America has spoken
So as the title suggests, the US election is over and the votes have been cast.
72,652,827 votes cast 50.8% of the vote went to Trump
This from a man who has been found guilty of 34 counts of felony charges of falsified business accounts
(ie) fraud
Been found guilty of sexual abuse (abet only in a civil court) however compensation will have to be paid in millions to the woman concerned.
During his first term in office he was found have made (fact checkers documented) 30,573 false or misleading claims anywhere between 6 to 21 per day depending on where you read.
Can someone over the pond explain to me why this man was even allowed to stand and run as President

Re: America has spoken
I don't think the Constitution says felons can't run. But I could be wrong, and there might be some language in there. The founding fathers had faith in future generations and didn't think they had to spell out every possible scenario.

Clicks are his superpower. I won't be clicking any for a while. Journalism failed. The bot armies have receded from X and Reddit and people should be feeling stupid about engaging with them.

The Constitution is even vague about what is treason. That is why we are suppose to have a Supreme Court that defines this stuff. Based in facts; not emotions. Sometimes does not (ie Dread Scott).

He did tax cuts for the rich. This is like having a genie in a bottle that grants infinite wishes.
