Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Russian official Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, suggested Donald Trump’s election victory may benefit Russia’s interests in Ukraine, citing Trump’s reluctance to fund “idiotic allies” and “voracious international organizations.”

Although Medvedev stopped short of celebrating, he hinted Trump’s aversion to foreign spending could weaken U.S. support for Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautiously congratulated Trump, recalling their recent discussion on U.S.-Ukraine cooperation.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov maintained a guarded tone, noting the U.S. remains an “unfriendly country” involved in the Ukraine conflict.

Where are the other 20million voters that didn’t show?

At home. Too lazy to do anything.

I was playing Catan online yesterday as the results were coming out, I asked the chat if anyone was from the US. Out of 4 players, 2 where from the us and one didn’t bother to go vote. I was shocked. He didn’t even have a good excuse.

That should tell you everything you need to know.

Trump didn’t win…It’s the people that failed to show up.

Stop being in denial. It's not like 100% of those who didn't vote would've voted democrat. They didn't care to vote, so they could've voted for either side cuz they clearly don't have a strong preference.

Trump won and won even the popular vote. And you are still crying "stolen election".

I will just start off by saying I’m not a US citizen.

Second, I never cried out “stolen election” but you clearly sound like a MAGA supporter so I won’t waste too much of my time on you.

All I said was people didn’t show up to vote. I cannot believe people don’t make the effort to go vote in your country.

Good luck with your future. And I don’t want to sound sarcastic, I’m being honest. Good luck
