Bet on Kamala.....

[mickeycrimm]

Yes, all very valid points. But there is more, and it is quite simple.

I was watching CNN's Anderson Cooper show yesterday with his panel, discussing individual takeaways. Scott Jennings, their regular sole Conservative voice, brought the house down and had jaws dropping after providing the most succinct analysis of this election thus far.

It was simple: he said Kamala and the Dems got destroyed because they forgot about the regular working folks--people that were struggling greatly with all the higher prices, and who saw the ridiculous open border as a major threat to their families' security....all while being gaslit constantly by Biden, Harris and that idiot Mayorkis for 3-1/2 years that the "border was secure with no problems" and "the economy was strong and inflation was transitory". And all this, while they were being told putting men in women's sports and locker rooms was "good for the nation" along with trotting out a genuine lies-infested goofball as Kamala's running mate and showcasing the creepy Doug Emhoff as the potential "manly first-man". COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH.

This, along with the strength, charisma, popularity, and very successful first term of President Trump, is why the dems got so embarrassed.

can breath.

None of this explains why the MSM completely flip-flopped on everything they were preaching for 107 days??
They went from Harris is gonna win by 3 points to saying Harris never had a chance.
And they are saying that we all knew Harris never had a chance??
And now that Hitler won a second term why are they all not freaking out??
Why are they not calling him Hitler anymore??
WTF??
Talk about jumping off the bandwagon and constantly lying on national tv.

Well Trump chose Vance because Vance had already called him a Nazi. Trump was smart that way because it disarmed the MSM. 4d chess, amirite?

But anyone who thinks Kamala or her VP lied more than Trump have their head so incredibly far up their own ass I have no clue how they can breath.

Trump made 20 times more appearances than Kamala did. He publicly answered a thousand times more questions than Kamala did. They kept Kamala’s lies down by keeping her under wraps.

Trump has never been afraid of the press. He’s never hid from them. How many times did you see Biden answer questions while walking to the helicopter? None. Trump answered questions every time he walked to that helicopter. We will see the same transparency this time around.

This is some cuckoo bird shit. He pretty much avoided all MSM press because they'd ask tough questions. (Moreso than they'd ask Kamala - but Kamala has little to not answer. She's just a super bland politician.) Guys like you complain about MSM all the time - so you listen to strictly faker news and get weirdass takes like this which is not even grounded in reality.

The helicopter walk. This is a new one.

So now both women who have run for President have only gotten there due to some shenanigans by the Democratic party. (Although this 2nd one we can blame Biden, I suppose) Each time Trump beat them.

As far as I am concerned, everyone needs to shun Biden and his crackhead son. He should have just stepped down and let the primary choose the best candidate but nah, the Democrat party is a shitty corrupt organization. I think the people are well meaning but ultimately they're more corrupt than Republicans.

This country may or may not get what it needs but it got what it deserves.

So we're kicking out all the immigrants and adding all these big tariffs... and people voted him in because of their inflation (at 2.5%) concerns. fucking idiots. It takes a test to drive a car but not to vote?

Due to our failing public schools and broken families not making kids work hard we're seeing the results of "the dumbing down of America."

One big take away is that our American fixation on convenience also now applies to how we receive and process info: those who grew up with social media turn to it as their source, to get their opinions delivered pre-formed.

No longer do we read newspapers: it's SM, sites typically chosen and tailored to give us the message we prefer and to downplay the importance of any contrary message.

No, I am not saying American Idiocy is the REASON Trump won: I am saying that it's a factor.

[redietz]

The old false equivalency argument rears its ugly head.

Nobody cares who banged who when or did what to whom in a women's dressing room.

Now, mRNA shot efficacy, longevity, side effects, those are key elements in hundreds of millions of people's lives. Where and how a pandemic originated -- those are crucial questions going forward that affect hundreds of millions of people. Censoring narratives that conflict with an administration's narratives -- those are strong-arm tactics that affect everyone on the planet.

What also galls me is that if this had been another candidate, the assassination attempt would have led to heroic profiling, some kid gloves treatment, and consistent respect. That's not at all what we received from the media.

The general US population has no connection, no resonance, with people in the military or law enforcement who have had people next to them killed while being wounded themselves. The entire assassination attempt was blown off in a matter of a week or so. No coverage. No constant reminders.

Why are you so obsessed with the media not going on and on about it? What else was there to add to the story? Did we need a time-lapse video of his ear healing? You're pissed because MSM didn't become Trump's propagandist?

Seriously, what new became known about the situation that was not covered? It is "news".

Man I looked for pictures of the scar and it is really hard to see anything.

Did you wear a bandage on your ear like his devoted followers?

News at 9 -
"One man in BumFuck TN cut a piece of paper out of his #3 VG Captain America and fashioned a bandage to cover his ear in public. When asked what it means to him he said - "I do this to bring awareness to what happened and to show my appreciation of the sacrifice President Trump. He is a true American hero."

You lost bitch. Suck it up and quit sniveling.

So you think prices are just 2.5% higher since Biden took over? Try 30%, bozo. Goddam you’re dumb. But keep up the trolling. It’s all you know how to do.

[redietz]

I'll clarify. Although, technically, the overall annual inflation rate is right now, this month, tracking at an annual 2.4% (which is still not good), basic needs items and services track much higher (like food). The 20-some percent overall inflation number refers to total inflation from when Biden took office in 2020 (also not good, by the way). So your ability to buy has been cut by more than a fifth, and approaching a quarter, since Biden/Harris took office, and that is a bit of a mirage number because certain necessities track higher.

One could say, in fact, that this inflation is skewed to hurt the working class because luxury items haven't risen as much as necessities.

Which would explain how, overnight, the Republican Party has become the party of the working class. Also explains why Sanders is so peeved at his party.

If you are looking for a "silver lining" that isn't really, it's that items like clothes haven't risen as a group because more and more are coming from China. The items imported from China keep the perception of rising prices down somewhat. My personal sad example of misnomers is "American Tourister" luggage. Somebody verify for me, but I think American Tourister is now manufactured in China.

Yea I'm sniveling, cuckoo.

It is such a cult. Whatever. Truth about the cult-leader doesn't matter and one is never going to get real answers from cult-followers. They only know what their cult leader(s) tell them.

Clearly, when you measure things you need it over a specific timeframe. It was at 2.5% YoY last I checked a few weeks ago. I looked it up for giving people the cost of living raises they get every year.

To those who aren't in the cult , Mickey claims Trump answered "a thousand times the questions Kamala did". Who asked him these questions? Trump avoided any tough questioning. I'm not sure Kamala did better but it is nonsensical thinking to think Trump is some honest person looking to not only catch softballs. Gosh how I would have loved to have seen all these answers but somehow they totally missed my radar !

I was at a get-together that happened to happen on election night. "Conservatives" I guess. Those guys - when Trump gave his victory speech I just saw that raptured look in their eyes. These are smart guys too - went to college. I had to leave the room because I found it genuinely hard to listen to this guy who is basically the model for insincerity. It was hard to not laugh and I didn't want to do so intentionally. Some people just born to believe in whatever I guess.

[MisterV]

How will prices go down if tariffs go into place?

[tableplay]

People who are educated and better themselves move to cities for the higher level jobs

All 47.6% of them. I heard they even got cities that aren't on the coasts.

I''ll be honest here. I'm lost.

Am I missing something? Usually i know what you guys are getting at but this one goes over my head. How are you shocked that cities have far more dense populations?

Is this some key number in a conspiracy?

It's a matter of degree. Sure they're more densely populated on the west and east coasts, but not to that magnitude (i.e. not almost half the fucking voting population).

You see rapture in republican eyes? You have tunnel vision. Shows where your head is at. You somehow didn’t see all those tears from Kamala supporters when she lost? Everyone from Pelosi on down cried like little bitches.

Here's Pelosi at Kamala's concession speech. What does HER EYES tell you?

[redietz]

Account, you are missing a big chunk of the issue. When lifetime progressives like Joe Rogan and Russell Brand and Brett Weinstein excoriate the current version of the Democratic Party, there is a problem. When lifelong semi-socialists such as Bernie Sanders and little old me can't figure out what kind of fucked-up amalgamation of fiscal planning and morality the Democratic Part is selling, there is a problem. When Bill Maher spends four months blasting the party (now mind you, he still voted Harris), there is a serious problem.

It boils down to -- I have followed Trump my entire life. Trump as president is somewhat absurd (let's be real; it's really bizarro) but it should drop the price of gold because multiple wars are less likely to be on the horizon. You guys haven't spent 40 years reading about this dude in the local tabloids -- NY Post, Philly papers, Daily News -- it's been constant entertainment. I was at the opening of the Taj Mahal. My better half sat in on Trump on speaker phone trying to buy an LV casino. The man is a trip. But for me and people like Maher and Chappelle to be horrified by what the current Dems are trying to sell, it tells you that the Dems are really way off the fucking rails.

Way, way off. Like drug-addled street whores trying to sell you a BJ while oozing green scum from their lips. Nobody is buying it, despite record-breaking negative media coverage of Trump. After the man was almost assassinated, the negative spin has been unprecedented. And still, nobody bought it.

You know, if that assassination try was an inside set-up (I am personally neutral regarding that possibility), then it suggests that the alleged "Swamp" knew what was coming despite all of the smoke-and-mirrors pollster bullshit. A story came out late yesterday that when Biden dropped out, he estimated Trump was going to get close to 400 electoral votes, which in large part was why he stepped aside. The whole Harris-as-contender storyline has been start-to-finish bullshit if that story is correct. And it fits.

Countries have been buying up gold. I hope that continues. I just took a look at the spot price. It’s back under 2700. I didn’t think to check it around Election Day. Last time I checked it was close to 2800 a couple weeks ago. I own gold and could sell right now for a hefty profit.

[MDawg]

Dollar and BTC went up, gold dropped, as a result of perceptions from the Grump win.

If you are going to post something about gold in this thread, at least get it right as to what is happening and why.

Shove your orders up your ass.

[Rob.Singer]

Gold dropped very little. It's expected to jump up again one sleepy Joe finally disappears like his party demanded he do.

How's the market doing? When it goes up as much as it did the day after the election, does that sound like a "Grump" move?

[MDawg]

No one can deny the beauty of the stock market pop, hope it maintains.

But the market reached all time highs under Biden too, notwithstanding Grump's crash and gloom prognostications end of 2020.

Point being, that it doesn't really matter who is President, the American stock market is durable.
