Convicted Felon Reelected as President of the USA

Trump getting friendly with Putin will not be the real cause of Putin ending the war with Ukraine. Putin is happy with Trump being the president again because Putin preetty much is 'controlling' Trump. Unlike most other US presidents that are not fans of dictators. Trump has a high chance of making policies in his favor. Putin is a shrewd manipulator, ruthless and very calculating.

Curious to see if Republicans will find some way to make Trump stand aside and let his VP run things?

I hope Trump can be a good leader, and help people get out of poverty instead of making people poorer by reducing benefits for disabled people and the poor.
Trump said that the war in Ukraine would be over within 24 hours of his victory. We should maybe keep a tally of how many campaign promises are broken.
What’s unsurprising is how search results for “moving to Canada” skyrocketed last week because there’s a face amongst the American left that Canada is a liberal haven despite the fact it’s not.
I always feel like people who act like this are that one kid you knew in high school that thinks your hometown is the worst in the world and bitches about it all the time, then several years later he’s still there with no major lifestyle change and is still whining about it.

No Canada is Terrible now everyone is waiting for Justin Trudeau to leave his government office
If it gets above 0.01% I'd be pleasantly surprised.
I think people that hate where they live have some notion that where they're at is the worst at basically everything, and this dream location of theirs is the idealized place that lives up to their expectations, but don't realize it's either the same bullshit but different name, or you have to deal with a different kind of bullshit.
Most of those guys are just big talk and no action.

Most of the time it's the media (TV, News, Online boards) that causes a stir in that notion so people can start some bullshit
Yeah, usually they hype up the good shit and ignore or hide under the rug the bad shit.
Some places are also nice when you’re a tourist, but suck actually living there. The fun touristy places are in areas “nobody” actually lives in because it’s obnoxiously expensive.
I like the city I live in, and downtown is super popular with tourists. I hate going downtown because the roads are confusing, and the limited parking is all paid. There’s a few interesting restaurants there, but not worth dealing with the downtown bullshit, and most of it is bars and touristy shit.
That’s the part of the city people showcase, not the other 90%.

And the house just went republican, damn dems dropped the ball.
Well I held out hopes his threats were just a negotiating tactic but he's fucking serious.
Good article on what Trump's tariffs are going to do since people don't seem to believe me.
www.cfr.org
25% tariffs on economies like canada and Mexico which are so heavily export oriented and integrated with the US will literally destroy their economies.
Prices for cars, fuel, fertilizer and whatever else is imported will increase to make up for it locally. Businesses which rely on imported stuff will suffer immensely and might go out of business. A simple recession would be you guys getting off easy and you'd also have a couple of failed states on your borders who now hate you.
Trump thinks either he will make manufacturing jobs come back to the US because of these tariffs and/or it's a way to make up for the budget deficit/national debt, however the first option is nearly impossible for the vast number of consumer goods whose prices would triple moving from a country like China with it's GDP per capita like 1/6th of the US to the US. But the orangutan is also announcing tariffs on Taiwan (Semiconductors!!) and other countries providing raw materials. Why the fuck would you tariff raw materials and not finished goods if you want to bring manufacturing into the US? Essentially making yourself even less attractive. The second option is also ridiculous because I refuse to believe trump cares about anything other than himself.
When countries like Vietnam and India and loads of others exist for companies wanting to escape tariffs who simultaneously don't want to pay the american wage for a worker this whole plan falls apart. I didn't even touch on the tariffs he's threating on the entire EU and what the response targeted tariffs from each of them will do. I cannot comprehend how people cited the economy, inflation and unemployment as reasons for voting for him when his entire platform was on making everything worse. That's not my opinion that's as simple as cause and effect.
Will the next dem president remove his disastrous tariffs? Most likely but why would the business community trust America to be a good place to to business when earth shattering tariffs are just a changed administration away? Uncertainty makes investors wary, both local and the ones from the tariffed countries and you'll also see capital flight which you won't be able to measure directly but will be another silent nail in the coffin.

What Trump’s Trade War Would Mean, in Nine Charts
If implemented, President Trump’s tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico could upend U.S. trade. These nine charts show what’s at stake, what comes next, and why it matters.

Oh yeah, we are fucked, a country that made up idiots that fucked us. HOWEVER, from my understanding, there is an international review of the election and if they find enough sabotage they could invoke a UN article and have Trump removed from office yet. Not sure what weight is behind it, but it is the world's only god-damn hope at this time.
Till then, god and devil alike help our souls.
That is ridiculous and completely untrue even if the election was stolen. Also nobody believes it was stolen.
