I’d say….. never….. it’s why I made my anti-Trump bets. When Trump loses I can only hope Vance goes down politically as well. I need a sane Republican Party to combat the disastrous Democrat party. I don’t see it in the near future.


I doubt Trump will concede the election, regardless of the outcome. He still claims he won the last time and I don't see a reason to change that coming out of the next election. I wonder how many will be willing to "storm the capitol" next time?

One aspect of the military I always appreciated was the fact it was never MY president or YOUR president, it was OUR president. These silly idiots that says he's not my president are in fact disrespecting the United States. I remember the Obama is not my president or the Trump is not my president people. If Obama or Trump wasn't your president, who was your president for those 8 years or 4 years? Did you leave the country? As I said, idiots. The military stood for one country, not for one man.

Either support OUR president, or move to a country that you can live with the leader.

Agree. But you must concede that far more felt that way over the last 8 years about Trump than Biden. I can say the same thing about the Supreme Court. The left does not accept the legitimacy of the new generally conservative justices.

There are those that don't accept the authority of the US Govt to levy taxes. Whatever bat-shit crazy stuff you choose to accept or not accept does not alter reality. Neither the "left" nor "right" gets to dictate only those policies or people they deem fit to govern. Those justices are legitimate, and duly appointed under our system. Rage against the machine all you like, but that is the reality.

Until recently it's been a peaceful transition of power, time will tell if that remains true. The more polarized we get between the left and the right, the more we play into the power brokers hands. A huge magic act is taking place before our eyes and we argue amongst ourselves while the magician palms the ball.

This is simply untrue, you can look at stats of number of Republicans who accepted the outcome of the 2020 election vs the number of Democrats who accepted the results of the 2016 election. (The majority of Republicans do not accept the most recent Presidential election -its not even close-....)

And, stats are showing the majority of Republicans will only accept the 2024 election if Trump wins.

Donny has started tweeting again.

For the past few years he’d only been posting to his failing Truth Social app.

Far more left felt that way over the last 8 years? Did "the left" storm the Capital in an insurrectionist attempt to overturn the results of the election?

Congrats. Some of the big mouths over on WoV just couldn't stand it and they had to make political post after political post until Mike finally got sick of it and closed the thread. Bill Ryan and terapined were the final straw I guess making two political posts that had nothing to do with betting after Mike just suspended four people for the same thing. Brilliant.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Yep, and the guy who got suspended for the assassination joke got suspended again too. 😳 I guess he just can't control himself. 🤷‍♂
