I'm stunned and deeply saddened by the news today.
A majority of Americans have elected a lying, cheating, racist, business-bankrupting, fraud-committing, sexually-assaulting, convicted criminal to be POTUS...again.
America knows exactly who he is, and picked him anyway. 1/
@Wavefoormation @AlbertaBadAss @pau02370036@rabbitseason17 @agentselfNSA @teameffujoe Trump was found liable in civil court for committing the same type of sexual assault that he bragged about in the "grab 'em by the pussy" recording. The civil trial judge clarified that it was, in fact, rape. You're defending a rapist. Repugnant.
@_nomadic_soul I'm still here, for now, but will be spending more time in places with a more positive/peaceful atmosphere. The toxicity of this place is draining, and I find myself in a negative mood in the real world far too often.
@MikeBroderick33 @RepJackKimble Currently, Kimble is leading in CA-54 with 193% of the vote, but more boxes and bags of ballots keep showing up. The counting continues...
@Secludedjm@smalls2672@FatherChadBack What happens in the US affects more than just the US. I have friends in Australia, UK, France, and Spain. This election cycle, I was made very aware of just how much other countries follow US elections, and the opinions are very strong.
@KathleenTNTR @ThePeterPaige @tomcolicchio The 2024 election does nothing to prove or disprove who is delusional, only which side was better at selling their product. We learned that Trump's message of fear, anger, and division connected with a lot of people.
@KathleenTNTR@tomcolicchio Both parties are neck-deep in big money. This isn't anything new, and a quick Google search will provide names of the billionaires - on both sides - who have made huge contributions. One big difference is that the GOP candidate is actually one of the billionaires.
@wm98636@highbrow_nobrow Trump has a self-admitted history of sexual assault. What Trump was found liable by a jury to have done in the E Jean Carroll case is consistent with what he described in the "grab 'em by the pussy" recording. The judge clarified that it was rape. From the court docs...
@Kei56784Keith @BexWords@VinegarMartini@matthewdmarsden@Julio_Rosas11 My wife works in the health insurance industry (nearly 30 years). It was absolutely the ACA that prohibited insurance companies from denying coverage due to PECs.
@MediumOctane@BexWords@_nomadic_soul Please spend a moment to educate yourself. The jury found him guilty. That equals “convicted”. Even if he’s never sentenced, he’s still convicted. The only thing that changes it would be if the verdict is overturned.
@AlbertaBadAss @Bosh_Bish_Bash @agentselfNSA @teameffujoe Don’t forget, Trump’s lawyers were involved in the selection of that particular group of kangaroos.
@thefakejackdor1 @agentselfNSA CA and NY also contribute the most to the Fed.
This analysis ranks NY 30th and CA 49th in Fed dependency (1st = most dependent)…

@thefakejackdor1 @agentselfNSA I’ve dug into multiple sources on this, and they all say the same thing. CA and NY receive the most $ in Fed funding due to population. CA is among the lowest in Fed funds as a % of budget. NY is higher, but still below the national average.
@ever_e_mann@DefiyantlyFree FALSE!
I know you’re dumb, so I’ll explain clearly (but there will be math).
74M votes for Trump. 161M eligible voters.
74/161 =0.46 (46%)
46% is not a majority of eligible voters. Trump got a majority of voters who cast a vote for POTUS. These are not the same thing.
Some think if they stop gender affirming care we just won’t be trans anymore, that’s not how it’ll work. Families of trans people will be burying their loved ones, not celebrating they’re not trans anymore. #Translivesmatter
