    So anything that you've done on a regular basis in the past

    Suppose the next president after Trump drops a nuclear bomb on your
    country. If he then wins reelection a couple of years later, would you congratulate him?

    I'd congratulate him if he dropped that bomb on Trump.

    60-70% of Americans think America is currently on the
    wrong Economic track.

    Not much policy detail but Americans like Trump's vibe
    in the areas of immigration, jobs, tax, foreign wars...

    But Trump might have to rely on Executive Orders if the
    Democrats win the House of Reps.

    If Trump wins as projected, I would like to comment on the state of the
    voters. Congratulations on electing a liar, a con artist, an immoral megalomaniac and unprincipled felon. I hope you get what you deserve- a
    mini Hitler. I'm grateful that at my age I won't have to suffer the
    results for too long.

    Not that Kamala and her supporters were prizes. My vote was withheld for
    either for good reason.

    an easy to read politically neutral article which helps us
    transform rough or vague ideas into concrete words

    Title: It's Simplistic to Assume Trump's Devoted Voters Are Irrational. https://www.fairobserver.com/world-news/us-news/its-simplistic-to-assume-trumps-devoted-voters-are-irrational/

    Intro:
    The narrative surrounding Donald Trump's supporters often characterizes
    them as ignorant and unquestioningly loyal. However, their support stems
    from a deep distrust in the American political system and a desire for
    change. Trump's appeal lies in his portrayal as an outsider willing to challenge the status quo, reflecting a rational response to a
    dysfunctional political landscape.

    There is just a certain percentage of USA voters who will not vote for a
    female president. Turns out that as unliked as Hillary is she did much
    better against Trump than Kamala did.

    It's also that we just keep firing the incumbent party. The last 3
    elections the incumbent party has lost, and the same thing with Clinton
    and Obama winning in 1992 and 2008. The last time a party was able to
    hold on to the presidency with a new candidate replacing the current
    president was 1988.

    And like 2008, 2016, 2020 we handed the new party all 3 wins, president,
    senate and the house, although the house is not certain yet, but highly probable.

    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.

    Why don't you post about your own shithole country?

    Gee, you are clearly very emotionally upset, DianeE.

    Iceland is, of course, not a "shithole country" :-)

    And the irony here, DianeE, is that in the next year or two the USA
    itself might well become the #1 shithole country in the Western World,
    (except for rich folk like Elon Musk and yourself :)

    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 you’d like to keep in touch while I’m
    away, my email address is soulexpress@gmail.com.

    I will not express anger and outrage over this election. I won’t 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
    don’t merely have a difference of opinion; we have a difference in
    morality. I don’t give a damn how long I’ve known you or how close we’ve become. If you voted for Trump, I’m done with you. Sorry, but actions
    have consequences.

    As a straight white male in a solid blue state, I’m 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 America’s ethnic,
    sexual and religious minorities, not to mention people who simply don’t
    share their views. This election will further embolden them. For the
    first time in my 58 years, I’m thinking about getting a gun and learning
    how to use it. Better safe than sorry.

    I’m also concerned that following this defeat, the Democratic Party will shift to the right—exactly as it did after the so-called “Republican Revolution” 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!

    I’m 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 won’t be around to see it.

    America: it was nice while it lasted.

    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.

    Well, I guess the consequences of this election are already being felt.

    A story about Trump voters in Pennsylvania. The owner of a large company
    called a meeting for all his employees. He informed them that they won't
    be getting their Christmas bonuses this year. He explained that the
    company has to buy a year's worth of product before the Trump's tariffs
    hit in January.

    They said they thought the tariffs were paid by the foreign companies.
    He then explained to his employees that the tariffs are paid by the
    American companies who import these foreign goods.

    Sometimes, you get exactly what you vote for.

    Again, WHY would you congratulate that asshole?

    Roger could have kept his tradition of congratulating Trump by simply congratulating him sarcastically:

    Congratulations, asshole! You found enough right wing whackos and fooled
    enough otherwise normal voters to win a totally undeserved election. But
    you might live to regret it, emphasis on the word lived.

    The act that you've always done it before is not a reason to do it. It's
    just a statement about the past. I can even accept you congratulating
    him in 2016, before we knew what we were getting. But now that we know
    we are getting a sexually assaulting convicted felon who started an insurrection and supports Nazi groups and commits obstruction by hiding
    secret documents that he stole, and on and on and on, he deserves
    nothing except scorn and ridicule and jail.

    I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

    So anything that you've done on a regular basis in the past
    automatically has to continue to be done no matter what the
    circumstances are?

    Suppose the next president after Trump drops a nuclear bomb on your
    country. If he then wins reelection a couple of years later, would you congratulate him?

    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.

    Thank you for your kind permission but if you don't mind I'll decide
    what boxes I stay in or leave.And I'll definitely decide what stance or
    opinion I take on any subject on here.
