They are still counting ballots. It looks like Trump will have the similar number of votes he had in 2020. In contrast, Harris will have over 10 million, or about 13%, fewer votes.

Without having a way to deal with corruption, it is just inviting the troops to become corrupt as well.

Using the USA as a model, the federal military maintains the specialized units that don’t have a civilian use along with training the military leadership such that it can absorb a larger army.

Individual states have active reserve military units (national guard) that have both military and civilian use. For instance, a lot of disaster response activities in the USA is performed by the national guard under state control.

From that skeleton, the US military can then fill out other units in times of war.

My guess is that an EU military would follow that structure since it has been shown to work well and the union can’t rely on France to build and fund those specialty units by themselves.

He likely understands what a tariff is well enough. His problem is that he either doesn’t understand the implications or chooses not to communicate that part to voters.

There were photos comparing what Kamala Harris wore to Lisa Simpson and it kind of felt accurate.

Kamala laid out an ok plan and Biden pushed through legislation that helped working people, but it wasn’t enough to convince people to go to the polls. And I mention going to the polls because the turnout for 2024 was less than 2020. Both parties saw a reduction in absolute numbers, it just happened to be that Republicans saw a smaller drop.
