Do you think he died on purpose, to avoid a possible oncoming "fate worse than death"?

Leaving aside its one of the best documented scientific and military endeavors in human history, thats not what they meant by the term "Demon Core", Tucker.

Four more years of the most stupid shit being spouted by the person occupying the most powerful position in the world, with bigots everywhere using this victory as an excuse to justify whatever evil shit they come up with.

It's more than that.

Trump will pull support for Ukraine and hand it over to Putin on a silver platter. Because he "likes strong leaders" and owes Putin for helping him rig elections.

Trump has even threatened to pull America out of NATO, unless other nations start contributing their fair share. His commitment to Article 5 - if any NATO member is attacked, then all members are attacked - is wishy-washy. Ah, he might let Finland be consumed by Russia. Doesn't really care, honestly.

On the Middle East, though he has a Jew in the family, I honestly think he personally hates both sides, and can't stand either Muslims or Jews. Indeed, largely because he hasn't voiced much of an opinion, when he really should have by now, and it's not clear what he's going to do. One interpretation is that he's not saying anything, just hoping that both sides wipe each other out.

So Trump's victory is going to change US foreign policy and the state of the planet.

Speaking of which, all "green" initiatives will be repealed and dropped for "drill, baby, drill" - he has already stated those words repeatedly in rallies - so climate change is going to go down to the wire now. Four more years of undoing all environmental protections and ramping up fossil fuel support. Even if the Democrats get back in, in four years' time - if "King Trump" allows democratic elections ever again - then it'll take another 4 years to undo his undoing. Basically, about a decade of progress thrown away and there's less than 39 years to the extinction of oil. If America gives no shits, then plenty of other countries will take that as a signal to give no shits either.

Highly ironic when he has Elon on board but, frankly, Elon's having a very public nervous breakdown, honestly. I pity him for the "moment of clarity" that's eventually going to him. I always felt multi-billionaires suffer a mental disorder that no-one ever addresses because they're so rich and envied, no-one even thinks to question that they're not all there in the head - I think Elon really has actually gone properly nuts, but because he's mega-rich, no-one is going to get him the professional help he needs. If any of us started acting like he did out of nowhere - especially how he's completely flipped politically - then people would be worried and would try to get you some help. But he's rich, so it's just taken as "eccentric" and he's allowed to fall further down the rabbit hole.

He's promised the greatest mass deportation in human history on day one of his presidency. Obviously, he's a big fat liar to not take his every word as any kind of truth.

But he's a big isolationist, so America's basically going to pull out of everything - remember, he took America out of the Paris accords last time - and close up the borders tight and place tariffs and controls on everything "foreign" coming in and will let the world burn.

And that's the best case scenario where it turns out that he really isn't involved with "the Handmaid's Tale" of Project 2025 - essentially a theocratic take-over of America - and isn't really the "American Hitler" some people fear he could be.

As I said, "the day the music died".

Quincy had the right idea. Dropping dead before the shit hits the fan, so you'll never know what the world will become.

I agree with Bernie Sanders

The independent, who caucuses with Democrats, said it "should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them."
"First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well," Sanders continued in his statement. "While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right."

Well, the Kremlin has rejected Trumps first call to discuss the situation in Ukraine, so presumably theres a back-up to the "I'll end it in one day!" plan?

Well, that’ll teach me not to read too much into headlines - the Kremlin is actually denying any call between Trump and Putin took place, not that there was a call about Ukraine that was rejected. My bad this time.

It seems to me that it would be beneficial to Putin to appear to be having constructive discussion with Trump, especially after the statement about Crimea.
