You may be the most politically ignorant person to ever post here.
It is the democrats who are a cult. They align 100% on almost anything and everything. They circle the wagons like none other. Do I even need to note the cultist leftist media. These people will literally say the same thing on every “news” (propaganda) outlet. Even using the exact same words and phrases. Whereas the republicans are in a constant battle from differences within the party. Look at how the tea party was treated. Hell look how Trump was treated by his own party. Wise up. |

One change I would make to SS is to give widows/widowers their spouses benefits.
Slashing their finances by 50% can't possibly have a positive outcome. Probably not popular among all you investment gurus who started buying stock at age 11 with paper route money, but many of us still live check to check. My parents did. My dad had a teacher's retirement fund that stopped paying when he passed. |

For better or worse, the upcoming election is essentially all Trump's responsibility now that his people are running the RNC.
I'm sure this will result in a huge red wave of conservative Republicans winning elections all across the country. |

That would be excellent. But I sense sarcasm and you probably would rather see the opposite results.

I didn’t know that Trump would be hiring those republicans who would win elections all across the country. I always thought that the voters did that.

I meant who he 'hires' for the RNC, not other Republican candidates. Those people working at the RNC control which Republicans across the country get assistance.

No doubt that the RNC has been a shitshow for a few years despite Trump-endorsed Ronna's best efforts. And some people wonder why I have concerns about Trump's hiring/endorsement decisions.

Trump's hiring picks are often times dismal. One wonders who he is getting his advice from. By this time, Trump should recognize that he is deficient in that area, and agree to let a trusted team of advisors make the selections. His previous advisors, McConnell, et al, certainly let him down. And I wouldn't be so quick to trust the Federalist Society for judicial picks. Found out today that Rod Rosenstein is a Federalist Society member. I'd select Steve Bannon, Steven Miller, Rand Paul, Tom Fitton, and a select few others who I have trust in, to steer Trump to appointees that will work for his populist agenda, vs. sandbagging it. Will he recognize his own weakness this go round? I don't know. I've just got to hope he does. He certainly understands that this time, there is no coming together, or dealmaking, or winning converts to his pro-America policies. It's simply going to be a battle from day one, Trump against the the entire government bureaucracy. We all understand that now. I want to see Trump nationalize the D.C. jail, bring in his own guards, and replace the J6 hostages with all the people that conspired to put them there, and include the guards and staff that tortured the J6 people. Put them all in the exact same Hell hole, staffed by tortured former J6 hostages. Personally, I think a good litmus test for his hires ought to be choosing from J6 hostages, and other hostages, or soon to be hostages, like Peter Navarro. If the uniparty attacked them and they remained unbuckled, not only are they trustworthy, but they're also highly motivated to go in and attack the swamp And since we're just about over the fiscal cliff, I trust Trump to negotiate the best deal for our debt restructuring/bankruptcy, since he has experience in those areas. Hopefully, we don't experience the horrible collapse that the Soviet Union experienced when THEY ran out of money. |

Everything he does will be a fight against literally the entire government. We know that going into it. If Trump promoted a proclamation that says that America loves puppies and kittens, the uniparty would take it to court to fight. That's literally where we are at, we just didn't fully understand that before. Now we know. |

No. By that metric, Trump should be endorsing Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi. He needs a Congress of people who will be willing to pass legislation that is pro-America. He needs a Congress that won't keep funding bullshit wars in the Ukraine and Israel. He needs help from Congress, help he didn't get his first go-round, precisely because the Congress was full of people like Paul Ryan, Cocaine Mitch, and other who were sandbagging him at literally EVERY turn.
I don't expect to get a MAGA controlled Congress, even if R's take both chambers. There's a yuge difference. And shitty endorsements like this are certainly part of the reason that's the way it will be. |
