Axios @axios Trump will begin operations to deport millions of undocumented immigrants when he starts his term, campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday morning.
He'll launch the "largest mass deportation operation" of undocumented immigrants on Day 1.
Judging from the percentages to date, it should come in at Gallego 1,846,351 (51.5%) Lake 1,734,224 (48.4%). Which is at near enough 52% vs 48%. The Devil's ratio
But unlike the first time, this election he got REALLY wrong.
He needs an extra key - the one where hornery Americans want to lash out at the guys who got them over a crisis, even though by doing so it will tip them into an even bigger disaster.
Comparing the (not quite confirmed) numbers, it looks as though Harris got a similar total vote to candidates pre-Biden.
Whatever his faults, Biden 2020 was a historically popular Democratic candidate, winning a huge vote total. Makes you wonder what might have been, had he run in 2016.
It seems to be my job on the internet to inform Americans that California has only counted 58% of its votes so far, because a lot of them are asking why so many votes are "missing" compared to 2020.
Paul Mason @paulmasonnews · 2h German govt looks to have collapsed. The whole project killed by the debt brake, which needs to be ditched asap before it drags Europe into the fate of a second Weimar.
Wow. For the first time I agree with Paul Mason. The debt brake is insanity. Regierender Wahnsinn. Germany's population is ageing rapidly, and has low home ownership. That means it has a very high propensity to save, and its chronic under-consumption and oversaving (see its huge and disruptive trade surpluses year after year) are the results. So government needs to run deficits for the sake of global stability. Before the euro it didn't matter as much: they just up-valued the D-mark every year. Now they don't have that safety valve with most of the rest of Europe.
Not that I think it will lead to a Fourth Reich, but the Germans do need to learn some basic macroeconomics at some point. As Paul Krugman said, Germany is on a completely different macro planet from everybody else. Just as our government needs to learn some elementary Micro.
The Greeks had a point about this, as did the Eurosceptics. Even George Osborne's Plan A austerity might have worked were it not for Germany locking down Europe.

If Florida can have all of the votes counted and the result declared in comfortably under three hours, there’s no reason that the rest of the States can’t do the same.
Thankfully the results of the high-profile Federal elections are certain, so we’re not going to have the weeks of chaos and uncertainty we saw in the aftermath of 2020 and 2016.
Musk has been talking up how effective he thinks Trump, Vance and him going on all these podcasts were, particularly the really long ones.
This is the new Hillary should have visited Wisconsin. Not going on Rogan didn't lose (likely made little difference); running as an incumbent did.
Boris ran not as an incumbent but against Cameron and May and won a landslide (not that it did him much good in the end). Someone should buy Kamala Unleashed for Christmas. (The Telegraph suggested Boris was ejected from Channel 4's election coverage for continually plugging his book rather than talk about America. Cynics wonder if he'd only signed up for a couple of hours anyway.)
A gracious concession speech from Mrs Harris by the way, now the US Democratic Party has the same job to do as the UK Conservative Party, of reforming themselves under new leadership, understanding why they failed on this occasion, and how they might work towards getting elected again in future.
If they all want a hint, it’s not that the electorate are a basket of deplorables or a pile of garbage, but that there’s a lot more votes to be found in the centre than on the extremes of political opinion, and with a positive vision for the future.
The US Dems need to cut back on the extreme wokery, and the UK Tories need to challenge Labour and LD more than Farage and Reform.
Sounds like Germany might be next up for an election, and somewhat earlier than scheduled.
Olaf Scholz and finance minister Christian Lindner have fallen out over a growth plan, and the latter has been fired. Lindner wanted tax cuts and a delay to “net zero” targets to stimulate the economy.

Then who you gonna deport, Donald?
Otherwise, America's vast mountain of shitty little jobs are going to have to start being done by the documented.
You know - white folk....
