Re: Golden Age emerging

I said I wasn't going to do that.

I have to respect that the people of this nation really do not favor solid governance and apparently the moral compass of the people is indifferent to criminal activity, insurrections, and putting an unstable man in power.

May God forgive this nation of this grave sin, but I fear that no sin comes without consequence, and we'll have to be prepared.

He embodies the seven deadly sins like no other, but as a white male I'll be ok, really all I have to do is keep working and I will be fine and will continue not to need Opinionated's taxes to pay for my food, bills, or healthcare.

But I mourn for women, and minorities. I mourn for girls who will be harassed with impunity. I mourn for boys who have the lowest of men and the worst display of masculinity for a leader.

Hell I mourn for all of it.

But have fun.... because like adults, on this post Election morning, you won't see insurrections. You will see what the Constitution mandated, a peaceful transfer of power.

I've picked as many winners as I have second place finishers, but my conscience remains clear that I never have voted for Donald Trump.

I love my roots too deeply and the moral compass ingrained in me that I would never betray my conscience like that.

Now we have to live with the consequences, for those whose compass doesn't seem to be pointed forward, upward, or onward.

Futures markets in the U.S. surged early Wednesday, with the Dow climbing 2.85% and the S&P 500 rising nearly 2%.

Bitcoin, which many see as a winner under a Trump presidency, hit all-time highs above $75,000.

Tesla, the company run by Trump surrogate Elon Musk, spiked 12% before the opening bell while other electric vehicle makers slumped.

Banking stocks also moved solidly higher, with expectations of a pullback by regulators overseeing markets under Trump.

America has made their choice, Donald Trump will be president.

We are now living in a time were truth, rule of law, moral character have become unimportant to the majority. Times have changed.

We will all live with the results of that choice.

I will be fine, as I am an old person. My concern is for the younger generation and what is yet to come. Time will tell.

Re: Golden Age emerging

My guy loves free and fair elections, that is why he is surrounded by men and women patriots who love the Constitution and the freedoms it provides. But, he also has great disdain for unnecessary war upon war, upon war. Plus, he has a great talent for taking care of his own first. Charity comes from the heart, not off the backs of hard working Americans.

Your girl wanted Reproductive Rights (the ability to legally slaughter babies in utero). Her ultimate goal was to federalize this right without any regards to those who believe it to be a moral abomination.

It went to the States instead, and from what I’m seeing, abortion rights are expanding, so the People are deciding, instead of having it federally mandated and shoved down all throats.

Since that was her main ambition, she was victorious. Have a chat with our Heavenly Father about that victory.

Re: Golden Age emerging

Come on Dee. This was a landslide for several reasons and it's clear that democrats in Pennsylvania and other states defected.

Why?
1,) Because it's the economy stupid? People always blame or credit the incumbent with the condition of their finances. It was the number one issue.

2,) Immigration was important and many democrats know it. My God, if you can't see it was huge in places like Miami-Dade, you're blind. Number two issue.

3.) Your group called women weak and ignorant. They demeaned black men. They called Trump supporters garbage. There is accountability to putting people down.

4.) Abortion was made too big of a single issue. While it was a big help to Harris, look at the state ballots that did exactly what Trump wanted. With the exception of Florida, state issues supported reasonable abortions.

5.) Crime. Your candidate was the leader of the pack in soft on crime issues. Big loser for her. Cops all over the country celebrate this day.

6.) Woke bullshit. Someday, the majority of Americans will succumb to calling a male by his new female pronoun. Someday the majority will say it's okay for a boy to pee in a girl's restroom. Someday, the majority will say it's okay for a wanna be girl compete with real girls in sports.

Today ain't the day. You'll take a day to cry. GOP supporters will take a day to brag. At the end of the week, I hope we all start realizing we need each other and the extremist need to back off.

3Dee's second post on this thread very accurately expresses my overall thoughts on Trump's win. I couldn't have said it any better.

Re: Golden Age emerging

As an old man, I can say
Truth surrounding politics died some time ago.

The rule of law died when things like the SafT act were passed and we allowed rioters to burn, loot and murder with no fear of consequence and

moral fiber of a person doesn’t necessarily reflect their political views.

We are a different nation than we were in the 50’s.

Ya, Kamala didn't win so the country has no morals. So predictable.

What happened was despite the media doing all that they could, the battle cry of Let's kill all the babies and Trump is Hitler, just wasn't enough.

They tried their best to push the insurrection nonsense also, and the voters saw that for what it was. Look at the bright side, right after the inauguration if they don't kill him first all the naysayers can start trashing Vance, (Hitler Jr.)

Re: Golden Age emerging

Opi - I wasn't around in the fifties. My wife and I are raising very young children, determined to teach them right from wrong, kindness, empathy, inclusiveness, not hatred and the idea that someone in power is above the law. It's what she and I were taught, we both had and have good role models They will also be taught to be tough and to stand up for their rights.

Hopefully by the time they are old enough to understand, someone like Donald Trump will not be leading our country.

I get the general lack of honesty and moral fiber in politics, but Trump takes it to the extreme.

Re: Golden Age emerging

1. Economy? Really? It's up...more up than it's ever been, unemployment down. I guess 'Trump' will fix that.

2. Trump blocked bi-partisan Immigration reform and leveraged his support for anyone who opposed it.

3. Trump says a million hateful and ignorant things each day, and you nitpick one thing against him? Not even close on point 3. Trump has said plenty in his incessant infantile rantings.

4. I agree with that. That is hardly a good lead issue. My views on abortion are not in line with Kamala anyway. I agree that she over pushed this issue, to be the 'abortion' candidate. Being that said, there is nothing Pro-Life about Trump, but the Pro-Lifers just didn't know any better, when Kamala was high on her abortion horse.

5. Check the states during the 45th Administration, and the occupant did not 'lower crime' but increased mass shootings. More guns, more mass shootings.

6. There is nothing anyone in the white house can do about most of the 'woke' issues anyway. To me, it's a fluff issue for either side.

So like I said, there is no plausible case to make between good governance in a moral society and the election of Donald Trump.

I don't demean large groups of people. I am just mournful of their actions, that truly are lacking any serious thought, and must be issues of the psyche.

What the United States chose to repudiate, and what was chosen to be vindicated will be a collective error many will wish they wouldn't have made.

We move on, but now it's harder, because we truly will be moving back and perhaps moving into some new dark territory we have never imagined.

So let's talk morality. Was it moral when JFK, the most well-liked and respected democrat of my lifetime cheated on his wife? How about when Clinton was staining Monica's dress in the oral office? Was it morally correcting for Pelosi to use insider trading? Of course not. You guys act like Trump created the lack of morals in office.

Let's talk laws. Was there really a difference in the insurrectionist animals on Jan 6th and those in the summer of 2020? I mean buildings burned, including government owned and there were actually murders as opposed to linked deaths? Did Kamala lead the charge on releasing the rioters that summer? Did other democrats support the rioters with their words? Yes.

These people are all users and anyone who doesn't see that is naive or stupid and I know you're not the latter.

It ain't Disney World. National politics, using people, bending laws and being corruptive are owned by all of them.

Yeah, I'm happier with the results this time than I might have been. I don't celebrate Trump's win as much as I do Kamala's loss. She was the wrong candidate and voters showed her. Pollsters tried to set it up as a win. Media tried to make Trump the boogey man with threats of Hitler like demeaner.

I'm trying to follow what the Insurrection on the Capital has to do with the riots of 2020.

I don't believe that riots equate to righteous anger by any means, but if not for the sh** disturbing outsiders --- the actual neighborhood had a right to cry out for justice against police brutality.

Did you see a president or an elected leader lead the charge or encourage it? No.

That's the difference - on Jan. 6 Trump incited the insurrection and then showed NO leadership. Mike Pence had to act and thank God he did.

And why this society vindicates treason and such abject and irresponsible dereliction of duty is beyond me.

I'm trying to follow what the Insurrection on the Capital has to do with the riots of 2020.

So you don't see violence against innocent people, looting of stores like pigs at a trough, police stations being burned and even people being murdered as riots with different incentives? Wow, I'm surprised you can't see that.

I don't believe that riots equate to righteous anger by any means, but if not for the sh** disturbing outsiders --- the actual neighborhood had a right to cry out for justice against police brutality.

By shit disturbing outsiders, I assume you mean BLM? They are on the same level of the Proud Boys and KKK as far as I'm concern. The family of Floyd had a right to be angry. That cop should spend his remaining life in prison. Still no excuse for what they did in his neighborhood and definitely not what they did in places like Portland. Again, you can't justify one and condemn the other.

Did you see a president, or an elected leader lead the charge or encourage it? No.

You may want to go back and play some sound bites from those days. Pelosi, Schumer, AOC and other said they understood and sympathized with the protestors.

And keep one thing in mind. While yesterday may have been peaceful, when Trump was inaugurated the first time, we did see some looting and burning in D.C. It wasn't the vagina-hat wearing screamers and crier. Cars were set on fire and stores were broken into. Let's see what happens this January

I denounce with every fiber the actions of Jan 6. I would have loved seeing the police open fire on those asshats. Twenty bucks said it would have ended much sooner.

I understand that Trump haters can't or don't want to see the similarities between riots they condone and Jan 6. I see both as attacks on Free America and both should be met with lethal force. It would stop.

Stay the course though. In 2028, if the democrats keep harping on Jan 6 or on abortion only, they will see Nikkie Haley become the first woman President. LOL

CNN
—
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had months (and months) to ponder what she would say if and when former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of the murder of George Floyd. Which makes what she did say on Wednesday – in the immediate aftermath of the Chauvin verdict – all the more baffling.

“Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice,” Pelosi said at an event with the Congressional Black Caucus shortly after the verdict. “For being there to call out to your mom, how heartbreaking was that,” Pelosi said during the news conference. “And because of you … your name will always be synonymous with justice.

It was Walz who issued the executive order activating the guard — although he didn’t do so as quickly as some thought he should have. According to local reporting, the approval came about 20 hours after Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey first phoned Walz on the evening of May 27, 2020,

n a June 2020 interview, U.S. Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris said of the nationwide anti-police brutality protests: “Everyone beware. They're not gonna stop before election day in November, and they're not gonna stop after election day ... They’re not gonna let up, and they should not.”

Dee,

Same here. I did not even waste my time to fact check any thing on that bias post. First line told me it came from MAGA agenda.

Trump did impose tariff on steel, but made exceptions to almost every country rendering it ineffective.

Bob, just look to our own mill. Blast furnace is no longer operating. Many are laid off. The steel industry has not grown in America. Manufacturing jobs did not return.

I do hope you guys are right about Trump, and that all of America will thrive. I would be more then happy to give him credit if he earns it.

A good example of confirmation bias, which a lot of us are guilty of.

I'm not nearly as deep into politics as most on here, but I do know that Joe Biden has been president for the last 4 years, and that statement is not a good testament to his economy.

Bob,
All presidents get credit and blame for things that they do not have control over.

Most people do not understand how our government works.

Business are "supply and demand" not regulated by the president. Things like food, gas and the stock market are consumer driven.

Many people vote on these issues and believe that the president will fix them.

Powers or the President are limited, at least for now. That could change in the next four years if Project 25, or even parts of it, are put in place.

Time will tell what happen.

One thing I do believe is that there will be a lot of court cases that the Supreme Court will decide as the two sides fight over granting so much more power to the President.

Right you are. However, both sides try to take credit for such things when they are going good and point fingers in bad times.

How many times in the last few years have we heard, "strongest economy ever", "record market", "lowering inflation"? If they do that they have to take blame as well,

Now, I will say that their policies may have some initial market influence as we saw Wednesday but for the most part, supply and demand move the needle, not the WH.

But can't some of the President's policies move the needle? If not, what's the big deal?

Bob, absolutely correct for short term up and down trending. Example Wednesday morning. However, once that impulse and speculative investment levels off, you get a more realistic picture of the market.

Now when Trump opens up drilling and eases regulations again, watch it spike. Should be a good six months.
