Let’s face it folks – if you’ve gotta live in a country going through chaos, you might as well have a bit of fun on the way down. One of the few things that perks me up each morning is seeing headlines like “Trump Supporters Worried About Losing Their Federal Jobs” or “Republican Voters Worried They Might Not Get Their Social Security Checks”. Well folks, when Trump was promising chaos in the run-up to the election, this is what he was talking about. All these federal departments getting turned over and eviscerated is exactly what he said he’d do. Supposedly, this is what you all wanted!

If you’re a multi-millionaire and you voted for Trump, I get it. It seems like a really good idea. If you’re working class, or even crazier, dependent on government aid, and you voted for Trump, holy crap… you were swindled.

I hope eventually our country gets back on the track to being sane. It’s a shame that it’s much, much, much easier to tear down things than it is to create them. I look forward to the mid-terms and I hope the Democrats get their heads out of their asses, because we could really use the help. In the meantime, I’ll be drinking up all those delicious “Trump supporter tears” and not feeling bad at all.

    I may be in the minority here, but I didn’t think Kamala was THAT unpopular. I still have my suspicions that the elections have massive voter fraud happening. For her to not win ANY of the toss-up states is…interesting to say the least.

    We need some new voter integrity protections put into place. Yeah yeah, I get that mentioning that is unpopular with dems, as it’s often equated with voter suppression - but last election cycle we had one black woman who had her voting rights restored get put through the legal wringer on if she was allowed to vote or not; meanwhile I had white folks in The Villages (FL), casting votes for dead people, get caught, and basically nothing happened to them. (Fines, Community Service, no jail time)

      Don’t start that shit. We’re better than that.

      The facts are she lost and that’s that.

      At this point you regroup and hope he does a great job in office and that we all benefit

        Better than WHAT? Why is voting integrity something that you people often have such an issue with? Why can’t we use an open source, blockchain verified ledger system that is immutable and unchangeable so that we retain anonymity, and further increase verifiability? Our voting systems shouldn’t be closed-source secretive software controlled by a few elites – The best security is often done in the open, so that everyone can work their best to ensure that it’s secure.

        I’m not talking about voterID or any of that bullshit, I’m talking back-end stuff; and the problem that dominion have had with their voting machines, and the fact that nearly every state that used to be a toss-up (Florida, etc) now uses a different vendor than northern states.
