Keep an eye on those oligarchs man. Don't let them get away with anything.

No crusade.

I don’t think so.  Neither does Sky news.

 

By all means, keep reading your propaganda.

 

That’s all you have left.

Is that a prediction or a threat?

Time for the US population to pay the piper.

Everyone wants something from the government, but no one accepts that someone has to pay for it.

They threatened legal action if he didn't buy at the inflated price ..remember ?

 

Yes that is exactly true. At first they said democracy would die and wouldn't sell it at any price. Twitter staff threatened to leave there was no way he could have it. Then he offered $45 billion best and final and they accepted. He got cold feet tried to back out built now Twitter wanted to make him buy it. 

 

They probably thought it would bankrupt him. So he tries to back out and finds he can't He mans up closes the deal and walks in with a kitchen sink and fires everybody. 

 

Many people laughed and said he would never get his money back. Now many would say it made him the most powerful private citizen in the entire world. His stock is doing better than ever and his private holdings are booming. I doubt he thinks much about $40 billion now. Easy come easy go for a guy like him.

 

As JT points out the guy has the Midas touch he is worth $70 billion more than just a few weeks ago.

I think they spent more money on staffing than Trump did for his whole campaign. The young turks talked about it.

 

Some people questioning where the money went.

 

Her staff was overpaid then because they made abysmal decisions from start to finish although, in fairness to them, a lot of that might have been Kamala herself refusing to follow their suggestions

JT's still groping his way between the initial two stages of grief. This might go on until Spring break

A reminder.

It can't happen here (the US)?

Nah.

It IS happening here.

It's the classic autocrats playback to try to get the population to become exhausted and shut up.

That's your opinion.  My opinion is that it was a very good interpretation of a landslide in that context.  But, carry on.

 

I know you're excited but if an opinion needs "interpretation" and "context", if it needs any sort of explanation, it's simply a win.

The majority won, freedom of speech won, you nazi, rasist fascists lost...toodle odd now like a good loser

Correct. But by your own yardstick, "your opinion may not be the same but that does not make you right."

A very slim majority. If you love freedom of speech so much, why are you and all the other maga fan sore winners so aggressively and obnoxiously trying to get the opposition to Trump to shut up? I don't believe maga is really for free speach. They're for maga speech.

312 Electoral College votes. The Senate. The House. The popular vote. All battle states Red, a move to the right even in solid blue states. Landslide or not what it is is a massive slap in the face for the radical, progressive, woke agenda left of which you are one. Look how Red the US is now. Got your butt well and truly kicked. Absolutely glorious albeit somewhat disturbing watching the dummy spitting, baby tantrum throwing meltdowns.

How wonderfully and woefully simplistic. Huge swathes of a state where mostly nobody lives are red. Great fishing in AK though.

 

Context: 48.2% of the American electorate didn't vote red. That's almost half.

 

50% of the American electorate voted red. That's only half.

 

Now, with regard to the latter, what does fifty/fifty mean?

 

The answer isn't "landslide" either.

[Jingthing]

Another obnoxious (and very autocratic playbook thing) the sore winner maga fans are doing is trying to gaslight the world that the U.S. in the wake of Trump's win is no longer a DIVIDED country. What a crock.
