Donald Trump

I'm pretty convinced Trump will step down after 18 months/year once all his legal doings are in the rear view. Vance has been placed by Thiel and Musk to be their man. 

 

Think about it, why would a man as thin skinned as Trump pick a bloke to be VP who's slagged him off so much?

 

Also, many observers say his Cabinet picks look tailor made for destroying the federal government and pillars of state. 

 

Trump will be the wrecking ball, musk and the oligarchs will be the rebuilders, but they'll do it the way they want.

 

I've said before we're all part of Musk's experiment. I suspect he's not into all this anti woke right wink shite, just that it's the best and quickest way of tearing things down. Same with all the "civil war looks inevitable!" Shite he peddles in Europe and the UK.

 

The states are about to be the world's first large scale experiment in Technocracy.

I think tearing lots of shit down seems a decent start to a plan. I've revised opinion on Trump. He's a weird communicator, but he seems to want less war, less bureaucracy and more freedom on the whole. The consensus forming organisations hate him, so he's going to get beef from all quarters, but I want to see what he can do. The "new left" scares me if I'm honest.

He has hijacked the party by skipping over a generation of established Senate leadership - easily shedding the skin of MConnell and co.

 

A few of those same fellas are still leaders that chamber.

Been named Time's man of the year.

Bought Time, erm bout time.

Bibi will be furious. Probably wondering how many more children he'd have to have massacred to get selected.

 

Luigi Mangione has been robbed.

First - it is the Person of the Year.

He did make it as a finalist.

Look up his total for '09 for your answer - he won it in 2010.

No one knows wtf he actually wants. Everything he says and does is entirely transactional, he has no ideology, he only cares about what's best for him personally. Who are the new left and what are their beliefs?

Not really he honour he thinks it is though really.

I'm quite happy for people not to be ideologs. I think strong ideology is one of the biggest issues in the world today. We have too much polarisation and division and no room for evidence based approaches. 

 

I don't know what the new left is exactly, but I wouldn't say it represents the working man as it used to. It seems disinterested in personal freedoms and focused on consensus forming by almost any means. I don't actually know what they stand for anymore, other than criticising anybody who doesn't agree with them.

Once he is inaugurated on 20 January, one of Donald Trump’s first orders of business will be pardoning people convicted or accused of crimes related to the January 6 attack, and also actions to expand oil production, the president-elect told Time.

Goodbye planet Earth. Twas nice living on you.

Anyone else notice that Vance has disappeared and Musk seems to be VP in all but title.

[Section_31]

Lawless.

What it looks like when you start to get into the unimportant details of the concept of a plan:

 

 

Trump told Time in an hourlong interview for its “Person of the Year” feature that his presidency wouldn’t be a failure if he failed to bring the price of groceries down.

“I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will,” Trump said.

 

Nevertheless, Trump repeatedly told voters during the campaign that electing him president would cause prices to tumble.

 

“Prices will come down,” Trump said in August “You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.”

“We will end inflation and make America affordable again, and we’re going to get the prices down, we have to get them down,” Trump said at a rally in September “It’s too much. Groceries, cars, everything. We’re going to get the prices down.”

Surely nobody believes that at the time..it's like £350m a week for the NHS by leaving the EU.

As per the highlighted part, he's actually right there though, isn't he? There's no way they're coming down ever. They might not rise at the same rate anymore, but they're still gonna rise.

 

Biden and his administration didn't do enough to stop them going so high in the first place.

 

And hence they're out of office because it was the biggest factor in deciding the margin of victory in the election.

Federal officials say they’re worried about sharing documents via email with Donald Trump’s transition team because the incoming officials are eschewing government devices, email addresses and cybersecurity support, raising fears that they could potentially expose sensitive government data.

The private emails have agency employees considering insisting on in-person meetings and document exchanges that they otherwise would have conducted electronically, according to two federal officials granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation.

The world is in a much worse place now compared to 2016 too. Both French and German governments have collapsed, Canada's likely to as well - the adults are no longer in the room.

What federal mechanisms do you think were not employed?
