I’m talking about the Republican party, and likely you too, supporting and voting for Bush, a globalist and open border insider, who looted the American treasure of multiple trillions for his 10 year long, “Compassionate War”. We won nothing but death and debt...

And these same people are here today crying over everything Trump does and says. This place is crawling with posers.

Trump also rebuilt the military with trillions of dollars.

LIKE HELL HE DID!!!!

He talked a great game about doing this, but he didn't actually do it.

You have no idea the dismal state of military readiness we are experiencing today.

I do.

LOL!

Yep, Trump has more universal name recognition than any other politician in the world.

And yet Trump is sliding in the GOP '24 candidate polls.

Trump used to lead these polls by 30 points! Now he leads some of them, while DeSantis leads others.

That's bad.

There is no, "Once people get to know Donald Trump, things will improve."

Everyone already knows Donald Trump. And, aside from the ever-diminishing number of faithful Kool-Aid drinkers, they're moving away from him and on to other candidates, mostly Ron DeSantis right now.

Have you ever tried to fire a gov employee?

I have.

But that aside, you think the president should come in and purge the opposition party from the Govt?

Your reasoning is on pretty shaky ground, but I cannot affect change with logical reasoning. Why is that?

In my experience it is because beliefs could be faith-based, like religion, or I’m not being presented the true arguments for whatever reason. Either way, only you know for sure.

How, exactly, will you survive when you finally figure out that DeSantis isn’t running for POTUS in ‘24, and had never intended to.

So what?

75% of all that was erased when he handed the country over to Dr. Fauci.

The remaining 25% was erased when he lost to Joe Biden.

The judges remain, but you can thank Mitch McConnell for that more than Trump.

Hell, Trump wanted to put his liberal lesbian sister Mary on the Supreme Court until McConnell beat some sense into his head.

Oh man. You and I live in different worlds. Don’t know how or why.

It’s like if you and I looked at football and one of us saw a tomato and the other saw a frisbee.

Well.... may we both stay out the camps.

What do politicians do before running for national office?

They release their autobiography.

What is Ron DeSantis releasing in February?

He's running.

So you deny there was any election fraud? You think Trump didn’t win, and Biden did???!!!!

Today's military readiness is Biden's fault. During Trump's administration he rebuilt our military resources.

COLOSSAL REBUILDING OF THE MILITARY

Rebuilt the military and created the Sixth Branch, the United States Space Force

Trump had two major accomplishments as President - judges, and the tax bill. But how much of that was really pure Trump? The judges were recommended by the Federalist Society, and pushed through by the "RINO" Senate. The tax bill was rammed through the House by Ryan - without a single Democratic vote against opposition by some RINO's, and by McConnell in the Senate. If you want to add the defense budget through as a third big accomplishment...that took Ryan and McConnell too.

The area where a President has the most solo power, and the most discretion, are the ones where Trump had the least success. And that's the power over his own staff and federal agencies, regulatory and otherwise.

He picked his own White House staff, and Congress had no say over that. He also gets to pick his own Cabinet and nearly a thousand federal employees with policy making power. Those do require Senate approval, but Trump did not go to the mat even once for an appointee he wanted and the Senate didn't. And, he also had the power to fire anyone in any of those positions that he didn't like, with or without Senate approval.

He just failed at that, and why should we expect it to be any different the second time around? Is he more popular with Congress?? Has he clearly surrounded himself with better, more competent advisers who will know how to navigate and dismantle the swamp? Like who...Mike Lindell for Attorney General?

If by some miracle/divine intervention he somehow managed to get elected against, he'd be even less effective than he was the first time. I'm sure there would be excuses, but they won't change the result.

Trump staffed his entire administration with deep state swamp creatures.

“That’s the way I’ve always seen it. And, they handed the Democrats an issue they’ve been milking successfully for nearly two years.”

You and two or three other people understand that.

If everyone had read about America’s successful armed revolution against King George, they would have discovered that General Washington did not load the Continental Army onto boats, sail to England and march around the English parliament to protest.

Gen. Washington forced the English to confront his forces on American territory. That didn’t include London.

But you are talking about employees with civil service protection, right? That still leaves about 4000 political appointees that the President can fire at his sole, unreviewable discretion.
