To some, Trump’s announcement at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday was music to their ears. It was the revival they had been waiting for after two years of a Biden administration that was not even a return to the swamp, but a deep-dive into the La Brea Tar Pits. As before, they were weary of being called names, lampooned, and now vilified as Mega-MAGA Republicans and a threat to the general welfare. (Incidentally, I thought the Democrats had all of the creative people on their side. Couldn’t they have done better than Mega-MAGA? It sounds like an ad for a monster truck show.)
But this time around, they, like many Americans, have been beset by inflation at the pumps and in the stores, a historic military blunder overseas, government overreach, and the corruption of their children. Not to mention the fear of a national government weaponizing itself against dissenters or exploiting the common man. So for those people, Trump’s announcement was a long-awaited breath of fresh air. No doubt, Democrats are equally enamored of the idea, since they can re-start the keening, wailing, gnashing-of-teeth, and calls-to-arms that served them so well in 2020 and the previous four years. Who knows? Don Lemon may even get his old job back.
Not everyone is thrilled. The National Review was one of the first ones off the starting block, with a piece by the editors simply entitled “No.” While giving a nod to Trump’s accomplishments in office, the article cited the chaotic and erratic nature of the administration, the high turnover in staff, and the loss of two Georgia Senate seats as indicators of Trump’s inability to lead. Among other things.

QUOTING SCHUMER:
“I’m going to say to the Republicans in the Senate who are not the MAGA Republicans, stop letting them lead your party. Work with us to get things done. I intend to sit down with Mitch McConnell and express that. I intend to sit down with him and say we should be working together. You’re not going to get the extremists in your party to work with anybody, but the rest of us can work together and get some real things done for the American people.”
Is anyone really surprised by this?
BTW, when they mean “MAGA” they mean “citizens that want smaller government”.
Kentucky it is up to you now.
Just like they destroyed the Tea Party ?
Schumer and McConnell: stop MAGA, continue with TAD (Take America Down).
And when they say McConnell, they mean China.
They think if they make Trump ineffective that the people and the movement will just go away.
I’ve got news for them...
A direct election of Senators was a very bad and short sighted change. MAGA candidates need to primary everyone who supports Mitch and run third party they lose. Get them out one way or another.
The Senate will have zero impact over the next two years. It will be the House’s show. Mitch lost.
RE: TAD (Take America Down).
I prefer TADA ( Take America Down Again ). It rhymes with MAGA.
Trump can use TADA as a slogan to attack the Democrats and Deep State Republicans.
“Kentucky it is up to you now.”
Trump helped Mitch McConnell get reelected in the 2020 election. Just like Trump endorsed Romney and McCain.
The Kentucky voters won’t see Mitch on the ballot again until 2026 when he will be 84.
Hopefully Mitch will leave when a GOP Governor takes over.
RE: The Senate will have zero impact over the next two years.
Better pray that Justice Clarence Thomas stays healthy till Trump wins in 2024.
All the time.
TADA - good one.
Why don’t I see anyone using that?
Recall Mitch McConnell. If they get it to a vote it will tie him up even if the election is rigged
When a Democrat wants to screw over Republicans, the first place they look for help is Republicans.
Glad to see them reaching across the aisle finally.
The only thing worse than Republicans and Democrats fighting is when they work together.
