It is actually our system where people voted in change, but Trump has, it increasingly appears, been defeated and co-opted.
Look how ineptly the GOP/RNC let the Dems steal control of the House, and yet Trump promises he’ll let the Romney run the RNC up through 2020. Look at the Bushbot he just nominated as his next AG. And how the FBI/DOJ attorney can supposedly thwart the will of the admin by stopping Comey’s testimony in Congress.
How much has our approach to illegal immigration actually changed? What happened to the repeal of Obamacare? What sort of legislation to drain the Swamp was passed or even has been proposed?
Yeah, Trump still puts out the defiant tweets, but I wonder how much he was beat back and ultimately buckled to the threat of Mueller really prosecuting to the level of Ivanka and Don Jr.
Yesterday he not only nominated a Bushbot AG but also a Deep Swamper as his new CoS. Two really pivotal positions. Meanwhile he’s meeting with W again in January and the Bushes have been elevated to minor saints the way McCain was a couple of months ago.
Yeah, there are some murmurings now of the Clinton Foundation getting investigated. But more than a year in after the CFO reportedly flips for leniency and no actual trials, etc.?
I don’t doubt but that the Qanon thing has had the Trumps believing in their methods, but in effect has it been an opposition taming psyop?
I don’t see us out of Afghanistan or Syria or really substantially operating foreign policy differently than neocons would do overtly.
There are the vaunted trade negotiations, but how much how far do we really get with that? The new NAFTA, for example, gives Google/Facebook/Twitter new legal protections for their increasing censorship. While the Trump admin has done nothing to address that censorship or to even clip their wings at all.
I don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer, but sometimes taking a cold hard look at what is really being done by our government is a worthy exercise.
Barr seems to be well respected and thought of.
I mean, really, could anybody be worse than Jeff Sessions?
Correct... far too many put stock in Trump... I love Trump... but he is one man against a machine. He can only do so much.
If we, the taxpayers, want permanent change, repeal the 17th Amendment and 16th Amendment.
17th first...
Look how ineptly the GOP/RNC let the Dems steal control of the House,..
NO! They didn’t do it ineptly, they did it on PURPOSE!
And if a billionaire who believes just like us and has b*lls of steel and an over the top ego can’t do it, who can???
