Trump's Second Term

Trump is actually very smart in keeping up talk about running for a third term: a 2nd term President is a Lame Duck the moment he is sworn in. Everyone knows that it is time to look for a successor.
By planning for a 3rd term, Trump is keeping Vance and every other wannabee in check.

DEI


JD Vance
@JDVance
A lot of people think "DEI" is lame diversity seminars or racial slogans at NFL games. In reality, it was a deliberate program of discrimination primarily against white men. This is an incredible piece that describes the evil of DEI and its consequences

Be fair, you only have to look at Trump's White House or the Republican Party in the House and Senate to see how comprehensively white men have been locked out of positions of power.
 
Republicans defy Speaker Mike Johnson to force House vote on extending ACA subsidies
Politics Updated on Dec 17, 2025 11:12 AM EST — Published on Dec 17, 2025 10:50 AM EST
WASHINGTON (AP) — Four centrist Republicans broke with Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday and signed onto a Democratic-led petition that will force a House vote on extending for three years an enhanced pandemic-era subsidy that lowers health insurance costs for millions of Americans.

The stunning move comes after House Republican leaders pushed ahead with a health care bill that does not address the soaring monthly premiums that millions of people will soon endure as the tax credits for those who buy insurance through the Affordable Care Act expire at year’s end.
Fitzpatrick and Lawler tried to add a temporary extension of the subsidies to the bill, but were denied.

“Our only request was a floor vote on this compromise, so that the American People’s voice could be heard on this issue. That request was rejected. Then, at the request of House leadership I, along with my colleagues, filed multiple amendments, and testified at length to those amendments,” Fitzpatrick said. “House leadership then decided to reject every single one of these amendments.

“As I’ve stated many times before, the only policy that is worse than a clean three-year extension without any reforms, is a policy of complete expiration without any bridge,” Fitzpatrick said.

That's one of those lines they simply can't cross. All his sycophants know it's a golden rule, never, ever say he lost 2020.

While he wriggled out of saying "Yes, he lost" we can take comfort from the fact he could not answer "No, he won". He does know Trump lost. They all know perfectly well that Trump lost fair and square, they just know they'll be fired if they admit it.

They'll realise that calibri has been used on the cheques, instead of times new roman, and they do not want to insult the soldiers by sending them such offensively woke money, so they will use it to pay for some extra gold ornaments in the oval office instead. The soldiers will surely agree that this is the best way of handling this delicate matter.

My guess is that they know that TACO also lost in 2024 if the votes were counted fairly.
 
The vote count claimed is not accurate. I can't get any better data on this, but no votes Thu and Fri.

HUGE BREAKING: Mike Johnson SHUT DOWN the discharge petition vote EARLY on Obamacare subsidies before all Democrats could vote, so the vote failed by ONE vote. 😲 There is CHAOS on the House floor as Democrats fight to represent voters who will DIE without affordable healthcare. This is literally CRIMINAL. Send Mike Johnson to the F**KING HAGUE.

Vote will be in January after subsidies have expired.
