    I mean he is going to win, right? What, Biden is going to beat him? In two years Biden is going to need to be plugged in to the modafinil drip to be conversationally lucid for 45 minutes at a time. And even if he does, the courts are all packed with CHUDs excited to deliver the coup de grace to the Biden administration. The timeline is horrifying, we should all brace ourselves for how dumb this is going to get.

        They both have too big of egos for that. Trump doesn’t like DeSantis because A he thinks he’s a lame nerd and B he tries to steal Trump’s spotlight, and DeSantis would never accept the second pick.

        DeSantis is considered a viable back-up plan in the event Trump kicks the bucket or is prevented from running for office for some other reason. Desantis has a lot of money behind him (i.e. institutional power). Trump will never be comfortable having a suitable replacement sitting second in line to the presidency and people with deep pockets who stand to benefit from his demise. Mike Pence was a good choice. He was an uncharasmatic freak and Trump's supporters would sooner kill him than see him take over.

        It might still happen, because the people with the money make the real decisions, but it would be an extremely uneasy relationship.

    anybody remember that 2016 video of mainstream midea going from dismissive to increasingly upset and incredulous as Trump is winning, all set to "Hall of the Mountain King"

        The music makes that perfect. I think I could spend ~50 hours of consorted effort trying to find something better and still not find something 1/3rd as good.

        I just realised what the hidden meaning of this clip is. It only took me 4 years... OK hear me out. The song is called "In the Hall of the Mountain King" But the Mountain King is no man, The song is from Norway and the Mountain King in this Folklore is a Troll.

        The Music is about the King of the Trolls.

        Donald Trump.

        Perfection.

        Man that is pretty funny, it's astounding how goldfish-brained your average lib is that they continue to watch these same sources to try to understand how Trump won

        edit: Nate Silver and Chuck Todd have the most punchable faces in human history. I want to give them each a swirlie

        I'm out of inspiration right now so I'll quote something...

        Imagine you woke up after the 2024 U.S. presidential election and found that Donald Trump had been re-elected and chose Rudy Giuliani for attorney general, Michael Flynn for defense secretary, Steve Bannon for commerce secretary, evangelical leader James Dobson for education secretary, Proud Boys former leader Enrique Tarrio for homeland security head and Marjorie Taylor Greene for the White House spokeswoman.

        I'm reading Thomas Friedman's recent article. Don't ask me why. It begins with that.

        He's aghast at what's happening in Israel and - of course - he thinks the only way to get Americans to understand anything is to directly compare it to America.

          The libs would say "We don't burn people in effigy because it's repugnant..." And then they burn Bernie in effigy.

      Kristi Noem

      "I will get in trouble for saying this but I'm gonna say it - she's an attractive lady. Very attractive. That's good. How can that be bad? Kristi, stand up - stand up..." She's on the podium with him. He's smiling and the gesture he's making towards her seems friendly but it's not a request - it's a command. She stands up.

      "Now, in pageants they turn around. Turn around Kristi. Great name - Kristi - great name." She has no choice - she turns around using slight pageant-y gestures she thinks Trump will approve of. "I toldja. A very attractive lady..."
