One full year into Trump's second administration, I think we can see how this is going to look in general. I have no idea what's going to actually happen, or how it's going to play out, or any of that. But I think the tone of this administration is set. To me, it breaks down to two basic parts:

First, regardless of the ideologies, policies or issues involved, I don't think we've had an administration this focused in my lifetime. Yes, Trump's temperament brings a huge element of abject chaos to it, but I get the feeling that there are VERY specific domestic and global goals they want to meet, many of which we haven't even seen yet. It is essentially Project 2025? Yeah, maybe, but whatever it is, this group knows exactly what it wants overall. And I mean "group" specifically. Trump is the hammer, but people like Stephen Miller and the Heritage Foundation are the nails.

Second, I think this group came in with the specific intent to just ignore all rules, laws, standards and norms. They would have some losses along the way, but if all rules just ignored, our administrative system simply would not be able to keep up. We've seen SEVERAL examples of this. But they knew -- and this is pretty smart -- that the running carnage they created would essentially provide cover for their next act. You don't notice individual raindrops in a hurricane. In its own riotous way, there is a centralized focus to this administration that gives it its own kind of clarity.

I have no predictions on how this works. But to me, the overall picture is pretty clear, in its own way.

Absolutely .
Make it even more clear to the Sheeple Herd who runs everything .
Nice easy to understand ID Cards and expansion of the Greater Israel Plan to make sure the dear little Sheeplets know exactly who is in charge and Chosen .
Paradise in Elite Land no less .
 
While I'm at it, what the hell:

One of the characteristics I constantly see from both ends of the spectrum is that they don't seem to put much (if any) thought into the possible downsides and consequences of their methods. So the goal may be perfectly righteous, reasonable and defensible. But if your methods in reaching your goal are counter-productive, you could make things worse.

Example? It seems to me that the Left made zero effort to examine the potential downsides to being so aggressive with Political Correctness and Identity Politics. The result? The pushback with Trump. I'm seeing the same thing here. Trump's supporters and enablers look only at the individual act, and not a larger picture, the big picture effects, or an examination of how their methods could backfire on them.

Mac, that was probably your best post. Thoughtful with just enough truth to reply to without a "TDS" reply.

Using Project 2025 as a guide to implementing Trump's policy agenda is a reasonable argument.

But you need to look back at what Biden and his team of socialists did to the country to understand why we wanted those policies rolled back and traditional American values promoted. Here are a few of the Biden admin "anti-American" policies:

their MSM propaganda networks and hi-tech oligarchs
to their organized stealing of $billions of taxpayer money

to their university leftist programming centers

to their CRT propaganda teachings in schools

to their "deep state" hold on the government

to their creeping attacks on family values & religious beliefs

to their lawless prosecutors

to their drug culture

to their "great replacement" operation

to their grip on school boards, calling parents “domestic terrorists”

to their tranny bullshit getting little kids butchered

to their warped views of the US military

to their vicious attacks on parental rights
to their voter fraud networks
to their hatred of religions, calling Catholics “domestic terrorists”
to their war on Christmas
to their hatred of the Founding Fathers
to their fake history and racism
to their drag shows in grade schools
to their late term abortions
to the FBI spying on Catholics
to their hatred of Patriotism, the American flag, and THE 4TH OF JULY
to the Marxists pushing for the US military to use EV vehicles
to biological “males” competing against girls

Your list is scary because it's not true, but I sense you truly believe that bunk.

I'm not seeing any "backfire" on the Trump "methods", unless you want to call the late-night whining guys "push-back"?

The polls are much better for Trump than they are for democrats, Biden was 25% right-track 75% wrong track.

Trump is 38% to 56% right-track v wrong-track, not great, but 50% better than the democrats were.

 
OK, lets debate any of those items you want. Prove me wrong with credible links.....go!
Oh, sweetie. You don't understand. You made statement, so that means YOU have to prove they are true. You claimed there is teaching of CRT in our schools. Untrue. If it's happening, it's up to you to prove it.
Why doesn't the far right understand this?
You claim Biden and I suppose all liberals hates the founders. Not true.

Oh honey, Trump watched all the norms broken by your people and doesn't give a fig about simpering to the DC class. IOW:

Your game.

Your rules.

You hate it NOW?

Awww

Well, that's how it works with rational people.

But let's try it your way.

Trump raped children. We all know that. Prove me wrong.

Everything is better after Trumps first year. The chaos is on the left who is defined as a failure every time Trump succeeds. The Biden disaster is fresh in the nations memory.

Now you're lying. You can't prove your allegations. We call those LIES.
Hold your horses. It seems that your rule doesn't apply to you.
You can't prove your allegations and told me the rule is that I have to prove you wrong.
Now you flip-flopped and said I have to prove what I say or it's a lie.
So your list is a list of lies. That's a passel of lies in one post.
 
Do not happen to like Trump as a person but he did manage to pretty much close the border, without special legislation or sending billions of dollars to South American countries. He seems to understand that the U.S. needs a reliable energy source other then a pie in the sky hope it works out energy policy. He has attempted to stop at least some of the crazy grift and corruption of the government.
All in all better then the last administration whoever was running that.
 
There might not be a record, but it's absolutely true.
It's also true that he has a very tiny penis.
They even watched him cuddling up to in very inappropriate ways young girls on television but hey it is different. One happened the other possibly not.

I proved that there were no such allegations against Trump with a credible link. I proved you wrong.
So either prove you're right or keep lying.

(I proved my point about CRT with several links)
