2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House

[Hood Critic]

Until these polls get their undecided numbers closer to 5% they’re meaningless to me

More like 3% but agreed.

Nikki Haley is not president.

Hope this helps.

You should be informed

This thread becoming a hive mind and it's sad, I'd rather them be concerned about the election than comfortable. Idk how you look at the economy cost of living etc and think it's in the bag. Presidents have historically always lost when consumers are struggling financially, this honestly the worst time to have an election for an incumbent

I'm sure the people hating on Biden will be better if Trump wins.

So I should be mad at Nikki Haley trolling with words, but not The Warlord who provides Net and Yahoo with bombs? Did I get that right?

But she does have the ear of a contingent of current undecided voters.

Its amazing how pessimistic and cynical a lot of you are. You should view this as an opportunity for either Biden or Trump...depending on your politics.

This is the problem. Trying to scare us into hypotheticals about what the GQP might do if they get the White House again.

Unfortunately, that is where this race will boil down to, a contrast between a Biden presidency vs. a Trump presidency.

there's only one fukking warlord in this scenario, and that's Netanyahu

i'm just glad that we won't have to hear your bytching if Trump wins this election, and fulfills his pledge to help Netanyahu end Palestine for good, since that's apparently your foreign policy preference

I think we’d like to be fully informed. Surely there is some new information about an ongoing criminal trial, floundering GOP support or dwindling campaign finances, amongst other things? But I guess not

Trump Reveals Chilling New Details in Mass Deportation Plans

Donald Trump has a plan for the police in his proposed crackdown on immigration.

newrepublic.com

Donald Trump revealed new details of his horrific massive deportation plan at the Libertarian National Convention on Monday, where he was mostly booed by the crowd, saying he wants to grant cops who carry out mass deportation total immunity from misconduct investigations and lawsuits.

Alt-right podcaster and beanie enthusiast Tim Pool interviewed Trump—because the Libertarian National Convention is nothing if not a fever dream—asking him, “I know that you’ve said there’s gonna be the largest deportation effort in your next term. How do we do it?”

Trump rambled, as he does, about an estimated 15 to 17 million people he wants to deport—numbers that contradict existing data and that he seems to have just made up—who’ve entered the United States for asylum and job opportunities, baselessly accusing them of being “murderers … drug dealers … coming from mental institutions,” before finally saying he wants to use “local police” to enforce his mass deportation plans.

“It will really be done with local police,” said Trump before devolving into a barely coherent tirade explaining his desire to provide immunity to his future deportation gestapo:

Do you know, the respect has been taken away, the honor has been taken away from our police forces. They’re not allowed to do anything, and whether it’s libertarian or not libertarian, people have to have, you have to have law and order. You can’t have 500 people walking into a department store and just walking out with everything they have, and we have to give honor and respect back, and I believe immunity because, you know, so often when a police person does their job they end up with no pension, they end up with no house, they end up with no family. Everything’s taken away from them. They have to get their own lawyer. So we’re gonna give them back their dignity and their strength.

Trump’s depiction of police accountability is an extremely exaggerated detailing of what could happen when someone with a cushy job loses that job for engaging in egregious violations of the law. His desire to shield cops from accountability builds on existing qualified immunity policies, which shield cops from being held personally liable for violating someone’s constitutional rights without a high-bar precedent. Under these policies, someone else in the same position has to have violated a person’s constitutional rights in the same way and have been held accountable for that violation—an intensely confusing policy that essentially functions to severely limit people’s ability to pursue misconduct lawsuits against cops who violate their constitutional rights.
