    “we are now winning in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada and Alaska, which would result in us carrying at least 315 electoral votes. But that, but it’s much easier doing what the networks did or whoever called it, because there was no other path. There was no other path to victory. We also have won the popular vote, that was great”

    “the number of victories in the Senate was absolutely incredible and we did tele-rallies, we did tele-rallies with each one of them, and sometimes we did two or three for, and it was amazing to look at all of those victories. Nobody expected that. Nobody.”

    “And I want to thank Mike Johnson, I think he’s doing a terrific job. Terrific job…” (Mike Johnson is who he said he has a little secret with and is Speaker of the house, and the house will decide, if Trump is found to have committed election fraud, if he should still be president).

    “Oh, let me tell you, we have a new star. A star is born, Elon. No, he is. Now he’s an amazing guy. We were sitting together tonight. You know, he spent two weeks in Philadelphia and different parts of Pennsylvania campaigning. You know, he sent the rocket up two weeks ago and I saw that rocket and I saw it coming down. I saw it. It was when it left. It was beautiful, shiny white. When it came down, it didn’t look so pretty. It was going 10,000 miles an hour and it was burning like hell. I said, ‘What happened to your paint job?’ He said, ‘We’ve never made a paint that could withstand that kind of heat.’ And, but I saw it come down and turn around. And it was, you know, it’s like 22 stories still, by the way, it looks a little smaller than that, but it’s big. And it came down and down and you saw that fire burning and. And I’m saying only Elon could do this. It must be an Elon.” (he means Elon stole the election with Starlink and he loves them now)

    “And you know, when we had the tragic Hurricane Helene. And it hit it, particularly it hit North Carolina. They were really devastated. The water. This was big water. As big as we’ve ever seen, water hurricane. It built lakes out of nothing, fields became lakes. And the danger was unbelievable. And the people from North Carolina came to me and they said, ‘Would it be possible at all possible for you to speak to Elon Musk, we need Starlink.’ I said, ‘What’s Starlink?’ It’s a form of communication. So I called Elon. And I’ll tell you what he had, and it was very dangerous. People would die. They had no communication. All the wires were down. I called Elon Musk. I said, ‘Elon, you have something called Starlink. Is that right?’ ‘Yes, I do.’ ‘What the hell is it?’ He said, ‘It’s a communication system that’s very good.’ I said, ‘Elon, they need it really, really badly in North Carolina.’ He got that there so fast. It was incredible.”

    “And we also have a man, Dana White, who has done some job. He’s a tough guy.” (Dana was Joe Rogans source about Elon’s app)

    Dana White: " I want to thank the boys Adin Ross, Theo Von, Bussin’ with the Boys. And last but not least, the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan. And thank you, America. Thank you. Have a good night."

    Trump: “We have more liquid gold, oil and gas. We have more liquid gold than any country in the world. More than Saudi Arabia. We have more than Russia.”

    “They said, ‘He will start a war.’ I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars. But this is also a massive victory for democracy and for freedom. Together, we’re going to unlock America’s glorious destiny. We’re going to achieve the most incredible future for our people.”

    "Yesterday, as I stood at my last stop on the campaign trail, I’ll never be doing a rally again, can you believe it? I think we’ve done 900 rallies approximately from. Can you imagine? 900, 901 or something. A lot of rallies. And it was sad. Everybody was sad. Many people. I said, ‘This is our last rally,’ but now we’re going on to something that’s far more important because the rallies were used for us to put, be put in this position where we can really help our country.

    I think what a lot of Americans don’t want to admit, as imperialists, is that our relatively good quality of life was because we grave robbed and enslaved people for it.

    When people say that there’s economic booms after wars - that’s not like, from no where. That’s from all the dead bodies and looted countries. We sifted through pockets and took their change. And that’s not better for growth or the economy than just keeping everyone alive btw - it is far superior to just keep everyone alive, educated, and fed and they will produce goods for the economy without sacrificing local people (eg Irish potato famine). Like healthy societies don’t engage in war.

    Got called a shill because I said that Bill Clinton (who someone else brought up in the thread) sexually assaulted Monica Lewinsky because their relationships was a clear abuse of power; it wasn’t consensual cheating due to the power differences in age, jobs, he was her employer, the president of the country, etc. And boy did the guys come out in full defense of Clinton, the man who rode on Epstein’s plane, while screaming at me that I need therapy for bringing this up and being upset about it, and this will cost Kamala the election. Nevermind current victims or court proceedings or the public’s right to know what their president was raping during his presidency.

    Further, she was a prosecutor. Had she run on Epstein/Diddy “I will be tough on these sex traffickers, including Trump and Clinton,” she would have won. Unfortunately, she ran on “not Trump.” That’s like telling a person to not think of a bear.

    Lol right? Let’s stop pretending sexual assault or even pedophilia allegations do ANY HARM when the FUCKING PRESIDENT IS ONE. Let’s stop silencing victims’ stories of abuse out of concern for their abuser since it doesn’t matter anyway, it doesn’t hurt the perpetrator clearly, and just helps the victim to let them share. It also helps other victims be informed. I’m so fucking done with that line of speech now.

    Lol we don’t have years. AMOC collapse is here and you all are defunding NOAA. What type of climate change related disaster do you think you’ll die from? A flood like in Spain, Bogota, Japan, North Carolina? A hurricane like in Cuba and Florida? A volcano or earthquake (and yes those are getting worse due to climate change)? Maybe a polar vortex freeze, a tornado, or a forest fire? Perhaps just simple extreme heat? Who knows? I can’t wait to find out tbh :)
