  1. Naw, it'll give me a good chuckle when I'm still here after you've died alone.
  2. Responding to OP, they're definitely going to begin their plans for mass deportations. Connected business interests will push back, with what success I don't really know. I don't think this is a thing Trump is going to fold on when his rich friends tell him it's bad for business, because ultimately it's something he personally really wants to do and the last people in his ear (the freaks that will staff his administration) really want to do it as well. The good news is that the entire federal government (excluding the armed forces) doesn't have nearly the personnel to accomplish what they're aiming for. The bad news is they'll just deputize local and state law enforcement, who will be extremely eager to abandon real policework (to the limited extent any of them actually do any) for SS shit. The surveillance and incarceration capabilities that all of this will require will require turning America into something very dystopic (our entire prison population right now is around ~1,200,000), but a lot of us probably won't see most of that shit. What worries me most is when someone shows Trump the cost of all of this and he has a "it doesn't cost $60,000 to bury a fucking Mexican" moment and begins ordering for everyone who gets rounded up to simply be shot. The biggest restraint on that is he won't want people seeing that shit on TV, but he may figure that Elon's control of Twitter will be enough to effectively hide it from the public. A side effect of all of this is that crime will increase as police spend 100% of their time on deporting immigrants. He may be dissuaded from instituting the worst of his proposed tariffs, but that's another thing he really wants to do so again I doubt it. We'll see inflation jump and an even steeper rise in housing costs as new construction is undermined by the elimination of its labor force. As for health and the environment, well we all gotta die sometime right? Food, medicine, and drinking water regulations will be effectively eliminated, when not expressly then by refusal to enforce them. They'll repeal the IRA to halt the green energy revolution and pretend they're coming up with a better alternative, but that alternative will just be giving all of that money to Elon to do whatever he wants with it. I'm less sure they'll repeal the ACA, even though I think they'll have the votes if they decide they want to do so (this assumes the Dems narrow path to still take the House doesn't come to fruition). That was a big promise last time, but I don't think Trump really cares about it personally and there's not a ton of money to be given out there to his billionaire supporters like there is with an alternative to the IRA. Obviously there will be a whole lot more awful shit that we can't really predict right now.
  3. The possible russian asset poster, who keeps making new names every time he gets crowdsourced so he can keep promoting Russian interests, promoting an illegal alien with direct ties to Putin as our biggest national security asset doesn’t raise any suspicions whatsoever.
  4. What a shame.
  5. Pretty obvious tipoff here that you’re a pedophile.
  6. They don't need to offer them shit. Alito and Thomas will gladly retire after this term or the next ends.
  7. Yes there was. Pretty much everywhere was statistically speaking substantially more dangerous in the 80s and 90s and there's really no comparison to today. You didn't see it because you were a child.
  8. Where's that Biden doing bicep curls meme but for eliminating Kamala and installing JD Vance?
  9. You're really living up to your name today. Democracy suffered a shitload under his first term and you know it did. ETA: you really shouldn't be gloating today, given that we've pretty conclusively disproven the progressive left's theory of electoral politics. Biden prioritized wages and employment over inflation and enacted the largest domestic spending package in decades, which prioritized projects and a lot of blue collar jobs in rural areas. And it was a complete fucking failure in terms of gaining electoral support from workers. Congratulations, you're gloating that everyone has just learned that neoliberal economics is the only electorally viable option.
  10. Not yet. First I want Bibi to die.
  11. *promises to be here on election night* *shows up the day to dunk* Well done.
  12. Mods better take out this nazi trash right here.
  13. They won't but they should. Dems might actually have a shot at retaking the senate in 2026, but it won't matter then obviously and any presidential election in 2028 will be hopelessly rigged by GOP state-level officials and the courts.
  14. What if I wake up tomorrow and I'm 7 feet tall with a foot long dick?
  15. No shit. Oh, and it turns out some of them did have guns. And it also turns out that the Oath Keepers had stashed a fucking arsenal in a hotel just down the street that they'd planned to send someone to collect. Johnny knows this, he just thinks it's funny to lie about it.
  16. Johnny's BFF right here.
  17. Are you gonna be there to pick this guy up when he gets out?
  18. Go walk in traffic. No. They should make Trump quash the prosecutions himself.
  19. Y'all might as well keep receipts. It won't matter, but when they're pretending to be shocked by the horrors he unleashes it might feel good for five seconds to remind them how ecstatic they were to elect him.
  20. That doesn't matter, because this:
  21. Merrick Garland is winding down the DOJ's prosecutions of Trump. Spineless til the fucking end.
  22. Guys, the answer is obvious. Trump Offered Men Something that Democrats Never Could: White boys used to grow up knowing they'd be at the top of the food chain in a social system that forced women to serve them and today's white boys are angry that's no longer the case.
  23. Then you should treat yourself! It's a special occasion!
  24. What? What's wrong with asking him why he can't celebrate with a drink?
