Trump's Second Term

Tero said:
Never did the Founding Fathers imagine the president would have all the powers and no checks and balances and then would proceed to destroy everything. That was not even worth the effort in 1800. The dollar was not worth much and there were no Trump Towers to put up.

How Trump Plans to Seize the Power of the Purse From Congress

The second-term president likely will seek to cut off spending that lawmakers have already appropriated, setting off a constitutional struggle within the branches. If successful, he could wield the power to punish perceived foes.

It's ok. I've been assured by supporters of The Party that this isn't going to be a dictatorship.
 

James Carville: 'Trump Won't Last Four Years. He's a Fat, Sick, Old Man'​

James Carville: 'Trump Won't Last Four Years. He's a Fat, Sick, Old Man'

The DNC is 'irrelevant ◊◊◊◊,' the legendary strategist told a shellshocked Hollywood crowd: 'Understand we have no power . . . we lost the Senate, we lost the Presidency'

Longevity​

In January 2024, Dr. Jay Olshansky gave Donald Trump less than a 75% chance of living through a second term based on publicly available information about his health.

Me: I would give him about a year. He will have some health cirisis that will happen before 2026 election.
 
Contrast Trumps Thanksgiving message with Biden's

"With hearts full of gratitude: Happy Thanksgiving, America.

Jill and I are so grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us these past four years – serving you has been the honor of our lives"

Didn't realise there was a video.
I typed "Contrast Trumps Thanksgiving message with Biden's"

Don't know how his name got changed. I fixed it.
 
What's the over/under on trump bothering with placing his financial interest in a 'blind' trust this time around?
 
Trump is making mutterings about not imposing tariffs on Mexico after claiming he got the Mexican President to close the border. The Mexican President tells completely different story (after chewing him an owning his ass in a public statement) of course but Trump always thinks he looks tough when he lies.

He is once again going to inherit a growing economy and will jump in front of the parade and pretend he is leading it.
 
So . . . the anti-woke president-elect posted a video of himself dancing to a gay anthem and the anti-woke VP posted a picture of himself in a dress? Did I get that right?

Is there somewhere that we're supposed to report glitches in the matrix?

I suspect it's simply people without a sense of humor attempting to simulate having a sense of humor.
 
Mark Zuckerberg had a private meeting with Donald Trump this afternoon, NYT reports.

Elon will be spitting feathers!
 
My own prediction (not based anything but pure speculation):

At his State of the Union Address in February, Trump will invite one specific group to sit in the gallery as his guests:

Felons released from prison on pardons from Trump for the crimes they committed during the Jan. 6 insurrection. They will literally return to the scene of their crime, to be protected by the Capitol police.

I hope the Capitol police go on strike that day.
 
MAGA is claiming that the tariff threat has forced Mexico to stop migrant caravans. It's a complete lie, but there it is. I believe this is a Trump excuse to not impose tariffs, by declaring victory. President of Mexico made no such announcement about caravans.

No, I'm sure migrant caravans is a Mexican policy their government can just decide to stop at any moment. Just like how the US president has levers in his office controlling inflation and gas prices.

I do think they are stupid. I've often said so before and I stand by that. If they can't see what a truly disgusting POS he is after almost 10 years, then they are either stupid or LIKE the disgusting things he says and does. Either way, that makes them stupid.
 
When the term starts, Trump will try to wrestle everything for himself. He will then at some point say that "I am the government." He cannot be charged with treason anymore. Because it would be against himself.
 
Donald Trump Threatens BRICS Countries—Including Russia, India—With 100% Tariffs
Click to expand...
I don't believe I've ever heard of the BRICS block of countries before.
BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprising nine countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.

I understand there was some talk about creating their own monetary unit as a group, rather than depending on the US dollar. That's why the threat.
And he still doesn't understand tariffs.

The president of Brazil has advocated for a common currency. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of enthusiasm amongst the other countries. It's hard to imagine China, India, and Russia trusting each other enough.
 
Trump post on his FBI pick

@real Donald Trump
I am proud to announce that Kashyap "Kash" Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and "America First" fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People. He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution. Kash did an incredible job during my First Term, where he served as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council. Kash has also tried over 60 jury trials. This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border. Kash will work under our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI.

CBS News recently reported on Springfield Ohio.
Ketlie Moise fled unspeakable violence in her homeland of Haiti hoping to find peace and a slice of the American dream, settling in Springfield, Ohio....Moise, like most fellow Haitians in Springfield, is here legally through Temporary Protected Status...The TPS program allows federal officials to grant deportation relief and work authorization to migrants from countries beset by war, environmental disaster or another "extraordinary" crisis. CBS News report

Former President Donald Trump has promised to revoke the legal immigration status of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, and deport them back to Haiti when he returns to the White House.
"I'm scared because my business in Haiti was bombed, I lost my mom," Moise told CBS News. "Someone come in the business, they shoot my mom with a gun, bomb my business…If I get deportation to go back to Haiti, for me especially, I'm going to die, I'm going to be dead.
