If so they are really dopes. Trump will be much worse on their people.

Why don't you post about your own shithole country?
FACEBOOK POST FROM DEAN:
When I wake up later today (I work 3rd shift), I am suspending my
Facebook account. As this point, I need to tune out politics and the
news and just live my life. If youÆd like to keep in touch while IÆm
away, my email address is soulexpress@gmail.com.
I will not express anger and outrage over this election. I wonÆt point >fingers or blame anyone. To do so would only provide a good laugh to any >MAGAs who might read this. Rather, I will simply acknowledge (with deep >sadness) that the America that I once believed in no longer exists.
Anybody I know who voted for Trump will no longer be in my life. We
donÆt merely have a difference of opinion; we have a difference in
morality. I donÆt give a damn how long IÆve known you or how close weÆve >become. If you voted for Trump, IÆm done with you. Sorry, but actions
have consequences.
As a straight white male in a solid blue state, IÆm less concerned about >myself than for those who are NOT straight white males. Trump and his
minions have made no secret of their feelings toward AmericaÆs ethnic,
sexual and religious minorities, not to mention people who simply donÆt
share their views. This election will further embolden them. For the
first time in my 58 years, IÆm thinking about getting a gun and learning
how to use it. Better safe than sorry.
IÆm also concerned that following this defeat, the Democratic Party will >shift to the rightùexactly as it did after the so-called ôRepublican >Revolutionö of 1994. During his final six years in office, Bill Clinton
made policy decisions for which Ronald Reagan would have been
excoriated. And who suffered for it? Not the wealthy and powerful!
IÆm glad I never had kids and that my life is approximately two-thirds
over. With the direction my country has taken, I shudder to think of
where it will be in 50 years. At least I wonÆt be around to see it.
America: it was nice while it lasted.

The primary reason you posted this response, DianeE, is because
it *unintentionally* highlighted the mass murder of innocent
citizens in the Gaza Strip - Bari Netanyahu (says DianeE)
It's *commonly said* that Netanyahu is maintaining the war to
delay his criminal prosecution for fraud, breach of trust, and
bribery.
Additionally, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has sought arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other Israeli and Hamas leaders for alleged
war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Dean and Jim might be right, but dwelling on doom and gloom isn't really
my style. I'm inclined to wait and see what actually happens.
I asked Copilot:
what might be the effect of proposed import tariffs on the cost of living
for senior citizens
(me - to state the obvious, seniors with substantial savings or
investments {eg Rick? :} will be better insulated against cost
increases; on the other hand, it's estimated that around 20-30% of
seniors are already living near or below the poverty line)
Response:
Proposed import tariffs, especially those as high as 60%, could
significantly impact the cost of living for senior citizens. Here are
some potential effects:
### Increased Prices on Consumer Goods
- **Essential Items**: Tariffs on imports can lead to higher prices on >everyday items such as clothing, footwear, and household appliances╣. >Seniors, often on fixed incomes, would feel the pinch as their purchasing >power decreases.
- **Healthcare Products**: Many medical supplies and medications are >imported. Tariffs could increase their costs, making healthcare more >expensive for seniors.
### Reduced Spending Power
- **Overall Budget**: Higher prices on imported goods mean seniors would
have to allocate more of their limited budgets to cover basic needs,
reducing their ability to spend on other necessities or leisure
activities.
- **Inflation**: Tariffs can contribute to overall inflation, further
eroding the value of fixed incomes and savings.
### Potential Benefits
- **Domestic Production**: In some cases, tariffs might encourage
domestic production, potentially leading to more affordable
locally-produced goods in the long term. However, this transition period >could be challenging.
### Economic Ripple Effects
- **Market Volatility**: Tariffs can lead to market instability,
affecting investments and retirement funds that many seniors rely on.
- **Retaliatory Tariffs**: Other countries might impose their own tariffs
in response, further complicating the economic landscape and potentially >leading to higher costs for a broader range of goods.
Overall, while the intention behind tariffs might be to protect domestic >industries, the immediate effect on senior citizens could be an increase
in the cost of living, making it harder for them to manage their
finances.
Congratulations to President-elect Trump on his big win
Well its all over bar the shouting
Congratulations to President-elect Trump on his big win and from this
side of the puddle of course I wish him and the great American people
well
I'm not sure exactly how it will work out now between a markedly right
wing administration in Washington and a well-to-the left four month old >government here in London but we can only hope that good relations
continue (after all our PM Tony Blair and your President Bush #2 from >different sides of the political spectrum got along pretty well
Good luck America!
I don't normally write poetry but came up with this one the day after
the election. It's based on a piece I read in Mad magazine in the late
1970s.

Enough of the stupidity already
Yes, I agree. it's very stupid to just blindly congratulate the winner
of this election without regard to what he stands for.
Make sure that your country pays their full share to Nato. Otherwise
he'll tell Russia to do whatever the hell they want to you. Will you
also congratulate him when he withdraws from NATO and leaves you and the other nations vulnerable?
Roger, you are very rigid in your ways. You are allowed to leave the box
once in a while.
