Will he embark on a Moscow trials spree then ?
He will need bags to put the heads inside.

An honest answer is that we simply do not know for sure how far he is going to take things.

That said, he is wildly volatile and is surrounded by lunatic ultra extremists, plus was backed (billions and billions of dollars spent in dark money, blowing away the overal money spent by the Dems) by completely amoral billionaires.

This is a terrible day for democracy and human rights.

Donald Trump, a convicted felon who has vowed to be “a dictator for only a day,” and who has plans to politicize our Department of Justice, to round up and cage immigrants, and to “protect” women “whether they like it or not,” is now president-elect of the United States.

Trump’s election has already emboldened extreme far-right groups and given new momentum to their campaigns against LGBTQ+ people, migrants, women, and other marginalized communities. His Project 2025 allies like the Heritage Foundation and Alliance Defending Freedom are ready to implement their plans for his administration to gut the civil rights of multiple communities, politicize our federal institutions, and support Trump’s pursuit of abject authoritarianism, while inculcating Christian Nationalism into every aspect of our government and Americans’ lives.

He’s also already given strength to groups like the Proud Boys, White Lives Matter, and militia organizations. Today, we’re tracking their activities and plans to “help” Trump implement his promised policies, which will only create harm.

Here at GPAHE, we have prepared for this possibility and are putting into place intensified efforts to resist a Trump administration’s tactics to expand his power while weakening that of ordinary citizens. We will expose and counter these groups, dedicating resources to mitigate their influence and track their networks. We will make sure that organizations and individuals attempting to strip our rights are confronted at every instance. And we will follow every avenue and employ every strategy to blunt their plans.

We aren’t going to let Trump and his far-right accomplices destroy LGBTQ+ people, women, immigrants, and other marginalized communities. And we will do all that is humanly possible to preserve our precious democracy.

Our mission remains clear: combating authoritarianism and the hate and extremism that fuels it. In the days ahead, we will share more about our response to these extraordinary events and how we will counter the threats they pose to democracy and human rights.

We are very grateful for your commitment to America’s core values of inclusion and freedoms for everyone. And we’re very grateful for your partnership with us and our team at GPAHE.

Sincerely,

Think we will see some outrageous attacks by right wing groups now, physical, and especially on X, as they are emboldened by the Orange Octagenarian. If 'convicted' of violence they will be pardoned

Look at these statistics:
The total number of votes shared between reps and dems was 13 million less than in 2020.
Trump got 800,000 votes less than in 2020.
Harris got a staggering 12 million fewer votes than Biden did in 2020.
In other words 12 million who voted Biden in 2020, in the midst of covid as well, did not turn up !

The 800,000 misssing Trumpies can be seen as a statistical fluctuation or went against the tide and voted for Harris.
But the 12 million did not switch to Trump, they did n't vote (12 million plus rather).
That places the American election result under a new light.
Could it have something to do with the voter challengers ? Dissatisfaction over the economy made them respond with indifference ?
They could n't have been anti-mexican. An anti-mexican goes to the polling station from 6 o' clock in the morning.

Amsterdam taking a nice wrecking ball. Wonder how quickly it’ll resemble Stockholm. Every time I’ve passed through, Moroccans have tried showing the big balls lol. Every time. In groups of course. Dutch are lovely. The people not from the culture who don’t adopt the culture are a shitshow.

That's a huge point, but are you happily letting people adopt the culture ?
Do that first.

millions of votes are stll not counted

California, the big one, for example, is notoriously slow in terms of counting

as in weeks and weeks before they give the final numbers  (so so so often, and it is maddening)

probably the only remotely good thing about the Electoral College is that it usually (the rect BIG exception being 2000 FL, Bush v Gore) avoids a final call (in a very close race in terms of the national popular vote) taking (potentially) weeks and weeks and weeks to determine

Well, Trump may not have fewer votes when the count reaches 100%, but Harris surely registers six million plus fewer. That's an anomaly.

In Amsterdam the Arabs appeared first on the scene defying police orders and making noise.
Then the Israelis provoked then the Arabs attacked.
But it's silly to take the side of any football supporters and those two are at war in any case.

Yes its funny listening to the press conference in Amsterdam as well -defending against questions about the evidence showing the Israeli fans singing about killing Gaza babies, attacking taxi drivers, pulling down flags etc - saying 'we're looking into it' and 'nothing excuses it'. 

Just read Germany have made it a criminal 'anti semitic act' to criticise the Israeli government. WTAF ?

That was an ambush with nearly all of Amsterdam's muslim population involved.
Even if it started with the flag incident the muslims were on the ready and attacked the Israelis.
Maybe they killed some, we don't know yet.

even the US mainstream media (some) is now, finally showing the zios in the stadium and then afterwards chanting death to arabs, death to muslims, etc etc

plus ripping down Palestinian flags before that

my advice to the zios:

my advice to the zios:

How many were they ?
You talk as if they were about to win the champions league and they went there by the thousands, with their wives and children.
It was the Europa cup preliminaries and they went there without any hopes and they lost 5-0
So the few Israeli supporters went there to ... burn Amsterdam.
I 'm not denying they made some noise but it was an organized ambush - antisemitic.
They may have burned a flag at some place but the others were an entire army, kicking and stabbing indiscriminately.
I can blame the colonial past of the Dutch - because in Greece where we have no colonial past such things do not happen and Israeli teams visit and muslims exist.
But it was the Arabs who attacked, in force as well.

WORDS OF A TRUMP SUPPORTER IN QUORA ABOUT THE DEMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the epicentres of leftist extremism is embodied by transgenderism. This activism has done more damage to the left than any other cause. If you keep on repeating how a man can be a woman and then try to annihilate the careers of those who disagree, you are an extremist. The average human does not agree with you.

Leftist radicalism over transgenderism has been one of the major catalysts for the exodus of Latino and Black voters into Trump’s coalition. Ordinary people no matter their skin colour do not agree with the leftist insanity that a man can become a woman. The left kept championing this lunacy and it has finally obliterated their political image.

lmost nobody thinks men should play in women’s sports just because they think they’re a woman. Very few people think male prisoners should ever go to female prisons. Almost nobody wants schools teaching about transgenderism and hiding information about children from parents. Virtually nobody thinks its appropriate to have graphic books being distributed in schools.

If anyone has watched online school board meetings, parents from all different ethnic and racial groups have been enraged by this transgender radicalism. They view it as objectively false and dangerous, brainwashing their children into potentially life-changing ideas.

I’ve seen leftist news shows become completely obsessed by this issue. It’s a point of ideological purity amongst many leftists. For example, when highly wealthy and absurdly privileged actor Eddie Redmayne apologised for playing a transgender role when he’s not transgender, this leftist nonsense only ascended ever higher.

Transgender has become emblematic of the leftist delusion. The left believed their multiethnic political coalition would happily follow along with their silly transgender nonsense, but it didn’t. Just because you’re a certain skin colour, it doesn’t mean you think a man can be a woman. Leftists thought they owned whole racial groups, but these actual groups beg to differ.

Sounds to me like an explanation for those 12 million missing dem votes.

Football crowds are not the nicest blokes we all know.
In Greece we say the AEK supporters are the less criminal types compared to the others but some criminal types do exist in AEK Athens.
I can't take the back of any Israelis in this but the others sent an army against them.
