The Trump Presidency 2.0

On another topic, Trump throwing MTG under the bus is interesting.
Trump demands loyalty, but does return the same. While I like his policies, I really dislike his quickly tossing people under the bus.

The problem with this is that Trump believes any disagreement is disloyal.

I guess, but have you seen a lot of what she's saying? She's been challenging him a bit. Dunno, it's weird to watch some of these Ultra MAGAs change their tune a bit...but also the president is out here walking back stuff. Like we need to reduce the volume of Chinese nationals at our universities and he was like "nah fam, we good".

I wish I could love this statement with more than just one egg-plant wiener.

I'm supportive of Trump, or anyone else, for retaliating when they've been defamed and falsely accused. Regardless of how you may personally feel about her, MTG is a huge reason Trump is president. She went to bat day after day and risked her own election, and personal safety for that matter, supporting him and I feel he should be grateful enough to have private discussions with her when there is an issue. She hasn't been disrespectful toward him in her recent, one-off disagreement, AFIIK.

Well, we can say that, but look who his VP is. Look who the leaders in his cabinet are. Many of these people made a name for themselves by calling out Trump, but they're on the team now because he finds them useful. MTG may have outpaced her usefulness to him.

You're point is legit. However Vance is a bit different. He was critical early, but went all in at some point and at times even looked like a boot licker. And I like JD Vance.

Pretty solid serious but humorous monologue on farms in the US.

So - If I am reading this correctly - 45/47 is the first president in US history to navigate boot lickers, cut throats, back stabbers, and sycophants? I reckon I'm just not smart enough to understand why no other president has ever used their power and position to hire, manipulate, pressure, influence, fire, or smear a political opponent.

I reckon Donald Trump is the first American politician to do the things that Donald Trump does...
...I guess I was I just daydreaming when the nation literally applauded a journalist that said voting for Obama gave him a warm tingle up his leg?

Either way - I give up - and I don't care anymore.
Trump could strangle one of Anthony Fauci's medical experiment beagles at the podium during the state of the union speech and I'm just going to look the other way.
-The same way tens of millions of people looked the other way when Bill Clinton sodomized a government clerk with a cigar.
-The same way people looked the other way when 'Dubya robbed Americans of their privacy when he signed the patriot act.
-The same way tens of millions of people looked the other way when Barak Hussein Obama said you can keep your doctor...
...and then turned the IRS loose on his political opponents like Michael Vick in dark basement full of pit bulls from "Bad Newzs Kennels"
-The same way that tens of millions of people looked the other way while Joe Biden wandered around the global like a fucking zombie that had overdosed on Donepezil.
-The same way tens of millions of people looked the other way and pretended that Kamala Harris is in any way "qualified" to execute nation policy beyond the level of "gotcha style political activism"
-The same way that ALL of the democrats in our government "looked the other way" and refused to stand and applaud for a fucking 13-year-old kid with brain cancer during the 2025 State of the Union address when President Trump made him an honorary agent of the U.S. Secret Service

I'm gonna say that one again - LOOKED THE OTHER WAY - when they could have applauded for 13 year old kid with brain cancer
...for the children


Nope
...dont care
...looking the other way
...cant wait to vote for a third term
...cant wait to vote in as many places as I can because asking me for my ID on election day is racist
...cant wait to forgive him for whatever he does next

You went too far with the dog.

To piggyback off of the autistic SF medic guy, I a had a convo with a GS-13 who has chronic "not my president" TDS. I got to hear TDS-13 go on about the illegal "bombing" of "fishermen" and are we really sure they are carrying narcotics. "I've seen this before. They have oil so we'll invade and this is just a made up..." whateverthefuck he was going on about. I expected a lecture about DU0 at any moment...

I asked him if he was aware of Obama's drone program and its interpretation of ROE and international law.

"What are you talking about?" I explained that little dealio to Retardis-13 and how we basically created our own precedent for future conflicts. So, if he wants to accuse 47 of murder he needs to get a bigger paddywagon and start with a certain Nobel prize recipient.

He walked away. I hate engineers.

So many Hatch Act violators that it's nearly funny.

but have you seen a lot of what she's saying?

Could MTG be jockeying for a run at POTUS in 2028?

Could MTG be jockeying for a run at POTUS in 2028?

I doubt she's dumb enough to do that so soon, but keep her job and then make a run? I can absolutely see that happening. Position herself as a VP candidate or back in the party's good graces for a cabinet position? I can absolutely see that too.

She's MAGA and addressing the issues that Trump ran on but hasn't delivered on. I'm glad someone is calling him out on it. Could also be a winning political strategy....even if just reelection to congress. I'm not sure if Trump has any leverage on canceling her, because its his own voters listening to MTG.

She'd be in a very big group of heavy hitters for candidates...JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, Glenn Youngkin, depending on who wants to run.

 

[Topkick]

DeSantis has a good chance, especially if Trump doesn't get the economy straightened out. He's also failed to follow through on some big promises to this point. Anyone tied to the Trump administration, Rubio, Vance, etc. will need to answer some questions. MTG is asking those questions.

Right now, today, the nomination is Vance's to lose. He polls extremely well. Rubio is vanilla, has not shot himself in the foot. DeSantis runs Florida like a machine, as Youngkin did in Virginia. If that group is interested in the next step, she's on the outside looking in. I will say this: the left will lose its collective shit if were president lol.

I don't think she could win. FWIW, I'm not over the moon with Vance at this point and I am a 3 time Trump supporter.

When 2028 gets here - I'm just going to vote for the one that is the farthest from being an American Communist...
...don't care what political party they are from
...don't care what color their skin is
...don't care which god they claim to pray to
...don't care WHAT kind of ten year old sound bytes get leaked by "Access Hollywood"
...don't care what genitalia they were born with
...don't even care if they want to chop their cock off and join the girls volleyball team

I'm just standing firm on my "no communists" position on American political representation. Everything else is negotiable - for now.
I also reserve the right to waffle, flip flop, and drift into hypocrisy without warning.

 

[AWP]

At least choking a dog wasn't an option this time...

"Save a puppy. Vote 'No' on Communism." has a nice ring to it I suppose.

Bro - just so you know - I had a Beagle when I was a kid - that was NOT an easy post for me to make - but sometimes you just gotta say what you gotta say...
