Eventually, the Senate had something to say about that.

He did not get 50% of the total votes. So not even a majority of the people who bothered enough to vote (or at least the ones that we counted)

I will not save them from themselves. The guiotines have began to hit the streets. AKA the UH killer.
We have more guns and weapons than all countries combined.

If I were a company owner/ or billionaire stealing, cheating, or taking from the less fortunate...I'd rethink the policy.

No, I do not have guns but I understand the desperation of the people. Drugs, suicide, and despair have plagued the lower classes for decades...and they were just inspired by someone seeking justice.

Dangerous times, we live in.

He is meaning that is the plan of the 4th reich, themselves.

Always shifting blame to the innocent.

And that rightwing asassin just united the little people against the billionaire class and their excess at the expense of everyone else.

Who would have known.

The sad thing is Americans whether we are too stupid Or not we did vote in fascism. Maybe the price of eggs and milk were too high.

Most of the educated intellectuals are with Dems but we are not quite smart enough to counter all the misinformation that is out there and we are content with republicans controlling the narrative.

There was massive one sided psychological warfare on the American people. Putin and a his stolen Russian tax dollars attacked through ever social media, corporate news program and Republicon elected leader.

Sedition, treasonous behavior and insurgency was ignored. Voting law violations from Musk buying votes to illegal donations and Russian bribes were just the tip of the constant barrage of attacks on our democracy. And nothing was done about it.

So, you wonder how these Nazis got voted in? It was like inviting into your home a KGB agent to constantly whisper in your ear and tell you how wonderful pedo Trump was and how dangerous it was to vote Democratic.

Trump appealed to the innate American sense of hatred and rage and victimhood is all. Seriously. Rage, Hatred, Victimhood. Almost 50% of us voted for it.

Dems and their candidates do not ceaselessly spew hatred, rage, and victimhood. Therefore, say most Americans, Dems are weak.

MAGA fascists on the other hand, love to hate, are fuming and redfaced with rage, and by gum and goddammit, are tired as hell (and ain't taking it anymore) about the way them Haitians are gettin' everything and we get nothin; and they eat our pets and they live in 5 star hotels with free room service and what do we get but taxes and food which is so expensive we can hardly put it on our table to feed our kids etc., etc. Therefore, say most Americans, MAGA Fascists are strong

Hmmm. Let me rephrase the Reply title: "Most Americans are stupid. Just angry, mouth breathing, ill informed, hatefull, racist stupid. And that's the worst kind of stupid. The boat was leaking so they drilled holes in the deck to let the water out and are gearing up to complain about the ship's sinking stupid."

But we're in that boat they're sinking. All of us.

I look at them without mercy or pity, and will not in any way attempt a "balanced" description of 'em. They are the plurality of Americans (49%+) and they voted for Fatso and MAGA Fascism and they are stupid. (And those American Moslems who voted for Fatso (or who just decided not to vote for anyone in stupid protest) are the worst kind of stupid, allowing Fatso, the guy who actually banned their co-religionists from even entering this Country, to become its President. Takes some special kind of stupid to do that.)

Sorry for the rant.
