The 47th President Elect 2025

[GMB]

I read the Beano ( from the esteemed DC Thomson of Dundee ) for years, a very influential and erudite publication.  I had to cancel my subs recently due to the budget cuts.

Even Private Eye made multiple references to it when they published Lord Snooty and his pals' diary AKA David Cameron and gov't amongst others such as Gnasher and Dennis the menace.

The last bit I should not have written though as it is uncalled for.

"I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” 

Attributed to Voltaire but actually may have been yet another contribution from the English to free speech - Evelyn Beatrice Hall. 👍

Don't really know, most things designed for kids are beyond my understanding.

Well, against all the odds the now confirmed 47th President Elect, Donald J Trump has prevailed. This has been an extraordinary achievement in electoral history. Having settled one question, can he win, to, now what? For me I am intrigued to see how he might affect the automotive world. Might his belief in energy independence over there end up over here I wonder? It certainly could be positive for the ICE world. 

Will He Once Again Cancel all The Money going in to Preserve The planet From Global Warming..Because If he Does it Will have The most Devastating Catastophic Destruction of the Planet..Unless we get a handle on Global Warming None of us Will be Alive On This Planet...That's the Reality..!!!!

The only consistent for me is popcorn. 

🍿🍿 🍿

Popcorn to watch otherwise sensible people losing their heads at another nation’s democratic election results.

Popcorn for those claiming only “cis, white, straight, non-disabled men” are safe under Trump (huge Trump gains amongst women, Hispanics, blacks etc. all ignored in their blinkered reality, and where 1 in 5 LGBT voters voted Trump too)

and yes, popcorn for the next 4 years, as a Trump is rather unpredictable.

More people in the USA thought he was a better President than the other option, and for many, sadly, tolerance of people having different views has sadly disappeared.

That lack of tolerance, losers consent, acceptance that people have different views - this poses a far greater danger to our society than Trump ever would (and yes that applies to Trump & and his supporters in 2020 too!).

The current crop were having a go at him only the other day so colour any relation GONE. I don't care for the guy in some respects, but I suspect he will be more tax and business friendly than Harris would have been. Now working out to make some money off that.

Exactly..!!!
