US Politics

Melania will leave him now.

I don't know why people fixate on this.

I expect we will have another obsession with russian interference as well.

It is easier than looking the truth in the face, which is that a majority of Americans like Trump's policies.

I don't know why people fixate on this.

We want him to be a lonely, sad old man. Is that too much to ask?

Calmly watching the Wisconsin count, even though it looks increasingly likely Trump has it. Don't see the point in the panic, which has been doing on since before midnight here.

The gloating is going to be off the scale (including Farage who will likely imply it was down to him)

Morning all! What I miss? 😬

This, and that the Democrats were not an attractive alternative.

For all that we love them over here, they haven't done anything to fix healthcare, the housing crisis, homelessness and massive inequality, or international relations.

Their only solution ever seems to be to start another war.

And just because I think the Democrats are cunts does not mean I think Trump is any better

Even the Beeb is calling Pennsylvania for him. It's all over.

Tragic and scary.

I went to bed with a bad feeling and here we are 😭

This sucks, I have colleagues in the states from minority groups / with health needs and I am worried for them.

To be fair, the Biden whitehouse has gone harder than just about any other US govt on fossil fuels. That much will be business as usual.

I feel very sad and quite worried this morning…😱

I hope @606 made some money

the Democrats are cunts

They've done fuck all to even acknowledge that most Americans have been left behind. All the people on minimum wage jobs living in cars and motels. All the families bankrupted when one of them gets cancer. They need Bernie Sanders for president. But there's so much hysteria about socialism that a left winger could never be a populist in the US.

Fuck me, it just gets better and better https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/06/donald-trump-tariffs-would-cut-uk-growth-by-half-and-push-up-inflation-thinktank-warns - will be blamed on Labour and we get PM Badenoch next

Fuuuuuck

Wow. Grim. Had hoped we'd be in 'too close to call' & recount territory this morning.
Taking the Senate and Congress as well, he'll be completely without checks and balances.
The world is fucked for 4 years now.

Looks like the end for the credibility of the pollsters.

It never was close but they just said it was because they had no idea.

This is what I’m thinking too. OSS not so much the republicans winning, it’s the democrats losing.

But Kamala was brat?

Pennsylvania result, ah, well. In the vanishing chance she wins all the remaining swing states, more than just MAGA hats are going to disbelieve it.

just thinking about trump’s proposed ‘peace deal’, it’s a wider thing than just ukraine: peace in america is when the losers give in and stop whining, or are made to

Anyone who made an enemy of Trump, better watch their backs. He'll be out for revenge.

What a shit show. Just look at all these freaks. Putin must be laughing his socks off.

Anyone who made an enemy of Trump, better watch their backs. He'll be out for revenge.

Starmer's decision to send loads of people to help the dems has probably not gone down well

Is everyone watching this? It's an embarrassment to be human now.
