Who will win the 2024 US presidential election?

[Red.]

Don’t kid yourself Red It was a comment directed at me from yourself which was meant as an insult

The observation part was redundant as soon as you made claims about someone having imaginary friends


Then in your very next post you say how insulting others should never happen

You're the only one kidding yourself champ. You took offence to my observation. That insult is on you. But you already know that.

[Andrew Walker]

The only way to find out is to try it.

Nah I’m a bit too clever for that and can see straight through you. I reckon you are salivating at the thought of giving me a ban and just waiting for a reason More importantly I have standards and I’ve far more wit and have got a lot more class than to hurl homophobic insults at others

You're the only one kidding yourself champ. You took offence to my observation. That insult is on you. But you already know that.

This comes across as nothing more than attempted gaslighting and you’ve mistakenly come to the conclusion me pointing out your hypocrisy is me taking offence to the comment you made

[Red.]

If you didn't take offence how was it an insult?

[Andrew Walker]

If you didn't take offence how was it an insult?

I said I believed it was meant as an insult. Really now Red what is one to think when another starts posting about them having imaginary friends I find it very odd behaviour on your part You are normally very cool in our interactions

[Red.]

I grow weary of your games Mr Walker. This will be the last time I interact with you. Goodbye and good luck.

What I really needed was some colouring books, Legos, a snack and naptime.

Thankfully my BF gave me a blowjob instead.

I agree somewhat however questions now need to be asked as to how it became such a huge win for Trump, what it means for the Dems and what the full extent of the win means for the future of the USA and our relationship with them so I can see value in keeping it open.

Veteran journalist ism22 speculated that:

- Trump has a heap of celebrity pull factor and his marketing pitch worked this time around. Also, the broader trend is that both left and right wing governments are struggling to hold government right now due to inflation. Politics aside, people see prices going up + lower bank balances and instantly say 'the current government did this to me' rather than inviting a few economics PhDs over for a robust discussion about global economic conditions and what impact fiscal / monetary policy has had on them. MR might be best equipped to talk to this one as she's an economost.

- There's always the mid-terms and I suspect once people have realised Trump's threats to slam China with a heap of tariffs, send home a heap of 'illegal aliens', 'end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours' don't work (or magically fix the economy / 'make things great'), his majority will be gone and he'll find it impossible to pass anything. We'll then get 2 years of him moaning / groaning like an animated dead corpse (as he'll know he not only can't pass anything... he can't contest the next election), after which the public will have another vote.

- I suspect that in the short-term this will fortify conservatives within Australia though. Faced with inflation and Trump's victory... IMO Albo will struggle to win the next election. Even if the RBA were to cut interest rates pre-election, the lag would be too great for anybody to feel the weight off their shoulders and be like 'well done Albo' (noting he's not responsible for monetary policy anyway, so I'm not suggesting they should be doing so... but voters do).

- Right now I'm sorta happy there's no riots and shyte. I was prepping for a rougher week actually... one where Trump got smashed but refused to accept it, called for riots, called the system corrupt and caused a heap of chaos. TBH I'm enjoying being able to process the calm. As Biden said... Trump winning doesn't mean the Dems have been destroyed. Every election's different and I don't necessarily think that Trump getting a big win, taking it as a mandate to do whatever the fark he wants and acting like an arrogant dictator for 4 years will necessarily be good for the Republicans' chances moving forward. We'll see!!!

- Curiously not sure where Andy's Menadue-loving alts have gone (with some becoming Trump fans despite identifying as 'lefties'). Be interesting to see how this plays out for the Australia/China relationship. I've said it before but one big thing going for Trump is that Chinese/Russian interferers (including Russian bomb threats closing down polling booths where Dems were expected to show up... not blaming this for the result but JUST SAYING) actively want Trump in so that he can harm the US' relationship with likeminded countries, thus opening the door for them to make inroads as a source of power/authority. It'll be a 'watch this space' I suppose but my guess is we're in for a world where Trump and Dutton are trying to play the big man against Jinping. Neither are statesmen so the international scene will probably be a little bit dreary.

Oh please! Compared to the 'Ho?

Let's see:

Cardi B
Beyonce
George Clooney
Julia Roberts
Taylor Swift
Bruce Springsteen
Robert De Niro
Bette Midler
Oprah
Whoopi
Katy Perry
Harrison Ford
Will Ferrell
Billie Eilish
Mark Hamill
LeBron James
John Cusack
Hillary Duff
Jessica Alba
Kendall Jenner
Ariana Grande
Jamie Lee Curtis
Christina Applegate
Rihanna
Mick Jagger
Madonna
Jennifer Lopez
Ricky Martin
Stevie Nicks
Willie Nelson
Lizzo
Usher
Kesha
Neil Young

...and the list goes on

It came at a cost though. Somehow, the 'Ho has managed to blow thru more than $1.2 billion in campaign funds in 100 days and now owes $20m. That's some real slick graft going on right there. Good God Almighty, imagine if she was in charge of a multi trillion dollar economy?

I really had to stop reading after your first paragraph of nonsense.

[rented tracksuit]

As was I.

I've been in a very dark place ever since that terrible slur.

I think I need a therapy pet.

Would a sausage dog do? Or perhaps a Cocker Spaniel?

Elon called out Jennifer Lopez regarding Diddy.

I always preferred dobermans.

You are a much more tolerant man than me Red. I struggle to suffer fools gladly.
