Another wasted opportunity from Long Island. And Trump fucked up by stabbing Elsie Stafanic in the back. She already proved she could wipe out Hochul on the stand.

Blakeman crushed her during the debate as well. Don’t matter. The stupid lefties don’t care. They do not think rationally.

The popular opinion is that the war with Iran and the resulting high gas prices sank the Republicans. People say that was the main reason the Democrats won big time.
The shellacking has happened and there's no changing that. So I figure at this point. Might as well bomb certain parts of Michigan and Minnesota too.

DJT is far from perfect, but he did close the border.
And a great many of his proposals, including ending birth citizenship and installing voter ID were nixed by the Communists depsite his best efforts.
My greatest beef with DJT was his first term, when he was rolled by Fauci and the Covid Crowd. That caused enormous and lasting damage to both our freedoms and our economy.
For a smart man, he was very stupid.
Most of us here saw through the Covid Hysteria quite quickly.

Something is definitely happening in the manufacturing space. Lead times are out to four months on almost everything. Customers are trying to bring orders forward. We can hardly get quotes on machined components and when we do, they're from mediocre shops with astronomical pricing and huge lead times. It's been this way for 6 months now.
But of course the press will give the credit to the democrats.

Much has been made about affordability of housing . How many homes are used by undocumented folks using housing ?

Undocumented immigration population reached as high as 15.8M, report finds
The Migration Policy Institute, which pegged the 2024 number at 15.8 million, said in a report released Wednesday that the increase was “primarily driven by record unauthorized migrant arrivals at the U.S.-Mexico border and the Biden administration’s wide use of humanitarian parole programs to reduce chaos at the border.”
Undocumented immigration population reached as high as 15.8M, report finds • Stateline
New estimates put the U.S. undocumented immigrant population in mid-2024 at 14.6 million to 15.8 million, a sharp increase from around 11 million in the 2010s.

Somali daycare owner tied to fraud elected in Minnesota.

So democrats are ok with crime, fraud, theft of services, terrorism, harming kids, and I could go on and on.
Somali daycare owner connected to fraud wins Minnesota election
An owner of a Somali daycare center who was linked to a major fraud settlement won a seat in the Minnesota legislature.

Why ? It's not like the Republicans were supporting him.
He's going to change from his judicial picks not getting confirmed and little useful legislation being sent to his desk to his judicial picks getting denied and him having to veto what's sent to his desk.
The difference is mostly rhetorical not practical.
Congress might have been near useless for his goals. Now it will be outright hostile. That's a stark change in environment.
You're right about the free ahit army. Wrong about Medicare being paid into relative to the asked demands. Many paid in a ham sandwich and want a surf and turf dinner out of it. Same with social security. It's running out of money because people wanted to promise themselves benefits but didn't want to fund to the promise.
It's the equivalent of "promising" myself that dream vehicle at retirement but only saving $5 a month for it. Well hey brother, I didn't save enough in the account, it's not there. We knew about social security having issues since at least the 80s.

Environment sure.
But that's just the vibe.
It will go from good bills not getting to his desk to bad bills getting vetoed.
The net result is the same, no bills getting passed, good or bad.

SS has always been a pyramid scam. It counts on more workers than beneficiaries. What wrecked it was people having less kids, expanding the benefits to those who didn’t put into the system, longevity, and good old fashion inflation. For SS to work there needs to be around 8-10 workers per retiree. It will still be around for decades because every politician is scared of the AARP voting block. When the GenZ and millennials start to retire there may be a glitch because there is not as many of them as boomers, Gen X or Gen Y.

Twitter/X frickin sucks.
I had 3 links I was going to post here from X, but as usual, I did some quick research to verify the accuracy/truthfulness of the info I was about to link. All 3 failed the accuracy/truthfulness test.
X is a waste of time in most cases IMO. I dare say it's at least 90% bullshit.
I do think there was massive voter fraud involved in this lopsided of a Democratic win. But I won't know for sure until I see some credible evidence. And the links I was going to post here turned out not to be credible.
All's I'm saying is beware of anything on or linked from X. Whenever I check out anything from X, a quick honest search to verify will usually show it's often made-up bullshit to further one agenda or another.

I'd hasten to guess that 90% of political posts on social media are fake/AI/bots.
I'm traveling so I don't have time to research the validity of these claims but a number of people are saying the vote totals don't make sense. As in they are much higher than 2024 and fraud is highly suspected. Interesting because prior to the election I read/posted the Dems would try to force Trump to execute the insurrection act and then use that as a pretext to have him removed. Well, what could force Trump to use the insurrection act? Obvious voter fraud could absolutely do it. I hope I'm wrong but things might get interesting in the next week. The appointment of Stephen Miller as chief of staff is being compared to a "war time consilglere". We shall see.

I agree with those people, even with everything considered running up to the midterms, the vote totals still don't make sense. IMHO
I was just saying that in general, X is a terrible source of/for information...
Nothing personal.
Happy travels.
Across major data sources, the best-supported current estimate places U.S. gun ownership at roughly 85–100 million adults, with the 2026 National Firearms Survey’s 88 million figure considered the most methodologically rigorous. Current estimates suggest around 2.5–3 million adults in New York State own firearms, representing roughly 13–15% of the adult population. So how in hell did Democrats crush the midterms? Gun owners are just not voting in my opinion.

Trump didn't stab Elise in the back, Blakeman and the NY Republican Party did it: She had 150 million in her War Chest and the ability to raise another 150 million, but that narcissistic dick-wad was cock sure he was the better candidate and Stefanik refused to blow the money on a Primary...only reason I voted for Blakeman was because he opposed Hochul.
