@approxinfinity said in All of a Sudden:
Well… Trump talking about how proud Melania’s parents would be to see him win a second presidency certainly had no vindictive undertones, may they rest in … somewhere.
Her dad is still around! He’s about the same age as his son in law… so
-
@FarmerJayhawk alright well i dont know what the hell he was mumbling. Ive heard five lifetimes of gas spill out of that windbag.
-
@approxinfinity if the rumors are true, she might not have told him either way
-
@approxinfinity I’ve always said people that get to Elite of status are usually crooks and not good people. I worked on a former congressman’s car for over a decade when I was at the dealership. We became buddies on a first name basis and he never had anything positive to say about our government without getting into details. They want to line their own pockets regardless if there is a D or an R by their name. They give zero fu*** about the commoners just keep paying those taxes.
-
@kjayhawks almost makes you want to run?
-
@approxinfinity I encourage it with the caveats that it’s both very expensive and very miserable walking doors 6 days a week for months

Interesting demographic shifts within the parties underway https://x.com/patrickjfl/status/1854645395856482568?s=42

Jack White summed up everything that isnt to like about Trump fwiw: https://www.instagram.com/p/DCCoN6ipAdw/?igsh=MWkwOGtlenlqdjc3OQ==

Dems have abandoned blue collar working class and they are now paying for it.
-
We are all paying for it.
-
Oh also my friend in Missouri told they voted to approve a ban of rank order voting, so yay, we can continue to play not to lose… at least in Missouri.
-
@approxinfinity Missouri gonna Missouri
-
President elect Ass-Face is making all my political dreams come true.
Hiring talk show hosts(same as), pedophiles and sex traffickers. He’s doing this to make it seem like they’re worse and more stupid than him.
They’re not. There will never be anyone as bad and as stupid as him. Close second - the ones that worship him.

@nuleafjhawk I really think you stop watching MSM, I think it’s getting unhealthy for you. I don’t know Jack crap about Hegseth. But the MSM is screaming Trump picked some random Fox News guy to be his Secretary of defense!! OMG!! OMG!! Me being able to think for myself and admitting not knowing much on him looks him up…… Graduated from Princeton and Harvard (must be a complete idiot as MSM suggests). He had 20 plus year military career, won several military awards, obtained the rank of Major and was a platoon leader in Guantánamo Bay that houses some the most vile scum of the earth. Again sounds like a complete dipshit to me. I honestly think he is a little too extreme towards the right for me to like, but I hope it works out.
-
Hegseth doesn’t believe in hand washing which seems kinda bad
But really, he’s not qualified to run the Pentagon. An Undersecretary job would be better. He’s just never run anything remotely close to the size and scope of DoD.
-
@FarmerJayhawk that’s Gross, very logical assessment.
-
@kjayhawks he a nut job, but I’m more worried about the pedophile sex trafficker attorney general
-
Who was 2 days from getting his case info released. Surprise surprise!
-
I could be wrong, but I don’t think Gaetz has any real chance to get confirmed. It’s hard to describe how much he is loathed on the Hill
-
@nuleafjhawk I agree to an extent, I don’t believe him to be into human trafficking. He just pays women for sex as do most rich males in this country do including dozens of Democrats. The escort website that was hacked a few years ago had government employees galore on both sides. I hope as @FarmerJayhawk says he doesn’t get that far. The problem I have is you seem to be fine with disgusting acts by democrats. You should be disgusted by all of them. Would you let your neighbor to north sexually assault someone and do nothing. Then call the cops on neighbors to the south for the same thing you refused to speak out against? Then praise Harris who had known Diddy party guests and friends speaking at her rallies. Wrong is wrong my friend.
-
He’s not fine with anyone doing those acts! Do you know Harris knew anything about that? Most of those pics shown w/Diddy were at music award shows. Did you know gaetz was having sex w/underage girls? Everyone knows that, including everyone in congress.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 not defending Gaetz by any stretch of imagination. But to say he’s human trafficker is simply false. He’s a dipshit that paid to sleep with women, one of them may have been 17 but they have zero evidence to confirm this. If you y’all democrats are so against this stuff why hasn’t any ever called out Clinton for the shit he’s done? How Biden sniffing and groping young women? The party not only supports but pushes for men in women’s locker rooms and restrooms. It’s all okay with capital D by their names. Whatever done with this thread.

Good

The issue, IMHO is that Trump is consistently proposing people with relatively little experience for these very high positions.
Some are douche bags like Gaetz, most are mixed bags – they have some ideas that make good sense and other ideas that are pretty fringe/kooky to outright dangerous.
But the common theme is the lack of experience.
Now why would someone do that? Why fill all the top positions with people with little experience of the area they are going to be in charge of?
Because if you are planning to tell people exactly what to do (aka micromanage), it’s much easier if they have no depth of knowledge about what they are told to do.
IF you want to build a team of rubber-stampers and executioners, the best qualification is ignorance in the domain. The second best qualification is pledged loyalty.
Bad: People who have knowledge and experience to cloud their conscience.
Good: who have no knowledge and experience that will compete with his instructions or color their decisions.This is so dangerous. If people don’t see this, then we are truly lost.
This country isn’t perfect. There are things that need to be addressed. But there’s a lot that isn’t broken. The way Trump is approaching this, there is HIGH likelihood that the baby will be thrown out with the bathwater because he and all his deputies don’t know which is which.
That’s not how you make America great again. That’s how you damage the hell out of America and probably make it more vulnerable than it has been in 50 years and leave wreckage that will take generations to repair… if ever.
In Trump’s words: SAD.
-
@kjayhawks what in the hell are you talking about???
I’m not OK with disgusting acts by anyone! That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Hate to burst your bubble, but I’m registered Independent. Don’t give a crap if they’re Republican, Democrat or Alien. Keep your weird prejudices to yourself.

@Crimsonorblue22 Thank you!
