The 2024 United States Presidential Election Thread

[Comrade Khan]

At the end of the day I think people are just ignorant to how people can collectively be discontent, selfish, and looking out for their own interests when it comes to electing someone.

Trump tells people what they wanna hear, so they're willing to ignore the fact that he's a fascist because they want what he's selling them, plain and simple. People don't care about history when they're worried about the present and feel pissed off.

its been almost a century I suppose - and despite it being rememberance day yesterday

LEST WE FORGET

I say it all the time, the people who served in WW2 have to be rolling in their graves seeing the blatant appeals to fascism we're currently seeing, but so many people today view it as "Patriotism" rather than what it actually is.

That's the problem with this guy here. He doesn't get that people who are discontent and unhappy about current situations will go to extremists to get the job done.

Twitter vs Threads vs Bluesky; Which One Are You Using?

Personally I gave up on Threads as it was nothing but farming for posts looking for friends and all that garbage. It's gonna be a while before something comes along and actually dethrones Twitter.

Trump talked about closing the Department of Education during just about every campaign speech he made. He was extremely explicit about it -- no coded language. Maybe people didn't understand what they were doing, but they voted for this.

Don't worry. Even though he said that, if he was actually going to do it, then no one would have voted for him. We learn from our mistakes

Donald Trump has chosen John Ratcliffe to serve as his CIA director, the president-elect announced in a statement Tuesday.

Ratcliffe had been high on the list of potential attorney general candidates, sources told CNN.

He is currently a co-chair at the Center for American Security at the America First Policy Institute, a Trump-linked think tank.

The Texas conservative served as the director of national intelligence from 2020 to 2021 During Trump’s first term – and his appointment served as a key argument for critics who believed that Trump was using the intelligence community to serve his political needs. During his tenure, Ratcliffe publicly released unverified information about Russia’s influence in the 2016 presidential election over the objection of members of the intelligence community. Critics claimed at the time that Ratcliffe was using intelligence to help Trump politically as the 2020 presidential election approached.

"With Pete at the helm, America's enemies are on notice - Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down," he added.

Hegseth is an Army National Guard veteran and according to his website served in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Ah yes, nothing says defense like serving on a base notorious for human rights violations in the same of "security".

Trump Picks Kristi Noem for Homeland Security Secretary

Ms. Noem, the governor of South Dakota, would play a major role in carrying out the president-elect’s promises to crack down on the border and deport millions of people.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has selected Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota to run the Homeland Security Department, a critical position in charge of the nation’s immigration system.

Mr. Trump has made an immigration crackdown a central element of his administration’s promises, with pledges to not only more aggressively police the border but to also carry out a wide-scale deportation operation throughout the country.

Ms. Noem will play a crucial role in helping Mr. Trump deliver on those promises as she will be in charge of agencies that enforce immigration laws, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
