4D Chess: Democrats Admit Trump Actually Won In 2020 And Is Now Unable To Serve Third Term [...] In a shrewd move, Democratic Party leaders finally disclosed that Trump had, in fact, won the 2020 election against Joe Biden and has been the rightful president this whole time, rendering him term-limited and unable to take office in January. "Yeah, he actually won a second term in 2020. Sorry about that," said Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. "It's a real shame he already served two terms. Unfortunately, that means he wasn't eligible to run again, which nullifies Tuesday night's election.

Nation Excited To Have President Again For First Time In 4 Years U.S. — The results of a new Gallup poll reveal Americans are excited to finally have a new president for the first time in four years. According to the poll, many Americans decided that having no President for the last 4 years was a terrible idea in retrospect. "Whose idea was that anyway?" asked one citizen who was interviewed. "I think I like having a President in office better than having no President. That's just my personal opinion." https://babylonbee.com/news/nation-excited-to-have-president-again-for-first-time-in-4-years

True examples of psychotic behavior. It's hard to believe that such people exist... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ This election has witnessed the rise of the harpies and other broken women [...] we've never before had a parade of crazy like the one that's swept social media since Kamala, a uniquely bad candidate who campaigned for only 107 days, lost decisively to Trump. What the heck is going on? I'm old enough to remember pre-third-wave feminism, when women demanded full civil rights and equal pay and opportunities for their skills and abilities. They argued that, just like men, they were strong and rational creatures. Heck, they weren't just strong and rational; they were strong and invincible. These women didn't cry. They burned their bras and demanded their rights. Today's feminists...not so much: [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/11/this_election_has_witnessed_the_rise_of_the_harpies_and_other_broken_women.html

With Trump's Victory, Schools Offer 'Post-Election Wellness Spaces' In hindsight, Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy saw it coming. As I reported Monday, the school set up a "Self-Care Suite" for students the day after the election, offering opportunities to play with Legos, color with crayons, and eat milk and cookies "in recognition of these stressful times." Stressful times, indeed. This is the Kamala Harris demographic, and the school's administration understood that its student body would need help adjusting to the fact that Donald Trump would soon be their next president. But Georgetown is hardly an outlier. Across the country, university professors and students took what amounted to a national mental health day as the news of Trump's victory sunk [sic] in.
