One helluva cult

[Zanary]

Our country would be better off if both sides find areas of overlap vs casting stones...Fascists and college indoctrination center language does nothing but fuel anger, fear and mistrust.

Looking at the cabinet appointments so far...the term "cult" is gonna be in very consistent use.

Happily, "the Donald" fires everyone regularly, so they likely won't be issues for long.

It'll be interesting to see if Vivek/Musk actually get shit done. I have my doubts, but we'll see. 

Couple of Trumps nominations I dont like at all, but thats to be expected. 

My biggest hiccup was Gaetz, not sure he makes it through the nomination process or not. I see Mike Johnson said today that he does not think the House Ethics Committee report on allegations related to Matt Gaetz should be released and is “going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report.”

The good news (As you point out) is that Trump fires everyone all the time - especially AG's.

isnt it refreshing though to actually have people in a place to get something done, actually saying that they are going to target the wasteful spending and putting people on it that arent already neck deep in the wasteful spending swamp?

how about RFKjr,  putting a guy that has spent a lifetime going after the food and drug companies for corruption in charge of that dept?  I thought this was awesome for Americans.

I think there is going to be a lot of "oh shit" moments in the coming 2 years,  but it will beat the hell out of the countless WTF moments we've had the last 4.

Time will tell my friend...

I was always more leery about who Trump puts in his admin than I was of him. I am sensing Trump isnt quite the firebrand he used to be, maybe mellowing a bit with age. 

Are we sure Musk really isnt the VP and JD isn't just a figure-head? Sort of joking, sort of. ITs early

I am being very transparent when I say I hope they succeed in making life better for all the people. This includes those who are marginalized and those struggling to just make ends meet. I wont rally against this admin until they give me cause.

ps - have a great time in Tn..Skol em on

get the people out of the country that dont legally belong here,  and off the social teat,  and that should free up more resources for those that are truly struggling to find a way forward,  however those that are able, but dont try and help themselves should also be left behind,  less excuses and more effort.  way to many success stories out there of people coming from meager beginnings to that that path isnt still a viable one.

I do think a monumental overhaul of our education system is way past due and could be the best thing for our society.  The current system is glaringly broken and imo is a large part of why the divide in this country is so large.  people dont quit because they are hopeless,  they quit because they are told its ok to quit.

One of my biggest actual beefs with orange boi and his ilk are exactly what Johnson is doing: fighting information/accountability.

"The Donald" wants all his BS to be allowed, and wants the details sealed. This has been true very, very regularly.

It's an ongoing litany around him and his "peeps", and it's a horrific kind of privilege to be constantly, consistently fighting for.
