Trump Triumphs

[Rightguide]

That's not what was announced.

DoJ is winding down the cases due to his election.

No other reason.

Will Trump pardon himself?

He won't have to Smith will be fired before Trump takes office and the cases dropped as I said. The documents case was already thrown out, and the SCOTUS has tipped its hand about Smith being hired illegally. Trump has already said he would fire Smith on day one. The DOJ is simply cleaning house to avoid embarrassment after Trump is sworn in. Also the DOJ's own policy prevents the prosecution of a sitting President.

Smith hasnt been fired and the actions have nothing to do with the validity of cases.

There you go, thats the real reason Smith is wrapping it up and walking.

The 34 guilties on Stormy is different… my thinking is if the judge sentences Trump on the 12th to time served in processing as the sentence, nothing else….theres nothing to appeal so the 34 felonies might stick to his ass.

They are generally more capitalist

Quite the reverse. The countries I'm talking about are the social democracies. Those are the countries where working-class and middle-class people are better compensated, the countries with lower Gini coefficients than ours.

Trump has no solution to the War in Ukraine but to tell the Ukrainians too surrender to Russia. The inflation he generates by placing high tariffs on imported goods from China will be worse than anything we experienced under the Biden administration. Trump had four years to replace the Affordable Care Act with a better, less expensive program, like he promised to do in 2016. He failed. Now all he has are "concepts of a plan."

I don't disagree with any of that. But since he's going to take office soon I hope for the sake of the country that he succeeds where he failed previously.

That case involves novel legal theory that is definitely appealable as well due process issues involving federal law and federal election law.

Poor lance.

Name one. It's almost certainly more capitalist, white and culturally homogenous than the USA. At least they were when things were good, most of them are victims of "diversity is our strength!!" lie about multiculturalism and the wonders of wholesale unrestricted importation of the 3rd world into their countries.

With the sole exception of Bulgaria, every country in Europe has a lower Gini coefficient than the U.S. Is any of them more capitalist?!

Trump succeeded in cutting taxes for the rich. That, plus pardoning himself for his crimes is all he wants to do now.

Almost all the Scandinavian nations, Ireland, Lithuania, Iceland, Switzerland, Czech Republic....all more capitalist. Hell even New Zealand is more capitalist than the USA.

Gini coefficient = leftist obsession over equity....not really a measure of capitalism vs. socialism.

And literally anyone who made over 10k.....so the working/middle class, aka the uneducated garbage that Democrats LOATHE with a passion...they got tax cuts too. REALLY pissing off Democrats. Nobody hates the working and middle class more than a Democrat does.

How are any of those more capitalist?!

They have more of the defining characteristics of capitalism. A right to ones own labor and property (privately owned means of production) and the freedom to exchange the fruits of that production (goods and services) for their benefit/gain.

Chris Wallace just drained the energy from CNN's studio, announcing Trump may soon have the chance to reshape the U.S. government.

“If Donald Trump is elected president, it means that they can confirm, without any Democratic votes, any appointment he makes to his Cabinet, to the government, to the Supreme Court, should there be a vacancy. It's an enormous advantage to a president.”

“In the House, although that hasn't been decided yet, the Republicans have flipped three Democratic seats. The Democrats haven't flipped a single Republican seat.”

“So there is the possibility here of a complete, united Republican government with Donald Trump as the president and with a Republican House and Senate, which means that in terms of appointments, in terms of immigration policy, economic policy, environmental policy, you name it, he could have a pretty blank check.”

Wow! The next few weeks are gonna be so filled with tears, rage, and denials of reality. And n that we have a unified government, notice how no republican is talking about packing the SCOTUS or adding republican states?

There is talk about about federal voter ID and citizenship requirements though. RUH ROH!!

If the GOP has the hair on their peaches for it they would effectively end the "progressive" movement in DNC as it's been known for the last 15+ years.

There is certainly no more of that in the Scandinavian nations, Ireland, etc., than here.

None of them outrank the U.S. on the Index of Economic Freedom.

It doesn't work that way. Sorry.

 

[JaySecrets]

This is the only argument we need at this point.... Well that and a red wave in Senate... and Congress... and the Governor races... A full trouncing really. The people have spoken. Happy grousing, lefties.

 

[Politruk]

Well, there's no legal or constitutional reason why a New York judge cannot put the president-elect in prison.

I'd actually be interested in seeing them try, and then see what happens.

 

[wallstreetguy]

It is a good thing Trump won in a landslide because NV and AZ are still up to their old shenanigans. They would be accused (probably rightly) of finding enough votes in Phoenix and Reno to defeat Trump.

 

[JaySecrets]

Once upon a time there was an administration. There was also a storm. That administration destroyed agencies designed to help people in legit need in crisis, wasted resources, and reassigned agents away form their actual roles to feed liberal special interests, political cronies, and those who were not even citizens of this nation. Then the storm hit. And the federal response was not only awful, it was criminal. And a state suffered while the government lied. And a state asked for the government to get out the way while that government turned help away from the state, blocked needed airspace, and took credit for help private citizens gave. And people suffered. And people died. And the administration lied and covered and denied and blocked speech to hide a debacle that would destroy election chances. But the truth couldn't, wouldn't be silenced. And those who would have supported that administration watched and were sickened.... No. They were pissed! They weren't going to vote for the contender they hated, but they sure as hell were not going to show up for a person they learned by observation to despise. You ask where those millions of votes went? Why Kamala lost so badly? Why Trump won so handily? If you don't know, you haven't been paying attention.

The DemocratICKS proved that they are Masters of Unity and message and the true moral American majority.

... and we slink like ally cats
tearing down what we attack
