Election 2024 - Trump Has Won

MoA, two weeks ago:

My hunch is that Trump will win the election. What policies will follow will largely depend on the people he will select to run the show. He had previously chosen people who were opposing and sabotaging his policies. He lacked the authority and/or will to rein them in. I do not believe that he has learned from it.

It currently looks like Trump has won yesterday's election. The presidency and majorities in the Senate and House will be held by Republicans.

That does not change my policy prediction:

I expect the new president to double down on the anti-Russian project in Ukraine and on support for the genocide the Zionist are committed to finish. The U.S. will continue to be bogged down in Europe and west-Asia. The 'pivot to Asia' to counter China's rise will continue to stall. The economic standing of the U.S. will continue to deteriorate.

This is good news for China, Russia, the BRICS project and those involved in it. As the old world order continues to drag itself down the new one gains time and space to evolve from it.

My hope for Europe is that Trump, being afraid of a real confrontations as he is, will lose the contest with Russia. As Emmanuel Todd had summarized:

It is the outcome of this war that will decide the fate of Europe. If Russia is defeated in Ukraine, European submission to the Americans would be prolonged for a century. If, as I believe, the United States is defeated, NATO will disintegrate and Europe will be left free.

Although I do think that Trump will continue to support the Israeli campaign in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, I'm not at all certain that he wants a war with Iran. And I think that he'll look at the situation in Ukraine and decide it's time to end that fool's errand. Trump should do in Ukraine in 2025 what Lyndon Johnson should have done in Vietnam in 1965; just walk away from the situation. If Ukraine falls, as it will, and the Democrats blame him for "losing Ukraine," Trump can't run again in 2028 and there will be other issues on which the JD Vance campaign will focus.

Thanks for the posting b.


Just heading for bed but wanted to be sure of the result before nodding off.

What does this mean?

It looks like the win is big enough the sore losers will not be blaming us Stein voters for the loss.

It looks like Jill did ok and maybe even good enough to make a difference down the road.

The face of empire as it goes down to the China/Russia axis is going to be that of a patriarchal barbaristic bully which I think fitting and indeed proper. Trumps actions in the process should fuel eons of hatred for patriarchal bullies and end their monotheistic control of our species though the seed of their demise is just being planted.


Where is the list of all Trump's campaign promises?


The shit show continues until it doesn't

Thank you b.

I usually agree with you but I have a rather different take. Trump would not be allowed to take office unless there was an acceptance among the psychopathic but rational elite that the US attempt to dominate Russia has resulted in a severe beating and they need a change of course.

The world has been saved on the edge of the abyss, for now.
Time to clean up, to idiot proof the USA. Fauci, Jack Smith and all of their ilk can conveniently be housed in the empty cells left by the released Jan 6 crowd.
Much cleaning to be done.
Otherwise the world will return to the same destructive path in four years time!
Thank God.

Here's wishing Biden the same treatment he has accorded to legitimate leaders of Pakistan and Peru, amongst other countries whose elected regimes he illegally overthrew. He'll also have to answer (one day) for the dead babies, kids, women and elderly of Palestine, all murdered in a genocide funded and armed by his administration. Not that Trump is expected to do better on that count -- his track record being known to all and sundry.

I think Trump will be good for peace generally. He is not going to poke the bear!
I am more worried about his sympathy for the Jews in charge of Israel.
That to me is the biggest problem, for there are a lot of them behind him.
I just hope that his decency will keep him on the right path.
I hope, I don't know.
My other great hopes are Kennedy and Gabbard. They strike me as decent people.

The deep-state war on Russian Federation to continue - if potus resists, he might be retired - the MIC too powerful and profitable ... problem is that missiles cannot be printed as easily as dollar bills - RF will prevail either way - Europe to get poorer as the US continues to gut it.

Iran locked and loaded.

Trump can't run again in 2028 and there will be other issues on which the JD Vance campaign will focus.

Trump is 78, no way he would be running again in 2028. He may be lucky to be president for all 4 years due to his likely begining dementia.
JD Vance might not be such a bad VP - on the other hand VPs rarely become presidents afterwards. There will be infighting, Trump's last cabinet mostly ended up quitting.

Trump has isolationist tendencies and in contrast to neocons will make concessions to close deals, he cuts losing deals.
Talk fast and loud in simple words, never back down, resort to bluffs - but walk away if things go south.

Woe to those who rely on US promises - mostly the EU who will be the main bagholders. Well, at least this will give lessons to the next generation about unbounded faith and naivete and belief in ideology.

Harris would have been the same kind of war president Hillary would have been - no position besides the will to power, completely dominated by State Department neocons.

NATO, Ukraine and Israel as well as Korea and Taiwan will have to start paying for protection. US will keep investing in wars but through their own bases. There is competition from BRICS in the protection racket now, mob wars ahead. Or, if you will, BRICS is the nicer pimp.

The division of Red/Blue will most likely deepen as red states can go wild on building Gilead now before their voter generation dies.
Blue will respond with more autocratic tactics that will deepen resentment.

Israel still has Kompromat and US support, but for military planners the risk is increasing with each new round. If you have to draw up war plans against Iran, you are talking a few 100k ground troops or B-52 with tactical nuclear. Anything below is not going to win that war. Now it's not just Iran, it's Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran if the lid can be kept on Egypt. When Iran talks to US, promises on Hormuz strait and Saudi refineries can go a long way to decrease Israeli support with a good cover story.
US will be careful to not be too open, just Israel no longer gets a kiss and a cherry on top and they won't have impunity. Now that Gallant is gone, Trump will have to deal with Nutty directly, no love lost between those two. Nutty is too blind to see he already overstepped some red lines.

I would wager Iraq will through willful negligence, armed popular resistance movements, IED attacks, start turning up the heat on US bases. Iran will support this, if only to reduce attacks from Israel, same idea for Syria. This will engender new friendships for Iran, who can buy a lot of goodwill right now and do a lot of good for the Sunni/Shia divide if they want to.

Guess we'll see who gets burnt fingers next.

Every single Biden-Harris appointee needs to security escorted out of their DC offices on 1/20/25, no exceptions.

One of the big mistakes made in DJT first term was allowing Obama holdovers to continue to hold positions, that was a huge mistake. These holdovers actually attempted a coup in the Russia gate fiasco.

All JCOS officers also need to be fired asap. The Milley group of neo con stooge general need be released.

All US Attorneys need to be immediately fired.

Jack Smith need to be fired and arrested for treason.

FBI Director Chris Wray, who deliberately covered up for the Biden Crime family needs to fired. He basically hide the Hunter laptop, and is now in the process of arresting political opposition figures all over the country. The FBI needs to broken up. The are now really the American Stasi.

Like JFK had planned, the CIA deep state needs to be broken up in detail. Its a clear threat to the American Republic. Its hip deep in the Ukrainian Nazi disaster. It formulated the Maidan coup.

Unfortunately the opposite is true. Trump is being installed because he more convincingly proclaimed that under his administration the US will go 100% all in on the Zionist project to ethnically cleanse all of Palestine and obliterate Iran.

Just where does Trump have leverage over Russia that isn’t already in play? Zilch. Nada.
Just where does Trump have the ability to support Israeli in ways that are not already employed? Where? What? I don’t see it.

The reality is that Russia has already won in Ukraine; the only question is how big that win will be. My prediction is that Trump will do what he can to make Ukraine a non-issue: turn the page and leave it to its fate: a satellite of Russia if not fully re-incorporated into it.

The reality is that Israel has already lost both escalation dominance and economic integrity. What is Trump going to do to change that? Drop nuclear bombs? Throw more money and weapons at Israel? Why would anybody think those options are going to change the basic realities: Israel (and the U.S.) have lost escalation dominance, not only to Iran, but to Hezbollah and the Houthis. It looks like they may have actually even lost it to Hamas in Gaza. More money will not change the deep and growing fractures within Israeli society. More weapons? The U.S. doesn’t have the capacity to manufacture great quantities of air defense systems, and even if it did, they are proving ineffective against Houthi, Hezbollah, and Iranian drones. And that does not even consider the insane relative costs of air defense missiles vs. the cost of drones.

The only area of foreign policy where I see Trump making a significant difference is toward China. He wants to raise tariffs. That looks to me slated to backfire spectacularly, as that will raise the cost of almost everything Wal-Mart sells. You don’t Make America Great Again by impoverishing Main Street.

At some point the voter fraud that was used in 2020 was called off.

It must have been due to the high early voter turnout and registrations that indicated a massive turnout.
As a have pointed out in previous thread it is very hard to hide fraud if there is a large real voter turnout because the fraud stands out like a sore thumb or a daylight robbery.

I’d like to see the final absolute numbers on registration, voters in person and postal voters per state/constituency compared to 2020 and 2016 and older if available.

Considering he also bragged that he's the real one who killed NS, Trumpy will be attacking Russia and the other Brics losers just like the first time. Do I have to remind you about his plans to use small nukes instead of regular bombs? Too bad Russia wasn't able to liberate the referendum regions and can't even fix Kursk, the chances of getting them with a radioactive flavor are close to maximum.

You make it sound like it was his fault. He started with his own team but down the road the threat of impeachment forced him to accept teams formed by the Republican party. He either accepted those saboteurs or he was impeached by having a number of Republicans siding with Dems in the Senate.

As Emmanuel Todd had summarized:

It is the outcome of this war that will decide the fate of Europe. If Russia is defeated in Ukraine, European submission to the Americans would be prolonged for a century. If, as I believe, the United States is defeated, NATO will disintegrate and Europe will be left free.

Why? How? When Russia's victory becomes impossible to deny, NATO will have been stopped in its expansion. There is no inevitable connection between (a) being stopped in expansion and (b) disintegration. Todd is just exaggerating. NATO will continue well into the future after Russia's victory in the Ukraines.

Most of y’all have got it wrong.

Assuming the Deep State fails in preventing DJT inauguration, Americans will demand closed borders, mass deportations of illegals, and clean out of education system and federal law enforcement. Sure, the DS will resist, but if they don’t cave, it will only be worse for them at the mid-terms.

DJT is no dummy, and the only way Zionist Entity continues to exist is if they give up on all fronts. So no big war, because even a dummy knows US has insufficient resources to fight war without going nuclear.

I awake to resounding wails of anguish and the clacking of gnashing teeth from huddled herds of TDS victims. I guess that means Claudia de la Cruz didn't win, so my vote was for naught.

Well, at least we now get to enjoy the tormented sobbing of pinhead fools who consume mass quantities of mass media. Will this experience encourage them to break free of their narrative shackles? Doubtful, so we will just have to settle for schadenfreude at their self-inflicted misery.

Harris atm has to win all the seats left to win by a thin margin. The electoral college could still vote against their constituants wishes. While trump appears to have smashed it there is still time for shenanigans. Msm is already droning on about how trump will ruin america. Same as it ever was.

Associated Press is calling it. Trump has won. I agree with B that Trump will probably walkaway from Ukraine. Whether that means negotiating a ceasefire/surrender, or just permanently suspending US aid to Ukraine remains to be seen. Ditto Israel and Gaza, but I don't think America is going to get to decide what happens there either way, anyway.

DunGroanin @41: "At some point the voter fraud that was used in 2020 was called off."

What? No freeze of the tally late in the evening? No resumption at oh-dark-hundred with almost all of the remaining votes going to the Establishment pick? I'm stunned! Stunned, I say!

I wonder if too many people were expecting that this time and so stayed up late and were watching the vote counters too closely.

Trump will say to Putin, "Vladimir, make an agreement with the Ukrainians that they can live with, otherwise I'll keep arming and financing the Ukrainian war party."

We must not forget that despite Russia's military superiority, Russians still die or are wounded every day in this war.

I'm surprised he actually pulled it off. Doesn't Kamala have to properly concede in order for him to have "won", and as long as she doesn't do that - and let's be honest, she not only won't, she has orders not to, similar to Ukraine or Israel not being allowed to lose either - then she's technically still in it?

Although seeing that she cancelled all her live appearances and "went to bed" at like midnight EST was not a good look at all.

Trump: "I'm not going to start wars, I'm going to stop wars."

A promise after he has already won? Not a campaign promise? Maybe he means it. I doubt he can pull that off, but if he does it will be "yuuuge". I wonder how the TDS people would wrap the remnants of their exploded skulls around that?

Kremlin Press Release:
"No plan for Putin to congratulate Trump - and US still unfriendly to Russia.

"The Kremlin has acknowledged Donald Trump's apparent victory but says it is not aware of any plan by Vladimir Putin to congratulate him.

"Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov also said the US remained an unfriendly country towards Russia."
-------

Ooooh, what a great way to deflate Donny's big ego by Putin to ignore his victory. Now the real brinkmanship begins, more than hollow election rhetoric. VVP is gunna crucify Trump next meeting or phone call. Putin now has Zelensky right where he wants him -- a defeated, washed up, non-leader with no big boy friends, living in fear of his own people and his own nazis and his next door neighbour.

Trump and NATO will all abandon him now, even if their talk remains all buddy support ... for a while.

Trump is a tactical babe in the woods compared to Putin. Trump's military advisors will all be plotting a sensible withdrawal from Ukraine for him. He'll handle the money and the PR, they'll lock up the toys. So, paired with his own promises of stopping the war, Kiev is a cooked goose.

"They already gave them 100%.
It will be exactly the same only now we won't get the insufferable hypocrisy of the libss pretending to care about 'minimizing civilian casualties' while sending them all the arms to kill them."

Unlike the Democrats, Trump and Kushner will have zero ambivalence on account of friction with their base or any other reason. The police will be fully unleashed against protestors. The censorship regime will zero in more aggressively than ever in accord with AIPAC's dictates. We'll have the end of the slightest pretense that the US is trying to restrain the Zionists. The threshold where the US will take the plunge and fully go to war with Iran will come much closer.

"And 'obliterate' Iran?
Pretentious americans overrating their abilities as usual.

He didn't try it before and they won't let him now.
The US can't handle a half-decent opponent."

The Zionists hadn't fully taken the plunge to total war and genocide. Now they have, their number one intermediate goal is to induce the US to go to war with Iran, and they will not only "let him" but insist upon it. Trump has fully identified himself with this cause and is gung ho to go. The US will be fully at war within a year.

Of course, short of nuking Iran to a sheet of glass the US can't win a war against them (nor would nuking them really be a win for the US anyway, just self-destruction by other means), but yes they certainly think they can, and they will try to do so.

All this would happen eventually with a Harris administration as well, but the Zionists decided Trump will be more willing, more speedy, more aggressive, so they worked to install him. Otherwise they would've stood by and let the Democrats steal the election again.

Most obvious reason for no fraud, or more precisely not going for obvious fraud to anyone paying attention, was the situation in 2024 is much different than 2020. No Covid/Lockdowns/Summer of Love stuff. Even filing perfectly legitimate legal challenges were considered treason and racism and the elite class was unified in carrying forward the Ukraine and Israel projects they had in the works for decades. The fruits of those have been bad, so some are defecting. Also, faith in US elections was severely damaged by 2020, additional rounds while supporting Gaza Genocide/Ethnic cleansing and the Ukrainians would make the typical Western lecturing difficult at best.

Russia winning by better Diplomacy?
Sergei Prokopyev, russian kosmonaut/astronaut involved in collaboration with both NASA and the European organisation
has made a statement about the US.
https://tass.com/science/1867383
5 Nov, 16:13
"Americans were on the Moon but footage may have been filmed in advance — Russian cosmonaut
Sergey Prokopyev pointed out that the fact that US astronauts did land on the Moon "is confirmed by automatic probes and cannot be subjected to doubt"

MOSCOW, November 5. /TASS/. The US astronauts' mission to the Moon certainly took place, but the video footage shown to the global audience might have been filmed beforehand, Russian cosmonaut Sergey Prokopyev told an audience at the educational marathon "Knowledge. The First."

Prokopyev acknowledged that some skeptics questioned the authenticity of the US mission to the Moon, but emphasized that his senior colleagues in the Russian space industry confirm its occurrence.

"Some say: 'They probably filmed it in a pavilion.' This is a possibility, perhaps, because in the US there is a firm rule: you have to report to the taxpayers somehow. How does one do this? In those days, there were no GoPro cameras. It was hard enough to make a full-length movie like the one they ended up with. Most likely, it was shot in a pavilion so that people would think the scenes were really taking place on the Moon," Prokopyev explained."

If He means the Lunar Orbiter pictures from 2011 taken from 24000 meters altitude with a 5cm objective they were an obvious fake photoshop job.
..
Actually it would be an insult to Photoshop to describe it like that.
..
In reality I believe the US didnt want to make an authentic fake.

If they had they could have used software to construct a smooth rendering, editing every pixel making it impossible to notice any fakery.
..
But they just pasted it crudely on the background picture not bothering to edit the glaring mismatch.
..
When I mentioned there were inauthentic whitish frames around the pictures those particular fakes vanished from the web and other fakeries returned now with dark and still inauthentic frames around the pasted pieces.
..
I havent looked for how it turned out later since I believe the US authorities wanted it to fail in the eyes of expert observers.

My election watch on the web didn’t happen as my data ran out on my phone!
Just as I was settling down to catch up on a few sites to follow- about 9 pm U.K. time.

As I’m travelling and staying somewhere without Wi-Fi - for the first time in years I came across a total vacuum of web connectivity, WhatsApp, and not even a tv in the temporary abode! Strange feeling. Read a book for hour or so , another strange feeling.. then postered around to see if there was an old fashioned radio somewhere and finally found one in a drawer which had a plug attached and worked! That was around midnight UK time.

i managed to tune into a bbc all night election coverage channel - very pro Dem, anti Trump, their roving reporters hanging out with Dems mostly.
With the first announcements showing the actual drop in dem voter percentage compared to Bidens they should have thrown in the towel of hope.
But the cope went on, as I drifted in and out of sleep till they heard that Kamala would not turn up at Browns University.

That was when they had to acknowledge to us listeners, their propaganda pro wars Deepstate mockingbird stooges goose was cooked.
Just as 5.30 am was approaching their senior spooky journo man got Vance on I think and tried to get a rise out him by pushing the Trump as convicted felon hating Latinos and women.. as Vance was smoothly replying along the lines of ‘you can see tens of millions had voted for trump for real reasons. Many had voted first time because a politician promised to deal with their issues…’ - the broadcast was crashed by a musical song !

Lol. I thought that’s a bit rough for some editor to stop us hearing that!
I waited for it to come back and when the Latino song finished was surprised that a Welsh speaker started up!

Yup overnight it had joined the bbc coverage and at 5.30 without notice it had transferred back. So I retuned and found the bbc main channel - just as they too went back to local U.K. news to set the days agenda as the flagship daily propaganda program kicked off.

Hey they suddenly gushed was great news! as the football results were great last night .. the Opium of the masses to divert attention, while they try and figure what the spin will be.

Anyway I drifted off after an early tea and toast to wake up and get a data boost and check what’s happened - a tired DJT gamely squeaking some victory speech, looking like he needs several hours to recoup. Well done sir and his team.

And our squeaky great knight dope PM starmztrooper, apparently the first to congratulate Trump on the win! This is after having sent his ziofascist apparatchiks to support the Harris camp! Playing immediately the Special Relationship card. Lol.

What next? As I pointed out in the last thread there were only two potus’ of any independent mind who cared for their Peoples and World Peace above the global fascist conquest of the ages since WW2. Both only got to serve a term and were stopped from a second term. By hook or crook . JFK and Nixon.

Joining them through such an establishment and deepstate effort to displace was DJT. He had won in 2016, when he was supposed to be the pantomime villain to make it easy for Killary to stroll in and set the world on fire as the first women mass murderess ever.

The other one termers were the deepstate placeholder.
LBJ, Ford, Carter and Bush Snr.(who had done 2terms as the Raygun Vice and ex CIA chief running the whitehouse or the gipper - his job was to keep Dukakis out and set up the cia golden couple next). They are joined now by the mentally degraded Biden who couldn’t hide his dementia as well as Raygun , and was just a mouthpiece for Obama and Killary and the usual suspects.

Whether The Donald Duckhair Drumpff gets to serve out his full term is upto his personal bodyguards - he has made a lot of promises to the voters and he better not piss them off.

If the extermination or Palestinians continues and the Ziofascist imperial apartheid colony is encouraged instead of being disbanded - there are millions at home who will have legitimate cause to complain now.

As the Ukropian Nazio project falls flat on its face with a million dead or crippled including the Russians having had to suffer yet again with dead patriots against more proxy Nazis - there will be crazed naziods who will blame him.

If he doesn’t retain control over the West Asia - ‘MiddleEast’ becoming a word that will be sent to the xenophobic skeleton cupboard like the N word - and push against the SCO guaranteed security for the Multipolar and BRI for the Old Banker Dynasties demanding war - these Old Bastards will want their pound of his flesh and arrange some homemade death for him and his.

He will have to avoid the Sanctions boomerang that is heading our way if we don’t sharply make peace.

He has a chance to make an economic Union with that new world order and oversee the end of the $ as the worlds reserve currency and finally dump the old global robber barons shapeshifted through history.

If he does all that in the next 1000 days - that’s how long the SMO is approaching now btw - he will become the greatest US President and be remembered as a peacemaker unifier of humanity along with Xi and Putin.

All he has to do is throw off centuries of the dynastic ziofascists owned and backed AngloEuropean imperilism. Which yes includes the USA.

Then all will be well!

I’ll cross my fingers but won’t hold my breath - the killing must stop fast - not just Ukraine and Levant but across all the innocents in Africa and South America and Asia and Pacific.
He must name the guilty and their crimes. They must be held to account not necessarily by death penalty - but certainly by decimation of their power and wealth.

Let’s see how long the Dream Lasts this time and if he has enough sense and will power to do the right thing.

thats the issue. the "ukrainians" cannot live with any peace. the ukrainians on the other hand, can. but, for that they have to get rid of the "ukrainians" on their own volition, and that means they have to get rid of the nato- and eu-backed nazis currently holding on to power.

and then they have to revert every single law and decision the "ukrainians" put in force that discriminates against religion, ethnicity and heritage. only then can the ukraine be at peace once again.

but as long as those "ukrainians" of eu-nazi heritage remain in that country, ordinary ukrainians will have a hard time reaching any peace.

if don trump "demands" that uncle vova makes peace, it will be a hollow peace that nobody wants. not the russians, not the ukrainians, and most certainly not the "ukrainians".

no. trump has nothing to give here. this has to be finished by russia and true ukrainians, not that nato- and eu-backed nazi scum.

An interesting observation about American morality as evidenced in the result.

All the kerfuffle about Trump's "crimes", diligently cooked up and prosecuted by the Dems over several years, have meant little to nothing in yesterday's vote. Just like Clinton and his naughty acts, voters, in the end, didn't carry it to the polls. Interesting, that all such shit thrown in trying to bring either of them down did not stick.

waynorinorway @75: "Trump's lame-duck status..."

I am confused. What do you mean by "lame duck"?

I suppose I am a little old fashioned, but I always thought "lame duck" referred to a President serving his term while the Senate and Congress were controlled by the opposition, but as far as I can see the Republicans swept both chambers. Given that Trump's win looks to be in "landslide" territory, Senators and Congresscritters will be under pressure to acknowledge that Trump has been given a mandate by the voters and not sandbag and sabotage his program so much or risk public ire.

Trump Is Bad for Jews and Bad for Israel


On Tuesday, the votes of an estimated 160 million Americans will decide between presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Their choice will chart the course of the next four years for the U.S. itself, but will also have enormous consequences for a Middle East at war. For Israel's sake, it is critical that Trump loses the race to the White House.

At least we won't have to listen to the endless stories of election fraud that contain zero evidence in support.

I believe the Trump tax breaks for the wealthy were only for 10 years. They will be up for renewal (or expire). They were able to make the Bush tax breaks for the wealthy permanent under Obama but it will be a lot easier this time with Trump over Harris.

Oh no! such a huge change from the Biden regime. I'm sure the Palestinians will feel the difference.

And again, the US doesn't have the balls to take on Iran.
They will do a lot for their genocider friends but they can not sell a war to the public where they will have massive casualties.

Also, did you not pay attention to the little missile back and forth only recently?

Result: Iran showed dominance and Israel got a dose of reality, running tail between legs and glad it was over.

Even if your imagination comes true and they can send the US to war, Israel itself will be first to be wiped off the map.
They can't even handle the multiple fronts they have going on now.

Same for the US. NATO paper tiger that can't get ukraine to win and can't follow Russia in weapons production or technology is going to take on another country?

Not necessarily true. History shows that the Congress does not automatically rubber stamp Executive Orders, even when the majority are members of the same Political Party as the President. Congressman/women are not under any obligation to follow Party demands in the same way as in Australia or Britain. Members of the Congress are more indebted to the money that elect them than to the Party.
