"Flooding the Zone"

[martybegan]

This has obviously been a dizzying few days since the Inauguration, with too many actions and orders and proclamations to mention. The incoming team was clearly pretty freakin' busy once victory was secured and preparations were being made to get (back) in. I don't think the country (planet?) has ever seen anything like this.

My guess is that, in addition to "flooding the zone" so that keeping up with and/or opposing any individual thing is pretty much a waste of effort, this administration figures it has to muddle through all of this (getting past teriffs, installing loyalists throughout the government, and making all the other myriad changes) and show actual results before the mid-term elections. Clear outcomes to which they can point to make the chaos worth it. This kind of complete overhaul of, um, everything isn't going to show results, one way or the other, for a while.

Thoughts?

Trump Floods The Zone, Leaving Opposition Drowning

Donald Trump's opponents have spent the days since his inauguration playing political whack-a-mole over a torrent of orders specifically calibrated to overwhelm and bewilder, say analysts, as the new president gets to work on his radical policy agenda.

The Administration knows it has 1.5 years to produce results before midterms.

They need to either show "we did this, and if you want more give us a better ratio in the House/Senate" or "we tried to do this, but the Dems in the House/Senate blocked us, so send em packing"

You sound depressed.

President Trump is like a hurricane destroying Clown World and the Deep State.


Can you even admit that what they’ve found USAID was funding was outrageous and that it’s a good thing they shut it down, as a supposed “conservative” that you claim to be? Or are you ready to admit you’re incapable of praising President Trump for anything?

Um, I agree? These are drastic changes and there are going to be bumps, but the end result will be a beautiful thing.

It's going to be MAGA, Mac. All due to your Orange God that rules the inner workings of your cranium.
And a very talented team of patriotic people that understand what needs to be done.

Trump has two years to push through sweeping change before likely roadblock

Donald Trump's approval rating has never been better. But he faces many political and legal fights ahead.

While they do have to push this stuff through and implement it quickly, that doesn't mean the mid-terms are necessarily going to the Dems. Historically the incumbent party loses seats in the mid terms, but we're in uncharted waters, still.

The 2026 midterm elections are just around the corner - Roll Call

The 2026 midterm elections will be interesting because the House is so evenly divided, and historic trends might not prevail.

America has a short attention span
What have you done for me lately?

Trump is tearing down the Government, our alliances, the economy, civil rights…….and replacing them with nothing

If his actions are not showing results by 2026, Republicans will pay the price

Did you not read Project 2025????? They wrote the playbook, published it for all to see, and now they're implementing it. They started this LONG before Trump won the election.

The Heritage Society, and the wonks who wrote Project 2025 have been working on the EO's and the Legislation for YEARS. The President of the Heritage Society said that Trump would walk into the White House with a package of EO's and legislation on Day One, and by God, that is exactly what is happening.



Trump has never read Project 2025, so he didn't lie when he said that he had nothing to do with it, and didn't know what was in it. Trump doesn't read anything, so that part is technically true, but he most certainly is on board with it because the people who wrote it are all working for him.

Or you can just totally gaslight people.

I'd guess that success will hinge on the regular stuff, i.e., inflation, house prices, crime, war.

The government-oriented stuff is for the base, and the general public just doesn't give a shit (not that that's a good thing).

So anything that would be considered an improvement will need to be clear and touch lives.

I don't know how voters will react to whatever is implemented, and making assumptions probably ain't a great idea.

He won, and he thinks he has a mandate. So I guess we'll see.

Like the Dems saying there was no illegal immigrant crisis?

Or women can have penises?

Or crime is just all in your head?

Progressives have empowered the Executive Branch lavishly with powers over the years that the Constitution did not give it, to the point that they basically run government with the administrative state, and now they lament cuz they don't have their guy at the helm.

Hilarious.

Harder to shill for the dems now is it?

Think we know why old Mac1958 is upset:

His favorite “republican” just got exposed by Elon and President Trump.

You know most people voted for Trump because of inflation, right? That’s the thing that actually affects people’s lives.

Does he even talk about bringing prices down anymore?

This will bring prices down.

That and the cutting of government bloat.

President Trump is like a hurricane destroying Clown World and the Deep State.

Trump is the Deep State, he has completely gutted institutional independence and replaced everyone in charge with lackey's who will do his bidding without questioning his commands.

Of course, you and yours are okay with this, because you don't comprehend the implications, or you're a foreign based troll.

There is no executive agency independence in the Constitution, all are responsible to the elected executive.
