Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

MyPillow has been pushed out of a lot of major retailers in recent years, something that Lindell often complains about. His advertisments via Fox News stopped for a bit due to him not being able to pay the bill for that (and apparently that's still a problem), he lost his legal team due to the same problem, and some of the properties he rented for the business have/are being siezed.

I guess my meaning here is that although 75M people picked Donnie, I don't think there's enough of those who actually go out and buy the various MAGA-related products. Likely because only a smaller portion of that 75M are even in the MAGA mind-hole. Lindell's business might survive, but I suspect it won't. He has to rely on doing promotions with nazi references to grab attention to his product-lines. The rest of the time he uses his "Channel" LindellTV to push his nonsense & products side-by-side.

My guess and hope here is that although Donnie has sought the White House to protect himself, that proctection isn't universal nor permanent. Lindell and Guilani will likely face the consquences of foolish choices, and my hope is that many of these other Trump cling-ons will also one day find Karma kicking their door in to remind them of their choices.

He's nominated Tulsi Gabbard as his DNI.

Tulsi who has been noted as atthe very least a Kremlin parrot since 2018 or thereabouts. As his Director of National Intelligence, the conduit that ties together all intel services and sources....

Less America First and more America Fúcked IMHO...

This was the party of Reagan and of American primacy,I dread to think of where this ends.

She is the American equivalent of Clare Daly.

Last time although most of the people he appointed were supporters of him, a lot of them tended to actually have some morals and not just kowtow to his every demand or overly abuse their position.

That's not what's happening this time. He's appointing those specifically who will both do whatever he says, and in some cases like Gaetz he's awarding them positions which will allow them to specifically abuse their position to their own ends.

The thing about these appointments is that they are technically department heads for the various Federal Departments. Under them are career Federal civil servants who are supposed to be a-political and fall back on their years of experience to keep the day-to-day operations of the department going. It's the kind of job you usually do regardless of who is in the White House.

Donnie's last stint of turning this branch of government into a merry-go-round of the "best people" didn't crash the entire US because the Federal organs were still doing their respective jobs as they always had done. They simply couldn't improve or innovate as those decisions are supposed to be taken by the politicians, like Mr. Executive Time or his appointees. The engine of State continued to function, but no-one was at the wheel until Biden came in.

I kind of expect the same again, although possibly not as smooth if they actually do attempt Project 2025. I use the word attempt because although I have few illusions as to their intentions…I wonder still about their abilites to do things like this. The irony is that they would likely need the very people they wish to replace, in order to manage replacing them.

it would indicate a revenge tour ? Trump’s attack dog ?

She is a darling of social media King maker Joe Rogan. Joe is a very big fan, he will protect her and so will Elon, social media will be on her side. CNN, NBC, the Guardian are just fake news……

Trump has learned from that though, that's why he ran a campaign on mass firings of any civil servants who are not loyal to his agenda or his administrative appointments whose morals kicked in.

That's why Musk is there, if a department starts putting up guard rails and pushing back against the head, Musk will announce it is a bloated mess that requires 25% reduction in staffing.

The other 75% are going to fall into line, because unemployment is the other option.

This shouldn't come as news though, this is exactly what Trump said he would do.

The guardrails of American Democracy are being dismantled from top down.

But it's wrong to take him literally.

All of this reminds me of Boris Johnson getting a big overall majority in 2019 and filling his cabinet full of cranks and misfits (with he being the biggest misfit and charlatan of all of course). We all saw how that ended, with the Tory Party in tatters.

Matt Gaetz as Attorney General…..

Well that's the excuse to bypass the house.

Trump and his Ghouls will full on attack any Senator or Congress Person who pushes back against him.

So they realistically have 3 options, wave what ever nutter through or push back against them invoking the full ire of Trump and MAGA.

So if they wave the likes of RFK through and easily preventable disease becomes the number one killer of children in America they will have to explain their choice come the next election.

If they go on holidays and everyone gets through by recess appointments, there is no record of them voting for them. Well I never got a chance to question him, but if I did there is no chance I would have voted for him, etc, etc.

ok,i think i get that but when he appoints them is that it?they have the job?or do they have to go through the 2 houses first and be ratified if thats the right word?

jebus…dont mention the dogs!
