Trump 2nd term prediction thread

Trump 2nd term prediction thread

So, looks like Trump not only smashed the electoral college, but is looking on track to win the popular vote, which seems to be an unexpected turn of events, but a clear sign of the current temperature in the country and perhaps the wider world.

Would be interested to hear views on how his 2nd term will pan out from both sides of the aisle - major happenings, what he's going to get done, what he's not going to get done, the impact of his election on the current conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, whether his popularity will remain the same, wane, or increase, etc.

A bit of an anemic OP, I know, just interested to hear people's thoughts now that the election uncertainty is over.

You’ll be happy to know my btc/Eth portfolio is living its best life

And now trump wants to do away with capital gains on crypto?! MAGA!

careful there as the proposal for now is for USA-based protocols (so ripple and the like), not BTC nor ETH

Yes.

See Merrick Garland

You rate Merrick Garland as unintelligent?


by Luciom k

that's not what Nazism is and I don't see why you can't use genocidal instead of nazist.

and templar pilled people don't want to genocide all Muslims just the jihadist (=warriors, fighting) ones.

why warp the meaning of a word completely behind recognition like that? especially when under your definition victor can claim some Israeli are Nazi-adjacent? a Jew definitionally can't be Nazi or Nazi adjacent if you use the words in a proper way

Yes, Im sure the crusaders never killed innocent women and children and only killed the warriors.


by d2_e4 k

Luciom, will you be explaining why locking people up indefinitely with no charges, no trial, and no access to counsel is also a good thing and not authoritarian at all?

My guess is it will be something along the lines of "Our freedoms are negative rights, not positive rights." As if thats an explanation for ****ing anything.

You hyperbolic much?

This nonsensical talking point about the government conspiring w/ SM companies to censor the hunter biden laptop story needs to stop. I know facts are a burden, but this was debunked years ago. There's been plenty of proof via leaked emails and sworn testimony, that this wasn't the case.

You're incorrect.

When Elon first purchased Twitter he released "the twitter files". The very first one was about the suppression of the laptop story.

Saying something was debunked by CNN is halarious. They're a controlled arm of the democrats. This needs to stop.


That happened on trump's watch bud. And didn't he and other republicans have stories suppressed too?

no

Yes.

See Merrick Garland

Merrick Garland was nominated because he is a capable person, not because he is an idiot, which he isn't. If you could think, you'd understand that. Matt Gaetz was nominated specifically because he is an idiot. Gaetz is such an idiot, in fact, that it will send the libz into a frenzy and they will be oh so pwned by the great Trump yet again by his brilliant nomination, and will rub in the faces of the libz all the stink pinky he and Matt will be getting, with the blessing of a majority of the people, from BLATFROCE. And there's nothing those ***** libz can do about it.Or are you doubting Trump's greatness?

Apparently you're on my ignore list, which makes complete sense. Very well. Adios. Take your L and move on, schooboy.


He won't be confirmed so it doesn't really matter. Perhaps it was a genius play in order to get others like RFK actually confirmed.

They'll put up a fuss. Won't confirm Gaetz, but they can't blanket deny everyone.

Genius move now that I think about it more.


Either the normal way or by recess appointment Gaetz absolutely will be confirmed


by StoppedRainingMen k

Unless you had family or friends die in Gaza, no person who decided this was the time for a protest vote deserves to be taken seriously. You knew what you were getting into. Good luck have fun. This is on you now

does it count if they died in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, or West Bank? what about if they were just maimed? or just lost their home?


You’re a white dude in Ohio trying to brownsplain to an Iranian from Iran so I doubt your clarification is relevant

As well he should be. Team SmearShitAllOverOurselves won. They get to SmearShitAllOverOurselves. This is America.

CNN is a reasonable source. It may have bias, but it doesn't outright lie to it's audience on the daily, like Fox and many right-win media outlets. Tell me the equivalent of a media matters.org site for conservative media, and then we'll have a real conversation. None exist.

From the CNN article:

Musk and his conservative allies have insinuated the released messages provide evidence of illicit behavior by the FBI, suggesting the exchange of secret files pertaining to Hunter Biden, and improper payments made to Twitter. But CNN’s interviews with people directly involved with the interactions and with those who have reviewed the documents disprove those claims.

Matt Taibbi, one of the journalists Musk tapped this month to comb through Twitter internal messages for evidence of free speech violations, said himself on December 2 that “there is no evidence - that I’ve seen - of any government involvement in the laptop story.”

What is clear, however, is that following Russia’s meddling campaign in 2016, plus after years of interactions with federal agents about how to spot foreign disinformation efforts, Twitter executives were hyper suspicious of anything that looked like foreign influence and were primed to act, even without direction from the government.

Would Matt Taibbi be a reliable source... since he was hired by Elon? 😀

my point was that the extent of the destruction and mass murder done by the Democratic Biden regime extends far beyond Gaza.

but I guess that does not really address your assertion that only people who have family or friends directly murdered can care about genocide. I guess thats such an absurd notion that its not even worth addressing and I dont think I would be able to do it without an insult.

Before you jumped in, the conversation with chez was about having sympathy for those who "jumped out of the frying pan into the fire". That category doesn't include people who "just care", it includes only those who have skin in the game.

right, well I dont think SRM or anyone else would use that metric when discussing trans people or illegal immigrants or even minorities.


d2, I dont think it's as clear a divide as you suggest.

So many with connections to anyone in the region have 'skin in the game'. Including a lot of Jewish people.

I was more referring to the white dude in Ohio furiously banging away at his keyboard as an example of those who "just care".


I understand that as well. Caring is very good imo.

It's further removed but did they vote for trump?

Man you can do X4 on poly with this read.

I mean you might be right but not pull a gorgo here, go put some stable coin in the trade

And Gaetz out of Congress with his shenanigans.

Then you can put him ambassador to El Salvador or Argentina and it's all good

Garland isn't just "capable".

Garland is one of the top100 legal minds not retired in the USA.

Garland could be head of a top 10 law school or leading partner in a top 10 law firm or a SCOTUS judge making the law for a generation and basically no one could claim he isn't qualified for those roles.

That doesn't in any way endorse his choices though

No idea. I really have no clue why people keep believing a con man who is quite obviously a compulsive liar after he lies to them over and over again. The only explanation I can come up with is that they're morons. I mean, it makes sense, a lot of people are (source: quick glance at the graph of e^(-x^2)).
