Cliche but its easier to destroy than create.

An organization like USAID coming back will take way more than a stroke of the pen if it lays dead for several years.

Also we have budget fight in a few weeks so thats the time to push for that.
The point is that without actual legislative victories, EO stuff is just temporary. Think about all of the immigration shit that has been done, and then rescinded, by executive fiat between the last three administrations? I know that laws can be circumvented by a particularly emboldened Administration, but making an ironclad immigration law that is as restrictive as Hart-Cellar was inclusive is possible, and it makes any future EO trickery of a Democratic Administration to undermine the will of the People on immigration that much harder.

I just feel like I'm going into a timeloop and it's 2017 again. All of these EOs are great but to me it's no substance without the force of permanent law changes.
 
This is bullshit. You can do two things at the same time. He isn't on a mana limit. This isn't a HoI4 focus tree.
He’s currently dismantling the Feds and moving quicker than anyone ever imagined. Trump nominee Kash Patel has advanced with a procedural vote. And every Biden appointed attorney is getting fired. The black pill attitude is unearned. Trump is just getting started.
 
Considering what he did last time he had a majority (when he was first elected before the midterms) they won't do this. The House Republicans in particular will self-sabotage

This is bullshit. You can do two things at the same time. He isn't on a mana limit. This isn't a HoI4 focus tree. Congress can get its shit together and stop making nonsensical subcommittees about UFOs and interviewing actual lying fucking retards like David Grusch and Jake Barber and put together an omnibus that has every bell and whistle that would be needed for the future to continue what has been and what will be set in motion. This is the ONLY way you win. EOs can be turned over on Day One. People can be rehired. It takes time and effort and political capital to get a law overturned once it's on the books.

These people had four years to figure out a gameplan. If they don't make these steps, then they simply aren't serious.
The gameplan Trump figured out is "these RINOS are useless fucks who aren't going to do shit". Why do you assume his plan can involve the decisions and actions of other humans who are openly and covertly opposed to him? Do you mean he should have CIA agents torturing their spouses to force their actions?
 
New Trump press conference where he refers to himself in the third person and keeps reminiscing about all the big beautiful golden domes that got destroyed in Ukraine. It's indescribable:


This guy's going to end a war because he's upset about shiny buildings getting hurt. Imagine being some pro-NATO apparatchik and watching this. It must be like watching a toddler accidentally destroy your criminal enterprise.
 
The black pill attitude is unearned
Why the fuck is this the script? Every time someone is being slightly critical or "maybe we should look at this more objectively," it's 'uhh you're blackpilling! you're dooming!!' This is ridiculous. Newsflash: He isn't "just getting started" because this isn't the first rodeo. He was President already. I am optimistic about him, because he talked a massive game this time around and appears to be making heavy waves, but you can't delude yourself into thinking there isn't room for critique or improvement. Trump isn't King and we don't have lese majeste.

He is making incredible ground against the Federal apparatus, I agree, but he is moving like molasses with the one thing that I personally care about: the mass deportation of the tens of millions within this country. That is something that needs to be rightfully critiqued and pointed out. If they don't take this shit seriously, not just with getting the boot in with the actual shit right now but with passing a comprehensive immigration reform law that changes this system as radically as Hart-Cellar, then we're right back to square one when he's out of office.

If he is not seriously considering getting Congress on board in some manner to pass a legislative bill package that formalizes the "MAGA" intentions into the law of the land, which makes it incredibly difficult for any future Administration to dislodge, then he isn't being serious.

I think he is planning to arrest the lot of them for their numerous crimes and replace them with more MAGA friendly republicans interested in actually enacting the will of the people instead of self enrichment.

You can’t change law if your attorneys and every Fed is working against you. Currently there’s been legal battle after legal battle. This isn’t something that can be fixed overnight. The reality is that we’re coming off of Democrats controlling the House for 12 out of the last 16 years. Republicans are going to need more than one term to set things right. That’s reality.

Call me an idiot, but considering the attitude Trump has with his second coming, I believe he has a red button to top them all to tackle this. A big, beautiful golden red button. I figure he's itching to press it.

Again, this is not likely, but if push comes to shove... we'll have to see when we cross that bridge.
 
Democrats have the lowest approval rating they've had in the past two decades. They just elected a twink to vice the DNC chair, their actual DNC chair said that their two biggest demographics are the rich and college students on the news yesterday, and if there is even a fucking sliver of corruption that comes out of the whole DOGE debacle Republicans will never stop reminding the people that Democrats fought tooth and nail to hide it. They have no reliable base anymore outside of women.
Never forget that there is an eternal army of simps that will always give into the worst women out there for a crumb of pussy.

I remember this exact refrain, and he didn't imprison anyone even though they deserved it. So forgive me if I don't think this will happen.

You can simply change the law by pressuring Congressmen to get their shit together. Wasn't Elon talking about forming a massive SuperPAC to keep these people in line? Doesn't the Party have a Whip? They have an on-paper majority, and considering that not a single appointee has been stonewalled in Congress, including actual on-the-line ones like RFK and Gabbard, I don't think the Senate, at least, will offer opposition.
Republicans are going to need more than one term to set things right. That’s reality.
The reality is they have two years to get as much done as possible.
 
I hate to play this card but I can't help but feel like all these air disasters were an inevitability of crumbling infrastructure and not something Trump and Musk are directly responsible for. To which I mean, if Kamala had won I sincerely doubt we'd even see these stories in the news. Like how every disaster under the Biden regime was magically Trump's fault.
