Somebody told The Orange One about recess appointments which would allow him to make cabinet and judicial appointments, including Appeals Court and Supreme Court justices, without any sort of confirmation process while waiting to assume the presidency. If invoked it could last up to 2 years, and probably would.

AI wrote a pop tune and created an engaging video to go with it.

Trump’s mass deportations will be a disaster!

It will make produce scarce in the supermarkets, it will slow down construction and make it more expensive, and much of the support staff in our hospitals are at risk of being deported as well.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I wonder when shipments of Howitzer shells and F35’s to Moscow will begin?

Yes, that link gives one pause, and it belongs as well in the Fourth Reich thread. Why stop with conquering America, after all.

Even before his term begins, the Trump admin is already starting to try to control the world:

When it comes to dealing with immigrants and resistance to Trump’s policies, he does have several powerful tools at his disposal.

One: Trump has two very potent tools to use in his (hopefully) final four year term. First, The Alien Enemies act of 1798, which allows the President to detain and deport native and citizens of an enemy nation. It’s a…[Read more]

This is my favorite Youtube election analyst. He really drills down into the nuts and bolts and looks behind the curtain to see what’s really going on.

It turns out Trump was propelled into office largely by unexpected gains among Hispanics:

Trump will (attempt to) outlaw everything transsexual:

How long before Trump voters realize they fucked up.

Will it take breaking up families where the husband or wife is here on a green card? Will it take sending out troops to quell peaceful protests of his policies? Will it take detaining and arresting left-leaning journalists? How about abandoning Ukraine to Russia or provoking China or N. Korea…[Read more]

This track is an appreciation of Ale’s bass playing by a fan who remixed the performance to bring the bass more into the foreground. Not only a great bassist but she’s very easy on the eyes as well.

As for the Federal cases, pursuing them is rather pointless now, isn’t it? He can drag them out into his term and then use his Justice Dept. to pull the plug. Why waste taxpayer dollars.

On the bright side, there’s nothing stopping Jack Smith from releasing just about all the evidence including grand…[Read more]

Just think of how much damage Hitler did with a military that wouldn’t stand a ghost of a chance against America’s.

It’s likely J.D. Vance will have to take over at some point because of Trump’s age and (though he denies it) poor health and mental decline, and so we have to consider what the country will look like under the regime of someone who thinks childless cat ladies are anathema, if not actual minions of Satan himself.
