The Fascism Is Starting

Despite enjoying a 53-47 majority in the next Senate, Donald Trump called for any Republican senator seeking the position of majority leader to agree to make recess appointments during his administration, bypassing the traditional confirmation process. He also told his party to block any lame-duck judicial appointments the Biden administration tries to push through.

Of course, the Nooner dregs are blindly cheering what they should be adamantly against were their supposed principles, morals and values real.

But they're not.

So they're sycophantically cheering the death of the Republic.

Am I reading this right? Shrimp, Fort, etc. you are OK with the new president acting like a dictator from day one? Isn't the whole US Government based on 3 branches watching each other? You're OK with him saying to the Senate, "Just do what I say"?
It's so weird that the Right claimed for decades not to trust the government and suddenly they get unquestioned loyalty?

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) doubled down on his promise to keep senators in session even over weekends to confirm Trump's cabinet positions, adding "the Constitution expressly confers the power on the President to make recess appointments." A source familiar tells Axios it is something he's discussed with Trump before the tweet.

Article II of the Constitution

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.): "We must act quickly and decisively to get the president's cabinet and other nominees in place as soon as possible to start delivering on the mandate we've been sent to execute, and all options are on the table ... including recess appointments," he said in a statement.

Trump gained all of 39,691 votes. That is a 0.00053 increase. You want to huff and puff and throw your weight around just understand you didn't get a mandate, and half of America is against you. We aren't going anywhere, just like you aren't going anywhere."

Whether you like Trump or not, he won both the popular vote and the electoral college. Additionally, His party flipped four states in the Senate. Hell, Sherrod Brown lost in Ohio, and he's been in Ohio politics longer than I have been alive.

Maybe it's time for that come to Jesus moment and realize that, for many of you, the rest of the US does not share your interests. And that's OK. You don't share theirs.

The good news for all my progressive friends, maybe, is that the US just elected an extremist. Maybe next time it will favor you and be a progressive extremist. There's not always a lot of trade space between the left and right extremists.

Sorry, though. I think Bernie is too old. And there is no more a young Bernie than there is a young Trump.

Yes there is. Named AOC. WHich is why the right is terrified of her and started their propaganda war against her as soon as she appeared on the scene.

#78 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2024-11-12 03:10 PM

AOC has to stay right where she's at.

No way she can get elected to anything outside her district.

"Oh so when the left has a strong populist its THEY CANT GET ELECTED.

exactly. and you're seeing it happen in real time right in front of your eyes.

I'm not sure "populist" is the correct term to describe the people you're referring to but yes....the right has a different level of tolerance for the fleas on the dog than does the left.

the left has a ---- ton of puritans who can't stand it when they don't get their candidate and they stay home.

the right doesn't have that same camp of people.

that's a compliment to those on the left for having standards of behavior

The right doesn't burden itself with such baggage......LOL

Like Laura. Exactly.

a BILLION dollars were spent to get people off their butts to vote against Trump.

Every major show went on the offensive leading up to the election with completely going after Trump

60 minutes
SNL
CBS Sunday Morning
Sunday news shows
etc.

websites including this one...everywhere....total support for Harris.

and the turnout was pitiful

"Oh so when the left has a strong populist its THEY CANT GET ELECTED. When the right has a strong populist it's THEY CANT BE STOPPED."

I'm not sure if "the left" is the term I would use, but it's going to be very difficult to run as a populist and a proponent of identity politics. The two are oil and water.

Like I said: IMO the Trump win shows that a Bernie win would be a distinct possibility...if Bernie were young enough to run in the near future. I think AOC is more of an identity politics person, but I have found myself agreeing with her on occasion, and I think she is introspective on why the dems lost. Why so many people whom she would have viewed as being in her camp voted for Trump.

One of the hanging chads in my mind, so to speak, is why so many did vote for Trump. Prima facie, it may seem like a repudiation of contemporary left-wing values. It may be, but I think it's just as likely a repudiation of modern US progressivism, which doesn't really contain any sort of populist position that is not infused with identity politics.

#84 | Posted by madbomber at 2024-11-12 03:45 PM

"the left has a ---- ton of puritans who can't stand it when they don't get their candidate and they stay home."

It would appear that there were a lot of Muslims and Arabs in Michigan who voted for Trump because the Dems weren't going to overly criticize Israel. If you're an Anti-Israeli, Trump's being in office is only going to weaken the position of the people you support.

It's kinda crazy.

"People love the rapist. American women feel sooooooo empowered."

American women had the chance to vote against him.

They really didn't.

Dobbs may have been important to some female voters, but it does not appear to have outweighed other issues.

But you can watch TikTok's of the ones who were outraged.

They're funny.

Trump maybe stupid, but he ran a better campaign in "general"

Also did you look at the polling numbers regarding issues?

It wasn't hard to predict, or see coming.

1. Inflation.
2. Immigration
3. Jobs and the economy.
4. Abortion
th
Harris had no track record on the economy, other than pointing to Biden's record, and on immigration she "failed", she was claiming at the end she was going to Deport people same as Trump. I mean come on, who would believe her? did anyone?

Abortion, unfortunately is a State issue, in CA it doesn't matter, won't bring out the voters because its not on the ballot. Only states where Abortion is illegal would it bring out the Democrats, but it would also bring out Republicans.

The economy. Morons think whoever is in the white house at the moment is responsible for how their wallet is doing.

If they were getting fat raises they wouldnt care about DEI --------. If their rent hadn't skyrocketed they wouldnt be ripe for the lies of con men like trump.

But when inflation kicked them in the face AND dems seem more focused on DEI --------, it's a recipe for failure.

Dems sure give them a lot of ammo lately. The embarrassing left fringe has become way bigger and louder over the past decade. And it's not even fringe. One of the companies I contract for said during the BLM marches that they should hire more people of color. That DEI ---- really does hurt dem's electoral chances.
