I can't completely disagree with you there. Bush gave us the Patriot Act. However, at least we haven't elected beta boy commie bitches like Trudeau.
Trump is teasing aborting the debt ceiling and that is a good thing because the dirty little secret about the debt ceiling is it actually increases spending because it needs to be loaded up with pork to pass AND it prevents the actual budget process because it’s a backdoor CR. Dump it and the filibuster and we are a government responsive to will of the people overnight.
Ya know, the lefty media endlessly frames this investigation of Liz Cheney as just Trump getting even with her. I don't deny that that might be an element of it but they totally fail to report that there is absolutely credible evidence that Cheney colluded with one of the witnesses at the Congessional hearing and prompted her testimoney and that Cheney did the same with a disgruntled Trump employee and colluded with her to get her to also collude with the witness. Congress absolutely has a right to investigate that and, in fact, a duty to do so. Bring it on. And if Biden pardons her, well, then she has no reason to not appear and testify because she no longer has a basis for pleading the fifth. She can still be prosecuted for lying under oath after the pardon if she does so.

As we go through the current budget flap, there is a lot of reporting on Trump meddling, game-playing, whatever. And if things get messy, it will be Trump this, and Trump that. But, let's look at it from another angle, WHERE THE FUCK IS JOE BIDEN?
'Diplomatic clown car': Trump slammed over 'outrageously bad appointments' of ambassadors https://www.alternet.org/trump-outrageously-bad/
De facto President Trump's handling of shutdown threat was a masterclass Lawmakers get in line and chop 1,400 pages of pork, thanks to Trump and his DOGE tag team
A great Christmastime message from Presiden-Elect Trump- even if unintended as such. Trump vows to stop ‘transgender lunacy' and make two genders official US policy "I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools," the president-elect said at an event for young conservatives in Phoenix, Arizona. He also vowed to "keep men out of women's sports," adding that "it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female." https://www.france24.com/en/live-ne...-to-stop-transgender-lunacy-as-a-top-priority
There is a lot to unpack in this article - below. First of all it shows how Camp Trump is doing the work needed to put his immigration plan into place. Finding a place to return deportees has been a major sticking point. Trump made some progress with Mexico on this but Biden killed it because he did not want anyone to go back. Venezuela for example is a major, major source of immigrants- nasty ones too, they emptied their prisons- but they won't take any deportees back. As with a dozen other issues, Camp Trump has already made more progress on this than the Biden issue did in four years. Biden worked against it so he made negative progress. That whole bullshit about Kamala being appointed to fix or address the root causes of immigration is one of the most fucking embarrassing chapters in recent history. Just disgraceful. She did nothing but fly into central America for a two day visit and leave them with huge, huge checks. That's it. The whole thing. Just your old school "big check from the gringos to the dictators who do nothing" approach. And the lefty press gave her a total, total pass on just exactly what she accomplished as the root cause czar. Just total, total mindboggling pass for Kamala the birdbrain dumphuk. Also, very pleasing to the eye, in this article is that it is clear that Trump is threatening those shit-hole country dictators with the one and only one thing those motherchuckers care about: REMITTANCES. For all of the shit-hole countries, Mexico included, their largest source of foreign revenue is from remittances: ie. money that legal and illegal immigrants to the U.S. send back home. It is very clear from this article and elsewhere that Trump is directly telling them that he will move to kill all remittances being transferred out of this country to their country if they do not play ball on the border and on the issue of accepting the return of deportees. YES. That is the key to fixing the border issue. Not the only one but right at the very top. It will also kill the incentive back in those countries for the entire family to support someone going to the U.S. because they want to be in on the remittances. This bullshit needs to end. Exclusive: Guatemala open to accepting Trump's Central American deportees, sources say All three countries, along with a Nicaraguan government that has the most openly hostile relationship with the U.S., face a moment of reckoning, both in handling Trump's demand they accept deportees and in a potential curtailing of remittances from immigrants in the U.S., which are a major contributor to their economies. https://www.reuters.com/world/ameri...al-american-deportees-sources-say-2024-12-26/
Nowhere to opine on this but watching Musk go into conflict with the MAGAs over H-1B visas is interesting and this is probably a good time to remind everyone Elon Musk doesn’t care about anything but going to Mars. That’s it. That’s all there is. The man is going to make America foot the bill to get him to Mars. So if you’re wondering what Musk will think about an issue just run it through the will it help Elon get to Mars matrix.
