Re: Current Events...
Iran will be one of the biggest political blunders seen in my lifetime. Diesel was 6.89/gal when I drove by this morning. Nobody is staying in power with those prices. Nobody.
Yup. I have a diesel truck for work that we haven't used cause it would eat too much profit. Just ridiculous.
Texas is blue. Senate and Governor. Kansas flipped. Ohio flipped. Both Carolinas. Iowa. Ohio. Looks like Maine will flip as well.
11 house seats flipped.
No flips to red.
Bad night for Maga. Hopefully the end of that con of a movement.

His first term didn’t seem that bad because there were adults who basically stopped him from his worst impulses.
Look all people want is economic and personal security in their lives . What were the two things that were most prevalent in the last 2 years ? ICE killing and causing chaos in cities and the tariffs and Iran basically making things super expensive .
He was basically elected on lower prices and COL and basically staying out of wars . He did the exact opposite.
Notice he got destroyed so badly he didn’t even raise the election fraud bullshit he likes to parrot.
When you lose Senate seats in KS, TX, SC and maybe even in MS; the country is trying to tell you and tour your party something. Democrats now have 250+ house seats . When I went to bed , it was only at 235 and that was already in historic bad wipeout levels

I know of no greater fool than a person unwilling or unable to learn, or seek advice from those who know more than they do. Highly successful people are open to mentorship at some point in their lives or continued growth/learning. Highly effective leaders defer to experts to make decisions, scale and expedite. They know what they don't know or make hires to do jobs better than they could.
You're right though. He had guard rails on the first term, and nearly a dozen of those people later came forward and said he should never be president again. He's crazy, mentally ill and surrounded by sycophants this time around. Last night exceeded any loss I could imagine though. Texas going blue? Pffft! I would have lost money on that bet.

This.
