Cheap lawn service, cheap housekeeping, cheap nannies, cheap fix it labor, cheap fruits/veggies,

Life can be soooo unfair when you have to clean your own bathroom and do your own kids laundry.

you mark my word (and you and I both know the local Super5 damn sure isn't just gonna eat that cost as a matter of customer service lol) and if we're smart about how we respond, every corporate complaint phone number in the nation will just be the White House main line...lets see how effectively they can run a government when they cant make calls to each other.

if these dipshits still want their rooms cleaned or their meals served, believe me I'm happy to do so (I know that work I've done it before), but no way in hell I'm doing it for less than 25$ an hour...my white ass will just decide to not work, and the salaried people and the owners can figure out how to solve that problem THEMSELVES (hint--they won't, and I'll get what I want, or the MAGAS will wait 2 hours for their food).

Remove all the safety nets, devalue retirement funds and savings... yeah

There will be a desperate work force. It's in the Plan. On page two. But hey, if you're rich there's a great real estate opportunity coming. Beach front lots at contractor prices. Called Gaza Estates. Call the White House...ask for Jared.

who hasn't answered her phone in over a month.

I'm fairly certain she moved back to Mexico, and
I don't blame her.

Luckily, I can clean my own place now. I do the
special exercises I learned in physical therapy
every other day, plus I altered my diet to organic
and only blood type friendly foods.

Good thing, huh.

I am more than a bit worried about the inflation
that will come with tariffs, but I'll deal with it
when the time comes, hopefully.

If so, then my party is dead.


Sickening

Congratulations Latinos! You got your guy - now you have to live with it.

Dictators are very popular south of the Rio Grande. Just a fact.

and the purpose of our national progress/liberalism has been to offer those peoples' kids societal and economic opportunities not systemically available to their parents.

I'll admit, it isn't the best base model, but it IS what we have to currently work with.

Especially those that are undocumented.

Its not demeaning or stereotyping, just an observation. Most of the construction and lawn care crews in my area have undocumented labor. My son is in the trades and works with crews every day.

That artificially lowering the price of low skilled labor by flooding the market with vulnerable undocumented immigrants to be a compelling argument in favor of not enforcing immigration law.

Hope you have good running shoes! or a good hiding spot!

And they will get it - in spades. Sadly, so will we.

Who will surely be regretting their vote once they lose their Obamacare and Social Security benefits. I should have specified that.

“knowing” that they are in on covert secret information which makes them feel special and above others. Their arrogance in their quest for the “truth” provokes them onto discover their next juicy bit of top secret info.

When the crashed economy hits us all (except for the 1% who will then take the remaining land and resourcs from the 99% and enslave us all) the addicted will scream the loudest, lash out at everyone and then shrivel in fear.

We of sobriety and higher knowledge must help each other through this.

They dont want to fix immigration. They want cheap labor. They just bellyache about it and pass blame to democrats.

Maybe some more wall gets built by a guy who donated money to trump. But we arent deporting their labor source.

They DO want to purge all non-white immigrants. Women, children and disabled people will replace them.

And, like you said, use the rest for cheap labor.

I figure prison populations, which will become more and
more Black.

away with taxes on overtime pay?

It was never about benevolence.

It’s because the 40 hour workweek is on the chopping block. Overtime will no longer exist as we know it, so there’s nothing to remove taxes from. It’s just more work at the same hourly wage until employees’ bodies are destroyed.

I hope they eat each other alive. There is not a credible Economist alive who is a fan of tariffs.. The ignorance is breath taking

Republicans didn't actually want to overturn Roe. Without it, it would be impossible for them to get their base to turn out. Maybe in the past that was true, but not for the MAGA Party.

Is deporting a huge portion of their cheap labor a really stupid idea? Yes. Are they thinking logically? No. Any costs will just be passed onto the consumer and then blamed on Democrats.

The dump train is about to get rolling and people are going to be stuffed in it.

But, I do understand the sentiment.

They know only how to be selfish, self-centered, ignorant narcissistic children. They'll come around, but only AFTER they spend some time out in the cold winter because they wouldn't help the rest of us gather firewood for the house.
THEN they can be welcomed back inside.
Until then...well, if they choose to freeze to death for their god-king, that's on them and I feel morally obligated to respect their dumb choice.
What I WON'T do, is let them set the house on fire as a substitute for the work of gathering firewood.

I do hope that I live longer than Trump (and McConnell, and one other politician whose name I can't recall right now.)

The ultimate "trump" card: "Democrats did it. They handed me a busted economy. It's all their fault"

That is old hat for Republicans. People will believe it...again. they always fall for it because Democrats play "go along to get along" and don't say anything.

They have swallowed everything else. No matter how bad it gets they will blame Biden after the dictator sets fire to the world.

They voted for a convicted felon.
A rapist, draft dodger, a whining shit that is always right and it is somebody else's fault.

After 4 years of his last disaster especially Jan 6th and they still voted for him.

Face it we have a lot of very stupid gullible idiots in this country and it is only going to get worse. Control of his political message will be secure.

Bias confirmation and an affirmation of bigotry
and white siuperiority.

Oh, and rabid nisogyny, which I believe drove
the red votes this round.

... have red hats, bellies drooping over their belt buckles, and can count their teeth on one hand with fingers left over. The first time return fire whistles over their heads, they'll turn tail and bolt like drunken hippos.

More PTSD for the country.

...

Well. Here's to the killing off of Americans in myriad of ways. Putin will be so pleased he won't have to do it himself.
Xi & Putin can split the proceeds between them.
Unless: the fat orange pusbag realizes he is indeed king of the world & wastes American lives in the pursuit.
Either way. There are going to be a lot of dead Americans by the end of this era & it won't be blamed on a pandemic.

..if the face-eating leopards have their way, RFK jr will have control of what little healthcare our government actually concerns itself with, so it will be a fucking POLIO PANDEMIC next time (or Scarlet Fever, or The Plague, or whatever else illness modern biology has found an actual cure for that the face-eating leopards think is a globalist/deep-state/jewish/depopulation conspiracy).

Scarlet Fever is still around. It's basically strep. My daughter had it when she was 2. There is no vaccine

Sadly, history has shown that it doesn't. This fascist shit is just starting.

Oops. Bad decision on their part.

"looks illegal" = "get the hell out of my country"

I'm already telling her to find his birth certificate, make copies of it, and give it to every adult (teachers, principals, step-father, coaches) responsible for his day-to day well being. Because by Valentines Day, 'Papers Please' is going to be a real thing in America, and she needs to be ready.

He thinks a piece of paper will keep him safe, and he hates the ones who came after him. Because they “make him look bad”. But what he doesn’t understand is that his brown skin and thickly accentuated English are what they will look at, not a piece of paper that they can claim is fake. I’m not going to tell him.

He wouldn't believe you if you did. People who are that deep in denial will do the equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears and going "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" no matter what you try to tell them. But I'm sure you know that.

There was a lot of that in central and Eastern Europe about 90 years ago.

Virtually unlimited power. Now of course it is only supposed to be used in a time of war. But the potus and congress can declare a state of war.

In any case, i wouldnt rest on the formality of citizenship. They could just redefine that through the courts. Or coerce people to renounce it. Lots of ways they can play with it.

but I don't think we will get to that point because even skidmarks mcgee said there would be no wars.

And since he barely has a first grade understanding of history, someone fed him that script on the teleprompter. Someone whose name rhymes with steven miller.

That someone no doubt has a plan to invoke it. Probably in conjunction with the insurrection act.

Since uber fuhrer mueller is the final solution architect, im sure he has everything laid out.

Dont worry about law or constitution. He isnt.

But how many of them have family members who are undocumented?

I'd love to see the looks on their faces when ICE shows up and arrests an uncle or an aunt or a cousin!

And ICE has mistakenly arrested American citizens in the past and sent "back" to their country of origin!

The media IS Fox-lite. It's been heading that way for a long time. The wise will keep the following simple rule of thumb handy for every occasion something you hear makes no sense. ALL MEDIA IS PROPAGANDA, with just enough truth in the reporting to hook your attention span.

It is absolutely true that Latino voters - both men and women - flocked to Trump. Just look at all of the Texas counties on the southernn border which voted blue in 2020 but voted red yesterday. Even in heavy Latino counties that stayed blue, there was a large shift right.

of damaging the blood of our country?

Our rumor-mill-media is similarly reliability challenged. There are none in the system who would profit from revelations, no matter how factual, which impugn their credibility. Go figure.

I think the best IT minds of at least one enemy state have been on this for several years. They've honed their subterfuge skills over multiple US electoral contests to attack and corrupt our system at every point of weakness, this, in alliance with the leadership of the Republican party. Given that, how in hell can there be a reasonable argument when all contentions are based on media-produced assertions and supported by media-produced evidence, the basis for which defies credibility?

As silly as it sounds, we must resort to our own common sense based on experience over time. We are being told from many points of view and in many scenarios how blocks of (use a demographic term) do not, in fact, vote as a unit. But here we jump and salivate when some entity rep. dangles a pre-packaged, self-serving baited hook that posits, "these people have uniformly accepted a new and enlightened attitude because (insert Republican talking point)". This old song-and-dance is growing tiresome, folks. Almost as tiresome as good people falling for it over and over.

1st - Now that (R)'s are in charge of the Senate, they will abolish the filibuster and ram through as many ridiculous laws that they've always wanted.

2nd - Thomas & Alito will surely retire in the next 4 years and I'm praying that Sotomayor can make it through the next 4 years.
As it stands the 6-3 will all be younger so it will take at least 2 decades to replace them, leaving only Chief Justice Roberts as the old fogie.

We're so screwed & (R)'s don't care.

'We're so screwed, and R's not only wanted this, THEY'RE HAPPY TO HAVE IT.', is what you meant to say....

yes, because this is exactly what they wanted.
(R)'s have worked 50 years to get back at (D)'s for making Nixon resign, and now they consider this their comeuppance.

All the norms that exist in and around D.C. are going to be shattered.

So now we are at a virtual Smoot Hawley 2.0. Version 1.0 set up a world wide depression, seeded Fascism and led to the greatest conflict we ever faced. Try as they might no one will be happy.

"Fascism? Wazzat?"

While I share your thoughts and warnings exactly the majority of American voters will believe anything he tells them so don't be surprised when everything he does or doesn't do that makes things worse will be blamed on Democrats.

The question is how will Democrats respond?

So they voted for tariffs.

just look at Florida.

They all forgot to take their Irony Deficient tablets before voting

Dearborn Arabs have apparently decisively voted for Trump. I guess it was a protest vote, punishing Kamala for not being ‘better’ on the issue. I believe they will regret it.

Personally, all that Gaza horror shit has just dropped way down on my list of things to worry and be active about. When the jackbooted thugs come for the Arabs in Dearborn, I’m probably going too busy trying to help the Latinos and Black Americans who are my neighbors to help.

A vote for Trump was a vote for division. You see some of that in this post. You reap what you sow.

Sooo, THAT will be good for American-Arab/Muslim relationships around the globe.

SURE it will.

That is/will be Trumps foreign policy mantra regarding the other dictators. Ukraine will fall. Taiwan and South Korea too. Then Trump will invade Mexico to get in on the fun.

keep his hotel rooms clean.

See, we can totally work with the fascists to make germany (oh wait I meant White America) great again.

He sells laptops and desktop computers. He will not acknowledge that a 200% increase in tariffs of items "manufactured outside of America" will fucking TRIPLE the price of nearly EVERYTHING in the store.

Good luck selling a $9,000 computer, you fucking moron.
Good luck selling a $1,200 monitor that's barely 23 inches, you fucking moron.
Good luck selling anything at triple the fucking price.

There's no reaching these fuckers. None.

I have been saying this for a while. If this is what America wants, so be it. I am tired of fighting for things that benefit the people who reject it. I am old, and tired, and have already been through this once as a woman. And the ignorance in this country is staggering. My millennial daughter is crying today and leaning on her mom friends for support. She was told to get over it, it's just like any other election, one side loses and it will go back the next time. Also that Trump didn't overturn Roe v Wade, the judges did. You can't make this up. Ignorant White affluent moms.

So I will enjoy the suffering. I will enjoy watching them drive their 100k pick up truck with the 1k car payment getting 16 mpg to work at the factory with no overtime pay. I will enjoy the shock prices of Home Goods and Hobby Lobby to decorate their homes for every holiday season, and having to give up trips to the microbrewery for wings and beer. We are in for a world of pain and they have no idea that means them too.

My 87 year old mother was a displaced person during WWII. She lived as a refugee until she was 14 and came to America. She keeps telling me nothing will change until Americans start to suffer. They have it too good. How sad is that?

There’s nothing I need except maybe a new pair of trainers once in a while. I like to eat out sometimes because I’m lazy, but during the pandemic I learned just how cheaply I could get by. If inflation hits, yes, I will notice it. I notice it now. But I won’t have two kids I don’t want and can’t afford to buy clothes for, so I’ll be fine. I can cut back.

So yeah, if child support payments and $500 New Balance shoes are what they want, have at it.

I never could figure out who those Neanderthals think is going to pay for all these unwanted children they are so desperate for their women to have. Dude. It’s you. You won’t be able to work under the table forever.

And the dribble of humility needed to acknowledge their own stupidity would be absolutely beyond the pale.

I don't care what happens to these dumbasses. But I hate how good people have to suffer for their dumbassery. I'm so irritated right now.

they have access to the same information we all do, NO EXCUSES

It will be cleared, one way or another. Those who withheld their votes based on palestine are about to see palestine end bloodier than it started.

And those who decided that machismo was more important than mass deportation? I doubt that your citizenship papers will save you if you are not white.

And those that wanted us out of world affairs? Gonna be a hard time in Europe when they have to go up against Russia without us, which is gonna hurt our trade a lot.

And when china takes over Taiwan.. everything digital is gonna get screwy and expensive fast.

I am somewhat curious what effect Elon will have. Maybe if we call Tesla Trump-mobiles going forward, that alliance will at least help move forward some parts of adjacent environmentally helpful tech.

his glorious sperm.

So, they do not care about the leopard. But, they will have to face that leopard regardless (pun intended). It will be when the metaphorical screaming starts that I will be laughing hysterically. And, making sure that they see me laughing at them.

And, he/they will. Can't wait to see the looks on their faces when that happens.

The autocracy will have the momentum. The new systems to ensure its perpetuation will be in place.

Plus, as the stresses from climate change -- food and water shortages, environmental disasters, increased numbers of climate refugees -- exacerbate, then people more strongly gravitate toward authoritarianism. Reduce resources and desperation creates strongman rule. It has been the case over most of human history.

I knew this future was coming once climate change got bad enough. I failed to anticipate its arrival before the meteorological feces really hit the fan.
