Now we get to the next Big Issue.


Given the DC Swamp & Deep State has committed so many Civil Liberty violations, and Constitutional Crimes.

Can they allow Trump, or Vance, to take office?

Or was it that the LSD's couldn't cast enough Fake ballots this time, to keep up with the REAL VOTER numbers?

#6 Good, glad that's over with. I was actually more worried about the House & the Senate.

But don't be surprised if Harris becomes president within the next 2.5 months.

#7 Boris Rozhin:

Agent Donald returns to the White House.

The Republican Party seizes control of the US Senate.

The only intrigue left is whether the Republicans will also retain control of the House of Representatives.

If they do, Trump and the Republicans will have at least 2 years of carte blanche.

The Democratic camp is in mourning today. 2016 is back.

#8 So far the worst thing about Election 2024 is the large percentage of the electorate who voted for Harris/Walz. Biden AFAICT never polled less than a 30% approval rate, very high considering his lousy performance. The results are a squeaker, not a landslide.

#10 It's not over till the Donks are held to their own actions - National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). By their own creation, all those blue states said they're committed to give the electors of their states to the winner of the popular vote. It's put up or shut up time. If they 'put up' trying to legitimize the compact, then the EC vote is going to be a landslide.

may not be constitutional, doesn't seem to take effect until some threshold reached

I don't think this round of the electoral college vote will be affected

#14 Went to bed early last night and just woke up to the Trump victory. I turned on MSNBC and it was amazing. I thought I was watching FOX. No Nazi talk, no losing our Democracy talk. On the contrary, bad mouthing how the Dems failed America on the border, crime and economy. WTF!

I was thinking about that in the middle of the night, Jains Elmusoth2776, but couldn’t remember what it was called. Thank you for asking for both of us.

We did warn them that it was a bad idea, back in the day.

Good question.

If Republicans control the White House and both houses of Congress the very first item on their agenda should be federal legislation to ban computerized voting machines and cheat-by-mail ballots throughout the United States.

Then get to the deportations.

#41 Anybody else hearing that Donald Trump is the new Hugo Chavez? And not for the police round-ups or the stolen elections, which were completely ignored, but for the financial ruination of a formerly prosperous nation. Tariffs instead of taxes turns out to be a trigger point — who knew?

#45 Talked about the need for a peaceful transfer of power. Ugh. Is she promising no protests in DC for the Democrats in January?

Harris calls Trump to concede defeat, discusses need for peaceful transfer of power

Kamala Harris called President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to concede the election and congratulate him on his victory, according to a senior adviser to the vice president.

The aide, who declines to be identified discussing a private conversation, says Harris talked about the need for a peaceful transfer of power.

Harris, once viewed as a potential savior for the Democratic Party after Joe Biden’s reelection campaign stalled, is reckoning with a profound rejection by American voters in this year’s presidential election.

She trailed in every battleground state to Donald Trump, a man she described as an existential danger to the country’s foundational institutions. And Trump appeared on track to win the popular vote for the first time in his three campaigns for the White House — even after two impeachments, felony convictions and his attempt to overturn his previous election loss.

Harris planns to deliver a concession speech Wednesday at 4 p.m., her office announces. She’ll speak at Howard University, her alma mater in Washington, where her supporters watched returns Tuesday night before being sent home after midnight as Trump pulled ahead in battleground states.

In a bitter footnote for Harris, as the sitting vice president she is expected to oversee Congress’ ceremonial certification of the election.
