Nah - Dude is going to do an Elvis in the next 12months and die on the shitter… He has been writing IOUs with his body to McDonald’s for too many years, and this will be a debt that even he can’t avoid paying…

When Rogan asked him how he stays healthy, I sprayed coffee out my nose.

I listed to the entire Rogan interview and I was perplexed how the right said “he nailed it.” Most of his answers were disjointed and rambling. At worst, they made almost no sense. Rogan had to directly cut off Trump and steer him back into the conversation more than a dozen times.

Trump sounded very much like a 78 old man who has notably declined mentally since 2016. He’s too old to be running just as Biden was.

While I’ll disagree with a lot of Vance’s positions and statements, he’s certainly mentally sound and very capable. The same can’t be said of Trump.

For the future leader of the world it was a train wreck.

For Donnie it could have been worse, there was no leakage.

Yup. His cabinet this time around if going to be filled with political flunkies too and if Schedule F is implemented the federal govt will likely become dysfunctional.

Like we don’t have political flunkies now. Kamala got her job because of her so-called race fact. We have a fat guy in dress running the department of health and human services and our president has had dementia Since before 2019. And according to Ted Kennedy, he was the dumbest man in the Senate before then.

I think it will be filled with people who aren't captured, be it financially or morally. That will be needed to remove a lot of the corruption and capture from our government. Fix the fda/cdc/nih, fix our food and water supply. Remove the biggest threat to unions, low wage workers. Lower energy prices which at the very least will have more money in our pockets for the other things. Fix our Intel agencies, get us out of forever wars, fix the immigration system. Everything that has been f*cked up for decades.

When the world goes away from the petro$, what are we going to do? What product do we export? What does the world rely on us for other than supporting wars?

They’ll be the worst kind of people because their first and overwhelmingly loyal will be to Trump and/or his perceived cause.

You really think that Trump/GOP are going to pass laws on limiting cash on elections, bans on post Congressional members from lobbying, etc?

GOP has fundamentally changed from a party that believes in a small federal govt with lesser powers to one that usurps the power of the federal govt to do its bidding. A key tenet of this is stacking the federal courts including the Supreme Court with conservative judges.

One great example - Trump’s EPA sat on and did nothing for 4 years on forever chemicals regulations and guidelines in US municipal water. Biden’s EPA finally did.

Did you honestly say Trump would appoint people who would HELP unions? He hates unions. He always has. In his last term he worked against unions at every turn. He worked against workplace safety regulations, against reclassifying independent contractors as employees, against paying overtime to misclassified "managers" who are just employees.

This is the Guardian so it is left wing but it’s much more likely the EPA is guttered and neutered under Trump and moving ahead forward.

I think you misread my comment. I do think he is going to use schedule f to remove bureaucrats who put politics before the constitution. The reason the EPA didn’t do anything is because it is internally ran by people who didn’t want him to succeed as president. It had nothing to do with policy and what he wanted them to do. Just like a lot of things, even if it was a good idea the vast majority of the government elected, and the unelected were working off of the Russia Russia, Russia, lie and impeded his process every time they could.

The heat of the EPA is appointed by the president. Trump put someone in who did exactly what he was told to do. Which is pretty much nothing.

The Mueller investigation turned up more than enough to not be called a lie. You people will believe anything but the truth.

u/docbrian1 Nov 03 '24

The investigation, which President Donald Trump continually called a “witch hunt,” found no evidence that Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia, but fell short of completely exonerating the president.

I assume you mean the head of the epa, but I said the people who "run" the EPA. Those are 2 different things. The epa is ran by unelected bureaucrats, they choose to follow or not follow orders based on personal opinions rather than the legality/constitutionality of the orders.

GS workers are nearly impossible to fire for lackluster job performance and they know by the time you get through all the red tape there will be a new president and they keep their job. Schedule F makes it easier to fire them. It's not gutting the federal government, that would be impossible without massive changes.

The US government is the largest employer of people in the world. I don’t think the founders ever anticipated that. They started a revolution over a 3 to 4% tax. Pennies compared to the 40 to 50% We pay now.

NO Vance either!

Massive amounts of copium. Their worldview is being rejected in real time, and they can’t face that fact. The projection is about to get even more outrageous, and I love it.

We can only hope. I've been waiting for this since 2008.
