If only this could have been seen coming ... there were really just no warning signs ... I'm tired.
Exactly, I wasn't so much shocked as I was surprised Harris lost. I mean how can so many people be that dense as to vote for Trump?
What gets me is that there were millions who couldn't be bothered to vote against Trump.
imho Biden/Harris shouldn't have had to do anything whatever. People should have just shown up and said 'no' to anotehr Trump term.
Absolutely, being normal should beat a flaming sociopath. But malignant narcissism and sociopathy have become virtues in USA, as the ultimate symbol of freedom. Because they only think of themselves.
Good thing most Americans can find an extra three grand in their couch cushions. /s
That's not for them. Vance left a tip for the couch when he finished.
"People keep acting like a trump win will be the end of democracy, but thats just hyperbole. He wont end democracy."
-bad faith trolls
No he will not end democracy as such, it's in USA he will end it.
To be fair, COVID-19 was also a factor in 2020
Though the orange goon's abysmal handling of the situation didn't help.
Most definitely
Remember, if you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.
I thought DOGE saved taxpayer money. Since the cost of government spending is lower, taxes should be lowered. This Trump and Elon are scammers if taxes are not lowered.
Only if you make over 360k a year and above.
It saves it for distribution to billionaires.
The doge website is filled with shit like "We saved a million dollars by cutting a program that feeds starving babies" and I just have to laugh. One million isn't even enough for the average person to retire on, the government is operating at a $1.7 TRILLION deficit PER YEAR.
When did sabotaging your own economy become a hallmark of leadership? Asking for 300 million friends.

He works for Putin. He’s been very successful at following his orders.
😂😂😂 Oh boy those MAGA idiots that were complaining about inflation and thought voting for Trump would help them. 🤣🤣🤣
How's that going for you? 🤡🤡🤡
They'd cut off their nose to spite their face. As long as people they don't like are hurting, they'll suffer as well. They'll probably just find a way to blame Biden or Obama again.
They won’t actually find a way. They’ll just make up shit that Trump was actually responsible for.
I kept saying this, and I'm glad others are realizing it.
He steamrolled tariffs because it's a tax on the working class. He will never raise taxes for the ruling class.
At this point I think it's just market manipulation. They are already going back on some of the tariffs.
If I (someone who makes around $30,000 a year) owes anything CLOSE to 2 grand in federal taxes theyre gonna have to send the IRS after me to collect. 🤷 Sorry dumpy donnie.
You won't see $2k more in Federal Income Tax, you'll pay higher prices on store shelves (because of the tariffs the Federal government collected from the importer of the goods, which ultimately get passed on to you the consumer)
And pay $1,540 extr in actual income tax
I call it “trickle down getting-fucked”
The burden is coming in the price of goods you purchase not in a tax that is due.
Finally someone says what it is.
TARRIFFS ARE A SALES TAX.
TARRIFFS ARE A SALES TAX.
TARRIFFS ARE A SALES TAX.
And every consumer hates a sales tax.
I wouldn't be surprised if these tax hikes are imposed, then Musk/Trump issue checks with their faces that give 'free money' to everyone in an attempt to curry favor.
If that happens, I will turn that crap into Euros.
I don't want to give up too many secrets, but....
...the ultimate way to own Libs is to destroy the economy and raise taxes on everyone that voted for you. Ssshhhhhhh....don't tell anyone, them Libs'll be so pissed. ;)
I still can't believe Bidenflation is still happening.
Well jokes on you, Republicans will have their tariffs paid for by China, Mexico, and Canada and even better they're going to be getting a stimulus check for 8K thanks to DOGE.
That's what Tik Toc tells them and what they know to be true.
This went into effect today.
Trump Set to Whack US Working Class With Historic $2,000 Tax Hike
They updated the article FYI.
