Reminds me of this quote:

When Clinton won, I was disappointed, when Obama won, I was disappointed. When Biden won, I was disapointed. BUT I went to work and got over it…in about 10 minutes. These….people are unhinged and need some serious medication!​

Is this what “getting over it and accepting the results” looks like?

Why isn't anyone cheering for fourth Reich. We need Trump dictatorship.

That is an abnormal response?

Fetterman has no sense of decorum and it's both hilarious and irritating.

I wonder if this is how Cato the Younger, Cicero and other Optimates felt when the new, gallic senators promoted by Julius Caesar refused to wear togas and instead wore pants and tunics.

I don't get it, leftists demonize jews and israel but the moment anyone does anything resembling a roman salute they start shuddering in fear, pick a lane faggots

I always found it riotously funny how close the Free Palestine tards are to being redpilled. You’d think that after being told “anti-Zionism is antisemitism” by Greenblatt for the fiftieth time, they’d get a clue.

Just want to thank the USA for giving me season two of the best comedy I've ever seen, stay chronically retarded!

they live in perpetual cognitive dissonance
like thinking islam is a feminist religion when it calls for women to be wrapped in towels or else they're whores

Can we conscript illegals in the United States in the event of a war? No? Of course not?

Then we do not have jurisdiction over them, and their kids do not qualify for birthright citizenship.

So, ~11 million illegal immigrants will essentially have diplomatic immunity under this new interpretation of 14A? Can't see how that would possibly be a bad idea.

Trump won by 1.5 points.

Obama won in 2008 by 7.2 points. That’s what an “overwhelming victory” actually looks like.

I thought that a landslide victory is someone being up by double digit percentage, like Reagan in 1984. This Trump victory is certainly more robust than the 2016 one though and robs the usual suspects of the ability to kvetch about the electoral college.

I got inundated with videos of Elon apparently doing "The Salute" on his speech today, doesn't the Trump Adminstration have close connections with Israel and also has Jewish staff themselves?

Bro what is going in US poltiics, feels like its just getting crazier every year

To be fair that was more a result of how obviously bullshit that election was. A man who shits himself and is one of the worst career politicians getting the most votes in history? I got some beachfront property in Montana to sell ya retard

Does winning by more points mean you get to POTUS harder?

Is that how that works?

What are you saying? Illegals still have Mexican or Indian or whatever else citizenship, they aren't just stateless persons if denied that shiny navy blue American passport
This is nothing like freed Blacks in the US South in 1870

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

hey, just realized but Trump's 20th wedding anniversary is Wednesday, its also his longest marriage.

One of Trump's most consistent allies has been Stephen Miller as well, who is Jewish. The media doesn't bother to mention this or talk about him much.

Reading his Wikipedia page for the first time in a long time and it's interesting.

[Miller] prevented the publication of internal administration studies that showed that refugees had a net positive effect on government revenues.

The citation used for this seems to be a NYT Article. The study isn't public so there isn't any data to go off of, Wikipedia is implicitly lying using the word of the New York Times. Not surprising but it's a reminder you can't hate journos or Wikipedia propagandists enough.

The internal study, which was completed in late July but never publicly released, found that refugees “contributed an estimated $269.1 billion in revenues to all levels of government” between 2005 and 2014 through the payment of federal, state and local taxes. “Overall, this report estimated that the net fiscal impact of refugees was positive over the 10-year period, at $63 billion.”

But White House officials said those conclusions were illegitimate and politically motivated, and were disproved by the final report issued by the agency, which asserts that the per-capita cost of a refugee is higher than that of an American.
...
“They’ve generated a lot of economic value,” Mr. Chertoff added in an interview. “I don’t think refugees are coming to take American jobs.”

(Chertoff, an Israeli-American, was secretary of homeland security under Bush and in favor of infinite migration. He also helped write the PATRIOT Act)

This is just from my personal experience, but you can not approve of what Israel is doing on Gaza and Palestine and not be racist against Jewish people, there's actually nuance to be found, its the same reason we can seperate Nazi Germany and the German people

 

[Product Placement]

I think it's incredibly stupid. And unnecessary.

And petty, but that is why it is funny.

How long until Vance uses Trump's dementia to try get him booted?

I just pray Trump will stay safe. I also want Trump to do something about guns.

I agree, inflation has made them far too expensive
