Deep State has been a hideous cancer for decades now. Some of them have been emboldened more, thinking they have immunity due to being "civil service employees"

With the widespread insidious crimes, treason, etc from Brandon's admin, they have been rampant in their crimes.
If new POTUS and new congress investigatr crimes, they can leverage pleas from political appointees to turn out civil servants en masse.

Specific leaders who have tied themselves to the USA- Lula (Brazil), Milei (Argentina), Pashinyan (Armenia) would be left scrambling for foreign support, and w/o it may lose their positions.

Eventually, if nations have credible voting procedures, I imagine that the governments of USA- dependents will eventually come to reflect the view of their people more closely.

The BIG downside will be the scramble for nuclear security. If the USA's nuclear umbrella folds, some EU nations may want to make their own weapons.
Nuclear proliferation might occur.

There would have to be multilateral negotiations. It might be better for all involved if the USA retained it's defensive nuclear umbrella over NATO nations, or even expanded it, which would vastly simplify nuclear agreements.

Iowa Poll: Kamala Harris leapfrogs Donald Trump to take lead near Election Day. Here's how

1/02/iowa-poll-kamala-harris-leads-donald-trump-2024-presidential-race/75354033007/

Leapfrogs! LEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAPFRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOGSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!




SPOILER ALERT: Harris is so far underwater in freakin' Iowa that FiveThirtyEight doesn't even bother calculating an aggregate, probably because nobody is even bothering to poll Iowa.

What was your polling methodology? 100% Democrat voting, college "educated", single women between 35 and 45 who are 50lbs or more overweight with unnaturally colored hair?

Emerson College just gave Trump +9 in Iowa 2 days ago. Stop smoking crack.

And just for comparison's sake, Emerson only gave Trump +1 on Halloween of 2020, and Trump won Iowa in 2020 by +8.2.

Grow up and accept your loss and stop riling up the idiots on the Left right before their world comes crashing down all around them.

Yesterday in the Election thread I predicted that Trump will win anywhere from every battleground state to every BS -2, and that he'd also win the popular vote by more than 1 Million votes.

We'll see what polling looks like on Monday, but I think Trump might actually have a chance at a few of the states it looks like he was going to take from Biden too, including states like Virginia and New Hampshire.

Colossal statues, ‘freedom’ train & patriot games…Inside Trump’s epic plan for Great American Fair

I heard this the other day and got a pretty good laugh out of it. I still don't know if it's true or not.

A year long party, huh?

I don't know if that's a good idea in a great economy. I'm glad that Trump won and we can stop the bleeding, but unless you've got a magic wand that can fix the economy by mid-summer, you can probably forget about this event making a huge splash for more than about a weekend.

It's a point that "left wingers" seem to forget. They think that as long as they espouse "virtuous" causes...R2P, "freedom", "antifa", "saving the world", or what have you .. it excuses any destructive or abusive behavior.
