Was it here I heard that Trump stands to make a personal fortune of 8 billion through cronyism, corruption, back-handers, and just your ordinary old-fashioned criminality? It's bleeping disgusting to even think about.
I'll never bleeping understand people who are driven by wealth and materialism. I get that it's a natural impulse to hoard money and power over others (I guess), but philosophically I'll just never bleeping understand it. A simple, pure life is so much better. Don't laugh as I sit here in the dark shivering ... No, really. It IS. Mo' Money, Mo' Problems.

What? You're a continual mouth of sharing misinformation on this thread though and never have a source.
So similar to trump saying stuff that has no basis in reality.
The US elections results are linked to a trend happening in all developed countries - that doesn't so much linked to the right vs the left but a general dissatisfaction towards governments. The Tories got wiped out in the UK for instance.
As for Musk he has an incredible leverage inside Trump's close circle. The idea that the richest man of the world will have the ear of Trump while having this kind of position is not that reassuring.

Well this is excellent news no? 
Democrats dreamt of an unbeatable coalition. Trump turned it to dust
Latino, black and younger voters once helped Obama win power - Trump made gains with all three groups this election. Why?

More insight into the voting patterns for democrats to ignore.
What is clear is Obama’s coalition of the ascendant has shrank significantly.
I wonder if the Dems are going to learn from this whole experience because they can’t use the same methods next time.
Another lovely liberal in action.

If only a few more would follow suit
As I said previously in response to the op, it's likely due to the fact he is a trad Catholic. They tend to have traditional views in regards to gender roles.
True, but it’s possible they won’t be friends for long since Trump has an incredibly fragile ego. The minute he thinks that someone in his administration is stepping on his toes or getting above themselves, he flips his lid and fires them, telling them they got above themself. This is what people who worked with him in the last one say. Apparently, everyone who surrounds him walks on egg shells. If something has to be presented to him in writing, it better have a large picture of him on the front of it
it’s hilarious but at the same time incredibly concerning.I note that Ivanka isn’t keen to serve in the administration this time(!)
Up there with the Republican police chief who said his officers wouldn't aid or assist people who had Democrat signs or who he knew to support Democrats.
Another lovely liberal in action.

Both should be removed from any sort of public assistance positions
That vile FEMA woman has been fired. Quite rightly.

Secondary source for those who like to pretend it’s untrue because it’s in the Mail.
FEMA fires employee who told Florida relief workers to skip Trump supporters
After Hurricane Milton, FEMA slammed Donald Trump for spreading misinformation about the status of the agency’s disaster relief funding.

For once I agree with a government department, “reprehensible” is an apt word. How deep and ingrained must your hatred be to ignore people in need in a natural disaster area? When it was your literal bleeping job to help them.
At this point Trump Derangement Syndrome needs to be investigated as a mental illness. It’s causing people to lose their basic humanity.
“Without fear or favour” is essential for a very good reason.
In my life experience the only thing binary about the human race is that people, regardless of politics, race, religion, social status, ethnicity, etc always fall into one of two categories; massive twit or not a massive twit. There are both of these on both of the political divides. Sadly, history has shown us that when it comes to extremes on either political side, the massive mats seem to rise to the top unfortunately.
Yep. Two cheeks of the same a.
We really really need a charismatic centrist candidate to wipe that a with some industrial size Andrex…..
I like to think I’m a massive twit with a heart.
I find that my level of twatiness fluctuates in direct proportion to the twatiness of the person I'm currently engaging with.
You give twit you get twit.....
Oh yeah, I think most people can be twit fluid if needed but I still maintain that massive twit/ non massive twit is binary in that some people are incapable of changing their level of twattishness regardless of the situation they find themselves in
Edited to add: and if you acknowledge that you can be a twit, that kind of shows you aren’t a massive one in my books. Massive mats rarely have that level of self awareness x

Politics is about one thing: WINNING.
If you need to lie, so be it. I think the Labour government lied, but they won. Hopefully they will do something good. I'm not covinced the Trump regime will do much good.
It is what it is.

American interest in moving abroad skyrockets after Trump's win — here's how many would actually leave
Google Trends showed searches related to "leaving the country" and "how to move to …" spiked following the news that Donald Trump is returning to the White House.
Record number of Americans researching how to leave the US, after Trump’s win. American citizens still have to pay taxes to the US if they live and work in another country. US citizenship is not to be taken lightly.

Agree, this is the issue the world over right now. A trend of voting for populist figures. When hoi polloi discover that they have been duped and lied to, they continue not to care. See Brexit 🫣I'm not covinced the Trump regime will do much good.
