If its anything like the UK situation its Housing Developers building homes that are supposed to be 'affordable' to first time buyers, but are actually high end stock, that remain empty for years, but their profits are subsidised by government. This is used to keep house prices artificially high

Yes this company got a lot of money during the great recession. 

But yes it's the government with y the builders that need to fix this. 

Let's see if Trump does anything about this.

Look at this:

Hate front page from this morning's press
It's a Greek tabloid owned by a deranged anti-vaxer, racist thug.
But just look.

It's a fact that today the world is ruled by the votes of such types.
It's not a fact that the new administration will satisfy all their pervert wishes, but they form the nucleus of the new president's supporters.

This one is the character who hosted the tv program leading to the accusation against me about calling the Golden Dawn "assault battalions.

Another I mentioned before is that I would thought the Biden team lost a lot of support for the whole Israel and Gaza war. 

And that theory was right I saw the votes in Michigan where a lot of Muslims are voted for Trump.... 

And ya that is Biden but many saw kamala as an extension of Biden. 

I think if Democrat had chosen another person not align to Biden they would have won.

No, don't believe that.
Propping up Trump was within Hamash plans to perpetrate the 7/10 atrocities.
It succeeded. Jews voted for "hardliner" Trump, muslims abstained from voting democrat.
This lot of muslims who voted Trump as you say were maybe Turko-americans.

If this actually happens he'll be the most popular president since FDR.

Agreed. It'd be an incredibly stupid vote if they thought Biden supported Israel too much; Trump is Netanyahu's buddy.

Which comes to show how detached democrats have been.
There are more registered republicans than democrats.

And the loss was so big that it wasn't just about Kamala, but the entire Democratic Party, and especially Biden's (disastrous) term. It was a republican win in all fronts.

Still think that the economy was a tough one though; because I'm not sure what Biden could have done differently considering the staggering amount spent over COVID.

ouch

Today, the Democrats have become the party of priggishness, pontification and pomposity. It may make them feel righteous, but how’s that ever going to be a winning electoral look?
I voted reluctantly for Harris because of my fears for what a second Trump term might bring — in Ukraine, our trade policy, civic life, the moral health of the conservative movement writ large.

Red Shift Across the U.S.

Of the counties with nearly complete results, more than 90 percent shifted in favor of former President Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential election, according to a Times analysis of election results reported as of early Wednesday.

DJT IS THE NOW THE 45TH AND 47TH PRESIDENT of the USA

GUESS WHAT

4+5= 9

4+7= 11

= 9 11

 

DJT won't live to complete his next 4 years.

 

I know that he won't do the things he said he would do.

All his policies are lies politicians can say whatever to get elected but the billion dollars businesses are in control not the government.

After Trump Took the Lead, Election Deniers Went Suddenly Silent

Trump supporters spent years fomenting concern about election integrity. On Tuesday, they set it all aside.

[cosmicway 1,313]

I never pay attention to pre election talk - it does n''t change things.
Maybe Harris did well to narrow the deficit but it wasn't enough.

The Republicans are trending (atm, thsi could change) to have 55 US Senate seats to only 45 for the Democrats

that number may go up to 56 to 44 if Rosen loses NV (razor thin atm, after she was up 4)

 

Disastrous, as in the 2026 midterms the only Republican seats at risk are these 2 (thus meaning it is impossible for the Dems to retake control)

Maine    Susan Collins (if she retires the Dems win it)

North Carolina    Thom Tillis

 

and the bad news could get worse 

as the Dems have these 3 seats in real danger

in order of most danger:

Georgia    Jon Ossoff (by far the most likely of any sitting Senator in either party to lose in 2026, although as staed above, IF Collins in Me retires, the Dems take that seat back, finally)

Michigan    Gary Peters

New Hampshire    Jeanne Shaheen

Senate update

It is currently 52 R 45 D (as I am going to go ahead and give ME to the Dems, no idea why it has not been called, as the Repub trails by a huge amount)

Slotkin in MI and Baldwin in WI (Both Dems) cam from behind to win super close races

3 races still up in the air

NV (where Rosen, the Dem now narrowly trails Brown, the Repub)

PA (the Repub also narrowly leads)

and AZ (likely a Dem win)

IF the Repubs win either NV or PA (or both)

They cannot lose the Senate in 2026

IF Dems sweep the last 3 now, then in theory, if all 5 of the only remotely close races in 2026 go their way (a huge IF) it would end up 50-50, post 2026 midterms, with some power sharing BUT JD Vance, Trump's VP, as the President of the Senate, would break ties (like VP Harris did many times for the Dems the last 4 years).

So if the Republicans win either PA or NV now, it is mathematically impossible for them to lose the Seante in 2026, and in reality they will still have control even if the 8 seats now and in 2026 are all swept by the Dems.

 

I am 75 to 80  per cent sure that the Republicans retain the US House

the worst they can end up with is probably a 218 to 217 hyper narrow majority, but I can see them perhaps winning 221 to 225 seats.
