    I have no idea what is going in another person's head. If I did, I would be God. I do know that Trump won't save us from the long downward trend. We no longer have an overarching narrative or culture binding us together. The American people are economic units in an economic zone. That is unsustainable. The only people with deep reverence for the founding fathers and founding myths are whites and we are dwindling every year. We are entering into an era of competing myths and very low trust.... AKA Brazil. There is no magic soil and no way to force 3rd world minorities to revere the people who created America. Without shared myths, countries cannot last.

    There are millions of 9royhobbs out there and, yes, Biden and Harris care many times more about me than Trump cares about any US citizen.

    how do you figure? that sounds like nonsense unless you are an illegal immigrant with a felony record, a latino on death row, or a dude who wants to play against girls in sports. Since I doubt you are any of the above, I doubt Joetato or Kackles gives a mouse fart about you

    The simple answer is the economy. The right has pounded out the message "are you better off now than you were 4 years ago" which the public bought into but the FACTS are that Biden handled the economy much better than Trump did.

    I can't help agree. New immigrants probably don't give too much of a ****. But give them time and a generation or two and they will love America and feel American.

    That's why I support immigration and assimilation, but not unfettered nonsense.

    Trump will eventually do that when Congress passes its tax cut bill and its spending bill. That spending bill will cut SS, Medicare, and Medicaid, things that Trump promised not to cut. And then he will shfit to this what he proposed all along and that any statements he made before were "misinterpreted." We can also look at Vaccines, Patel's FBI going after his enemies, and so forth. Yo uare already seeing his nominees backtrailing their statements they have made on Twitter, podcasts, and so forth.

    Whether it is great or not remains to be seen.

    I think that the House of Representatives will thwart a lot of Trump’s programs. The margin there is razor thin, and as Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana said, a number of the Republicans are “free range chickens” with almost zero party discipline. Fortunately Matt Gaetz is gone, but far right loons like Chip Roy remain.

    If I had been in Matt Gaetz’ congressional district, I would have held my nose tightly and voted for the Democrat. Yes, he’s that bad. Party loyalty to not extend to voting for total jack asses.

    If you would spend some time looking at what the DAs and others do in office, who get political contributions from Soros, you would know what goes on in that monster’s mind. Like the “Grinch Who Stole Christmas,” his brain is full of termites. George Soros is evil as hell.

    Why would one support letting shoplifters and violent criminals run free? Why would you put an old man in jail for killing a violent attacker who went behind the counter at his store and attacked him first? That’s one example of many, and Soros continues to fund the campaigns of the those who refuse to enforce the law to detriment of the lives of the people Soros claims to support. People in the poor neighborhoods suffer the most from crime, and yet Soros supports the monsters who make their neighborhoods hell.

    Soros is some kind of a strange anarchist who supports criminals. He grew up under communist and Nazi rule, and yet he can’t understand how bad those systems were. He advocates establishing them here. He’s very old, and it seems like he will live forever, Sadly he will in a way because he’s raised a son who is just as bad.

    Assimilation is a process. Immigration is also a process.

    For assimilation, even as late as the early 20th century, there were foreign language newspapers in Texas from Chech to Swedish to Spanish, among others. German was the second most popular language spoken in Texas until WW1 and even further eroded in WW2. Spanish began to become more popular in the 1950s, mostly because of the new education requirements by Eisenhower with the foreign language requirement. It substantially increased after the 1965 Immigration act was passed where more people from Latin America and Asia were allowed in legally.

    Immigrants come for three reasons: family, work, or humanitarian. For family, they will love their spouse and where they live, generally, ie city, county, neighborhood. That is their "America" much like how the early founding fathers perceived what America is. Small children adapt a lot quicker typically than adults. But for assimilation, even my spouse, who can speak English at a high school level, has trouble learning everything here to be "assimilated" while still having an accent when speaking. Most new adult immigrants who become naturalized citizens usually don't vote, but their children, who turn 18, do and become more political, usually on the liberal side of politics. In contrast, the 2024 election saw a lot of naturalized US citizens vote for the first time.

    LOL, Soros does not contribute to any and all DAs who run for office. This is an unfounded claim on your part and you are not a lawyer.

    Again, it is a resource problem/. We have a certain amount of courts with limited time to have trials, bond hearings, pre trial motions, etc, all set by law, aka the State Legislature. People who shoplift are committing either a serious misdemeanor or a felony depending on how much was stolen. But shoplifting is generally not a violent crime.

    The argument of your broken window can only go so far, and it does not show the understanding of why DAs are not charging people with court appearances for certain crimes. Most are drug-related with a certain amount being the limit. By law, it is one-quarter of one ounce. In California, I think they raised it to three ounces considering medical marijuana is legal in California, not to mention Colorado and other states. Even in my state, a GOP state, the law was changed with hemp, which is a basis of CBO products, which are legal for anyone 18 years or older. Hemo produces THC much like smoking a joint. Hence the problem my state has. Now AG paxton wants to ignore the law passed by a Republican state legislature and signed by a Republican governor, but I guess you will make the argument that Soros was behind that too lol.

    Soros funded the campaigns the campaigns for DAs in New York City, St. Louis, Los Angeles, San Francisco and elsewhere. Every one of them were or are soft on crime. The DA in San Francisco was so bad that that liberal city recalled him.

    You claim that one must be a lawyer to express an informed opinion is bullshit. If that were true, only lawyers would be allowed to vote for DAs.

    Doubtful at best. For example, here are random posts from Indian working at for Elon Musk's X.

    The ingroup preference by Brahmin Indians is off the scales. If you get one in your company, they will do everything in their power to replace white workers with Indian workers. They did it to Silicon Valley and they are doing it at my job. If you look at the elite class in America, it is being taking over by Indians. See Trump's cabinet or Silicon Valley executives for your examples. These are Brahmin Indians who see people not of their caste as less than human. They have no love of America's founders and they have hard raw power right now. Thus they can work at major American corporations, use openly use racist taunts against white natives and lay out plans to replace white workers with Indian workers with absolutely no chance of losing their job. The taunts/discrimination are a demonstration of actual power level. They are also a demonstration of a civilization in TERMINAL decline and division.

    Trump is being engineered into having to choose between maintaining funding for social programs (Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, Social Security, SNAP, etc.) and tax cuts for higher-income supporters.

    Democrats will not support program cuts, so Trump will have to kiss goodbye his tax cuts for rich folks unless he can get his caucus to raise the debt ceiling.
    Fortunately, we're not on the verge of a debt crisis--yet.
    You're outlining what our future may hold if we don't solve this problem...

    Never going to happen. Trump sets the very highest of goals.

    And Trump does have the Congress he needs to have his election certified. Had America not given Congress to the GOP, a Democrat Congress likely would have refused to certify his victory, like these two dead-ender clowns are urging.

    [​IMG]
    Congress Must Stop Trump From Being Sworn In, Argues Column in The Hill.

    'two lawyers argue that Congress has the right and the duty to prevent Trump from taking office because he allegedly committed insurrection and is disqualified:'

    'How will this blocking action take place? By refusing to count contested electoral votes if objection is made under the Electoral Count Act and sustained by both houses of Congress. That’s not going to happen, of course, but they want Democrats to try anyway.'

    In this sense, Trump DOES have the congress he needs.

    Trump will have far more Congressional support this term than in his first term.

    In his first term Paul Ryan didn't work to pass a Trump agenda and did next to nothing except pass the tax cuts. And McConnell and the Senate slow walked his cabinet confirmations.

    They also made it clear that if he replaced Jeff Sessions for recusing himself that they would not confirm a replacement, which would leave Rat-faced Rosenberg as acting AG.

    This time, he'll have much more support from Congress and he has much more support from the American People.

    What Was So Different This Time About Trump’s Election?

    He was at 41% approval, now he's over 50%

    'Trump’s inauguration in a few weeks likely will not resemble his 2016 ceremony. In the 2016-7 transition, Democratic-affiliated interests ran commercials urging electors to become “faithless” and thus illegally reject their states’ popular votes and instead elect the loser, Hillary Clinton. Massive demonstrations met Trump on Inauguration Day. In less than four months after assuming the presidency, Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to investigate the hoax of Russian collusion.'

    First paragraph. You're welcome to list them and the amounts of the donations. And the evidence.

    Then we could talk.

    If Trump finds himself getting frozen out, it will be a good reason to clean up the graft in DC among House and Senate members.
