I think Kari Lake is toast but one would have to know more about Maricopa outstanding vote…. Kudos to Rosen in Nevada.
The Armageddon Election 2024 Or Apocalypse 2024
even if she loses…my feeling is Trump will give her some big role in the administration like Secretary of Homeland Security
also will we see all the "acting" positions again
isn't that a way to skirt congressional approval

It’s like some of your cretins don’t even remember that time someone posted a NYC show in the OG Just Announced thread.

We need to move from this thread
Clearly Armageddon was hype

Look! I am trying to be upbeat! No apocalypse!!!
The precursor to apocalypse is a slope, not a cliff.
Two positives, maybe:
I will say that my little sister, who is generally checked out of the real world, was radicalized in her own way enough to write off my two Trumpster brothers, at least in the immediate term. Of course, she is married to an African American man and has two mixed race kids.
She's taking advantage of offered services for possible learning issues and can appreciate that those kinds of things could be cut.
My gen-z coworker who in the past expressed detest towards the current admin for Gaza and TikTok did vote for Harris and expressed real concern at the loss.
My hope, on both counts, is that they stay with eyes open and even with this painfully depressing outcome that the pushback can start locally. The Republicans played the Dems on that count post Obama. Hopefully there's time to really learn and apply lessons from that time period. I will say, that my fear is letting age and history get me jaded. The older that I get, four more years ahead and it feels like I might as well be dead by the time this new term is up. Hopefully little wins and slivers of silver linings can soften that jadedness. My first chore is to continue to feed the fire in people like my sister and co-worker how I can, to keep them afloat in the mission even if I feel weighed down as fuck.

Was a water is wet kinda statement
just further proof that this kind of hateful behavior isn't "just a few bad apples". it's accepted. so when apologists and appeasers ask me why i can't just "accept MAGA as they are" and "just get along" - this is why.
MAGA is a stupid term. What does it even mean? We need to just call them republicans.
Ughhh Rubio as Secretary of State? No way to sugarcoat this one…. He is horrible on foreign policy….am surprised Trump would go for him
Surprised? Trump has named RFKJ as the lead for health policy and you think Rubio is the bad choice? JFFFFC.

Make America Great Again. Y'know, back when Jim Crow and pre-suffrage ruled the day. Before we noticed climate change and when Mad Men and Ward Cleaver were the norm. When hispanics knew their place and stayed in the field. Back when things were great. Lets do that again.

Is the RFK Jr appointment official? I was unaware

Don’t think this is good for Ukraine… although Congress controls the purse
Rubio, has said in recent interviews that Ukraine needs to seek a negotiated settlement with Russia rather than focus on regaining all territory that Russia has taken in the last decade. He was also one of 15 Republican senators to vote against a $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine, passed in April.
Should Dems get a false hope they can fill his vacancy….HA
That little sliver of hope… dashed
Republicans win House, delivering Trump a trifecta
Welp at least we didn’t get rid of the filibuster… as we may need it
