@MainstreamViews It seems like the staffers do have a great deal of control over the levers of power. The staffers in the Supreme Court seem to control which cases are heard by the Court, the staff in Biden's admin ran the federal government, etc..
The trad route seems to be rigged against men
@dash_eats Your last draft is the best one. Trump may have sacrificed our Golden Age and his legacy for a war for Israel, but at least we are saved from President JD Vance.
@ScottMGreer Trump has done the bare minimum on immigration, DEI, and a host of other issues.
People excused the corruption because they thought and still think that Trump is doing more for them than he actually is, but reality should hit them within a few months if they're paying attention
@jlippincott Trump does need to end the war with Iran immediately and restore global trade, but tariffs were a really good idea, even though Trump implemented them in a haphazard manner.
@jlippincott Trump probably saved us from President JD Vance (I read your piece - he's not Trump's successor) and he probably destroyed the GOP as we once knew it. He is also helping us decouple from Israel.
Trump accomplished those things in the dumbest way possible, but he got it done.
@ScottMGreer (except for pundits and poasters who identify as pro-Israel or who benefit financially from the war. "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon" is a dumb reason to support the war if you are not part of the aforementioned groups)
@ScottMGreer Trump shouldn't have started a war of choice with Iran, which was obviously going to be a disaster for him and for Americans.
In an ideal world, every pundit and poaster who thought there the Iran war would be a success would stop talking about politics forever.
@FrailSkeleton@CovfefeAnon So that woman made a company that people hate so much it would be counterproductive for a foreign agent to interfere with its operations.
@HomericFuturist They voted for Democrats because Democrats didn't start a war of choice with Iran, a war that spiked their food and gas prices. It's not complicated.
@HolyChrisMolina@sfsclark@InezFeltscher Hegseth is going to appeal to men more than the women on this issue, so it's best to just ignore her.
There are videos of people in the military who are happy to see Hegseth - she's just another loser lying on social media.
@captive_dreamer The anti white animus is above the surface right now. It didn't go anywhere, woke is not dead, etc..
(This is one of many reasons why the Trump administration is so frustrating: they did the bare minimum in terms of dealing with the anti-whiteness)
@JoshuaSteinman Trump could reclassify marijuana as the same as alcohol and cigarettes. Then, put together a list of rules that states can adopt, for people who are a nuisance with weed in public.
