At this point, I'm just resigned - let us go to the brink, allow the forces of Mordor to assail the walls of Gondor - either the white tree blossoms or doesn’t.

When people see that the doors are torn down and the city is burned, 10 million people will decide they shouldn't have sat out the election.

He still lost vote shared compared to the previous election.

How do you mean?

2020 Results:

Biden: 81,283,501 Trump: 74,223,975

2024 Results (95% Reporting):

Kamala: 70,383,093 Trump: 74,312,688

Trump effectively had the same number of people voting for him - and obviously had a bigger share of those that bothered to vote.

Do you not arrest the Beer Hall Putsch perpetrator because it will rile up his supporters?

“It clearly paid off to aggressively push to delay these cases as long as possible,” said Jessica Levinson, a constitutional law professor at Loyola Law School.

No duh, everyone knew this was his plan. Basically the same plan as Netanyahu.

This is why you should rely on the AP for election results.

A shame it doesn't have hall effect thumbsticks (and vibration), but more quality controllers I will not shake a stick at.

Layoffs sometimes mean freeing up salaries for different positions (e.g. a company pivoting). Curious jobs though, not really sure what to read from those tea leaves....

 

This is not the first time Trump has been accused of politicizing the military for his personal gain. He’s allegedly called dead soldiers “suckers and losers,” insulted the late John McCain for being a prisoner of war and recently stoked controversy for saying civilian Medal of Freedom recipients are much better than those who received the Medal of Honor — the highest military award in the country, often given posthumously.

 

The move followed a decision last year that the Biden administration had overstepped its authority by trying to forgive more than $400 billion in student loans.

 

Trump was questioned immediately on his rhetoric about race during a tense appearance at a Black journalists’ conference, where the audience at times gasped and scoffed at his remarks.
