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.

Lol @ having an opinion on how well the transportation secretary performed.

Buttigieg was in charge of transportation during a time when a ton of trains derailed and caused environmental disasters. the train in East Palestine OH in particular made a lot of headlines. thats why people think he did poorly.

Hmm no one’s questioning my take on

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I just read your posts as comedic interludes. I just chuckle to myself and move on.


Pete drove trains for Norfolk Southern, who knew?

Garland was a failure as he took to long to prosecute Trump . He needed to appoint Jack Smith quicker and mandate him if charges were warranted to act quickly so Trump couldn’t run out the election clock

This is my feeling too, but I'm surprised you agree with that.

Well that combined with the fact that dumb people think the transportation secretarycaused those things and there are a lot of dumb people.

What are the positive things about his tenure that we can talk about instead?

Do you honestly believe I want to talk to you about this?

I'm just trying to help. We know Mayor Pete did a great job as transportation secretary because he's Mayor Pete...but how can we prove it?


Republicans TURN Against Their Own Voters

So they vote for pro-abortion access and for
anti-abortion candidates? Very interesting split ticket.

What? We treated you like crap and you voted for us?
Must mean you're okay with us doing it more. Thanks for your vote.

It takes 2 seconds. 3 if you have to pull your finger out of your belly button before you start typing.

More likely 4 seconds because you've got to smell that finger first.


Trump's authoritarian takeover HAS BEGUN

Study Germany 1933. It took them just 2 months to
destroy all institutions. Democracy did not stand a chance.

This isn’t some Hollywood movie that lets you go back to
your happy little life once the credits end. This is for real.

Trying to help me do what task?

If you'd like to prove something, I suggest the internet to help you out.

What specifically do you think trump has done that leads you to believe he is going to have an authoritarian takeover?

For a political ploy probably yes .
But since it wasn’t , contrary to maga narrative , and believing American should of cared more about justice , it shouldn’t of been a problem .
So I’m not sure your reflection up there is good representation on how good or bad garland was .

There should be more then that justify his entire body of work

There is more then poor or great job .
Indifferent can comes to mind .

Gorgo claimed thinking that Buttigieg did poorly is "delusional" so I'm forced to assume that he thinks he did a good or perhaps an excellent job


Thats fair


by Luckbox Inc k

You are not forced to do any such thing. It would be wise for you to assume I think he did not do poorly, but anything else would be you just making crap up.

Color me unsurprised that you have chosen "making crap up" and then claimed to have been forced into it.

It's called a strawman.


by Montrealcorp k

Thats fair

You were right the first time. There is more than just "great" and "poor." I think he did an adequate to above average job. I think believing he did "poorly" is absurd, as mentioned. Someone assuming that means I think he was OMG THE BEST TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY EVAR is just being ridiculous.

And tilting at strawmen.


by Gorgonian k

This is my feeling too, but I'm surprised you agree with that.

I think you would be shocked to hear that I also think he would have been convicted if Merrick Garland had done a better job


by Gorgonian k

Well that combined with the fact that dumb people think the transportation secretarycaused those things and there are a lot of dumb people.

hmm, seems like it was his responsibility.

Of course he would have been.

lol yeah because he oversees it means he caused it. Good thinking, bozo.
