Sure, but have you considered that Kamala had a weird laugh
Musk will light your taxes on fire. Obama was huge on deportation. Kamala is a gun owner. OK, why won't you vote for Kamala then? "I just don't like her. She laughs weird." I couldn't believe it, but it shouldn't shock me. How do you even keep going after that?
It wasn't really about the laugh.
Yea, some of them also noticed she is a minority and a woman. Sadly our country has not accepted those groups are just as capable as white men to lead a country.

Republicans often try to liken women to witches in their constituents minds. It's their go to smear. They hate women. They want them back in the kitchen under control of men, just like the propaganda that transformed post war America pushed

This is such a stupid argument and I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t for my dad. He keeps talking about her laugh and I explain to him that it’s appropriate to express all emotions…. And he doesn’t believe it. He’s also unable to connect me being in therapy and his behavior.
I guess we have the same father even though I don't live anywhere near the US.
I remember a stand up comedian making fun of someone laughing on his show, because it was a very shrill and loud laugh. And later he said: imagine making fun of someone for the way they express joy (or something) and that somehow sat really deep with me.
She also has no penis and is awefully dark for a good old white American
Also, those dumbass's who think a woman can't be president.
Unfortunately that includes a lot of women, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

She also was hugely supportive of genocide, is a cop, huge opponent of sex workers, promised to outflank trump to the right on immigration and crime, had a terrible climate change plan including backtracking on things like fracking, terrible health care policy, denied any economic problems and her solution to massive poverty and increasing inequality boiled down to increased ease of first home buyers. She had terrible policies no reason to whitewash her.

The brink? We're already there, but the supply chain takes a few weeks to catch up. We are just now getting empty ports just like during covid. Empty ports now means empty shelves in a couple weeks. Empty shelves means prices skyrocket again. And layoffs start en mass when companies can't get supplies that need workers to work on.
So here's the fucking thing.
The crisis is already here. Go take a peak at the ports on the west coast right now. Go look at business forecasts.
This man systematically destroyed a working economy in a business quarter.
The repercussions of these actions are going to be felt for at least a decade.
They will be felt for the rest of the century.
Totally agreed.
These people literally are destroying the pre eminent power and completely usurping centuries old historical power hierarchies seemingly for the benefit of shorting the markets on their own whim.
As if those dollars they earn will be worth anything when hyperinflation hits.
Cash wealth is meaningless if you control all the actual assets. If you own all the houses, then you own all the houses.
They all fully understand this. Also they are well prepared for hyperinflation. Many people think that when the market has a massive crash they will finally own a house. Not true. The overwhelming majority of properties are already earmarked for pick up by the rich in that case. This is why boom/busts are important. They allow the rich to consolidate their wealth.
This assumes that the peasants don't murder the wealthy. Considering the amount of firearms in America, this gambit is a stupid gamble.
Running a country the same way he ran his casinos.

You know, right before lockdown I was hanging out with a friend and I said something to the effect of 'eh, I do feel like people are overreacting a bit but at least this should normalize mask wearing when you're sick like in parts of Asia.'
Right now I have a very similar feeling hunch of 'at least this should kill the myth that republican presidents are better for the economy' and I can't wait for the american people to once again show me just how stupid they are.
Risking America's reputation? Maybe we're slightly beyond that point.
Here in Denmark - one of the US's closest allies for decades with a generally positive public opinion - America's reputation has absolutely tanked. Being at all supportive of USA basically reveals you as a stupid far-right nut. We just need our politicians to see this as well because the US reputation is fully dead here.
Exactly the same take in Canada right now. With the added annexation threats, most Canadians that aren't far right nuts will boycott the american brand for the rest of their lives, tarrifs be damned.
I think a feeling of distrust and betrayal will definitely remain for decades no matter what happens in USA. Many boycotters etc will definitely continue doing that for at least some products and on a state level we'll never again be able to trust them with our data. That much is clear. At least I switched out all my tech and never going back
And just think, there were those out there that doubted he would get anything done. /s
Getting things done usually means building. It's decidedly easier to tear things down and much harder to build them back up.
Zero grocery, zero price. You cannot complain about avocado prices if there was no avocado imported, eh?
Reminds me of my childhood in a communist country.
It's almost like human structures of power always end up with some asshole on top making everyone else suffer.
brink of a crisis
Ummm I don't think the meaning of a crisis is understood anymore. Brink implies risking a crisis, where the usa has been in a full on crisis on many fronts for about 100 days. I would even say that they are past the initial crisis point and are getting way to cocky this far into a multi pronged collapse.
Let me translate this little code.
“Donald Trump has almost made it to where it the owners of this network will actually notice it in the bottom line for their quest to fulfill their endless greed.”

Wow 🍿I do feel for everyone who didn’t vote for this turd. As I am not aware much about what is happening in your country in detail (though some us citizens sometimes think this way) can anyone give any insight on how this is perceived by turd voters? Like are there any interesting interviews insight or articles ? Would love to know their view as this unfolds. Thanks for any insight 🙏
Brink? Fuck off. We're already in a crisis.
Piece of shit article about a piece of shit president smh.
Hyuck hyuck hyuck
Bankrupted a casino after his better half left. His ex wife. Consider it like his last admin. He had smart people corralling him. Now he just has yes men.

It’s bad now? You have no idea! All import stopped and or halted when your orange diaper introduced tariffs on everything. Meaning you’re just seeing the start of it.
Tariffs are still unclear because he’s changing them every damn second. Meaning companies are still hesitant about shipping goods because of the uncertainty regarding tariffs.
Trump’s promise? I don’t remember him promising much anything at all until the very tail end of the campaign, and even then it was kinda offhand. OTOH, the troll farms were in absolute overdrive talking about eggs, groceries, worthless higher education, gas prices (even though they are higher now) and of course bashing Harris over tons of things that weren’t even jobs she had the authority to do.
