Re: Trump wins US Presidency for a 2nd Term

As my friends in America tell me, Trump didnt win because people really want him, they just wanted Harris even less.

Lol, maybe it is time for you to give up the day job after all, for a glittering career on the comedy circuit awaits you with lines like that. :D

Well if that’s the yard stick you’re going to measure him by, then you could argue he was cognitively in decline from 2014 onwards, as that’s how he’s talked ever since he entered the presidential race.

Quote:

Direct questioning helps keep his addled thought processes on-topic. Set him loose and he can’t cope.

so he hides his cognitive weakness by being interviewed and questioned?…..ok.

But if you’d watched the Rogan interview you’d know that it isn’t “Direct Questioning”, it’s a conversation and he is given enough room to go right off the reservation if he wishes.

There’s nowhere to hide in a long form unedited interview in a conversation that can go absolutely anywhere.

That is the very reason Harris wouldn’t do it, you can’t keep up a pretence for that long.

Quote:

I get that he got more votes than Harris and won on both popular and college terms, but Harris’s unpopularity has nothing to do with cogency.

Didn’t say it did but she was truly terrible.

When asked what would she do differently than Biden on “The View” and she said she couldn’t think of anything! Well what’s the point of you replacing him then?

Then when asked what her policies were her reply was, “they’re on my website”

An interview on 60 Minutes, where they had to edit one of her answers as it made no sense whatsoever, and she’s not the one with cognitive issues.

Then a 41min interview with CNN, of which only 27mins has been aired…………

Then an absolute car crash of an interview with Brett Baier.

And a campaign based purely on Trump is a Nazi.

Whereas, dementia Don………

So they voted for neither candidate then?

No idea, not my business to ask them, or yours.

I'm not talking about your friends, I am talking about the "people" who didn't want Harris to win. Judging from a lot of the reactions from those that voted Trump and now regret it, I guess a lot of them did vote Trump.

A long-awaited report into former Republican US Representative Matt Gaetz is expected to be released on Monday.

It follows an investigation by the House Ethics Committee into allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use by Gaetz, who was briefly lined up for a top job in the cabinet of President-elect Donald Trump.

A draft of the report seen by the BBC's US partner CBS News, external - described as a final version - reportedly says there is "substantial evidence" that Gaetz broke state laws relating to sexual misconduct while in office.

Gaetz, 42, has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, saying he is the victim of a smear campaign. He has not commented on the latest developments.

The 37-page draft seen by CBS is quoted as saying: "The committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favours or privileges, and obstruction of Congress."

From 2017 to 2020, Gaetz made payments totalling more than $90,000 (£72,000) to 12 different women "that the Committee determined were likely in connection with sexual activity and/or drug use", CBS quotes the draft as saying.

The draft also reportedly contains testimony that Gaetz paid for sex with a 17-year-old at a party in 2017, giving her $400 "which she understood to be payment for sex". Gaetz has denied having sex with a minor.

Re: Trump wins US Presidency for a 2nd Term

Seems Trump has his eye on Panama (Canal) and Greenland. I wonder which he'll invade first. :erm:

Probably Greenland.. For some reason he wants to steal it!!

Re: Trump wins US Presidency for a 2nd Term

And example of Trump' senility. America doesn't need another Biden but that' what it's chosen.

He said he wants to buy it.

Like he did 2019, as for the Panama Canal that’s just a veiled threat as he thinks they’re charging too much for passage.

As I said earlier, he must have been senile in 2019 too.

Isn't the real question what those that did vote Trump really think they voted for? They knew all about his lying, raping, etc. but this did not change their decision. So, they either ignored what he said he would do (tariffs, immigrants, cuts to state funding, etc.) because he is a liar so assumed he would not do these things or they believed he would do these things and ignored the fact that he lies.
