Politically, maybe. But to see the back of the Orange Turd does feel good!

I dont think its slight, I understand why someone might phrase it like that. But its not slight when its this close to the fulcrum between bourgeoise democracy, if I can phrase it that way for differentiation, and authoritarianism. We are still seeing the disdain for democratic institutions and systems right now from the President. If our current form of democracy is compromised as much as Trump is prepared to do, we are far from a "slight" difference. I am for more change than yourself Steerpike, but there is no chance of change without a democracy. Trump is a clear and present danger to democracy and that is far from slight.

Steerpike

Absolutely.

So, odds for Trump winning Republican primary in 2024?

robin1234

Just about zero. His mental and physical state in four years time ..?

vespucci

Even less than Hillary Clinton doing it in 2020, I think.

If he dares, I'd guess 30 ought 6, from someone totally unprepared to be forced to see that shit show again.

Your situational awareness is a bit shit. Or maybe you're still so horny for Clinton you can't see straight. She's enjoying the fizzzzuck out of today.

Leslie

Can you just **** off for one day? Just one day? Why do you want to share this day with a bunch of people who think you shouldn't leave the house without a helmet? Go find a friend. Or a beer. Better just stick to finding a beer.

Official statement from Prime Minister of Canada.

He's such a grown up. I'd have added 'thank **** for that'.

Unsophisticated Wild Ass 2024 Speculation:

Republican primaries will be a total bloodbath between the Trump faction, and all the other ambitious wankers on the Republican side of congress. Haley, Pence, Cotton, Sasse, Cruz, Paul, Rubio, Jordan... a cornucopia of fringe f**kery. Trump will threaten to compete, but ultimately stay out of the primaries. Some asshole like Tom Cotton will win, and Trump's ego will get the better of him, and he will run as an independent and split the vote.

The Dems, with a chance to stroll to victory with Kamala, will again seize defeat from the jaws of victory and find some other rich asshole to run independent and split our side of the vote.

The nation will meltdown and the issue will be kicked to an ever-expanding Supreme Court (at that time, nineteen permanent justices, with an additional seven rotating from lower appellate courts and local coffee baristas). The ever-expanding size of the court requires oral arguments to be conducted for a record-setting thirteen consecutive terms. (Clarence Thomas extends his record of not participating in arguments over this period.)

We begin the year 2037 with Interim Premier Ivanka at the helm; gulags are established in Alaska and North Dakota dedicated to manufacturing knock-off Louis Vuitton handbags. Congress has been suspended and replaced with a souvenir gift shop, popular with tourists. Mexico decides to build (and pay for) a wall, after all. Martial Law has been declared, and it's not uncommon to observe former Never-Trumper politicians squeegeeing windshields at intersections around DC. The possession of dijon mustard or tan-fabric menswear has become punishable with flogging, followed by amputation, and the My Pillow Guy is now in charge of the Justice Department, the Ministry of Propaganda, and Skynet. Former President Obama is accused of refusing to excuse himself from the dinner table, and is summarily executed on a pyre by the 16th hole on Tump Bedminster Golf Course.

This is all just a guess, though.

Biden is due to speak any moment now. People are in the streets all across the US celebrating. I do hope there isn’t going to be trouble/violence tonight and going forward.

You need to clarify the question; WHICH Trump? Don Sr, Don Jr, Ivanka? I'd say small chance for Don Sr. Less certain for the offspring.

moneypenny20

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they started pushing for Ivanka as soon as they can. Zero chance with the male offspring.
