USA Politics

Democrats had their chance to change in 2016 didn’t take it and voted for Hilary. By 2024 they even threw the primaries out of the window.
a problem with both parties .. the "it's their turn" nominee who is a poor candidate. Dole was that for the GOP, no shot at beating (Bill) Clinton where others might have at least had a shot, (Hillary) Clinton should have beaten Trump .. but snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory, but she was "owed" after Obama. It is stupid, but it happens over and over. One plus the Dems have in the next election is that there is not a "their turn" candidate.
 
That was in 2016, but it’s worse in 2024. Democrats are more corrupted now. Biden in 2020 was a mistake but at least he won Trump. Dems should have insisted he drops out in early 2023 as unfit which he was and have open primaries. They thought a convicted felon would do the job so they didn’t act earlier.

Should they have acted patriotically and morally by not letting a mentally unfit old man run again they might have done a big service to their country and their party.
 

Rubio as SoS, Kristi Noem DHS, freaking Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel. RFK Jr, an unhinged and utterly unscientific cospiracy theorist, potentially for the Department of Health and Human Services. The shit show is already starting. And if that weren't enough:

Elon Musk & Vivek Ramaswamy for the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In other words, a billionaire literally bought himself into the administration. But we are supposed to think the Dems are corrupt, while the GOP pulls off shit like that.
 
They didn't, right? Please tell me that's not what the department is called.
Oh, yes.


Edit: Oh, and a complete puppet as Secretary of Defence. Pete Hegseth of Fox News (yes, really). (and no, his tours as a platoon leader and captain isn't a viable qualification).

LOL at the idea of a moron burning billions trying to get to Mars being in charge of efficiency.
Hint: He will propose defunding IRS, regulatory departments and slash social security and benefits. Anything not including those parameters will shock me.

It is even worse than I thought it could be! :puke:
 
This isn't 2016 anymore. Trump isn't an unknown wildcard. We knew exactly what kind of bullshit he'd be attempting this time around and it's already starting. Unfortunately the entire world is going to suffer due to his administration. But at least the libs go triggered, that's all that matters right?
 
Is the Trump'll fix it slogan not a bit on the nose for someone so associated with Epstein?
Let's just say there's a reason why Fox edited away the tip-toeing from their reporting from when Trump was asked whether he'd declassify everything pertinent to Epstein.

 
Nobody's perfect but RFK strikes me as a man of dignity, originality and genuine care. I took a closer look on him after some suggestions in this very thread, but after his concession which I found brave and the speech which I found exceptional, I liked him more.

told you so

No wait, it's early for that. Let's see what will actually happen. Last term's appointments were even more disastrous but the result was better than Biden's.

Anyway, my disappointment is very real. I mean with such a victory I would expect something more out of the box and original.
For instance I like both Vivek and Musk but their use in such a department sounds like a farce. Like a grab bag appointment. And why two "stars" in the same department? Give it to Rubio for f* sakes.
