'I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days, is in the midst of a massive collapse and particularly a collapse in public opinion,' Carville said.
'What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing.
'It doesn't need Elizabeth Warren and somebody screaming to pacify some progressive advocacy groups in Washington, which, by the way, I wish these people were just useless. They're actually worse than useless, that they're detrimental.'
He advised Democrats to lay low while the White House falls apart and predicted Republicans will find it difficult to pass any legislation and be forced to reach across the aisle for their support.
'It's going to be easy pickings here in six weeks

Poor James Carville. Once he was state of the art. Now the world has passed him by and he’s not sure what to do with himself.
Congress is soon going to have to pass a reconciliation bill to translate EOs into real cuts.
Trump and DOGE are ordering massive cuts, but we fought the impoundment and line item veto issues to the Supreme Court back during the Reagan administration. As things stand now, if Congress has authorized and appropriated the funds, the president has very limited reprogramming authority — if the appropriate congressional subcommittees approve — but ultimately the money has to be spent. He can do a world of stalling, but stalling isn’t going to eliminate programs.
Maybe the current Supreme Court will reverse the precedents. That will need to be tested.
The Civil Service was established for a reason. Maybe it needs to be massively reformed. (I think it does.) But the fedgov is not an employment at will situation, no matter how much Elon Musk wants to treat it like one. DOD, DOJ, the Department of Education and the rest are not X. And X is just a pixel playground, all based on a tech platform that can be rebuilt quickly. Whether we like what they’re doing or not, most federal agencies ultimately are doing real things in the real world. Musk knows this. He built Tesla and Space X, and those took many years of heavy lifting.
With a three vote edge in the Senate, Collins and Murkowski can’t scuttle the reconciliation bill by themselves. But there is no room to spare. Someone like Rand Paul is fully capable of having a fit of Sudden Libertarian Syndrome and voting against the Trump reconciliation bill because he only agrees with 85 percent of it and decides it is time to have a ritual purity attack.This is what libertarians do habitually.
Assuming Trump gets his reconciliation bill, he is still going to need statutory changes and passage of an FY 2026 budget. For that, Republicans will need virtual unanimity in the caucus, and they will have to break a filibuster. Good luck with that.
Right now, Trump, Musk and the outspoken people on the team are doing a lot of bold talking. But we have not yet even begun to whip the caucus. And threatening to primary people in 2026 and 2028 is fine, just as long as no one thinks that’s going to solve the problems we have to solve in the next six months.
I don’t think his prediction is right but his advice makes sense. Dems only real chance is that republicans shoot themselves in the foot like they usually do.
Nah, he’s the Crypt Keeper.
This is where understanding what is actually happening on the macro-level is really important. And there are millions of people not paying attention.
1. Price of gold
2. BOE needing months to fulfill gold requests
3. Bank CEO’s selling off stock at record level and moving to cash? They say cash, but I suspect more in hard assets
4. The frantic cuts, clawbacks, and budget issues of the government at 122% to GDP (unsustainable)
5. Consumer’s own personal debt levels at record highs
6. Fort Knox, yes it is an issue because the collapse is so imminent there needs to be an actual accounting.
7. It is so serious high ranking members of the government are meeting quietly over the next week-2 weeks to actually “learn” what and how “real” money works. (taking place in FL)
I have said for a long time now, things are going to get much, much worse before it gets better. What President Trump and Elon Musk are doing with the DOGE team is equivalent to what happens to a company or person in bankruptcy. They are trying desperately to prepare for an epic financial event.
What is coming will make 2008 look like a cake walk. We actually lost our financial system at that point when President Bush said, “I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system”. We smirked, we laughed, we got a little mad too, but we failed to understand what he was telling us. Same with the recent Executive Order regarding the penny. That EO essentially took the penny to 0 value. Laugh at that statement all you want, but 100 pennies right now is still 1.00, until a few months from now it isn’t.
Inflation isn’t over and it can’t be stopped. Powell is in a corner he cannot get out of. The only way out is up to our current government leaders and it doesn’t stand a good chance of working.
Highly recommend watching 2 Youtube videos when one has time. Joe Brown explains clearly what they are attempting to do before the inevitable happens: https://youtu.be/Y_IhRzlrTMw?si=betE_7OkADpMIf6Y 16 minutes
And the other one features a long form interview with Lynette Zang. She is meeting with the Speaker in the next 2 weeks. https://youtu.be/UXWYkIUsYmQ?si=l51zdsZXOZHBRF6p
Lastly I am picking up indications to watch for the week of March 10th. Now we have this “prediction” that the White House will collapse in the next 30 days. They might be right, but for the wrong reasons. It collapses due to all the things that came before 1/20/2025. When Elon says they are trying to ‘save the country,’ he really means it.
Will she put her money where her mouth is?
“Trump is in a hurry, because he fully expects to be assassinated after 30 days.”
I think that’s why Trump is high-profiling Vance so people can see that he’d be a MAGA president. Like Trump said, Vance is his insurance in case “something happens.” If something nefarious DOES happen to Trump, the perpetrators won’t last long.
yes, although I am a fan of Trump, that “Golden Age” better kick in real quick or we’re all going bankrupt.
How does Pelousy and Schemster keep convincing folks to follow? Can they bring it for another election?
He is never wrong!
Just a few months ago he guaranteed a kacklin harris victory
Zzzzzz
Not gonna vote for funding in Congress?
Car-vile makes more sense when he has a trash can on his head.
Welcome to the Glorious Revolution, American edition.
This same guru predicted word salad lady was going to win presidency.
This from the guy who claimed that the democraps would have a permanent majority forever.
Trump is doing exactly what is needed to fix the economy, by nominating great people to head agencies, who will cut burdensome regulations strangling small & medium size businesses.
The economy did not get bad overnight, it took decades of waste, fraud & abuse.
The problem can not be fixed in few weeks. From what I am seeing, we will SE golden age before his 4 year term is finished. Trump’s cabinet just got confirmed last week.
Cruella deVille’s love child.
