Black males in Georgia were 24% this time, 11% last time. I guess they didn't appreciate Obungle's speech last week.

Top trolling from CNN though, in the vinegar strokes of this election.

I guess that confirms that you don't have to be smart to get a college degree.

Looking forward to the depatriation flights of celebs leaving the country. I guess Deniro already left earlier today?

First Republican potus to win the popular vote since Bush I think, didn't Obama win the popular vote in 2012?

Dems got this badly wrong, people thought it would be the Rep's who would have to sit down and have a major rethink of the direction and leadership after the election. turns out it's the Dem party who are going to have to do just this.

Shows that people generally don't like being talked down to and all the Democratic party attacks did just that, sort of a 'fuck you' vote?

going to be a very interesting 4 years.

Out of interest, did Biden actually achieve anything whilst in office?

Or, in the US at least, you can't be poor to get a college degree.

A colleague of mine over there was happy with his daughter's choice for her medical degree as it was in state so cheaper than my son's uni degree in England.

Also....which may come as news to some..

'President Joe Biden – then increased some of the Trump tariffs: up to 100% on electric vehicles, 50% on solar cells and 25% on batteries from China.'

...and this...

'While Biden signed a truce with Europe on tariffs, it started a perhaps even more damaging battle by launching a subsidy race.

The US Inflation Reduction Act for instance contains US$369 billion (Β£286 billion) of subsidies in areas such as electric vehicles or renewable energy. And the Chips Act committed US$52 billion to subsidise the production of semiconductors and computer chips.'

So, not exactly the 'America Second' character he's been branded. :lol:

I guess you can find fors and against Bidens administration depending on your source? Even though I always thought Trump would win, I'm just pretty astounded at the trouncing the Democrats got. That said they should have pulled sleepy joe 2 years ago and I blame his family as much as the party for letting him continue despite his obvious problems.

Harris was clearly a really bad choice, but I'm not familiar enough with US politics to know who they could have chose and regardless, I doubt any of them would have changed this outcome!

All shows either:
- how poor their campaign was
- how much people dislike Harris
Or both.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

'Depending on your source'?

No mate, just by looking at a few facts. I know they're out of fashion but they do still exist.
