Do you know where Vancouver Island is?

What country has the most Penguins? (Penn state doesn't count)

Where did the first living cell come from?

What percentage of the Earth's atmosphere is CO2??

I will do an autopsy later.
There were campaign mistakes that I knew had a substantial chance of leading to defeat.
My worst fears were realized.

The demoncrats got the BOOTS put to them. Get used to it

Repubs also took the house, in a landslide.

So now you can fight, gripe, cast stones and cry for the next 4 years. God answers prayer. and Millions have been on their knees, for the last 2-3 days. (Even in Canada)

Anyhow MAGA!! Go Donald!!

--------- Ok i have had my 'dig'

he took Michigan. Took Pennsy. Thank you Amish we all owe you lunch

Ok if he fails, then you will have your turn

I will help you with a criticism,
In his acceptance speech ( 8 minutes in) he has not given thanks to God for the Victory.. run with that if you like

My constant warning that we have a dumb country with overall poor character was proven correct.

I have yet to hear what the election actually tells us.
And that is that the country is much more right wing then was believed .

Imagine if there was no abortion issue. That Rowe v Wade was not overturned or in danger.
It would have been a far greater landslide.

IMO one of the biggest reasons that Harris lost is the the public was never educated on the fact that Covid caused the inflation. All over the world. The public even democrats have little understanding of this.

I heard Harris mention it just once with very little emphasis. There should have been good commercials devoted to this and major speeches about it. Then the economic achievements that were other then grocery prices might have been appreciated.

Again it was the economy stupid and the democrats gave up on talking about it.

Now we will soon see who Trump appoints and what happens to the military.
Many brass could retire and will be people like Flynn be elevated?
Will RFK and his ilk be appointed.
And what is going to happen to the DOJ. Will the prosecutors clash with the attorney general?

I haven’t looked at house races but in a lot of senate races where the dem incumbents won they squeaked by.
At least 3 were flipped.
I think that the abortion issue saved the ones that won because people relied on their dem senator to hold the line. Trump overcame the issue. And he did not lose votes in several states that had referendum votes. They brought back abortion rights and felt that victory there would obviate any need to defeat Trump.

But again if no abortion issue I think more would have lost.

Regarding commercials which are so extremely influential Dems flunked. Kamala never refuted terrible lies. Her commercials were good but there should have Also been ads devoted to refuting lies and saying they were lies in a strong way. It did not happen and she was tagged by the lies.

The trans issue is one of the most effective issues for Trump. The Dems could have used common sense without alienating the LBGTQ community. I don’t think that even the LBGTQ community would have been offended by saying that trans women should not be in female sports. I bet most gay people even agree.

Casey will probably limp to victory by a much tighter margin he ever had. His commercials kind of refuted one issue but with fire. And other thing like the trans issue he totally ignored.
Big mistake.
The Dems needed to fight fire with fire, with truth but strongly delivered.

In fact I think that it is fair to say that if the Dems did some saturation bold faced lies it would have helped them. That is a sad sad conclusion.

There is a lot more to talk about later.

Today is the beginning of the End. Stock your cave.

Once he starts he will not inflict fatal damage but he will inflict such injury that the democracy might suffer a concussion be in a coma and in a wheel chair for a long time.

I am just as worried if not even more about foreign
policy. Namely China, Russia, North Korea, Venezuela, NATO, Iran, and trade.
We will become an isolationist country with friends who are the bad guys.

I will explore this later.
This is my therapy for what happened.
I always knew this could happen but I hoped it would not. My worst fears have been realized. And my image of the country has been shattered.

There is a lot more to discuss about where he and his people will lead this country and dangerous misadventures involving individuals and countries and the rule of law and the institutions that gave the country pride and security.

To be continued.

I am through for the day. I am going to a great deli and getting a tremendous open faced hot turkey sandwich.

IMO the second term of Trump started after the 2020 election. When he made that call to Brad Raffsenbrrger ( sp ) which asked him to commit election fraud and was clearly a crime and when that failed he tried a scheme of sending in fake electors for acceptance on certification day to create utter chaos and a bunch of criminal acts. And when that failed he tried the old way of violence.

He did more then enough horrible things during the term but after he lost he really showed us who he is and what he is. Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

So for me the second term started then. He could never had won again if there were not about 100 million people who either think what he did was ok or they put their head in quicksand and developed amnesia.

So for everything I have written and continue to write that is my reference point.

I will write about the deep anxiety I have about our place in the world.

And I have some more comments about mistakes made long before the election and during the campaign. There needs to be a great deal of soul searching and acknowledgment of certain serious mistakes that were made. Not nearly serious enough to elect a fascist but serious indeed.

Stump said he would settle the Russia war in one day.
He won’t and he will blame it on Dems saying it could have been settled when it first started

He will threaten no help to Ukraine if they refuse to hand over part of their country to Putin.

He will not fix it.
In general Trump believes if it ain’t broke then fix it
