a dead horse, salt in a wound.

The only thing I'm going to say about any of this: I knew the gloating would come fast and furious. No gracious dignity, just "Ha ha, you lost!"

. . . and to insult those who don't agree with his blather. Typical red hat behavior - can't win an argument with logic or truth, so start throwing poop.

When I first got here to LOS 20 years ago (hard to believe that much time has passed!), I would occasionally go to the Subway near the Walking Street Beach Road entrance. Subway was a standard, just like Mickey D's. I was shocked when that store closed. Great location, ALWAYS busy, I just couldn't understand. Just goes to show the only thing permanent in the world is change.

And if you believe that, you are either knowingly or unknowingly a Russian asset. X has been debunked and exposed for the utter garbage it is.

You make more sense than 99.9% of all posts. I don't, however, believe the deal is completely rigged. There is still an element of surprise, the voting process can't be fixed entirely. That would take far more coordination than they are capable of, and would rely on the silence of too many fixers. I do believe the people really pulling the strings like for us to be a divided nation. If we ever put aside our differences and pulled together as one, the puppet masters would be tarred, feathered, and rode out on a rail. As George Bush senior once said "If the American People ever find out what we have done, they will chase us down the street and lynch us."

You're usually wrong, but this time you're REALLY wrong. To say "there isn't anything wrong with him" is the worst of delusional thinking. He's just shoved his abnormality into everyone's face on a daily basis so you've become desensitized to it. You are correct that Harris isn't the perfect cadidate, but when you compare her to that convict/sex offender/thief etc etc, she looks pretty good.

Oh, I believe that's exactly what they are doing. I've noticed the usual red hat brigade is suddenly going quiet, just like they did right before Biden's victory was announced.

I firmly believe if that boob had kept his mouth shut, he would have slid easily into victory. Thank GAWD his hubris and mental decline won't allow his gob to be shut.

Even his supporters know there's something seriously wrong with him. They're just denying it cuz he would make hatred fashionable to display in public again.

And millions want THIS representing us???

He is not a tribute to our species.
