This was a disappointing election for Democrats, but fear not folks, The Donald won't accomplish as much as many think.
* What the MAGA crowd doesn't understand is build out time of American facilities to manufacture Trump sanctioned products are 4-6 years. In the meantime, prices for those commodities will soar, causing inflation to soar as well, and even if these plants are built, the higher American labor cost will keep prices high.
* The Donald's "special" relationship with the leaders of Russia, China, North Korea and other dictators won't translate into any economic or peacekeeping gains.
* The wall (that Mexico was supposed to pay for) will cost the American taxpayer many billions of dollars and will be totally useless, since litigation, permitting, and bidding will take many years before construction can even begin, leaving many gaps the wall that illegals can simply walk through; this in addition to advancements in tunneling technology and equipment will make Trump's wall an overpriced failure. .
* The Middle East: With Congress having the power of the purse, even GOP lawmakers will grow tired of giving Israel a blank check to fund its war effort, will insist Israel stop using America as its personal piggy bank and to pay its own bills.

He has to make the Dictators of the world happy with him. I believe he would love to be one himself.

@Very-Rusty saidRegardless of all these predictions. It will be interesting to see, now that Trump and his party have left the room today, if the Republicans that they have talked towill go along with the recommendations of the Trump party. That will be huge. I think some of them are going to wimp out, unfortunately.

I have only heard, I don’t know if it’s true, that there is consideration being given to doing away with executive orders. I hope it has done after Trump does his orders.!
@AverageJoe1 saidYou mean some of them may actually do the right thing??? 😛

@Very-Rusty saidI hope that more than 'some' of them do the right thing. If they do not want to follow Trump lead and put employees back in the very expensive buildings, Trump should threaten to have his kids buy some of the buildings and make some more Trump Hotels. Do you think that maybe the loser congressmen will then get into line??

@mchill saidI'm inclined to agree that little will get accomplished. Chaos, retributions, daily outrages, and a lot of pain, sure -- but actual, lasting, productive policy? No.

The sheer incompetence represented by the cabinet nominees really says it all. These idiots have no idea how their appointed departments work. This means they will be running in circles for 4 years trying to get Project 2025 dictates pushed through, only to find their every effort being thwarted by what they call the "deep state" or "swamp" -- by which is meant the established experts who know what they are doing. Even if they partially succeed in effecting some of their proposed changes they'll fail, because the changes will be self-sabotaging.
And look at the House: an unbelievably razor-thin majority. If the GOP couldn't get anything done with 4 votes to spare, how will they ever manage with only 2 to spare?
My hopes that unvarnished incompetence and infighting will defeat the minions of fascism have kindled to a cheery warmth these past few weeks.
@AverageJoe1 saidI feel like my IQ goes down just reading your fascist-drooling drivel. Do you and Mott take turns with the same Hitler blow-up doll?

Relax, libs,
The one thing you can be certain Trump will accomplish is preventing another 9 million illegal democrats
from entering the good old US of A. That works!!
the difference in the popular vote in the last 3 presidential elections were 3 million, 7 million, and 3 million.
So you can see how important this is to shut off the spigot and expel as many as possible before the democrats
have a chance to create ways to get them to vote. it's called PRESERVING DEMOCRACY.
So evertbody, let's all do The Donald!! dance with joy 🙂
@Earl-of-Trumps saidDonald doesn't even dance well. One thing he can do Very well is B.S. Millions of people even after his disasters' 4 years in office, which the world know ended in an insurrection.

God bless Americanada!
@Very-Rusty saidWell, yes, that is what a dictator does. Hopefully this the last empty post about dictators, or Trump being one. Boring and time consuming. I shot an armadillo over thanksgiving in the country, his squirming around reminded me of upset democrats.
Perhaps if he gets to be a dictator he can pass the Presidency on to his son??? 😛 🙂

The post that was quoted here has been removedA good point. The libs here have no respect for the election, but go wild when Trump didn't like it either.
So, the libs (see TV) are saying they will fight attempts at Trump's suggested by Trump. 75M people did all the right things, and have their rights now to be respected.
Are any of you maniacs in favor of actually Fighting what the country has elected to be done??? Hold back programs that will be good for out nation, like getting rid of criminals, etc. Shav, need not answer, he says there should be no border. Pick the Shav Train, or the Trump train.
I did ask Shav, after his saying last week that we should let them all in, what if 20 people wanted come in his house, etc etc
Shav never answered. Why did he not answer?
