Hey Sammy, you idiot...
Peskov insisted Russian President Vladimir Putin remains open to “constructive dialogue based on fairness and equality.”

“At the moment, the U.S. administration is diametrically opposed, and what will happen in January – we will see,” he said.
 
Will also be at the Duke-UK game next week if anyone is going.

Then you have people like Kennedy, Tulsi, Vivek, etc…from all political/business spectrums pitching in as well.

Imo this started the momentum. Super important to gather these diverse viewpoints under the same tent of opposing actual fascism.

Then Elon. That was huge. He was able to vocalize and resonate with so many moderates.

The final push were the podcasts. It let people see trump and Vance without msm distortion AND the left couldn't put their moron candidates on them. The podcasts could see the dem fascism machine coming for them since they weren't spouting the propaganda lines.

I just hope when trump takes office he remembers all this. This time it wasn't just him powering through. It was a collective effort of diverse peoples and ideas all bound together to defeat literal fascism. Dont get in power and start feuding with the very people who put you there.

Furthermore this is an opportunity to pull these new voters in for the long-term. They got under the tent because their chosen guy or gal got under the tent, but now is the time to welcome them and keep them.

Trump's first term was successful mainly because of common sense and him being someone that didn't want to actively destroy the nation. This term can be so much more productive if he just learns to delegate some of the work AND some of the praise. Not in his nature. Lets hope it happens.
 
Of all the crazy loons on the left, Bernie destroyed them.....

The independent, who caucuses with Democrats, said it "should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them."

"First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well," Sanders continued in his statement. "While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right."
 
There’s nothing to protest. Democrats got their butts kicked so there can be no argument on the outcome. Let’s see what happens on the day Trump is sworn into office.
Nothing to protest last time either. Sore losers vs class and believers in the peaceful transfer of power in a democracy.

Well, 98…he’s brought people together. Disagree there.
 
Good post. It reminded me early this morning I forgot to post two articles together, one about Putin's comments regarding resetting the relationship between our countries with Trump and Netanyahu congratulating Trump for the 'greatest political comeback in history.'
The American President as Lincoln said 'was clothed with immense power'...world leaders will respond much more how we want them to when they see an American president truly willing to wield that power.

Obama and Biden only wanted to use their power to open the country up, use their power against those in the country not aligned with them politically. But with other countries, they showed nothing but weakness and view a diminished American president as better for the world. Or as Obama put it, 'leading from behind'
That is because he is used to Michelle "leading him from behind".
 
I'll be greatly disappointed if Trump goes on the war path. He's got 2 years to fix this mess. He doesn't have time to f*** around with that kind of crap.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, part of what he needs to do is eliminate the bureaucrats and criminals that are undermining this country and tried to ruin his first term. Maybe I don't understand what you mean by war path....
 
So what happened to all those Biden voters from 2020? @Catman100 asked a very legitimate question earlier in this thread.

They all died. The only problem is they died before 2020. 😉

Exactly. I don't want to see even the first Twitter beef. We cant lose this momentum by losing ground in the midterms.

Its already going to be tough because of the massive whiplash of stopping all this nonsense. That will inherently cause short term discomfort all over as it is. Cant add to it with nonsense.

Stay focused. Delegate. Win or at least dont lose midterms. See results in year 3. Set up vance and one of the other talented younger gop people for 2028.
 
He definitely deserves credit for bringing them together. Now he just needs to keep them together. Doing that will require delegation and letting some others get spotlight. Hopefully he will.
Trump's biggest weakness was he didn't grow up in politics. It took him 4 years to learn that DC is populated by snakes and demons. Now he knows, and he knows who he can trust. It will be different this time.
 
Some of you may not be aware of this, but New Englanders, and Bostonians in particular, have occasionally been known to display some racist tendencies. Not ALWAYS though. Only when they SEE them (someone that isn't pasty white)
Never forget back in the 70s during the 'peaceful' Civil Rights Movement (revisionist history IMO) how the media basically would bash the South daily...how Northerners would self-righteously say/think they weren't racist (I knew many of them)....then they started school bussing in Boston......

 
They’re afraid he will ram through something like a Federal abortion ban but it won’t happen. If Republicans can all get on the same page they can ram through immigration, social, and economic reforms that actually make sense.

One chess move I hope makes in the next year is to talk Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito into retiring so he can put in two young conservative judges to further enshrine the balance of power on the Supreme Court for years to come.

Got to find 2 that aren't cinos and can't be bought. That could take 4 yrs on its own

Yes, I would like to see him delegate much more than is usually given to the Vice President. Vance should be given 2 or 3 big initiatives to lead. He is too talented to go to ceremonies like many VPs and shake hands. Musk, RFK Jr, etc...put them in charge of specific things and let them run with it.


Related note, Kentucky's own Massie has made his interest in Secretary of Agriculture clear.

 
Media: “Elon is only supporting Trump because it will make him richer!”

Lol…I’m telling you the guy does not GAF about money. If he could land someone on Mars safely, but it cost him every penny…he’d say “land it.”

Telling the government to cancel all subsidies for his charging stations ($7,500 each, regularly)…Tens of millions in a year.

One of the reasons I think there is still hatred in the media for Kentucky. It was so nice for the racists up north to have the SEC to point to and away from themselves. They made money off of "race" and were not happy when UK integrated the conference. No more scapegoats. No more distractions.

It was a betrayal because it made them look inward, just like Trump does for the modern Democrat party.

I'm a former yankee and know very well you didn't want to be a white man walking hand in hand with a black woman on the south side of Chicago, and it wasn't the white people from which you'd catch the most sht.
 
Your big ticket items that you want to see addressed asap?

-The border and deportations, obviously.
-Eliminating as many bureaucrats as possible.
-Rolling back regulations.
-Putting an end to the college loan scam.
-Unleashing American energy.

What else?
That's a good first day lol.

He should open the pipeline back up as his first EO immediately: just to set the tone.

81m votes. Even your average Dems are starting to question it now.

Also, it’s been one day. Protests already in Chicago last night.

We will see how the “classy” Dems respond once the wounds get licked.
 
Dont know who put it on X, but saw something along the lines of “Trump does not need to seek revenge, but he does need to seek justice,” and I fully agree.

There is no taking the “high road” at this point and letting the uniparty and deep state escape accountability for their crimes.

They all need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Every single person who knowingly pretended Biden was president making decisions. Every person who participated in the fedsurrection and sham committee. Every person who participated in Fauci’s bio weapon programs. Etc. etc. Send them all to prison.
