Republicans also won the house and senate.

With the combined total of a right controlled presidency, congress, and supreme court what can't they do?

It's like an awful combination of a boomer making a flirtatious "joke" and the hyper nerdy language of The Big Bang Theory show.

And it's a hilarious coincidence that it resulted in the southern most point being Antarctica, as it just happens to be the only continent without bears.

If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.

He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn't make him a good puppet master.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it's stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.

I don't think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it's value to come back and buy it on the cheap.

There are multiple cases where pure chance and human hesitation prevented all out nuclear bombardment in the Cold War.

Hopefully the loopholes of executive power that enabled that crackpot plan will be closed up by then...

From a game theory perspective, a trumper discouraged to vote is worth 1 vote, a flipped Republican vote is worth 2 votes.

So the appeal to the right makes sense if it works, because every vote from that camp is also a negative vote from Trump.

I have the hope that she'll end up being more progressive after votes are counted.

Partially because she has Walz which is a good sign, but mostly I'm hoping for hopes sake. 🤞
