    And yet all you right wingers now KNOW that Dirty Donald has a CHINESE BANK ACCOUNT and is actively pursuing business interests in CHINA. He paid more taxes in communist China than he paid in the USA????

    And another liberal pipes in with nothing but hate for Trump. If he's gone this leftist has no idea what to do or how to do it and sees no change in his life circumstances whatsoever.

    I was a Trump supporter early on, but yes, Trump is not good for America, so I am no Trump lover like you

    you mean like they are under Trump... corps have not stopped selling china goods and consumers have not stopped buying them under Trump

    It's very common to have in-country accounts to vastly speed up monetary exchanges. And common for other countries to have more stringent tax laws on foreign investments. We have a few such wrinkles the other countries aren't keen on, ourselves. Goes with the territory of trading. But what's your point, Captain CapsLock? Without links to read, how would we know ANY of what your overcapitalized, hyperdramatized post has alleged?

    No, but when that party enjoys super majority control, it becomes that parties petri dish. I will happily admit I am wrong if you can post one policy dems support in California, but oppose in other states.

    You should probably pull out of the stock market now because its propped up by stimulus spending that can't last forever. I could be wrong but we were at a peak and its probably not going up for a while. The gas prices will probably be down due to recession. I'll continue paying my rent and working from home. I'm rolling over some previous 401Ks to an IRA.

    I'll thank god that we now have an adult occupying the White House instead of a 74 year old man-child. Who calls others names and throws temper tantrums like a spoiled four year old brat who's parents forgot to teach him any manners. Someone who doesn't use third grade schoolyard bullying tactics and isn't a very thin skinned egotistical opportunist who only thinks of himself and his huge ego.

    Trump is going to lose not so much because of his policies, what he has or hasn't done as president. He's going to lose because of his very obnoxious, uncouth personality, his WWE mentality and persona instead of a presidential one. Speaking of being presidential, you can add his very unpresidential behavior to my list of reasons why he is going to lose. After four years of all the above grating on folks, a majority will say, enough is enough.

    Fair enough. Veeps and whom they replaced.

    Truman certainly had more guts and honesty than did FDR, on the positive side of that, and on the negative Gerald Ford disgraced my home state by pardoning Richard Nixon. It stank of a fix.

    Had Nixon's straightforward resignation been allowed to stand on its own, without that interference, would that Congress have simply dropped it without Ford's "help"? I contend history should have been allowed to see it all play out.

    My state (MA) is run by Dems and we are nothing like CA. We don’t have the high taxes CA has. We don’t have the homeless issues CA has. We haven’t signed a bill to end the sale of gas powered cars. I could go on but I think you get the point.

    Yeah I get it. You're more concerned with personality than policy.
    So in other words you'll celebrate but as to the OP what then? How will your life change once the object of your hate is gone?

    TWO-bedroom? So you split the rent and lower costs. Same for utilities, and that leaves more for food. Just starting out? Pro tip here --- buy a used car until you can AFFORD better. After you got the job, worked to show you could, and earned that needed wage-jump.

    I will hope that he packs his administration with the best and brightest people dedicated to making America great again.
    He can start nurturing the next generation of leaders by bringing them into his administration and giving them real-world experience while benefitting from their ideas. There is a lot of young talent out there who deserve to have a say in their future.

    It will basically be Obama 2.0.
    The stock market increased an average 12% per year while Obama was in office.
    I imagine well go back to a slow, but steady economy without all the theatrics and big swings of the Trump years,
    so basically, my life won't change that much.

    I will move more assets into solar firms, EV firms - a little less into defense firms.

    You can light your hair on fire and run around if you want to - but really, what for.

    Now if the Dems take both houses, yo can worry a bit more ...

    Its an example of what could happen to someone that would benefit from a democrat approved stimulus. Yes, a person could gain training in a new field, or start a business with said funds.

    There won't be many changes except that:

    - It will be the end of isolationism.

    - Ties will be rebuilt with our allies.

    - There will no longer be nepotism in the WH.

    - There will no longer be a President who pushes policies that benefit him personally.

    - Science will take precedence over the President's political aspirations.

    - The intelligence agencies and the FBI will be listened to and respected by the President.

    - The turnover rate of those close to the President will be well below 80%.

    - Loyalty will be less important in the hiring of senior officials than competence.

    - Democratic processes will no longer be undermined by POTUS.

    - The media will no longer be considered enemies of the people.

    - Conspiracy seekers will no longer have access to WH.

    - The President will be hated by the extreme right and armed militias.

    That's pretty much it.

    I don't hate. But as for my life, it hasn't changed whoever was president. It is basically the same under Trump as it was under Obama, under G.W., under Bill Clinton, Under G.H.W, under Reagan, under Carter, under Ford, under Nixon, under LBJ, under JFK, under IKE and Truman.

    I suppose I could blame LBJ for being drafted, but that ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me. That made me a lifelong military man, both active and working for the army as a Department of the Army Civilian. 46 years worth. I've said all along if Trump had the personality of a Reagan or a Bill Clinton or even an Obama, he'd be cruising to reelection. But he doesn't. This election is all about Trump, Biden is but a bit player. We'll find out in 2 weeks if I'm right.

    I think you vastly underestimate how Trump's, shall I say unique personality has affected people, especially independents. I think come November you'll find out how many folks don't like Trump's distasteful ways.

    Interesting. I am happy to hear you are not dealing with excessive taxes. You have a good public school system as well.

    I’ll do nothing.
    The POTUS is a relatively weak office, domestically speaking. There is Supreme Court and the senate. Democrats showed to us that every action of the POTUS could be challenged in courts at favorable jurisdictions. So, I don’t expect our lives to change that much. I do think Republicans will be as nasty to a democrat president as democrats were to Trump. In my opinion, loss of both chambers of congress and/or Supreme Court is a bigger deal than loosing presidency.

    If Biden wins he’ll probably face a strong prospect of impeachment, the Hunter scandal won’t just disappear. There is probably going to be a real probe on him and his son. I bet Kamala has a lot of dirt on her too, considering her known history, so if Biden steps down, she will be on a frying pan too.
