Yet when I try to talk about the winning candidate, you never engage.... there always seems to be a "whaddabout the losing candidate" pivot. Interesting.

From my perspective, Donald Trump is the President-elect now. A full understanding of how he got to this point and what he plans on doing going forward is far more pertinent today and will remain more pertinent than Kamala Harris will be. At some point, hiding behind and punching down on Kamala Harris is gonna have a shelf life. If it hasn't passed already. Put even more succinctly, congratulations, your guy won... to the winner goes the attention and scrutiny. That's how it works lol

Yep... 100% It's overall very telling that all roads lead back to "whaddbout Kamala" with Holic conversations.

Your "direct" question in response to a point about Donald Trump's support (or perceived support) in the black community was to ask about a completely different candidate and Oprah. Apparently we have different definitions of the word "direct" lol

The term, mentioned here before, is "thermostatic response".... and it generally comes for all incoming Presidents (including the incoming one during his first term) I doubt this time will be any different.

You're going to do what you are going to do... Nobody's telling you otherwise. But if you aren't going to engage on the actual substance of anything I post, why should I be expected to engage on your unrelated and irrelevant points?

It's easier than defending the teevee doctor running Medicare and Medicaid, that's for sure.

Pretty clearly was discussing Trump's level of support (and perceptions of his support) within the black community. Ya got anything on that? Or are we gonna play "whaddabout Kamala?" some more

You're spot on here, there will be some that will it explain it all away in the short term if it comes to pass. The risk for them is that it quite possibly misreads why the median voter went their way in this election.

Not clear what any of this has to do with the point I was making.

The celebrity endorsements are part of the story, but the media has largely done a piss poor job in framing what happened with various groups in this election. Like, it isn't debatable that Trump will end up doing better than most GOP candidates in our lifetimes with black voters (going from winning 7% to somewhere between 10-12%), which matters a lot in terms of electoral politics. But somewhere along the way, this morphed into "Trump is wildly popular with black voters." Which seems to have lose sight of the fact that a candidate only winning 12% of a group is still, by any definition, getting rinsed.

The only thing I told you to do was to look at the scoreboard (ie. somewhere between 88-12 and 90-10)

When the dust settles on this election, even after focusing on the share improvements across the board (as you have done repeatedly), you're probably looking at Donald Trump's opponent getting somewhere between 88-90% share of the African American vote. In that context, it would be surprising if the vast majority of the community didn't notice a lack of representation within his cabinet. I don't need to look for a story to tell me that... The vote share tells the story about what the black community largely thinks about Donald Trump.

Also advocates the use of beef tallow for fries... Health benefits aside, with as many fast food restaurants as we have in the United States, could you imagine what that would do to prices? For an administration that is coming to power largely off of backlash to recent inflation, they sure seem to embrace or signal policy shifts that would just reignite it.

I gave up all soda at Lent in 2017 and haven't looked back... Diet Pepsi was my drug of choice. Overall has been very good for my health

I have been able follow some accounts that I value who have Bsky accounts in the few days that I've had both, but kinda realized today that it wasn't worth holding onto. I had more or less logged off the past few days anyway and didn't feel the desire to go back

I deactivated my account Twitter account today.... just didn't feel that it met my needs any longer.

1) It really isn't shocking at all tho 2) I'm not doing four more years of anonymous Trump ally's backfilling an explanation for taking certain actions and taking it at face value

"I haven't seen it, therefore it doesn't exist"

Dude literally tried to invalidate millions of votes in the last election. But crickets from certain folks

But hey, the libs are being owned... That's all that matters lol

BREAKING President-elect Trump says he intends on nominating Dr. Oz to serve as CMS Administrator. As CMS Administrator, Dr. Oz will oversee Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). These programs provide healthcare to over 100 million Americans. What a joke... another teevee nomination

Spot on, Magic... The whole thing is a glimpse into the future... And it ain't pretty

Can't help but think the Jake Paul v Tyson thing, and the inability to actually watch the damn thing, is a metaphor for what's to come. Especially given they are both Trumpers

Ackshully, it's because Harris did ________.
