Trump, again: What is he doing this time?

We have long thread covering Verruckterfuhrer as POTUS 2017-2021, and the last nearly four years.

Since he is now the president-elect, his actions will affect his actual term; my thinking is we need to track his actions in a new thread. It's possible two threads are needed, one political, one personal.

I'll start with "No price tag." Verruckterfuhrer has said he doesn't care what his Radical Deportation Policy (RDP) will cost because it's absolutely necessary.

I can see him starting RDP,.
It gets bogged down because it's poorly planned.
Too many companies want their name on the blank check.
The costs reaching levels that even Verruckterfuhrer can't ignore.
He tries to kick it back to the individual states to deal with (like the COVID pandemic).

 

What is going to happen with the Department of Justice?

Are we going to be under the rule of someone with ethics more flexible than those of Bill Barr?

Someone more beholden to Verruckterfuhrer than Barr was? Yes, that is possible.

Will Clarence Thomas begin openly taking bids for his votes? Will Jinny hold an official position with Project 2025?


And this is just the tip of the iceberg threatening to tear through the USA.

 

I think he can ignore any level of costs.
He was President with a Republican Congress and blew the most massive budget deficits in history, even before COVID happened.
Don't kid yourself thinking Republicans don't like budget deficits.

 

Trump begins to name appointees who could oversee his mass deportation plans

A pretty good explanation of what Verruckterfuhrer's RDP plan will be like.

The scale of this is mind-boggling. While I hope it doesn't happen, I will be interested in how this might be organized (hoping it fails epically, although it would be expensive).

 

Republicans win the House, NBC News projects, as Trump's party takes full control of Washington

Adding to the already bad news,
Verruckterfuhrer will also have a
repub majority in the HOR.


So much for the 2024 Blue Wave.

 

Hey, let's have a FAUX News assmouth as Secretary of Defense.

Edit: There are reports several of Verruckterfuhrer's appointments will face confirmation fights. I think we can now consider many news reports as extremely optimisic, and largely inaccurate.

 

Mentioning Hegseth and possible confirmation issues...which of course won't be issues.

Maybe Frank N. Gaetz will be able to help clear up (erase) this little misunderstanding.



BTW I know the DOJ has no power over state cases (in theory), but that doesn't mean some arm twisting & testicle crushing wouldn't happen.

 

Hegseth was vetted, in a way. He lobbied for soldiers accused of crimes committed while they were actively serving.

Pete Hegseth's Role in Trump’s Controversial Pardons of Men Accused of War Crimes

The Gallagher demotion reversal was big news, pissed off a lot of top military brass. And IIRC afterwords Gallagher was a speaker at several Verruckterfuhrer, & MAGA, events.

If the military has a long standing policy of protecting their own (I remember posts where some TFPers said that is greatly exaggerated), Gallagher must've been a real monster. Just the kind of "man" Bonespurs Verruckterfuhrer likes...and wishes he could be.

 

House ethics committee keeps Matt Gaetz report private

The House Fluid Ethics Committee voted, along partisan lines , not to release their report on Frank N. Gaetz.

I'm shocked .
.

Should we hope for a different result on 05 Dec 2024?
We could, but why ?
