Russian President Vladimir Putin won’t join the chorus of global leaders congratulating Donald Trump on his historic election win, his spokesman stating U.S.-Russian relations are “at their lowest point in history”. Political leaders from across Europe sent letters of congratulations to once and future President Donald Trump on Wednesday, some out of a sense of genuine pleasure and others in a bid at damage control, but the Kremlin says President Vladimir Putin takes no pleasure from the news. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told domestic press on Wednesday that he was not aware that Putin had any plans to offer congratulations, remarking: “Let’s not forget that we are talking about an unfriendly country

My TDS suffering brother and his wife think that putin wanted Trump to win. They have drunk so much of the kool-aide that they may never be able to come back. They are convinced that Trump is a budding tyrant who will never leave office.

Putin is in serious trouble. His army has gotten thrashed in Ukraine with huge casualties, and the Russian economy is in bad condition. Putin made a foolish mistake going into Ukraine. And the Democrats were fools to poke the Russian bear with NATO threats, and biolabs. The Russian and Ukrainian people have been devastated by Putin, and Democrat Party interference in Ukraine. What an unnecessary mess!

Is it just me or are we / were we getting uncomfortably close to WW III for no other reason that certain individuals / companies were getting rich. There were no wars in Trumps first term and I am hopeful that whatever he did last time to accomplish that he will do again.

I call BS on this story. In fact, I read an earlier story that said Putin welcomed President Trump back. I believe that President Trump and President Putin have been clandestinely working together on stopping international child sex trafficking.

Elon Musk on Tuesday signaled that he plans to remain a major player in American politics even after the 2024 election. At the end of an X Spaces on Tuesday evening, Musk told listeners that America PAC, the super PAC that the billionaire businessman has funded with at least $119 million, will "keep going after this election." Musk said his super PAC was "preparing for the midterms and any intermediate elections, as well as looking at elections at the district attorney level." America PAC has spent more than $152 million on the presidential election, according to the latest filings. It's also spent more than $19 million boosting GOP candidates

Normally a reliable blue bastion in federal elections, New Jersey surprisingly put up swing state numbers on Tuesday, coming the closest it has in a generation to casting its electoral votes for a Republican president. Vice President Kamala Harris still won the state over Donald Trump, but the former president gained major ground in New Jersey. Having lost the state by double digits in 2016 and 2020, Trump closed election night down just five points — the closest presidential showing for a Republican since George H.W. Bush lost by 2.4 points in 1992. Tuesday night’s margin is more striking considering registered Democratic voters in New Jersey grew threefold

Especially while trying to paint your party as The Defender of Muh Democracy? Gee, they may be on to something here! This took place relatively late in the evening, which makes the tentative nature of this discussion so very, very amusing. The chyron that appears below NBC's Lester Holt and Biden flack Jen Psaki shows NBC's call of the state of Washington, which took place as all three Blue Wall states flashed red for at least an hour. The New York Times "dials" had at this point given Trump >70% chance of winning each of them, as I recall, with Pennsylvania and its decisive 19 Electoral College electors already a near-lock.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced Wednesday he had dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner, bringing an end to Germany's ruling coalition after months of political wrangling and raising the possibility of snap elections in March. The three-year-old union between Scholz's Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens and Lindner's Free Democratic Party (FDP) had been on shaky ground for some time, with differing budget and economic policy positions causing tensions and clashes. Speaking at a press conference late Wednesday, Scholz launched a tirade against Lindner, saying he was not concerned about serving for the common good and he was dismissed to prevent harm to the country.

Elon Musk’s significant investments and vocal support for Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign are set to pay off as the billionaire Tesla, SpaceX, and X/Twitter boss stands to gain from the president-elect’s second term in office. Business Insider reports that former President Donald Trump has reclaimed the White House, and one of his most prominent supporters, Elon Musk, is poised to reap the benefits. The billionaire entrepreneur, who heads companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink, and X (formerly Twitter), invested over $130 million in pro-Trump efforts throughout the campaign season.

McALLEN, Texas — Former President Donald Trump won all of the South Texas border counties on Tuesday night, further proving that Republican voters are increasing in this once-Democratic stronghold region. Trump beat Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the eight counties bordering Mexico from the Gulf of Mexico to the eastern side of the Big Bend region — a distance spanning over 400 miles. This includes the South Texas counties of Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, Zapata, Webb, Maverick, Kinney and Val Verde. Trump won Cameron County — a traditionally Democratic stronghold — by nearly 19,000 votes.

Donald Trump is projected to win the state of Arizona, clinching a major battleground state, according to Decision Desk HQ. Arizona is one of seven swing states that held the key to whether Trump or Vice President Harris returned to the White House. The Grand Canyon State went for Trump in 2016 by 3.5 points, but the former president narrowly lost it in 2020 against President Biden by just over a quarter of a percentage point. Trump has secured the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House following a roughly 100-day campaign between him and Harris. With the Arizona win

CBS News was largely dominated late Tuesday into Wednesday by out-of-touch, elitist tongue lashings toward Trump voters as too stupid to understand how the economy works, ABC News had takes of their own that, surprisingly, grew largely more and more sensible as the night wore on, creating a remarkable turn for a few hours by the network with the horribly biased and hostile newscasts, Good Morning America and World News Tonight.

Before the election I wondered if this would happen. After universal mail-out ballots had been curbed in some places for the 2024 election, and despite same-day registration and voting and even outlawing voter ID in California, would America have the same numbers of voters as 2020? Would they show back up? At this point, it looks as if there could be a significant reduction in Democrat voters from 2020 to 2024. Votes are still being tabulated, however. Some of these votes may reappear. Questions abound. Take a look at one of the graphs put out on X by ZeroHedge: t's a serious concern. Explanations poured in all day Wednesday

Americans didn't vote for Donald Trump because they wanted to "preserve norms," whatever that could possibly mean coming from the mouths of people who broke every political rule in the book to destroy him. Presented with as clear a choice as possible between the establishment and a crew determined to crush it, Americans were very clear: TEAR IT DOWN. Trump didn't run to be a modest correction to the status quo, and he didn't win because of any particular policy proposal. He won because a majority of Americans are disgusted by our establishment and how it has abused us.

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron warmly welcomed Donald Trump back to the White House, in the first message of congratulations from a major U.S. ally to the Republican candidate. The French president wrote on X he was “ready to work together” with Trump, “as [they] did during four years,” in a reference to the former U.S. president’s first term. Macron’s message was quickly followed by similar ones the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. On Wednesday morning in Europe, Trump was closing in on victory with the Republicans taking Pennsylvania and other key states.

In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, as they were waiting for the election workers in the so-called “blue wall” to tell them what they already knew, CNN’s Van Jones blamed sexism and racism for why Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President-elect Trump. “I am thinking about the people who are not a part of anybody's elite, who are hurting tonight,” he bloviated. Speaking as though he was delivering a sermon, Jones opined about how this election supposedly told black women that America rejected them, how they hoped Harris would essentially liberate them, and lamented how their hard work didn’t pay off:

Today is a day of despair, and it would be futile to tell those who fear and grieve for what is to come in America that they will be OK. It would also be dishonest: many of us, in truth, will not be OK. Donald Trump has decisively won the American election. He and his Republican allies have promised mass deportations that will ruin lives and sunder families; they have threatened to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and appoint the anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F Kennedy Jr to a position of authority on public health. They have pledged vast cuts to social security and Medicare, .

Sharpton took a shot at the American voter, attributing race and gender bias to Trump’s success. “Probably ‘shock’ would be the word for many at the Howard University party, and then ‘disbelief,'” he said about his view from being at the Harris’ election night event. “I think that is also what we’ve got to deal with —

Vice President Kamala Harris can still become the first female President of the United States of America — but only if President Joe Biden resigns. Harris lost decisively to former President Donald Trump — now president-elect Trump — on Tuesday, dashing hopes that a woman would finally break through the “glass ceiling” and reach the Oval Office. But she still can — if Biden follows through on a promise to be a “transitional” candidate, and steps aside for Harris. If he does not, Biden will have consigned Harris to the ignominious task of presiding over the Senate during the certification of Donald Trump’s victory over her on January 6.

Political pundits said his refusal to accept the mail-in-ballot-fraud-tainted 2020 election results made him an “insurrectionist” and a “dangerous threat to democracy.” Democrat prosecutors and judges threw his supporters in jail.

It stated: Even with the outcome uncertain Tuesday night, the 2024 presidential election already has exposed the depths of a fractured nation as the candidates navigated political shifts based on class, race and age under the near-constant threat of misinformation and violence.

JD Vance, R-Ohio, Trump’s running mate, said early Wednesday at the campaign’s victory party in West Palm Beach, Florida.
