    Trump has made silly remarks about how he thinks he will pay for tax cuts and reduce the national debt. He told a journalist from the Wall Street Journal that he would get rid of the national debt by reducing the trade deficit, which doesn't make any sense. Trump simply doesn't know what he is talking about. The WSJ would make desperate attempts at editing its interviews of him to try to make them have a semblance to rational thinking. Someone leaked an unedited transcript.

    The WSJ still supports Trump.

    His ignorant minions vote with their wallets and always have.

    Hold your nose while pulling the lever for a slimy moron who made you feel more masculine.

    Truther-narrative enthusiast RFK Jr. is going to be the health czar in a yet-to-be-determined position in the Trump administration who Trump says will make America healthy again.

    RFK Jr. is also going to handle the healthcare for women.

    Trump said that in a second term he would tax and fine endowments of colleges and universities and spend it in a way that he sees fit to rid schools of Marxists.


    Trump says he'll 'fire the radical left' from colleges, focus on 'defending' American 'tradition' if elected

    excerpt:

    "When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical left, accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics," the former president continued. "We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again, and once and for all."

    Trump said the standards would include "defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs, incredibly, removing all Marxist diversity, equity and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated and low cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money's worth."

    excerpt:

    "Trump added that schools "that persist in explicit, unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation."

    Trump said he would advance a measure to have universities "fined up to the entire amount of their endowment."

    "A portion of the seized funds will then be used for restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies--policies that hurt our country so badly," he said."

    2024 election: Political Nostradamus Allen Lichtman Is Shocked by His Inaccurate Harris’ Win Prediction - The Economic Times

    excerpt:

    "As the live stream neared its end, both Lichtmans became noticeably frustrated by the numbers showing Trump ahead in all seven swing states. Allan Lichtman said there was nothing positive for Harris in the data, and he believed that democracy was gone, as quoted in a report by The New York Post.

    Sam Lichtman was less apocalyptic, hoping Trump serves his term and never has to deal with him again. He concluded the stream by saying that democracy is precious but can be destroyed from within, and America has fallen in step."

    Trump will age from 78 to 82 in a second term. One shouldn't become overly optimistic about him finishing a term. Various incidents can happen, such as medical mishaps and assassination attempts.

    An issue with Trump's supporters is that all their hopes hinge on one person who will supposedly fix it all on his own with no one else like him to take over the movement when he is gone. Trump decimated the Republican party which will have a hard time recovering after Trump is gone, whether it's an early unexpected mishap or the end of his second term.

    Democrats lash out at Biden for not removing himself from the 2024 race earlier.


    https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/06/democrats-blame-biden-trump-win-00188092

    excerpt:

    “It would have been better if we had had a primary, even if Harris was the eventual victor,” said Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), one of the first congressional Democrats to publicly call for Biden to step aside after the debate. “And it was necessary for the Democratic nominee to separate him or herself from an unpopular incumbent, as much as we love Joe Biden. None of those things happened.”

    2004 was the last time a Republican presidential candidate received the majority of the popular vote.

    And that’s why democrats need to seriously examine their strategy going forward.

    Fear and hate is effective enough that defense against it is a different game.

    The voting age should be increased to 21 since many of the gen z “men” who voted for Trump grew up wearing an FJB shirt provided by their ignorant, redneck parents and never had a chance to form their own opinions.

    It’s a cult and a growing one.

    Meet the new boss
    Same as the old boss...

    Won't Get Fooled Again


    We'll be fighting in the streets
    With our children at our feet
    And the morals that they worship will be gone
    And the men who spurred us on
    Sit in judgement of all wrong
    They decide and the shotgun sings the song

    I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again

    A change, it had to come
    We knew it all along
    We were liberated from the fold, that's all
    And the world looks just the same
    And history ain't changed
    'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

    I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again, no, no

    I'll move myself and my family aside
    If we happen to be left half-alive
    I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
    For I know that the hypnotized never lie

    Do you?

    Yeah

    There's nothing in the street
    Looks any different to me
    And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
    And the parting on the left
    Is now parting on the right
    And the beards have all grown longer overnight

    I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again
    Don't get fooled again, no, no

    Yeah
    Meet the new boss
    Same as the old boss

    Dismantling the Department of Education? Trump's plan for schools in his second term

    excerpts:

    "Trump has also suggested that he would create a new credentialing body to certify teachers "who embrace patriotic values and support the American Way of Life" and reinstate his administration's 1776 Commission to align the teaching of history with the "values" of the founding of the United States -- though Agenda47 does not elaborate further on what such values are or define the criteria for embracing the "American Way of Life.""


    "Trump's agenda for higher education includes creating a new, free university called the "American Academy" and fund it by "taxing, fining and suing" private universities."

    The way cities are forced to make plans to protect themselves from Trump sounds like it is for a hurricane or an invasion by insurgents from another country.


    If Trump wins the election, US cities are at risk of military takeovers and mass deportations

    excerpt:

    "Mayors and prosecutors in several US cities are collaborating over strategies to minimize the fallout. Levar Stoney, the Democratic mayor of Richmond, Virginia, a city of over 220,000, said he was aware how difficult it would be to resist Trump given the enormous powers at a president’s disposal.

    “It’s very difficult to autocrat-proof your city,” he said. “But you have to have backstops, and mayors are working in coalition to ensure they can be a backstop against these divisive policies.”"

    The transformation of Megyn Kelly from Trump critic to Trump supporter is another example of the 'invasion of the body snatchers' phenomenon.

    If Trump wins the election, US cities are at risk of military takeovers and mass deportations

    excerpt:

    "Larry Krasner, the progressive district attorney of Philadelphia with whom Trump clashed several times during his presidency, said he was taking the former president at his word. “It is incredibly serious for big cities that lean strongly Democratic, as Philadelphia does, when a potential president who identifies with dictators all over the world talks about conferring on federal authorities powers they do not have.”

    Krasner predicted that Trump would face severe blowback if he tried to carry out any of his menaces. “We’re not going to let somebody carry out a coup as soon as he’s in office, whether with tanks or on paper. My father served in world war two, and countless Americans died to resist fascism. If anybody tries to orchestrate a coup they’re going to encounter tremendous resistance.”"
