It was hilarious (actually depressing) watching people get excited about Trump winning. It's a virtual mirror image of his last term. Promised all these changes then immediately capitulate once elected.
They all touch the wall.
Nothing significant will ever change through votes.
The thing I don't get about you sad sacks is that he's nominating people like Hegseth and Kash Patel. If you don't think that's a severe break from the norm, you're living in a delusional world where Jared Taylor can be president and Christmas comes twice a year.
When someone's litmus test is, "if he doesn't come out and denounce Israel and name the Jew," I suppose he's no different than the other options.
Otherwise if you look at the individual appointments, despite a few head-scratchers, the cabinet he's assembling is worlds better than any other of my lifetime.
Its the same old "he did a thing we don't like, everything else he did is forgotten now and he is no better than the opposition."
Like, this is a pretty bad thing and he deserves every bit of pushback on it, but people can't seem to separate that from a Leftist REEEEE response they feel compelled on.
The logic I've heard is that he will be a useful weapon against the Cartels because he's a kind of no-nonsense hardass. We shall see how this pans out.
There is no excuse for picks for nominations that should be disqualified by the most simple background check or their track record.
And people are aware and calling him out on it. I don't think he's an idiot, he'll get the message and withdraw the nomination, hopefully.
Looking less like “drain the swamp” and more like “became the swamp”

Turns out trump is still trump. He never learned.
