It's amazing that Trump did something most thought was impossible. He beat the duopoly. He's basically leading third party that won in a system that doesn't allow a third party so he had to hijack one of them. The Republicans and Democrats are basically two corporate parties. The Republicans were always corporate and the Democrats were labor but abandoned them and became a competing corporate party in the Clinton years.
Trump has decapitated the Republicans and had decimated the Democrats and created a populist movement that has even broader appeal in 2024. I'm not sure that's a bad thing if you can separate yourself from the person Trump. Does the US need some racial change? It might. In corporations, in taxes, in food etc....
IF Trump stays within the constitutional republic, there may be some good changes and then what do the Democrats do? If the Democrats yell that Trump is a threat to democracy and he simply walks away in 2028, then what do they say?

These are my favourite posts. "But what if Trump actually does good stuff!?" The delusion is just so heavy I can't help but smile a little, in between sobs.

sure but if you're the Democrats you have to plan for that, unless they're just going to keep yelling.

Trump will do good for himself, his family, and his rich friends. In 2016, I recall asking a friend, "what on earth makes you think he understands how you are struggling from payday to payday or any other fear you are facing?" After 2 years, my friend indicted I have been correct. What Trump has is a sociopath's ability to make his followers believe everything he says. And a party with no balls to stand up to him and kick the bully down. Good luck with that.

That "committee" is outside of the government though. I seriously doubt she'd make it through confirmation. And you wonder now how many more of these horrific picks won't even make it to hearings so as to not suffer the humiliation of getting voted down. Which would be a shame, rubber stamped hearings are boring, I wanna hear RFK talk about killing that bear and beheading that whale on the record.

This is why I don't get fussed about Trump doing what he does. He only selects the most inept people who are boot lickers. Sure, one or two of them might stick around and do some damage, but it won't be long term.

Oh they'll make it through confirmation. Trump will make sure of that. Don't forget he was successful in defeating the bi-partisan border bill by bullying Congress. And he wasn't even an elected officials then. How the GOP gave into him was a sure sign they are all pansies. Astounding to me.

I wonder what the average tenure of his appointees was in the first term. Seems like there was an insane amount of turnover with no one lasting very long. I wonder why that is…
So far, his AG is at negative 60 days. What’s the over/under on his Defence Secretary?
