Trump Strategy is taking hold. Planned it for 4 years.

@AverageJoe1 said
He began on Jan 20 to not only change the US, but to change global policy, global order. He had these 4 years to plan strategy...he thinks many steps ahead.

So as he destroys the current rules based order where America is no1, are you going to be happy when America slips down the leader board and you all have nothing to show for it except for a belief that Trump was playing 5D chess?

I will not be happy if we slip down the leaderboard. No one would be happy. No one knows that more than Trump.

So you think I am just crazy to think that. You think that I should think like you do. The REASON you think that I should think like you do is because of the nature of your relationships with other liberals...you all think alike, in lockstep.

Because it's called reality.

The fever dreams of MAGA keep me up at night.

Only two days left until Martial Law. Are you ready?

I know people who have been visiting the U.S. yearly for like close to 50 years, and this year they are not going because of TRUMP!!! I think you will see a big drop in Canadian license plates this year, and probably every year until Trump is out of the White House. With the trouble to get in to the U.S. and all the questions, they can't be bothered, some are concerned because of their Nationality they be looked at as terrorists. They have already sent one innocent man to that Prison in El Salvador and can't get him back, as they have Dictator running that country. Exactly what Trump is trying to be a DICTATOR!!!

ICE has in custody right now an American doctor from Pittsburgh, and another American who was dragged off the street and held by ICE simply for moving from South Carolina to Georgia. This triggered some "anti-immigration" policy and he is still being held.

I told everyone in this forum early on, that, considering Trump SAID he was planning on deporting 20,000 "Illegal aliens", and the fact that there were only 11,000 of them in this country, he has to deport 9,000 Americans to hit his 20,000 fantasy number.

Let's all wait and see what happens on Saturday. Stock up on groceries now.

Leaderboard?????

Do you seriously think this is all a GAME???

People are suffering, but you just don't give a damn, do you?

I had these details wrong. He was moving from Georgia to Florida. Of course.

Thank you, Ron DeSantis, for these draconian laws.

I will admit I have a very hard time understanding the sheer, bottomless ignorance of AvJoe, which is so profound and void of self-awareness that sometimes I'm convinced he/it is an AI bot that's using the forum for training, or otherwise is just trolling for laughs. The slavish, mindless devotion to Trump, as if he were some sort of Nietzschean superman or divine entity, ...[text shortened]... th all his human qualities (except fear and hatred) largely drained out of him. It's what cults do.

That's what happens to your brain when your lips are firmly superglued to Trumps ass.
That action drains brain cells right out his lips into Trumps ass.

Don't feed the troll.

I'm inclined to agree. It's become clear at this point that AvJoe is just here to troll. No one can be as genuinely stupid as the persona that he projects. Most of the other MAGA types at least occasionally evince a desire to debate in good faith, but not Joe. What's said to Joe just falls into a black hole. Literally it's like trying to talk to someone with absolutely no memory capacity.

So he's dead to me, as Metal Brain has been for over a year. I encourage others to also consider ignoring AvJoe from now on. His allies parrot the same talking points anyway, so his presence is superfluous.

So the attacks on American citizens has already started.
And word on their plight?

So far it's been here and there, that's why you're still hearing about it in the news.

Wait until this weekend when there are so many incidents the news agencies can't keep up.

Leaderboard is a scorekeeping system on the fairway of golf, which shows who is leading, and if someone has a bad hole, they are dropped from their position to a lower position. I would think everybody understood that.
Just because I use a word affiliated with a game does not mean that I think that the United States is in a game. My my my.
You will have to start a thread on people that are suffering, that is quite a general statement. I know a lot of people that are not suffering, so you need to make some distinctions.

Why don’t you write about the mortgage fraud of Leticia James?

OK, after the next post I had prepared for him. 😉

Yeah, Saturday April 19th 2025 (which would also be considered Holy Saturday among Christians both West and East, if I am not mistaken) should be a very interesting day.

Not to give them ideas, but it's kind of surprising that Ron and his ambitious wife and their ilk never thought to ban Ray Bradbury's books in Florida.

Similar to Senator Murkowski (and maybe to people in Soviet times in Russia), I feel inhibited by fear these days, even as an American of Euro-White (non-Hispanic) descent.

Which post against a politician or one of their minions might get all my benefits cut off and me declared as dead, if not "disappeared"?

Yeah, sure, I imagine the Blacks, Native Americans, Asians, Jews, Irish, Italians, Hispanics and Latinos on this forum might all be thinking, "Oh? Do tell."
