Yea or stay home. That was my point.

Do you really see her gender as a significant issue?

[edit] A significant issue among Democrat voters, I mean.

I think gender may have played a role with reduced turnout. Is that significant? In the outcome.

Generally gender was heavily divided in this election. And Trump was basically elected for being an asshole strongman. Seems hard to say it's not significant.

So, Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. Can we expect to see a pact between Russia and Trump's America, leading to the invasion and partition of Poland, Finland and (of course) Ukraine?

Finland and Poland, categorically no chance Russia step foot in either of those without staring WW3.

So what does Gaetz resigning from Congress do for his AG appointment?

Whether he gets the AG position or not, someone is pulling the strings to help Gaetz Avoid being convicted....

He's going to install a loyalist, at least he can install an incompetent loyalist.

This is about the best that can be hoped for. Trump is in a position where if he had competent people in the roles around him and they all agreed on what they wanted to get done, they could achieve some truly terrifying things.

There's a good chance that they all trip over their own schlongers in greed though.

Right, but I don't think WW3 is off the cards here for anybody. There's a bunch of world leaders that seem almost eager to start WW3. And for some reason they all seem pretty buddy buddy with each other.

I wish I could be so confident, this time around he has a lot of well-organised and well-funded people behind him (not in cabinet positions - they would never sully themselves with that) with very, very detailed plans of what they want done, and the agenda they want seems to be bubbling to the surface. All of which is formed well before Jan, back before (and well into) his first term the regime was an uncoordinated, directionless mess, this time is very, very different.

Trump's ego is the biggest blocker to that rather than cabinet incompetence (they can be replaced), and should Trump's mental incapacity finally, fully catch-up with him, we get Vance, and then we are all well and truly screwed.

I agree that WW3 is possible, but I don't see a scenario where the US teams up with Russia in opposition to NATO which was what would happen should the post I responded to come true.

It's a shame Hunter S Thompson has passed away, he would have a field day with this.

 

[Kriptical]

Definitely feels as if we are on the star trek timeline. Maybe a couple years behind.
