EmmetK Posted Saturday at 03:02 PM Author Posted Saturday at 03:02 PM Did you expect trump appointments to be guided by DEI and identity politics like Biden's appointments? Secretary Pete Buttigieg — his only qualifications for the job was a failed presidential campaign, time spent as a university-town mayor, and that he was gay. Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor. A total political hack. He worked as counsel to Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., then an adviser to Hillary Clinton. His biggest national security blunder was lying about the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, falsely claiming that the "Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades" days before Hamas killed at least 1,200 Israelis in a vicious attack. He pushed of the "Russia collusion hoax" as part of the Clinton campaign and his role in her State Department office amid the Benghazi cover-up. Sam Brinton, Depart of Energy official who was arrested multiple times for baggage theft at airports. ZERO qualifications except that he/she/they/it identifies as non-binary. Tyler Cherry, who worked in both the Biden White House and the Department of Interior, was hired and promoted despite several social media posts comparing police to "slave patrols," promoting conspiracies about Russia colluding with Trump and supporting the anti-Israel movement. I could go on and on.. Xavier Becerra, HHS Secretary - not a doctor, he’s a lawyer. Jared Bernstein, Chair of Council of Economic Advisors - not an economist, Bachelor’s degree in music, masters in sociology. Whomever is ultimately confirmed by the Senate, as a group they will be far more qualified for their positions than the Dementia Joe appointments. ALL ABOARD! TRUMP2024 MAGA Quote

Quote The American voter is not stupid. I give you credit. You tried. You really tried. You are very reliable about bringing two things to this forum: cruelty, and untruthfulness. On this post, though, it seems like you actually tried to be truthful. American voters are definitely not stupid. And your general point is that all these concerns about Trump being extreme and authoritarian went nowhere. I don't recall anyone saying Trump killed his Grandma. But generally you're right that people said most of those things. Mostly people who were Trump's Chief of Staff, or Cabinet members, or generals who worked with him. Your point is: nuthin to see here. Didn't work. Move on and STFU. I mean, honest guys who have sex with children and brag about it like Matt Gaetz will tell you the truth. Nuthin to worry about here. Several Jewish friends were put off by the notion that Trump wants loyal generals like Hitler had. But they're not a pro-Genocide Jew like you are. So what do they know? Nuthin to worry about at all. But back to those smart voters. I know you don't think right wing media like Fox News and their partnership with Votecast is reliable. But here is what they say: It turns out a majority of people were concerned about the future of democracy, and Trump's specific and stated goal to lead the US in an authoritarian direction. (He said "dictator", but who takes that literally?) The interesting question is this. For people who were somewhat concerned about democracy and Trump's authoritarian ambitions, but didn't see it as the most important factor, what was more important? Not that Fox News can be trusted, but here is what they say: Count on the American voter, who is not stupid. For a lot of working class and low-income people, including many Latinos and some Blacks, the price of gas and groceries came first. Never Trump Republican Mike Murphy was right. There was a "wall of lava" coming hard at old Joe Biden. Getting him out of the way helped. Thanks, Nancy! Harris almost outran it. But being the cruel guy you are, isn't is just glorious and joyful that all those Black women who wanted a role model got Trump instead? That is surely something to celebrate! We just can never be cruel enough! Let's celebrate! The smart American voter wanted lower grocery prices, and instead got Matt Gaetz. Isn't it glorious? Isn't it fun? Every Mom wants an AG who brags about having sex with her daughter! Rejoice! On board the Trump Train! Woo hoo! Those two poll questions are from the CNN exit poll. I find them a little more suspect than Fox/Votecast, in part because the Votecast results on the same question are slightly different. But the CNN poll matches with the RCP poll averages, which turned out to be very close to the actual result. What RCP showed is that Harris climbed into a 2 point lead against Trump in late September. Her biggest jump was in the week after the debate where she decimated Trump for being the felon, rapist, and wannabe dictator he is. Several smart Republican consultants have said the strategic error Harris made is that stopped doing what worked well - attacking Trump - and shifted to selling her view of the economy. Which they argue was doomed to fail because of how people felt about high prices. What we also know is that in late October Trump closed the gap. So something shifted. And in a race where Trump will get less than 50 % of the vote, that shift was probably decisive. So this may be less about the "smart" American voter, and more about the low information first time voter. Those CNN exit polls would certainly help explain why there was a shift in the last few weeks of the election in the RCP polls. It also makes sense that attacking Trump for what he did in his first term might not have resonated for young men and women who were 12 when Trump was elected in 2016. We'll know more when the more sophisticated voter file analysis emerges. But it makes perfect sense that low information voters, many of whom were likely young and/or Latino, and who don't own stocks and homes, voted their pocketbook and gave Trump a chance. I'm sure what they were most hoping for was Matt Gaetz. An AG that had sex with children. And a moral worm of a House Speaker who now wants to cover it up. There is a good alternative theory. Which is that what Harris lacked after taking Trump down in September was a second act, in which she convinced voters she was a working class gal with a working class agenda. Whether that is true or not, I'm hoping Democrats will act like it is true. The job at hand is figuring out how to deliver a working class agenda in a working class voice in 2026 and 2028. Not that voters care about that, of course. What they are really hoping for is that Trump will be an authoritarian who trashes democracy. And, as a bonus, does a recess appointment of an AG who has sex with children. All on board the Trump Train! Ain't it glorious! Choo Choo! Quote

Members Suckrates Posted Sunday at 02:27 PM Members Posted Sunday at 02:27 PM We MUST all be very vigilant on WHERE we get our information from going forward, because there will NEVER be a truthful statement coming out of the White House or the cabinet for the next 4 years. Trump will CREATE a media enviornment where everything he does is the BEST and well received, and everybody, all world leaders love and support him, and the courts applaud him. You will NEVER know of his "fuck-ups" or corruption, unless there are very diligent honest reports, but they will be dealt with quickly and harshly. All Trumps forthcoming misdeeds will be covered up and any danger or harm facing America will be suppressed, because in Trump world everything he does is PERFECT, and he fixes it ! Democrats have been weakened to the point of "uselessness", and not even state Governors will not be able to push back sufficiently to stop Trump from harmful actions. Blue states will be denied funding and aid, while MAGAts laugh in our faces. What HAS to happen is that the MAGA morons have got to start to suffer in some way from Trumps actions and policy. Only then will they turn on him and create an uprising so powerful to kick his ass out of Power. But they NEED to be harmed. However, the biggest INSULT to America is coming when Trump releases the J6 insurrectionist, I am sure there will be a big parade and celebration of their Tyranny, and a Fuck you finger to the American people.

But it is not the White House you need to worry about getting correct info.

No need for any coverups. There will be no misdeeds. Donald Trump will Make America Great Again. He will lead America into its Golden Age. Democrats have been weakened to the point of "uselessness" And that's exactly how it should be, until they learn to stop lying and cheating and act like adults. What HAS to happen is that the MAGA morons have got to start to suffer in some way from Trumps actions and policy. Only then will they turn on him and create an uprising so powerful to kick his ass out of Power. But they NEED to be harmed. I am suffering. I have drank so much champagne and attended so many Trump victory parties the last few days, I have put on a few pounds 😶. However, the biggest INSULT to America is coming when Trump releases the J6 insurrectionist, I am sure there will be a big parade and celebration of their Tyranny, and a Fuck you finger to the American people. "WE now OWN the Libs" You may think they are "insurrectionists. The majority of America (note the TRUMP voters) sees them as "patriots", whom Donald Trump has promised to pardon. And they will be and should be treated as the heroes that they are. Victims of the Deep State. There are still a few seats left on the MAGA EXPRESS. Hop on board or get out of the way.

Didn't Mika say that Trump's MSG campaign event was a NAZI rally? Didn't Joe and Mika say repeatedly how much they hate Trump? Didn't Joe and Mika say Trump was a fascist? A Nazi? Hitler? Why would anyone sit down to lunch at Mar-A-Lago with Hitler? Either Joe and Mika are total phonies or hypocrites. I vote for hypocrites who are looking for a ratings boost. Joe and Mika not only think that Trump will save their show, but they haven’t even tried to internalize the damage they and other left wing lunatics cause with their slander. Nazi show at MSG. Really? Is that why Orthodox Jews showed up and were seen laying tefillin there? This hateful rhetoric needs to stop. And it’s mostly on the left. Dare to disagree with the right and you are automatically called a Nazi. No one bothers to inform these hateful morons how hurtful that is to a substantial section of the population. These two and their equally brainless colleagues should hang their heads in shame. Despite Trump’s apparently desire to reach out to the media, I wish them nothing but failure. TRUMP2024 MAGA Quote

Just because Joe and Mika jumped on the Trump train, doesn't mean there is no room left for you. If they have seen the light and want to make America great, you should follow their lead. Still time to buy your ticket for a ride on the MAGA EXPRESS. Either get on board or stand on the side. If not, you are at great risk. The Trump train is steaming forward. It takes no prisoners.
