    I'm not depressed at all.  I do have a simple response to pretty much everyone posting examples of people suffering because of the way they voted.  That response is, "Fuck em all".   I wish for the worst for these people.  In this timeline I am sure somehow, someway nothing bad will happen to those people, and the good people will be the only ones to suffer which sucks.  I hate to have this attitude, but I find it hard to have nothing but negative feelings for people that fucked up the once great country that I loved.

  2. Dumb question, but is the defense secretary usually someone that was a very high rank in the military at one point in their career.  Like a general or career military?  I’m not a military guy but I wonder how actual generals will feel taking orders from a tv show host.

  3. I think the US will be fine.  It’s not like Trump has a history of fucking up everything he has ever been put in charge of.  As for me, I’m a rich white dude and my industry will do better under Trump/Republicans with less regulation (I unlike others didn’t vote for him because I would personally gain but I guess now I will just enjoy the extra money I am going to get).  My main decision going forward is do I want to stay in TX.  I just moved to a house on the lake in DFW but if the Republicans keep passing laws that make me and the wife uncomfortable then we will have to move somewhere else in the US.

  4. So am I the only one that thinks its possible Trump projects everything to the other side so when he says the Dems are rigging the election it is actually his team that figured out a way to rig it for him?  I can totally see him demanding that they make sure he wins all 50 states or some shit like that.  Something so implausible that it the riots come, it will be from the good guys when NY, CA, MA, etc… are suddenly red on election night.  I feel like a manic depressive as I swing back and forth from Harris in a blowout to Trump cheats and wins.  Can’t wait for this to be over.

    If it’s a blowout I see violence too. The cult won’t believe it, they’ll see it as evidence of a rigged election. Because they’re fucking morons. 

    This right here.  Violence is coming.  Tens of millions of people still believe the 2020 elections was rigged.  Not because of facts but because Trump, his allies, Fox News told them that and in fact keep telling them that.  Over the last few months, you have heard Trump and others saying they can only lose if the Dems cheat.  I am seeing friends on social media like Facebook already saying stuff like it's obvious the Dems are trying to cheat to steal the election.  Once he loses Tuesday night (and I actually think it will be a blow out for Kamala) he will go on TV and say the election was stolen from him and some of those millions of people will lose their shit and violence will occur.  Hopefully it is put down quickly across the country and we can figure out some way to move forward as a nation and send the MAGA crowd back to their holes.

  6. So, I know the end of America is important and all, but this thread has brought up Chili's talk and I must be the only one who does the following.  At Chili's and nowhere else do I order the ranch to dip my chips in along with the salsa and it's fucking delicious.   Also, earlier in this thread there was talk about Project 2025 taking away Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc....  Yeah, I guess those are important since they give people money to live on and health care but the thing that really hurts most people that Project 2025 looks to take away is porn.

    I saw some Trump ads for the first time during the World Series last night. There’s one accusing Kamala of letting illegals in, rapists and murderers of course, but then it ends with them in prison with Kamala ensuring they’re getting gender reassignment with pictures of scary trans migrant prisoners. This is a real ad. Where the fuck are we?

    Did you not watch the UT-Georgia game.  Every fucking add for 4 hours was either the Trump or Cruz add about trans people.  Between those ads and the game I thought I was gonna have a stroke.

    Same old shit. Somehow they have had an unchecked majority in the Lege plus every statewide office every year this century yet can never seem to achieve their legislative goals.

    Exactly.  Yet people read that shit and think, “Oh, we need some republicans to protect the grid so we don’t have blackouts like when the guys who were in charge of the grid for the last 30 years didn’t have anything to do with it”.  Plus teaching porn to our kids, etc… The fact that I know the people of this state will continue to vote for these Republicans make me actively root for the worst things in life to happen to these people.  I posted something similar a few days ago but man I really feel the people of Texas and the US in general deserve to have their lives ruined.

  9. Posted this shit in the presidential election thread but it probably belongs here.  Some cunt just knocked on my door and put these flyers on it.  I don’t get a chance to get to the door in time but saw her walking down the street by the time I got to the door.  These fucking republicans have no shame with the lies they put out there.  I am now enraged on a beautiful Saturday afternoon when I should be relaxing watching football.

    Had a Trump supporting coworker tell me that "if Trump gets elected, it's gonna be the easiest time in history to get rich because the market is gonna go crazy."

    Like my brother in Christ, the market is up over 60% in the past two years. What the fuck more do you expect Trump to do to bolster it? 

    Just wait until Trump is elected with a R senate and the market goes down and he starts blaming the Dems in the minority for causing the market to go down.

    I have only ever voted in the People's Republic of Austin, but the last few elections once you check in they hand you a blank ballot (except for the identifying information at the top) which reminds me of a scantron enlarged for old people. You insert that into the machine and then do your selections on screen. Once you are finished you review your selections and hit print. It then spits out the geriatric scantron with all of your selections printed on it, plain as day for you and god to see. You then take that to a machine where an election official watches you feed it in and then it is counted and stored. I assumed this was standard fare all over Texas, but maybe it's just here. i dunno. But i do like being able to review my selections on paper before final submission.

    When I voted today, they hand you a paper ballot and a pen and you have to bubble in fully the squares you want to vote for. Then you feed that into a machine and hope the machine isn't rigged because you never get an electronic copy of what was registered.  

  12. Where I voted is in Frisco, TX so it's very Republican.  Meaning it took me all of under 10 minutes to walk in, vote and walk out.  Straight D but left the unopposed R's blank.  I feel bad for the folks that will have to wait hours in line to vote because the Republicans make it difficult.
