kentuck's JournalThe Democrats should have a strategy to go on the offensive.
But, it should not be to attack Trump directly, in my opinion.
We need someone to monitor his lies and his political message. At the moment, when he wants to get a message to "his" people, he goes on Sean Hannity and FOX News.
Democrats need a network or a program that monitors FOX Propaganda. More people need to see what they are saying and doing, not less. There are sub-networks that mirror the FOX message but there is no one that defines it or interprets it for the people.
In my opinion, this is something the Democratic Party could do.
He is on an insane crusade and will do whatever he can get away with.
He will attempt to take over Greenland and Panama if someone does not stop him. Republicans need to awaken from their trance and see what is happening in front of them.
Also, Republican voters are not blameless. They think he is the hero, when in fact, he is the villain. Once they come to that realization, it will be too late. They will wake up in the ditch with blood running down their face and all their money gone.
It's a lesson too late for the learning, I fear. We must suffer from our experiences in order to change course.
When asked why he robbed banks, Willie Sutton said, "because that is where the money is."
We can apply the same principle to Donald Trump, in my opinion. His primary goal in this term of his presidency is to rob the bank.
Where is the money? Much of it is in the Pentagon and the Defense Department. That is why he put Pete Hegseth in charge of the Defense Dept, in my opinion. We know from his history that he is not very good at keeping the books. That is a good start for Trump.
Then, he has to find a way to get rid of the bank guards. In this case, he fires all the IGs (Inspectors General) in order to make his job easier.
For his getaway driver, he has the Republicans in US House and the US Senate to make sure there are no obstacles to his plan.
So far, it is working to perfection.
Let them figure it out on their own.
I have no more anger for them. I have no more facts. I do not resent them.
They voted for it. They got it. Now, let them figure it out.
That's about where I'm at.
If it wasn't so tragic, it would be hilarious.
Are Trump and Putin still friends??
Trump is feeling emboldened. Putin is feeling threatened.
For decades, Putin has been the Chief Oligarch of the World. He was the wealthiest with the most billionaires working for him.
But now, the clown from America is challenging his position. He lined up over a trillion dollars to cheer on his god-awful Inauguration speech. And since then, he has been collecting IOU's from the wealthiest people in tech and industry.
So, it is possible that there is some tension between the two old buddies.
I suspect the 14th Amendment (Birthright Citizenship) is going to the Supreme Court.
And it is not a done deal.
The majority of the Supreme Court is bound to the Trump cult. As they have shown, they can rationalize anything if it is to the benefit of their Leader.
Well, the 14th Amendment "clearly" did not mean smugglers and drug traffickers, Justice Alito will opine. Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch will nod in agreement. Four votes in Trump's favor before the debate even begins.
The decision will rely on the position of Roberts and Barrett to preserve the 14th Amendment if it is to be preserved.
Doesn't it feel great to be "Great" again?
How did you feel yesterday when it was announced that a Federal Judge had put a hold on Trump's challenge to "birthright" citizenship?
Did the burden of lawlessness feel just a little lighter?
Did you not like the feel of a lawless society?
Have you moved beyond anger?
Do you hope for just one Republican to come out of their hypnotic trance and speak the truth?
The Enemies of America List:
I will start a list of the enemies of our country, or our democracy, and of our Constitution. You can add to it. Maybe it will spread across the country?
First on the list would be Mitch McConnell. If he had only done his job?
#2 would be Kevin McCarthy. If he only hadn't gone down to Mar-a-Lago?
#3 Maga Mike Johnson.
#4 Ted Cruz.
#5 The vast majority of Republicans in the US House.
#6 Most Republicans in the US Senate.
#7 FOX News and Rupert Murdoch.
#8 Sean Hannity
#9 Laura Ingraham
#10 The Wall St Journal Editorial Page.
There are many more.
These are enemies of our democracy.
Democrats should halt the transition in its tracks.
We already know their plans. Why go along with them?
One Senator can stop anything he wants. Witness how Tuberville stopped the promotion of Generals and hundreds of thousands of military personnel for months, all by himself.
Democrats need to shake themselves out of their shock and oppose these unfit and dangerous nominees of Trump and the Republicans.
Trump released the insurrectionists for a reason.
They are his private military, if they are ever needed.
Some have said that they would do it again (January 6th) if Trump asked them to do it.
He likely has plans to do just that. Especially if the reactions to his "policies" become too heated. He now has his own militia.
There is nothing this fool will not do, if he thinks he can get away with it.
