Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

[Mary Stetler]

The war is from within. Trump is fighting all sides. Even January 6th has not been settled although I know what he said too. I saw the news broadcast before It was taken down.
The woman killed was trying to stop the people breaking the window outside. She was dragged in roughly by the guards and then left to be trampled.

Even the BBC is lying about Trump.

He has to sue.

He has to get up pretty early i nthe morning to outsmart me, Grin.

Trump is throwing a tantrum after republican losses demanding “voter reform.” What does that even mean? The candidates he endorsed in Tuesday's election lost so he is blaming it on anything he can.

There was hope for his candidates, but in Blue states, he cannot expect to win easily. Elections have consequences and now New York especially will "enjoy" the consequences of voting for a wealthy Communist. The South Florida real estate agents say they can't wait for Mamdani to assume the mayor's office. Some estimates claim 25% of the top 1% of taxpayers will relocate.

As was said in the video, the tax structure in NYC is very progressive, so the wealthy pay a vast majority of the taxes. Those wealthy are the very ones who can easily relocate. When New York has crashed in the past, the Feds have always bailed them out, but Trump has already said that won't happen while he is President. It will be a little Communist country within the larger nation. One guy, a billionaire, has said he believes that 25% of the top 1% of wealthy will relocate. That will be a major blow to someone who wants to greatly increase the taxes on those individuals.

I lived in NY when the garbage union strike etc was going to bankrupt the city. The mayor looked to the Federal Gov't to intervene and the President was not planning to. But he was told he had to, to uphold the appearance of the US to the world, so he did.
Trump will not be so inclined.

Trump still has tough rows to hoe.

Another day, another loss for another of Trump's attempts to violate the law.

Breaking News: Federal judge permanently blocks Trump’s order to deploy the National Guard in Portland, ruling there is no ‘lawful basis’

US judge says Trump cannot deploy National Guard to Portland

The Trump administration did not have a legal basis to use troops to quell immigration protests, the judge wrote in a 106-page ruling.

Another pissant judge and more insurrectionist lawfare to get overruled. What a waste of taxpayer money!

I think it is the same judge who has been overruled on almost everything. They call her Judge Karen. Even the 9th circuit has overruled her several times.

I don't think so. They cannot even build a road to the west coast of Alaska due to permafrost and swamps. The environmentalists are having a fit over Trump wanting to build a 17-mile road from the Dalton Highway into a mining region just to the west of the Dalton Highway (the pipeline road).

Uh Oh.

I wonder about her organization.

A lot of what they say sounds good, some sounds plausible, some sounds possible, but at a certain point it gets a little unlikely or even crazy, and some gets downright suspicious.

They defend Zionism and Netanyahu pretty rabidly, all but attacking anyone who disagrees as "impure MAGA" if not pro-Hezbollah which seems bizarre. They appear to be in favor of the things that Trump is doing but they put no energy into opposition of Democrats locally or even the more radical aspects of Islam recently arisen here in Michigan.

They lured me in initially, I even "subscribed" to their YouTube channel. It got nutty pretty fast though, and I unsubscribed a week later.

I can't figure them out. Some of it seems logical, other stuff is out in left field or even nuts.

I see now that Schumer has blinked. He has agreed to vote for the clean CR if the Republicans agree to extend healthcare premium tax credits for one more year. Trump has countered with a proposal giving all the "Obamacare premium money that would be spent by the government directly to the American people, thus stopping the subsidization of insurance companies and allowing individuals and families to purchase their own health care insurance. This would be in the form a modified HSA and could only be spent on healthcare. He is making the Democrats now come out against sending money to the taxpayer and making them support sending money to insurance companies. Trump's proposal reportedly would be "progressive" and would send more money to lower=income individuals and families. Lindsay graham was among the first to come out in loud support of the proposal, so we will see how Schumer et al. react to it. Of course, illegals would be excluded form Trump's plan.

@Don Alaska That is music to my "ears"! They have underestimated Donald J. Trump from Day One! They continue to believe their own dis-information about him that they have been spreading, up to this very day! They are circling the bowl!

We'll see how it all works out. The media are in large part very much anti Trump and can present to the gullible things they have not independently researched. I also saw that even Ketanji Brown Jackson who doesn't know what a woman is has decided that only Congress can fund the SNAP and that it is illegal for the President to fund any program that Congress has refused to fund. Apparently she has red the Constitution at sometime since she was appointed and now realizes that a lot of what she ahs said in the past is wrong. The judges who ordered Trump to illegally fund SNAP or any other program without Congressional approval have yet to read the Founding Documents.

The reason they wanted to extend the OCA out a year is because (surprise, surprise) it lands right at midterm voting. I am glad Trump has stopped pulling punches. Even as to the filibuster. I did not like that it will be ended but if he does not do that, Democrats will stand in the way of everything Trump sees as good for the country. Must not let him have success!

The Democrats can do the same thing should they again gain power. Trump wants to preempt the Democrats and get passed what he can while he has majorities, but if the Dems again gain majorities, they have promised to go back to their old ways plus pack the Supreme Court with new very leftist judges. I am beginning to think that a Convention of States might be a good idea if Trump can lead it. We need to affirm that Congress has to live under the same laws as those they govern, institute term limits for judges and members of Congress, and force a balanced budget except in times of war. I have always been against the idea since opening the Constitution is a dangerous thing and I suspect the first things to go will be the First and Second Amendments, the two that the Founders thought to be the most important, but something needs to be done to get our government under control before it turns to bloodshed as Jefferson predicted.
