He is killing in the popular vote by 5M Senate Republicans have 51 seats and may win more. I won’t miss Chuck Schummer. I’m unsure about the House… But the supreme court is conservative and likely will be so for a decade, maybe longer.

NeuroTypical Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 Colorado remains blue, even though Representative Lauren Boebert won (memorable for trying to carry concealed into her day job in the US capitol the day after Jan 6). And so did right-wing talk radio host Jeff Crank, who basically said "the republicans in this state have been a joke for decades, so Imma go do something about it.

JohnsonJones Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 (edited) I believe I called it several months ago in what I called a prediction (almost called it a prophesy, but I wouldn't say I'm sure enough to call it that) that Trump would win the election. It's not absolutely positive now, but some news sites are calling it. Next step is when Russia gains power and influence (and most likely to defeat Ukraine due to the chain reaction of this, I can hope they won't, but their odds probably just went down). Also, as I noted then, the situation around Israel could be leading to a bigger war and more strife in the region. With an empowered Russia allying with some of the other nations in the region (Iran for example) it could cause a much bigger war leading to what we would see as things similar to what is predicted prior to the Second Coming. We just need a Temple rebuilt, Two prophets, and David to be called and we have the set up for the Second Coming in the very near future. Of course, I know most won't support my thoughts that leading to this is the idea that Trump is an Anti-Christ or THE Anti-Christ, but I feel that he is checking off a lot of the checkmarks for the role (if he wins the election I feel it qualifies for the beast that everyone thought was dead and then rises again miraculously. Afterall, who would have thought that Trump would come back even stronger this time around then he did ever before, probably even stronger percentage wise of the vote then he did in 2016 even. And if he doesn't win (several news sites are currently projecting he will) I imagine further chaos with trying to validate the election, that somehow it will be prevented and the case will go to Congress, and if not there to decide his presidency, to the Supreme Court where he will be declared President. PS: I would also say, that at the time I had a great deal of concern about this matter and was greatly comforted. If Donald Trump is the Anti-Christ, or even if his election is part of what leads to the chaos and destruction in the world, it is all part of the Lord's plan. It plays his part in moving us closer to the Second Coming of the Lord, and we should not be alarmed at the events that have been predicted for over 2000 years finally coming forth before our eyes. This isn't just in relation to Donald Trump, but to all the various conflicts and troubles that are happening in front of us and before us today and the continuing difficulties that will lead up to the Second Coming as well.

Phoenix_person Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 Dems have no one to blame but themselves. They didn't take dissent over Gaza seriously and they thought "Orange man bad" would be enough to sway moderates who care more about grocery prices than reproductive rights. They got what they paid for. At least I can take solace in the fact that we won all of our local races.

There are at least 3 senators I know of who are RINOs who lean HEAVILY toward liberal policies. We can hope. So far, Trump has at least 277. But it could be as high as 312. Most projections are looking at just around 300. Edited November 6 by Carborendum Vort and NeuroTypical 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroTypical Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 (edited) In other news, this 43 year old comic strip is almost exactly as on-point as it was in 1981 when Reagan was rocking it. You just have to update the last comment a tad to reflect international relations. (I'd love to see this comic go viral with the hashtag #TieDownAllTheChina.

Traveler Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 I have thought about the election (which did not turn out as I expected). I am not sure what will happen next. I think Trump is mistaken about a lot of things, but I will begin with the economy. I believe that Trump believes that the key to the economy is energy – in particular fossil fuels. I am quite sure increasing our use of fossil fuels through drilling will take longer than Trump realizes. Unless old drilling methods are used. That would be a quick solution but could backfire before the next presidential election. Can Trump bring back the Abraham accords? Maybe – I think that is the best hope to settle the Middle East. Ukraine, I believe, is a bridge too far for Trump. My biggest concern is internal the opposition to Trump. There has been an effort to stop Trump by extreme methods – including murder. The left has demonstrated that when upset they can be hazardous to life, property and the rule of law (lies before a FISA court). My biggest hope is that Musk will be put in charge of optimizing government operations and weeding out waist. In summary, I thought Harris would win – now I have to take a serious look into my political opinions. When white water rafting, I live by the philosophy that what ever has happened is in the past and the most important thing is to get ready for what is coming next. I have no idea what is coming next.
