Trump’s Whirlwind of Appointments
Armstrong Economics ^ | Nov 17, 2024 | Martin Armstrong |

Posted on 11/18/2024 5:12:11 AM PST by george76

The mainstream media is either stupid or relentlessly beating a dead horse – their Marxist agenda. Reading the Economist and the comments of the Editor-in-chief, it is hard to fathom how ignorant this article really comes off, as do many others criticizing Trump for this flurry of appointments. I have said that The DEEP STATE is trembling because Trump now knows their game. Last time, they stuffed his cabinet with people like John Bolton and all other Deep State’s Neocons. Bolton wanted to start World War III because an unmanned drone was shot down. He has no regard for human life, regardless of which side we are talking about. War, to him, appears to be more like a football game rooting for one team to vanquish the other.

The entire reason Trump is giving his list of nominees NOW before taking office is to PREVENT the Deep State from stuffing his cabinet again to ensure he cannot drain the swamp. This has NEVER been done before, and this is an excellent strategy.

...

Gaetz, Kennedy, and others could still be confirmed with a majority vote, as Republicans will have 53 seats in the Senate. Vice President-elect JD Vance will act as not just a tiebreaker; he also has other powers Vice Presidents possess but have not historically used. Republicans are also working on tight margins, which could make it difficult with the RINOs being part of the Deep State. I will address that in a coming special report.

Trump is also cleverly pushing for recess appointments. On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote that positions should be filled “IMMEDIATELY!”

“Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner.”

...

Welcome to Washington. You are about to see just how DEEP the Deep State really is. The upcoming votes will distinguish those who actually represent the people, and those who represent the Deep State against the people.

I'm sure Don Jr. and his close associates did a lot of the behind the scenes getting these nominees on board.

Just think about how many Trump allies were hammered by association alone...guilty of nothing...convicted of everything.

All of those who had a hand in falsely prosecuting President Trump should be standing in front of a firing squad.

Including Hillary.

Many criticize Armstrong’s ECM and forecasts, but he has a firm grasp on many of the behind the scenes current events. His sources come from many in the government and financial sectors, both domestic and international, all of which are silenced by our MSM and deep state.

His success in forecasting is very simple, his computer Socrates tracks the movement of international wealth ( $$$ money) which if analyzed has the ability to forecast everything from war to recession/depression.

I believe this has to do with his presence on the floor...if he is there, he leads the Senate, not Thune.

But traditionally, VPs do not attend except for certain things. An exception may have been John Adams who hated doing it.

If he is on the floor in person, he is the Senate Leader. I think...can anyone confirm that for me?

The VP presides over the Senate. This is done in the same sense the Speakers of Commons and Lords preside over their legislative bodies. This means no partisanship. In the Commons the speaker is not even a member of the House. In the Lords he\she can be. Both are required to take oaths of nonpartisanship. These two examples are where the tradition and expectation of nonpartisanship come from. The main difference between SOH & SHC\SHL is the US VP can show enough partisanship to break tie votes.

Given that the party in power and the party in the majority are the same in what has been a tyrannically run federal government for the last four years, I view the difference as a plus.

I am beyond Schumer’s plea that we all have to work together.

I saw how that works.

When Democrats have power, Elections Have Consequences.

When Republicans have power, We All Have To Work Together.

Like Hell.

I am not going to swing my foot at that football the Democrat Lucy Van Pelt Party holds for us. If that is how it is going to be, I am going to swing my foot directly of their hand that holds the football.

Armstrong is a convicted felon who served 11 years in federal prison.

“Armstrong admitted to deceiving corporate investors and improperly commingling client funds—actions that according to prosecutors resulted in commodities losses of more than seven hundred million dollars—and was sentenced to five years in prison.”

Remember Ratland will get back in power you can count on that, the voting public is fickle and foolish! How ever you break the “system” to gain some “temporary” advantage\power it will come back at you later from Ratland in spades!

They are one of the steps in making human intelligence obsolete.

They are doing that anyway, regardless of “bipartisanship”!

We’ll see what happens. It’s hard to do anything truly revolutionary if you don’t have LBJ-like majorities in the House and Senate. Putting Vance in amongst the day-to-day goings on of the Senate will just bog him down and waste his talents.

They say presidents have 18 months to implement their agendas. Trump needs to concentrate on a few things maybe three and get those done -

1. Number 1 thing is the border and the 10-20 (or more!) million invaders!

2. Number 2 Energy get back to a normal not a fantasy based energy policy bring nuclear to the forefront. (Not saying ignore oil, NatGas, or coal!). End wasteful subsidies to fantasy projects!

3. Number 3 End government race/sex based discriminatory policies.

Most of this can be done without too much input by Congress.

Pick one thing to have a fight with Congress about, perhaps disestablishing the Department of Education.

There are always budget fights, maybe actually close the government down this time!

If he can do the above in 18 months, he’ll set up the 2026 midterms and set the table for Vance (I hope!) in 2028.

That is pretty much my view on this, and given the way they have been carpet bombing the Media with cabinet positions, I think it is their philosophy too.

I have felt since day one that he had two years to make some progress. Midterms are rarely kind to the party holding power, so I give his administration two years.

And if they waited until January 20th to publicize these picks, the clock for impediment would begin then instead of now...and that would give us LESS that two years. Let them scream and turn blue now.

Yeah. I see the timeline and priorities the same way. And undoubtedly, the first is the border.

And if we can bring energy costs down, the is going to help the country. Geez, you would think these people could see that, but on the Left, it is ideological not practical. They WANT high energy costs because that makes their solar and wind boondoggles more palatable. We have to put our foot down on this BS.

I’m waiting for “The Big List”, the wholesale firing of all federal prosecutors, only retaining those who are particularly competent.

Last time, President Trump brought in a great collection of federal judges, and there will always be more who need to be nominated. But he will need federal prosecutors THIS TIME, especially to deport a LOT of illegals and dangerous foreign nationals.

“His success in forecasting is very simple, “

So great in forecasting he went bankrupt twice,1

He predicted gold would hit $5000 in 2015 ...

He predicted a world financial collapse in 2015 ...

He is a convicted felon having scammed a billion dollars from his investors. He lost the money because he was so crappy at investing.
