Hunter Biden reportedly 'commandeered' the White House after Biden's disastrous debate with Trump:
Lindy Li: "After the debate, Hunter basically commandeered the White House. He sat in on all of the White House top level meetings. We had a former cocaine addict sitting in on the most sensitive meetings of the most consequential and most important government in world history. Does that sit right with you?"
Shawn Ryan: "No."
Li: "Without security clearance mind you. That's basically who was running the show.
Hunter basically batten down the hatches after the debate to make sure his father would only receive intel he pre-approved."
The Biden administration makes a lot more sense if you view it through the prism of 'The brains of the operation was on crack'

This is MAGA country. You're just living in it.
As of writing, the election isn't over yet. While Trump has won, there are still states yet to be counted - but it would take a miracle to alter the map. MAGA has won the hardest it has ever won since being established. More EVs then 2016, the popular vote, Senate seats flipped, and likely the House is staying red. After needing a lucky break from Comey in 2016, getting crushed by a Blue Wave in 2018, losing in 2020 and the Red Drizzle in 2022 that saw the Dems gain in the Senate, Trump has finally achieved a total victory. America looked at what Trump offered, and it collectively decided that Trump had the stuff. For this little longpost, I want to first observe why I think Trump beat Harris - what Trump did right, what Harris did wrong, then analyse the results of this crushing victory.
The Campaign Trail
Trump's campaign, by most standard metrics, has been butt and fries . He had far less money then Harris
, even with Musk's
backing, a much worse ground game and was always held in a lower personal estimation then Harris. He was generally agreed to have lost the debates
, and his surrogates Vance and Musk are some of the few men to be less liked than Trump
. And christ, Vance deserves his own section discussing why he was such an awful choice - Rubio
and especially Burgum
would have been far better choices. But he was clearly doing something right, as can bee seen by his tremendous margin of victory. I believe his strengths can be tied to 5 big things;
1. The media game
Be it going on livestreams with Zoomer dipshits or going on podcasts, Trump was tremendously cunning about his media outreach. He was sure to stick to mostly friendly interviewers, only attending one neutral to hostile interview with Vance, and cashed in on the good will of the various dipshits to earn credibility to a mostly untapped demographic to win the election.
Vance proved himself a capable campaigner on this front as well. While Trump was fricking with Adin Ross, it was Vance that'd be on TV and getting into details with interviewers. Vance's approval rating was the lowest in the entire race, and he was a constant punching bag for basically anyone with eyes and ears - but this actually worked in his favour, I believe. When the voter hears about this sick freak that fricks couches and wants battered wives to stay in abusive marriages, and sees a fairly articulate and affable conservative, Vance sprints over and leaps over a bar set in heck. Perhaps they don't like Vance, but they don't loathe him like they may have expected too.
He's still r-slurred btw
2. Constant association with policy
This is a slightly esoteric one. It's not the policy itself, but the fact he was constantly addressing policy gave him a real sense of legitimacy. Be it his 20% tariffs on everything, planned deportations, states rights on abortion, his constant rejection of Project 2025 and No-Taxes-On-Tips - the actual policy doesn't matter, voters simply felt comfortable with a man discussing issues. I want to go a bit deeper into this when I talk about Harris' weaknesses, but the short version is that Trump isn't the "Frick You" protest vote he was in 2016. He's considered a legitimate politician, and the policy discussions enhanced this image.
3. Memories of 2018
Trump's greatest strength was long considered to be his status as an outsider, but the problem with that is that you can't be an outsider after you win and govern like a pretty normal Republican - he didn't really drain the swamp, he cut taxes and failed to end Obamacare. However - times were decent in 2018. Prices were low, Afghanistan was less a current occupation and more a memory, and the rest of the world seemed at peace. The Trump Presidency was many years ago - what's remembered, it seems, is that the President made mean tweets while times were good and Joe Biden was a nice r-slur that fricked everything up.
In essence, the outsider's new strength is his status as an experienced insider.
4. RFK Jr and the nutjobs
But you can never forget your roots. Kennedy Junior's Quixotic adventure ended with him becoming one Trump's top guys, being given some kind of Health job in the future Trump administration, did a lot to rebuild bridges with Trump's insane person base. Now, they always made up Trump's base, but for those disillusioned with Trump following his presidency, Kennedy throws them a lifeline. Tulsi Gabbard does something similar, to a lesser degree.
5. Having a weak opposition.
Why Kamala lost
Because Joe Biden is unpopular.
There are other reasons I'll get into, but that's the main one. She couldn't define herself as an agent of change, and that killed her stone dead. Joe Biden is associated with high prices and global instability, and as his Vice-President she was linked inexorably to that. No election is ever decided by a single event, but if it was, then it was this..
Definition was Ha-Ha Harris' problem in general. She never stuck to her guns on anything except abortion. She's the Democratic warrior fighting to ensure "We're not going back!" while promising to put a Republican in her cabinet, she loves policing and was prosecutor but don't worry she supports reform, she wants to crackdown on the border but in a progressive way unlike mean old Trump - it was just a mess of a talking out of both sides of her mouth. The consequences were simple - progressives were depressed by her flip flopping from her 2020 stances, while Independents she was courting were turned off by her flip flopping without an actual plan, and the conservatives she was courting by touting that fricking Cheney endorsement were worried about her 2020 stances.
Her lack of commitment meant that she was very easy to paint. Dropping Joe for Kammie could have been more than swapping an r-slur for a less r-slurred r-slur, but the Republican's admirable messaging discipline (they managed to go from President Biden's inflation to Vice-President Harris' inflation very smoothly) and her lack of concrete positions let the Republicans paint her as anything they liked.
Her Vice-Presdential pick was perfect - Walz remained the most popular person in the race, and honestly he was underutilised. He's fine giving speeches, but if Harris was refusing to give interviews, then it should have been Walz. Maybe picking Shapiro could have saved Pennsylvania, but even if it did, that still doesn't get her past 270 while pissing off other states even more.
As for the Gaza shit in general - to the degree it mattered, it ties back to Joe Biden. The average voter vaguely supports Israel, but isn't that invested in the war. The war is like Afghanistan - just another example of Biden causing problems where there were none before. The specifics don't matter. Not at all, as I'll get into later.
The question emerges from this - could Harris win? Was Trump's victory certain? The answer may surprise you.
The Results
The results are bad for Harris. She's the first candidate to lost the popular vote since John Kerry in 2004, who was the first to lost the popular vote since Dukakis in 1988 - and unlike Kerry, Kammie doesn't have an excuse like 9/11 to justify her piss poor results. The main reason Harris lost the popular vote are her poor results in safe blue areas. For comparison;
Biden won New Jersey by 57%, Harris won it by 51%
Biden won Illinois by 57%, Harris won it 53%
Biden won California by 63%, Harris won it by 57%
Biden won New York by 60%, and Harris won it by 55%
And despite what leftists hope , this can't be tied to Jill Stein
and the Greens
. Of the above mentioned states, Stein was only on the ballot in California and New Jersey, and she didn't do so well in the states that she managed to frick up her margins. While the precise results are being counted, looking at the key swing states;
The difference of votes between Trump and Harris in Pennsylvania are 130,487, Stein won 33,544 votes
The difference of votes between Trump and Harris in Georgia are 130,487, Stein won 18,162 votes (which means she came in 4th, after Chase Oliver)
The difference of votes between Trump and Harris in North Carolina are 130,487, Stein won 24,289 votes
The difference of votes between Trump and Harris in Wisconsin are 29,634, Stein won 12,266 votes and came in 4th after RFK Jr
Even in Michigan, Stein's best state, the difference is 81,750 and Stein only got 44,642 votes.
The difference of votes between Trump and Harris in Arizona are still being counted, and has technically not been called for Trump, but as of now Stein is also behind Oliver there.
These results are a horror story. Harris is losing popularity in her safest spots, the left didn't cost her anything - the American people just liked Donald Trump and his platform a lot more. It looks like a devastating defeat for Harris at first glance... but what if, for fun, we add just 2% to Harris, in every state. Just a small upgrade. How does she do?
A measly 2% does not change the shocking collapse in safe areas. But it does massively alter the electoral college - Harris actually wins with just a 2% change, while still in all likelihood losing the popular vote. Despite the seeming dominance Trump's victory has presented, the coalition he's built is a bizarrely fragile one. It's difficult to see this coalition surviving social media and 24 hours news cycles... but that's J.D Vance's problem.

So I fricked up and booked my hotel for the same Friday in May instead of tonight. I still got a room, but it's going to be $800/night instead of $350/night like I'd planned. That really sucks.

Not sure how many people follow the rationalist types but you probably have heard of or read stuff from Aella, a strangely neurodivergent self-described "whorelord" who loves using big data to do things like share her orgy planning performance.

I haven't gotten that much into it but looks like the homicidal members have a disturbingly common trait. Assigned male at birth, perhaps
Somehow Republicans and Christians are involved
Although this group is based in the bay area (Vallejo mostly, I think) they're associated with murders in PA, VT (including a border patrol officer recently) and faking their deaths to avoid court.

Characters
Hi, I'm Nick Offerman, the not-so-subtle stand-in for Donald Trump. I'm a little expensive these days, so you won't see me again until the end of the film. I'm unambiguously evil, and that's about all the writers could trust you with.
We're the most boring fricking characters ever put to film. I literally skipped all the scenes where these two have heart-to-hearts
ay mang i'm the cool self-insert, I have literally no character development whatsoever nor do I ever drive the plot. I played pablo escobar that one time
Worldbuilding
A civil war in america? Wow, lots to play with here, one can only imagine the vast array of characters, factions and locations you could have, not to mention the deep political commentar-
b-word you thought. There's just one faction called 'Western Forces', that's it, that's all you'll ever know about them. Also they're California and Texas, cos frick you, they famously agree on everything. trust me tho that president is a real bad hombre. Here's a pointless scene of me buying a hat. There's also something called the 'Florida Alliance' which I'll mention once but then forget about despite my being from there.
Oh, you wanted some exposition on how this thing started? That would be a little political sweety, can I interest you in a timewasting scene where we watch two guys snipe an unseen third guy?
Plot
being a journ*list is heroic, brave, and real. We literally never lie or act like cowards. I'll put this gay platitudinous message like a pill into the cheese of barely-passable action scenes in the hopes you'll lap it up. I'm gonna tie these action scenes together with a poorly written string of roadtrip sequences so it seems like a film.
then there's this shitty scene where the characters learn the power of love and friendship in some godforsaken hippie commie
pinko liberal
commune, by this point the nausea had reached a fever pitch
oopsie spoilers! The film ends with a brave black QUEEN
shooting the Trump Stand-in. She's all like. "y'all crackers don't season yo chicken" And then pops two in him. Everyone claps, racism is defeated. There is no denouement despite the pseudo-main character, played by a tremendously
post-wall Kirsten Dunst
, dying at the end.
The Good
This guy was awesome. I think he was an allegory for chuds and was supposed to appear kind of stupid or bumbling but was pretty menacing. He shot a and a
There's an unintentionally funny scene at the beginning where a bunch of water priestesses and
lunchtime rowdies are screamin bout dey stimulus cheqs, they're going 'WHERES MUH WADDAH' 'WHERES MAH FOOD' and they all get fricking blown to kingdom come by a
. I think the libshit writers imagined this would be some heavy-hitting 'woah this film is the real deal' moment but it literally played like comedy, stonetoss could've written this scene

Can't get even poorer than Cambodia.
Seems like a pretty racist statement. Are you against relationships that happen between countries? Next you'll say racemixing is bad for society.
Can't tell if this dudes baiting or not
You don't know how to read between the lines. The word poor would associate with economic status or money to break it down for you. Money. Understand? You probably still don't understand. Cambodia is poor in relative to the United States in terms of what their money can get around the world. As another person stated on here, "She speaks USD." There is only one race. It's the human race.
Figures you'd go to Cambodia to find a girl willing to settle for you while also satisfying your racial and ageplay kinks.
It's a popular destination for s*x tourists (particularly ones interested in minors).
Cry more
Anyone who responds with a snarl to concerns about paedophilia is probably a paedophile.
And saying "cry more" in a sub designed for men to sob over how lonely and unattractive they feel is just peak irony.
And saying anything genuine in response to a "cry more" comment is fricking r-slurred.
Not a ton of drama and reddit flame wars are pretty neutered and lame these days but this is one of my favorite subreddits to watch.
