Shame. Still all high and mighty? Some humble pie would do you well.
Welp, these Christmas lights aren't going to hang themselves.
You do understand how a bet works right? If you want the possibility of a reward you have to accept the cost. You never were willing.
Even though it's not looking like it's going to matter, the Walz pick isn't being talked about enough. What a colossal mistake.
We all look forward to your "analysis."
I guess you should worked harder making phone calls and posting on here, on Facebook, on Twitter and on other websites. Clearly, not enough people took your advice & deleted their accounts.

Folks…
First, nothing is done yet.
Second, if you nevertheless think it is, and your happy, remember your Churchill : in victory, magnanimity.
Third, if you think it is and you’re sad, remember that it’s a big ship and not designed to turn on a dime. And you’ll probably control the house that controls the dimes.
Finally, if you must soul search, remember what I tell my kids: you’ll always be better off being for something rather than merely against something else.

You don't have permanent xmas lights like me? Poor......btw welcome back from your break
NBC has Minnesota too close to call. Unbelievable.
And I think the idiots have been there a while. (Granted, in higher numbers than we used to see -- post WW2 we were actually tough, disciplined, serious, patriotic people, but that's been fading for a while, maybe what they say about good times is true)
But we used to keep idiots out of politics. That's changing. We had a breach in Trump and some of his cronies. Once they're in, they're tough to get rid of because of all of the other idiots that will support them. They're happy to dine on shit
Doritos for dinner. Nascent idiocracy.
While the Democrats haven't had this sort of breach (yet), they're also compromised of idiots that their version of Trump will gain traction.
Anyone seeing turnout numbers? Are the Ds turning out like 2020 or are more staying at home?
The one silver lining for me in Trump winning is that the Hamas sympathizers will get to see the fruits of their labor.
Context. If Trump was actually making some intelligent observations and used colorful language it's not like I would care. (Granted, I wouldn't say retard as a public candidate for anything, certain amount of decorum is to be expected)
Shapiro wins at least Pennsylvania for her. And I know several here thought Walz was a homerun that guy was a terrible pick. More of a popup to first.
Yep. And when he didn't resign.
There was one possible path with Kamala, and that would have been for Biden to have resigned and Kamala took office. Then she could have immediately reversed Biden's border policy and announced she was getting tough there. Announced and agenda to address crime in the cities. Whatever... Just optics of clearly separating herself from Biden and tacking hard to the center.
But the way it happened was just hopeless.
Yes, we would have been better off not having hundreds of thousands of people killed in WW2.
WW1 did us no good, and just set the stage for the even more horrific WW2.
We would have been better off shucking the New Deal horseshit in the 1930s instead of waiting until the 1940s.
FDR was doing everything in his power to get us into war.
With the Atlantic Charter FDR was trying to build support to enter the war in Europe, it failed, public remained against it.
He still had US ships hunting Nazi subs and trading shots with them as early as April 1941, before Japan attacked and Germany declared war.
From Stimson's own diary:
Nov. 7. Cabinet meeting this afternoon. The President opened with telling the story of Lincoln and his Cabinet—how he polled the Cabinet and found them all polling NO and then he said, “The Ayes have it.”
With that he started to have what he said was the first general poll of his Cabinet and it was on the question of the Far East—whether the people would back us up in case we struck at Japan down there and what the tactics should be.
He went around the table—first Hull and then myself, and then around through the whole number and it was unanimous in feeling the country would support us. He said that this time the vote IS unanimous, he feeling the same way. . . .
Nov. 25. General Marshall and I went to the White House, where we were until nearly half past one. At the meeting were Hull, Knox, Marshall, Stark, and myself.
The President brought up the event that we were likely to be attacked, perhaps (as soon as) next Monday, for the Japanese are notorious for making an attack without warning, and the question was what we should do. The question was how we should maneuver them into the position of firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves. . . .
That isn’t necessarily true. He had baggage for which he would have been hammered by the GQP. I don’t remember the specifics but he let the family member of a donor off the hook for a serious felony. Republicans can say they would have responded to him more favorably but he would have been public enemy number one, like every other democrat, had he been the vp choice.
Also, his popularity in PA at the time of the vp selection had dropped off considerably from when he was elected 2 years earlier.
These are people posting on a message board anonymously and often exaggerating, not the president of the most powerful country in the world.
I guess that's the issue, people no longer hold the president to a higher standard than a typical American and they should.
To have your country represented by someone that sounds like a message board poster that's exaggerating is an embarrassment.
You support the administration that imported 15 million unvetted foreigners including murderers and rapists. STFU!
She didn’t pick him because he was Jewish. That killed her in the Blue Wall.
Attacks Chis. Blames others about getting worked up. LOL! F'ing idiot
That's where people are missing the point. Many voters like that from Trump. They think he's just one of the guys.
It's all they do. Happy I'm not them.
You are the President of "them"
I actually kinda wish they didn't televise all this election results coverage on the networks. Just announce the final tallies after its all said and done. Or else do it on days where I don't work the next one.
But guys like Kornacky wouldn't have a job without Election night, so guess its inevitable.

We all have flaws. It just funny that @HawkMachine has to make fun of your drinking, while he jacks it in the corner because he's a sexual degenerate.
My drinking? I'm so tired of this nonsense. All these joke accounts do is attack. They have nothing.
Terrible pick. The guy was an absolute drip. The fact they actually thought the guy would appeal to masculine red meat men because he corrected football once just shows how drastically disconnected the effete elitist leaders of the party are from actual working class regular men.
I absolutely LOATH this terminology, but Waltz is the most beta male personality on a major ticket since Dukakis. He won exactly zero votes from the working class normal white guy.
(I am fully aware that he served his country and is very likely far more alpha than many candidates including Trump. But his calculated persona is a pathetic "pick me")
How about we start with the hundreds of thousands of criminals? Is that okay with you?
You brought a lot of this on yourself. You can't slam Trump and what seems to be the majority of the voters and then play a victim when your candidate loses.
