The Senate does not have a filibuster-proof majority. They could potentially end the filibuster, but given that it’s the Republicans’ favorite tactic, there’s a decent chance they might not. Especially since the less extreme Republicans can use it as an excuse to let bills they don’t like die without having to vote against the.

The House margin is likely to be thin enough that the moderate Republicans will vote down the crazies. So even if the Senate ends the filibuster, the most egregiously stupid laws should still be stoppable.

Trump still has the ability to do a lot of damage, and he probably will. But if the Republicans piss off people too quickly, they’re likely to tank in 2026, with there being a decent chance to turn both the House and Senate blue and lame duck Trump for the rest of his presidency.

It’s going to be rough, but do not abandon hope.

God damn it, won’t Harris stop trying to transition everyone already? First literally every school child and immigrant, now shitty presidents! /s

I showed up to vote. But not enough others were excited to do so.

Climate change isn’t permanent. It has changed before and will change again. This will all sort itself out in the next several million years, you’ll see.

When it’s all counted, he will likely have about the same amount as he did last time.

It’s not that people voted for Trump, it’s that people didn’t vote for Harris.

What people believe and what is true are two different things. A lot of people believed Trump’s wild rants about people eating dogs and cats, doesn’t make it true.

Because the objective, non-partisan facts suggest the economy is doing well.

Here from the future: they weren’t wrong.

Problem is that this legitimizes their belief that there are set characteristics that define people as “manly.”

Every 30 years or so we make some sort of social progress for women and/or LGBT people, and then a panic ensues that society is trying to destroy manliness. The Joe Rogans and Andrew Tates of the world suddenly pop up and start selling their nonsense that will magically make them the man’s men that their grandfathers were (while in fact their grandfathers were being told the same thing.)

The solution to this isn’t to tell the loud whiners that their exact fears are true. It’s to divorce ourselves from the notion that being a man is determined by penis/testicle size, or even by having them at all. By telling the bigots that their worst fears are true, we’re tacitly endorsing their bigotry as legitimate, when we should be doing the exact opposite of that.

We just got the answer to that question yesterday.

We’re going to get a Supreme Court who says a sitting president can’t go to jail for any crime, including the state felonies he’s been convicted of that he can’t self pardon.

Trump got about the same amount of votes as he did in 2020. Harris got about 16 million less than Biden did.

It’s less that voters changed their mind and more that millions of voters will show up and vote Democrat when they care and stay home when they don’t.

The only silver lining is that maybe the Republicans will just forget about trans people until it’s time to stoke the hate again for the next election.

But yeah, very disappointing result. The country was willing to vote in a twice impeached convicted felon (whose sentencing will be postposed indefinitely, I suspect) over a gasp! brown woman.

Welp

This was silly and cheesy. But it is such a relief to see a politician enjoying themselves rather than ranting.

Or even “vs only president to be impeached twice,” “only president to be elected after losing and being impeached” “first president elected by an electorate that knows full well he is a rapist,” etc.

Monkeys are specifically non-ape simians.

Problem is on some calculators C is clear all and CE is clear entry, on some C is clear entry and AC is clear all, and some have a C/AC or CE/C button where it’s press once to clear entry and press twice to clear all.

So it’s safest to mash unless you really know your calculator, because the industry can’t get its shit together, and that’s the sole reason it died (I’m assuming.)

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
