""This version of Trump knows what buttons to press, he knows where the bodies are buried, he’s absorbed their worst and now he is about to throw it right back at them." — Jeff Childers"

JHK, with all due respect, you are wrong.

First, Donald Trump is a lame duck president. Both times. Trump is never going to save the republic in one term of office. Just how many times was Trump betrayed while he was president? Because I lost track.

It would have been better if Trump had placed Bobby Kennedy, Jr. as head of the CIA, or the FBI, or both. Then a boy could have found out who killed his daddy, and his uncle. But that will never happen. Worse, is that would have been American Taxpayer money well spent.

Creating another government department is just one more government office, that will never go away. Just one more encroachment upon Liberty and Freedom. The Department of DOGE might as well be called the Department of Dodge Can, because the Department of Kicking the Can is taken -- or the Department of Lying, Cheating, Two-Timing, Cold-Hearted, Mean-Spirited, Cynical, Home-Wrecking, Loser-dom. Because I just don't get it.

I just don't understand this obsession with the idea that Elon Musk is going to save the republic. Musk is a government man. As David Collum says: "Musk is protected." Elon Musk wouldn't exist without all those lucrative government contracts, that primarily just continue hawking 70-year-old technology. Anybody who has ever gone up against Elon Musk (from a big three automaker to another government) has either gone away or been made to disappear -- and right quick.

And now the fully owned, fully controlled, fully manipulated, fully propagandized mainstream media is talking about Musk being "our" next president.  That's like electing the government to be the government. Didn't we just leave this party. Yes, but by your idea of what "mandated" means. More LaLaLand sh*t. Either TPTB have to stop, or you do. I am inclined to raise an eyebrow and point to TPTB who are going to stick around for a while.

Justice doesn't have to happen just because you say so. Just because you say so doesn't make it so. Regardless of how many times you say so. For the same reason Bill Barr was never going to save the republic from Mueller. Because Bill Barr was part of the problem, not the solution. And for the same reason Big Pharma is going to pay for phony vaccines. Or those responsible for making a biological weapon on their own front doorstep and then letting it get loose, when they knew it would turn on the species and attempt to kill us, would see the consequences of their actions. The list, your list, is endless. And justice ain't never going to get done. Ever.

Please stop being so naive.

Matthew 8:26

In this story, Jesus and his disciples are in a boat during a storm when Jesus is asleep. The disciples wake him up, pleading for his help, and Jesus responds, "Why are you afraid, O ye of little faith?"

He's putting both pro and anti Vax people in the cabinet. Wily as a fox. Let them fight and cancel each other out. It will help people forget what he did.

Maybe that is the explanation for nominating both Nesheiwat and Bhattacharya.

Otherwise it's very confusing.

Trump has also placed more neocons and war hawks in his administration than Joe Biden ever dreamed of.

Well, there is another here who is as pessimistic as I. I think we understand human nature better than most.

Musk does feel like a (legitimate) “enemy of my enemy”, more than a “friend”. I hope people realize an immigrant can’t legally be president.

Good point. If recollection serves, Trump said the same thing about Obama. The whole "Show me the birth certificate of Barack Obama!" thing. Didn't matter. The United States got its first black (and Kenyan) president.

It can be about loopholes and strings that go through them and are then attached on the other end to immigrant fingers that kind of move things about and make things happen.

Besides, is it not the deep state that actually makes things happen or unhappen, as the case may be?
