An #AI generated text and image from yesterday's news:

The National People's Power coalition in Sri Lanka, led by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, has secured a supermajority in the recent snap parliamentary elections, reflecting strong public support. This victory empowers the coalition to implement policies and tackle national challenges, underscoring active citizen participation in democracy for a hopeful future.

My #wishes for #2025 (not that I think any of this will come true):

1.
#KamalaHarris is sworn-in as the 47th #POTUS.
2.
#Democrats get a #SuperMajority in the #House and #Senate
3. Democrats use their Super Majority to admit
#PuertoRico and #DC as the 51st and 52nd State.
4. The
#SCOTUS is expanded from 9 justices to 13 justices, with the 4 new justices being all liberal.
5.
#RoeVWade is codified into law.
6.
#QualifiedImmunity is outlawed.
7. Donald
#Trump and his entire family is imprisoned.
8. Elon
#Musk has his citizenship revoked and is deported back to South Africa

One can wish, can't they?

When speaking to supporters from the swing state, where both #Trump & VP #KamalaHarris have doubled efforts to capture the #election count in Nov, Trump lamented the criticism aimed at #SCOTUS#conservative #supermajority & said it should be “illegal.”

“They were very brave, the #SupremeCourt. Very brave. And they take a lot of hits because of it,” Trump said. “It should be illegal, what happens.“
