Get out with all your socialist ideas. MURICA!!!!
The Trump Presidency - Part 2
- Thread starter The Boy
- Start date
So you're upset he's generally gone with more experienced people instead of insane isolationists ? The DoD guy is obviously the notable exception.
You both know each other's views on foreign policy, why the feigned surprise.
And @Suedesi they are bad but they are pretty expected, right?
If you put it in a script, they’d say it wasn’t believable.
Posting more for the Huckabee quote than the tweet commentary itself…
Accusing the person not wishing harm on tens of millions of people of black and white thinking is an interesting strategy.
looking at these appointments, all I want to say is, good luck guys.
Jesus, those appointments. 
He works 19 hours a day and sleeps in the office!!!!
Wonder how much cash will be funnelled into X and Tesla?
We have gotten to the point in society where people have started to meme official government positions. Feck this world.
Just waiting for the last part for Trump.
These appointments are already…..a bit crazy.
Is there a chance this guy doesn't get confirmed? I could see a good share of the Republican senators wanting someone more qualified for the job.
While Pete Hagseth has some military experience which Trump supporters are saying, it pales into comparison to the multi star Generals previously appointed.
collection of crazies
I thought it was from the Onion. Even the absurdity finds this nomination absurd.
It’s really fecking difficult to not say “I told you so” over this, you just have to remember that the people you’re saying it to aren’t people that are tribal partisans, they’re people who were woefully let down by the Biden administration and saw relatives, friends and at the very least people like them being massacred on a daily basis.
A lot felt they couldn’t endorse that with their vote, some will have voted for Trump in the desperate hope that some sort of change will be better than the status quo because quite frankly it’s hard to imagine worse than it is now. The problem is that it can always be worse and it looks like it will be.
Fecking DOGE what a loser.
It’s also difficult to remember that America is a majority white country. Whites voted for trump, more so than any other ethnic group. Arabs are one of the smaller minorities in the US.
Thank god Trump trounced Harris in every metric so at least people couldn’t go around sneering at minorities for the next 4 years and blaming the loss on them.
In the madness of trump, it’s also easy to forget I guess every single red line being crossed with Biden, their own mild threat to withhold some weapons falling by the wayside again yesterday and then sending an ex IDF soldier to mediate between the Israelis and Lebanon. And of course the ongoing building of settlements and ongoing American veto in the UN.
No doubt and I am also very happy to it wasn't a closer race because indeed we'd be hearing too much bullshit and blame game, specifically against minorities.
But I think it's also relevant that vast majority of white American votes don't care at all for Gaza and it's not their priority at all. If you have a group that acts as if they were the single issue voters - save Gaza and Palestinians - and who effectively and knowingly voted to raze Gaza because at least the libs are owned, it's objectively ridiculous and it's hard to take those voters seriously. I think you'd have to be quite gullible to think they actually care about what's going on in Gaza at all.
I don't think it's that difficult to not say "I told you so". So many of the "pro-Palestine" accounts I've seen celebrating Kamala's downfall don't care about Palestine at all, it's pure virtue signaling and engagement farming. Just like Hamas wouldn't like peace because they'd become less relevant politically, just like Netanyahu's butchers want the war to continue so that they stay in power, many Western "pro-Palestine" influencers are nothing but grifters that hope to see more Palestinians slaughtered because that equals outrage, clicks, money. So yeah, I very much pity the Palestinians in Palestine being murdered, but I don't pity at all the fecking American voter who voted for their doom, even if his reasoning is "but I was desperate for a change". Yeah, you've got they change you wished for, now enjoy the show you hoped for.
It’s worth saying this was the average democrat response to hearing about dead Palestinians.
America foreign policy is largely the same regardless of who is in government.
Yup. Both parties are way too pro-Israel.
Milk is probably last on the list of what will kill us all food & drink wise, I stay away from Milk thesedays, I do Keto and shop at my local which does healthy alternatives, too much sugar or weird sweeteners make me itchy.
Red 40 etc should be on the next thing to go.
It’s worth saying this was the average democrat response to hearing about dead Palestinians.
Again - I posted the tweet because it showed Huckabee’s quote, not because of the account’s own commentary.
It seemed noteworthy to me that Huckabee is talking about the West Bank there, and not the Gaza Strip.
The democrats just spent an entire year endorsing a genocide and lying about it. When they were selected, people will have nodded approvingly as them being the adults returning to the room once again.
The reality is that since citizens united, corporate money is the only voice in US politics, and anyone that has risen to the point they could realitically be chosen, are the same, corrupt shitehawks as everyone else. They wouldn;t get there otherwise.
Not saying trumps picks are not bad, because they are. Just saying that this is who america is now, in terms of leadership, and have been for decades.
I bet they all get appointed because every last one of them will be too chicken to go against their dear leader.
Yep and I'm guessing the Dems this time may just let them have it too and hope it ll unravel before they can do real damage.
You need context, this particular poster has a history of posting comments on multiple topics that have no shades of grey, it's either this or that, either good or bad, no middle ground, doesn't mean he's right or wrong, just very rigid
Your definition of work might be different to mine, and I sleep in my office as well, definitely don't have his $$$$ though
TBH they don't really need to get confirmed by the Sentae because of the ridiculous rules that allow appointments when the Senate is in recess, Trump did this last time and has already stated he's looking to do the same this time
An end times cabinet, maybe there's hope after all.
When there are no repercussions for lying during confirmation hearings (Amy Coney Barrett) then it's all rather pointless anyway. The only thing it does is maybe allow some gotcha moments that can be used for the midyear election commercials.

Amongst all the other bullshit, let me get one thing straight
A man who served in Iraq has a tattoo of an AR-15, a gun that is not standard issue within the US military and has never been, and that he wouldn't have used in Iraq.
The US SecDef is someone who legitimately doesn't know the difference between an M-16 and an AR-15.
