Just how will his reign effect the children now and to be born?


I see his persona having a great influence on the action of those in their fordable years. Taking on the habits and actions of his, those allowed and condoned by the current followers and enablers.

A rash deregulation of many safety measures protecting the country. I fear the most for the financial ones. Can one imagine the 401K's being depleted due to a removal of safe guards.....
Well, so far, so good:
After the first two days after the election:

- Stock market hits record high
- Migrant caravan at our border dissolves
- Hamas calls for end to war
- Bitcoin hits record high
- Putin ready to end Ukraine war
- Qatar kicks out Hamas leaders
- EU will buy U.S. gas not Russian gas
- Putin will sell oil in U.S. dollars
- Zelenskyy phones Trump & Elon
- NYC Mayor ends vouchers for illegals
- Mexico to stop migrants at U.S. border
- China wants to work peacefully with us
- Big U.S. company to move out of China

And I'll add that it looks like a lot of Hollywood is moving away as well.

And this from today:

I'm not tired of winning yet, but it is getting a bit exhausting.

I was trying to figure out why this site is really not much fun any more. And the Mark Twain quote hit me. Now, I'm no fan of ad-hominem and like to think of those on the left as just "young and ignorant". But it dawned on me that some of the posters here are over 40. That is when ignorance becomes stupidity, at least, if you are still posting as if you have both knowledge and wisdom, yet demonstrate neither. So I suppose the quote applies here:

“Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

And I see a LOT of experience here.

I may be back, but not to argue, that's for sure.

So, by all means, let the circle jerk continue.

Folks found your presence here was to troll the libs and flaunt your own violations of debate. You are basically fact-allergic and a waste of keystrokes. Go back to your Christian nationalist white supremacy paradise and find another pastime, stop wasting ours here with your tiresome absurdities.

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the founder of Tesla and SpaceX would lead what he called the "Department of Government Efficiency" or (DOGE), along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, to "dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies."

No such department exists and the president-elect didn't offer many details about how it would operate or how it would be staffed, if at all. Trump's statement said DOGE "will provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget."

However, the appointment of Musk has raised concerns as the billionaire, who frequently posts his political opinions on X, formerly Twitter, which he bought in October 2022, has continued to speak on what he aims to do given his recent appointment.

In a post on X, Musk who seemingly pointed towards concerns over foreign interference in the 2024 election, warned that there will be "consequences" for those who pushed "foreign interference hoaxes."

"There will be consequences for those who pushed foreign interference hoaxes. The Hammer of Justice is coming," he wrote on Saturday.
Any unwelcome news is a hoax?
Isn't the Hammer of Justice same as Lawfare?

For the next four years, we will live in a world of hypocrisy while the MAGAts dazzle us with their ignorance. As for DOGE, I expect this to be a department within X with the single purpose of posting disinformation.
