USA - 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris (pt II)

I will be keen to watch the handover on J6 I think, Will the Bidens attend unlike Trump? Will the crowd be the biggest in history, Will there be a magical Mystery victory tour and rallies like 2016, Will he reduce his golf games and stop heading North in the Summer or home to Fl in the winter...

I worked in homelessness support so no

Then hooray. I hope it turns out better

Given Musk was born in South Africa he can't become president.

Given Elon Musk has the personality and charisma of an avocado he can't become president.

 

[Chief]

Trump never said that.

Is there a site that shows number of uncounted votes?

Trump has a real good shot at changing the 22nd ammendment of the constitution, which limits the presidential term to 2.
There are two ways of starting it
1) Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate
2) by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures
( all previous Amendments have been initiated by the congress)

Now that the republicans control the senate and the house, they only need to flip small portion of the democrats to initiate the process.


From there , long story short, a proposed amendment of the Constitution is sent to all 50 state legislatures. In order for it to pass, it has to be ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).

It is looking like Trump has claimed 30 out of the 50 states . It is not a stretch to believe that he will think he has the ability convince 8 other states to agree to an ammendment change.

I will not be surprised if his camp has already mapped it out.

I don't understand how Kamala could lose. How could people vote Trump when Kamala had so many celebrities endorse her? She basically had the entire Diddy party celebrity list endorese her, as well as all of mainsteam media and also outspent the republican campaign 3:1. How did this happen?

I thought when Jimmy Kimmel begged on TV for people to vote for Harris like his freedom depended on it, it was going to turn the election around for sure.

I just hope his freedom didnt depend on it....

Presidential terms are limited by the Constitution. An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.

If anyone tries to get around it, the armed forces step in.

In short, it ain't happening.

The claim is playing on fear, uncertainty, doubt, much like the hyperbole the he is Hitler incarnate, will start WW3, and he has ended democracy. Nobody outside left wing bubbles believe any of it.

I really hope everything turns out well and the institutions hold.

Probably not gonna word this well, but here goes. Once he’s back in office, if and i say if, he comes out with solid evidence to disprove many of the theories etc about him, or can prove say a weaponisation of the FBI against him (things he has said), how many here will be willing to accept it given they ate up fake documents like the Steele dossier for example? Would some of the avid Trump haters be able to change views on some things?

Now that the republicans control the senate and the house, they only need to flip small portion of the democrats to iniate the process.

Why would Democrats ever agree to this?

He’s been very vocal at changing the terms limit I wouldn’t be shocked like Putin he keeps changing them every four years …well if he lives that long but I think that’s the end game for republicans

If they knew how many there were, they wouldn't be uncounted

Diddy party?

The flight list and the Diddy Party I suspect.

Please... relax. Everything the media has told you for 8 years is wrong. Trump is not a fascist. He is not a despot. He will not be extending his term or removing term limits. Relax.

 

[The Sultan]

Im not particularly articulate, or have any insite…. But , Maybe the Dem should’ve spoken to the average punter rather than putting all their effort into celebrity endorsements, and dumping on trump. Think they greatly underestimated the hurt and pain they’ve gone thru over last 6 years.

Yes some of it was related to the COVID / trump hangover, but votes win elections.

 

[Strange Cat]

Then hooray. I hope it turns out better

The point was that demoralising the vulnerable people in situations that is complex isn’t a thing to be proud of

 

[stefcep]

Stop spreading lies then

 

[captain blood 17]

Uneducated swill reliably vote Republican.

Settle down Hillary. We know it’s been a rough day for you.

 

[carlton_99]

It’s that kind of talk that went against the Democrats. Show some respect for half the population.

Diddy party?

 

[leon123]

Dissatisfied with the result, but its a democratic system, who knows, maybe something positive will result. Dont have high hopes though

 

[Chief]

Honestly **** Americans. They get the government they deserve.

Can't say that I disagree. Don't fully agree but finding it hard to argue against it.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Kamala might actually win the popular vote if she gets most of what's left in California.

Well it’s not like the Dems will storm the capitol …there’s that at least

Again, fantasy nonsense. Anybody spruiking this nonsense, get some help.

You just reminded me.

Merrick Garland needs a slap upside his head.
