“A Declaration of War Against the American People"

[OKTexas]

There are some things that congress must approve.

Funny, I can't find that anywhere in the Constitution, care to point it out?

No, it was not 48. And even at 48 that's not a majority of the people. Trump won by 1.5 percent. Biden beat trump by more than that at not one of you morons would have agreed that Biden had a mandate. So stop repeating lies. You guys have lost 3 out of the last 4 national elections. You are probably going to lose in 2026. Your party is at death's door because of your worship of Trump.

Yeah, it was actually 48.8% of the PV and 57.99% of the EC.

The 2024 presidential election was close, not a landslide

Donald Trump's close win over Kamala Harris in the 2024 election hasn't stopped him from claiming a mandate.

1% was the winning margin, as you well know.

Trump took 32 of 50 states and won 2,633 counties to 427 for Kameltoe

3.5%, little liar....

Actually it was 1.6% And Trump won 58% of the EC.

It became 1.6% after weeks of democrats "finding" ballots, 90% of which were somehow democrat votes.

Amazing how they do that.

You seem to be learning the lesson. If they can’t think of five things they accomplished in a week that pretty much alone proves how worthless they are.

Surely you don't really think this do you?

 

[Mac1958]

Surely you don't really think this do you?

We regularly see the parties interpret any win -- no matter how slim -- as a "mandate" to shove their agenda down our throats. A grievance I've always had against partisan party politics.

But this?

No, this is on a new level. And it's being led by a profoundly damaged, juvenile malignant narcissist and his group of absolutely loyal, hyper-aggressive, unquestioning and under-qualified sycophants.

Good luck to us, I guess. I don't have a crystal ball, so I'll just hang on for the ride.

Why not?

The longest SOTU speech in history has been described as an attack on the American people. And when you look at what is being done, this administration has decided to wage a full-scale war on working Americans. Many of these are the same working Americans who claimed that Trump was the one they connected to because he understood them. Was that really the reason?

“A Declaration of War Against the American People"​

President Donald Trump delivered the longest presidential address to a joint session of Congress in modern history Tuesday night, laying out his vision for the next four years as he defended his many executive actions to dismantle large portions of the federal government. For an hour and 40 minutes, Trump repeatedly lied and exaggerated his accomplishments and his opponents’ failures, deploying racist and dehumanizing language to describe immigrants, LGBTQ people and his critics. Trump heaped praise on billionaire Elon Musk and his efforts to slash entire government agencies. The speech was “a declaration of war against the American people, including Trump voters, in favor of the super-rich and the giant corporations,” says Ralph Nader, longtime consumer advocate, corporate critic and former presidential candidate.

Watching Trump and Musk transmogrify you Democrats into 1997 Rednecks is hilarious.

About 38% elected him.

The rest of us knew better.

You are utterly clueless .

You had no inkling that Trumpfy would be gifted the Presidency, or that the Democratic party had lived through its usefulness and was being shut down for a few years and possibly forever .
Not a Clue

"Gifted"? Donald Trump is the hardest working man in American politics. He earned the presidency.

 

[Contumacious]

More imaginary trump cult spin. We have 4 borders, 3 are open. Thereis no green new hoax and you don't know what Marxism is. Waste and fraud is spending millions of dollars for trump to play golf, put 3 immigrants a cargo plane and DOGE.

He could not formulate a proper response so he became incoherent.

You don't appear to have command of the facts.

It's only a declaration of war against the left.

Push, push, push, revolution.

Congress passes laws. The White House enforces those laws, the president uses EO to hello in that

Push, push, push, revolution.

Yes it’s a great revolution against the demafasict

Nobody has to send Elon Musk 5 things they did, he runs no agency. And nobody has to show you a thing. You idiots seem to believe that government workers don't work. Well, you're about to learn a very hard lesson for the years of your stupidity in believing that nonsense.

We've done nothing but grow government since FDR. It's long past time that we actually try and shrink government.
You say we are about to learn a lesson. What lesson is that? One, where Americans are no longer trained to run to the government trough every time they need something?
How about we begin a 'new' lesson? One where Americans start looking to themselves and their families, or to their own communities, and begin the lesson of 'self-empowerment?

We've tried your way decade after decade, and it's time to try a new way!

LOL. So, now you are OK with an insurrection?

You don't shrink a business when its customer base grows. When have Americans EVER practiced self-empowerment?

Government began growing from day one. As America expanded, new issues arose that could only be solved by the government.

YOU are about to learn is just how much government really does and hw necessary it really is.
