Let's see what the next four years holds... 

"As a result of the election held on November 5, 2024, the defendant is expected to be certified as President-elect on January 6, 2025, and inaugurated on January 20, 2025. The Government respectfully requests that the Court vacate the remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule to afford the Government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance and determine the appropriate course going forward consistent with Department of Justice policy. By December 2, 2024, the Government will file a status report or otherwise inform the Court of the result of its deliberations. The Government has consulted with defense counsel, who do not object to this request.."

CLEARLY, he could be convicted of 34 felony counts,  have 91 indictments & still be President... crime does pay for those with privilege!

-C!

I'm very disappointed but not totally surprised, I honestly never believed that he could win the popular vote, but other than that I've been "fighting the long defeat" for decades now, so I guess I'm as good with it as I can possibly get.

Trump made a lot of threats...I mean promises, during the course of the election, and he'll have less people trying to hold back his worst impulses this time around.  I don't know how much he and the GOP will be able to accomplish but the overall point is that it's all up to them now, especially if they manage to hold on to the House.

I don't think this is really as much "pro-Trump" or "anti-Harris or Joe Biden, as much as it is "anti-liberalism" or "anti-status-quo".  His supporters just wanted to burn it all down and let Trump take over.  I would cringe every time I heard a liberal blogger talking about why people think the economy is bad when the stock market is going so well, do they have any idea what it's like to make $15 an hour or less when rent and food are through the roof?  What happens in the stock market might as well be happening on Mars for all the effect it has on those people.

About two million less people voted for Trump this time, but about 13 million less voted for Harris than voted for Biden in 2020.  52% of white women voted for Trump.  I don't have any answers for that.

I have no idea how this is going to end, but as I indicated before all of this, the last time fanatics like this took over a modern industrial nation, it took a global war and millions of deaths to stop them.  We had plenty of opportunities to stop Trump and the GOP by voting and getting more involved, but we just didn't care.  So now it becomes harder and harder.  And we will have to live with Trump every single day for the rest of his life.  With his health, it's possible he won't last the next four years, but even if he does, he'll probably be allowed to run again in 2028.  This, I guess, is what Americans really want.  It's who we really are, after all.
