The mental gymnastics on Trump walking away with this is glorious. CNN's batch of pundits in particular are almost speechless because not only is Trump +50%, but he's running the board with every major demographic category, including suburbanites and college educated. Doesn't help either when little Meatball looks poised to eke out a second place victory that shuts down any further Nimrata astroturfing.

It's not a good night for neocons and Never Trumpers when Iowa looks like this:

Who cares? The Dems are now emboldened with the knowledge that they can commit mass, widespread election fraud that's literally caught on video nationwide and still win the election. A dozen states are using their legal systems to invalidate him as a candidate. And Americans just might be retarded enough to legitimately elect Biden again regardless. Does anyone sincerely believe Trump will ever be allowed to hold office again? He upset the WEF's power structure, and that won't happen again.

Let's be real here. Anyone who didn't think Trump would sweep the Iowa caucus like a Reddit jannie was deluding themselves.

The political reddit salt mines are like being in a padded room. Complete disassociation from reality.
NYT is saying there is a no chance Haley will come in second which is good because she goes into NH damaged, Desanits decided to forego NH so thats bodes well for Trump. SC is the next prize, thats Haleys home turf but I have a feeling Trump will sweep.

This right here. The simple truth is it was never about Trump per se. It was about what he represented. And the way the machine reacted to him was perfection. Which means throwing the orange man at the system one last time will be the culmination of everything everyone who voted for him the first time wanted.

it was never about the money. It was about sending a message. None of the GOP candidates have a chance because they don't want what 70 Million American voters want. Fundamental change in Washington DC, and an end to the technocratic state. Nikki Haley, and even DeSeantis, are no different from Biden, because fundamentally they want what Biden wants. Control of the Status Quo. Trump is an agent of chaos, and at the moment Chaos is the only alternative to the Status Quo.

And since we have a binary election system in America, we must choose between one or the other.

Desantis never said anything about 2020 being rigged, only instead saying FL was cleaned up, which was done more by Rick Scott as he was leaving to be senator and no one would punish him with removing that bitch in Broward.

Desantis never fought hard about the DOJ being DOGay in attacking Trump along with other lawfare, instead trying to get gay little digs in and pretend he would do something about the DOJ and FBI. It started with the "paid money to a prostitute" and never got better.

Desantis started off pretending he would never take interviews with hostile news because he thought he was above it, even criticizing Trump going on CNN that first time (where Trump hit a grand slam and really cemented his nomination), only to then go on MSNBC and CNN and flake around with the most basic bitch questions and responses.

Desantis let his gay wife with the big eyebrows shove her face into everything, looking like a weak controlled man, while Trump goes wherever and despite their attempts to make it look like his marriage is over is still together with their 8' tall son Barron Guts Trump.

And Desantis knew the FBI was raiding MAL and did nothing about it. All because it benefits him. He's said it already, he's just trying to have delegates so when Ronna and the RNC truly fuck over the party and deny Trump the nomination, he can say he's the replacement because he has the 2nd most delegates.


Listening to Beanie Man's show this evening, a woman who lives in Iowa made a fair point that all the Vivek stans were from neighboring states who wanted to hear him speak, which made his influence seem greater than it was. Factor in people pulling back to Trump, he should realize he needs to pack it in and get a cabinet position and focus on getting younger people to vote for Trump so they can then vote for Vivek.

I'd rather see DeSantis go.
Nikki's stans at least don't attack the base like Democrats do.

They definitely will if they think it will work to their advantage. I suspect they will turn up the heat for New Hampshire and South Carolina.

I know, which is my point. Anyone who unironically cites World War II or the Cold War for how to turn things around is not a serious person. Russia and China certainly have advanced beyond the 1980s and even though we don’t like them, that doesn’t mean they haven’t been making strides since the peak of Pax Americana.

People have to keep in mind that Iowa is a caucus state, which inevitably leans towards whatever GOP organizers, such as they are, prefer. So if Trump was able to get a majority of the caucuses, then the primary formats are going to even be more in the tank for Trump. For those who don’t remember, NH and SC were “surprise victories” for Trump in 2016 because they assumed Rubio and Jeb were going to win. This time they can’t even bother to pretend he won’t win, it’s now a matter of who gets to be second place. These primaries are going to be a clean sweep. Only Utah may be cucked enough to go for Nimrata or Zion Ron, every other state is going to be for Trump.

The nomination will be over before it reaches that point. New Hampshire will be a Trump win, Nevada even more so, and then South Carolina will kill whatever excuse Haley (and DeSantis if he's still in at that point) has to stay in the race. Problem for both Meatball and Nimrata is that outstanding establishment money and endorsements are going to quickly start falling in line behind Trump to ensure they're not locked out of any potential administration influence/role. You got a good glimpse of that tonight with the number of state and federal representatives present at Trump's victory speech.

Also lmao at Trump all but endorsing Iowa AG Brenna Bird for the governorship right at the start of said speech. Kim Reynolds guaranteed is regretting that Meatball endorsement with every breath.

We're moving away from 5.56 because body armor is proliferating to the point it's not dependably defeating targets.

I guess that might be true.

However as the two wars in Ukraine and Gaza show that 5.56 and 5.45 is still here to stay for the battlefield.

And Russia or Ukraine or the IDF has not seen a need yet to upgrade to a 7.62x51mm type of round yet

Corporate America is as much on the chopping block as Political America in this election. It is wildly optimistic to assume that they will surrender. Trump returning to power will not just be a repudiation of the political establishment in Washington DC. It will be a repudiation of the Academic, Media and Financial establishments as well. There is plenty of room for fuckery going foreword.

I'd wager we'll be seeing him again. We need bench candidates, better if they are not career politicians. Politicians and elected officials at current have made it quite clear they are not "for the people" but for themselves and other corporate interests. I'm more surprised that he hadn't dropped out sooner. Now let's see how long it takes meat ball to come to Jesus and drop. All I know is, I better not see a backdoor presidency to Haley. That woman is the devil wearing Prada personified.
