Again, all this was investigated exhaustively and no such foreign funding was found.

Trump, on the other hand, openly takes $millions directly from foreign governments at his golf clubs and hotels.

Also apparently $millions in bribes from Egypt, back in 2016.

Biden does not have a 401 in a Swiss bank account. Firstly, that would've been absolutely brought out in the Republican investigation into his and his family's finances--and it was never mentioned. Second, he's been a federal government employee for over fifty years, and the US Government doesn't bank with the Swiss. For government employees, they have completely different retirement accounts, not called a 401, (or a "401(k)") Next, Biden already gets a federal pension for his decades in Congress and being VP, and soon his pension for being President. He'll be pulling down hundreds of $thousands each year for the rest of his life, and never has to deal with the poor optics of having a foreign bank account.

Maybe you can share where you got that silly notion.

That wasn't weaponization of the Justice Department. Those were real crimes, and if anything they slow-walked those indictments against Trump, to the point that he now won't see the courtroom for any of those egregious offenses. Seriously. Boxes of government documents in his f***ing bathroom! Took over a year for the government to get them back--after a search warrant! And the crimes just keep rolling.

But yeah, with Gates running the DOJ, you can bet we'll see weaponization of the DOJ like never before. I can't even imagine the mess Hegseth will make at the DOD or Gabbard as the DNI. I guess Trump wants to "burn it all down."

Good profile. Nicely-lit photos, and the blurb is one of the better ones I've ever read on here. Not sure what's up with the crocodiles (caimans?)--that could be a conversation starter. The headline is a bit long, but that's alright. Lots of people leave the headline as the default "Hi.." which bugs me, so great work!

Anyway, from the photos and information, you seem like a good guy. Reminds me of one of my brothers-in-law. Lots of things to like, and I don't see anything wrong, here. 10/10. Again, great work!

Good luck!

It's an OK profile. The photos are weirdly-lit, the blurb is a mess, and you left the headline as the default "Hi.." It could use a little more work.

The main photo is dim and blurry, but still does an OK job of showing your face. The 3 pics showing you with a phone in front of your face are redundant. I guess you're trying to show off your muscle definition, but you could also do that while showing your face, too. At least lose the two darker ones, since they don't add anything to it. The blue pic of your face is nicely framed, but the blue tint makes it look like you're getting a medical treatment for a skin condition. Or, maybe you're trying hard to look artistic. I don't know.

Then the blurb and headline. Unless you're looking for the kind of woman who doesn't care about intelligence or conversation, you could correct the mess of a paragraph you've got. I mean, It's spelled correctly, but the lack of punctuation is disappointing. Or maybe it's just "hipster." Whatever. Bugs me. Maybe it'll work on the ladies you seek. The headline is where you could craft a few words--just a few, to make you stand out in search results.

Anyway, from the main pic, and the details you included, you seem alright, and many women don't even read the text, so you'll probably do alright. But for the sloppy text and photos that could be a lot better, I'd only rate it 6/10.

Good luck!

Helping with the transition is what presidents and presidential administrations have traditionally done. They're just trying to carry on the traditions and norms with decency. What's wrong with that?
presidentialtransition.org/reports-publications/2020-21-lessons-learned/

Both Harris and Trump had way fewer votes this time, so it's also the voters who didn't vote made the difference.

Good point. Billionaires like Musk and Thiel threw hundreds of $millions at the Trump campaign, and Trump's campaign, by itself, was a mess. The doddering old fool kept blabbering in his "speeches" and bitched and moaned about his gripes, but never really had a plan beyond tax cuts and eliminating government regulations. So we can expect that their businesses will be left unregulated while the national debt balloons like never before.

Thanks. Not gonna lie. I'm in a dark mood. I have little respect for Trump after all his criminality and He hasn't shown any signs that he's changed his ways.

The only bright spot of this is that I know a lot of Republicans and most of them are happy that Trump won, so I'm happy for them, and most of them haven't been gloating about this. I do hope that Trump isn't as bad as I fear. In the meantime, I guess it's just back to work and family and whatever else. I'll get through it; It's not that bad.

Creating a new thread to cover this, since nobody else did, and it's a pet peeve of mine when people change the subject of threads to talk about something new:

Donald Trump wins 2nd term in historic return to White House
abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-wins-2nd-term-historic-return-white/story?id=115358710

The biggest thing I see in the election results is that the Democrat got about 14 million fewer votes than the last candidate. Too many Democrats staying home, having forgotten what a disaster Trump was last time.

What do you think?

By "straighten up" I mean refrain from bombing neighborhoods with 1-ton free-fall bombs & let the people of Gaza have food and water, and medical care. Starving and bombing a whole population doesn't look like the answer to me. But, yeah, if you want to slaughter a whole population, then Trump's your guy. And you're right that world peace isn't a thing, anymore. We haven't had it in my lifetime. It wasn't peaceful under Trump, even if he didn't start new hot wars, he still ordered military strikes. He wanted to nuke a hurricane--shows how nutty he is. Now he's only talking about letting Russia and Israel do "whatever the hell they like" and let RFK Jr. run things, after Donald pardons himself and takes off to play golf, apparently.
abcnews.go.com/Politics/rfk-jr-trump-promised-control-public-health-agencies/story?id=115303649

World peace is different now, under Biden than it was under Trump, but Biden is handling it better. He's not picking fights with Iraq, and he did pull US troops out of Afghanistan, despite Pompeo's disastrous negotiations with the Taliban. Sure, things look bad between Israel and Iran, but that's because of Netanyahu's incompetence and belligerence meeting Palestinian violence. I agree that the US isn't doing everything right, and should cut off arms shipments to Israel until they straighten up regarding their war crimes.

And while the US traded Viktor Bout ("The Bill Gates of Arms Trafficking") for Brittney Griner, Bout was never a top general. He's barely a terrorist--just sold weapons to terrorist organizations. Business. Since he's been released, he's become a Russian politician.

Oh please. The world wasn't peaceful under Trump. He didn't even pull the US out of Afghanistan. He sent dozens of cruise missiles into Syria, and ordered the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, which got Iran to retaliate by bombing a US base in Iraq. Dozens of US troops, there, suffered TBIs as a result. While negotiating to release a few American prisoners abroad, he released 2500 Taliban combatants in return, which helped topple the Provisional Afghan Government when the US pulled out. Yeah, such a smart businessman, there.

Truth Be Told: No new wars but no global peace during Trump years

Changing the subject is what they do when they don't like the topic. Trump is clearly the criminal being discussed, and yet Toodygirl5 wants to bring up an old story from 2020. She's posted that link before, too. Funny thing is that Biden wasn't the president back when that happened--he only got into office in 2021. So why was Bill Barr blocking investigation into Hunter's laptop? Maybe it would've led back to Trump. Trump is such a criminal. Such a stupid, stupid criminal.

I'm not surprised/worried about the ABC News exec having ties to Harris any more than I'm worried about Fox News execs and talent having ties to Trump. Which is to say I'm neither surprised nor worried about it. Those are people running those networks, and people have their own feelings and beliefs. At least ABC News doesn't give blanket coverage to Harris over Trump, like the inverse happens over at Fox.

And from the article:

Trump doesn't have strength or wisdom. He has chaos. He doesn't command respect, but rather fear of his nonsense. Corrupt states like Russia & Egypt know they can simply bribe Trump and get favorable conditions. That's why Putin promised Trump Tower Moscow and Egypt simply paid Trump $10 million cash.

Photographer's Theory On Donald Trump's Increasingly Bizarre Bronzer Is Pretty Bleak (But Spot-On)

"When [Donald] Trump was up in the polls and a victory was all but certain, the bronzer was not," photographer Emily Keegin pointed out to her Instagram followers. Now, she adds, his face is grotesquely dark, as though he'd fallen asleep in the tanning salon and left the machine running.

No, as a spaceflight enthusiast, I follow NASA and all the current spaceflight issues closely, and even listened in on the NASA news conferences when they discussed the progress of the investigations. You can, too. It's free.

"For the unversed, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams are not technically stuck, nor are they alone. They are safe on the International Space Station (ISS), which is appropriately equipped and stocked with essentials."

What "facts" do you think I twisted?

Ashli Babbitt was only one shot that day, but to say that's the only violence is grossly wrong. The police officers defending the capitol were beaten, gassed, tazed, & even stabbed. Almost 140 officers suffered severe injuries, including TBIs, broken bones, and one losing an eye. It's disgusting that the guy who commanded that is running for president.

And it's telling that Republicans cannot show trans women "taking over women's sports" and instead promising a vague dystopian future where they do, as opposed to just more inclusive sporting events.
