Trump's been re-elected - now what?

Trump is fighting the pushback against appointing Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, he really wants Gaetz in that position.

And also disturbing is his announcement he will use the military to carry out his mass deportations.
Trump says he would use ‘military assets’ to carry out mass deportations

 

That's exactly why things went the way they did! And yes, it is a revolution of sorts. Let's pray the new team can overcome the machine.

 

Bill is an old school Democrat, the good kind. The kind Trump was at the time, Elon was, RFKjr was, Tulsi was... That party got largely taken over by power hungry elitist kooks. They all say they didn't leave the Democrat party, the party left them. The democrat party machine has been attacking others, blaming them, and promoting conspiracy theories. They strive to dictate how to live every aspect of our lives. And not allow dissenting views. They claim the opposition is trying to "steal democracy" while they're stealing our freedoms. Enough people saw through it and expect better.

 

In what way is that 'disturbing' to you?

 

Now he intends to nominate the WWE's Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education and Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

McMahon has little background in education, but did serve on Connecticut state's board of education from 2009 until 2010. She is the board chair of the pro-Trump think tank the America First Policy Institute, meaning her confirmation in the Republican-majority Senate is likely.



Dr. Oz has been criticized by experts for promoting what they called bad health advice about weight loss drugs and "miracle" cures, and suggesting malaria drugs as a cure for Covid-19 in the early days of the pandemic. Such drugs proved to be ineffective.



So who's next? It seems if you're loyal to Trump and have made a name for yourself you have a good shot at a cabinet pick. Who needs qualifications?

The fact that Linda McMahon "was interested in teaching" as a young woman ISN'T enough qualifications to be the Secretary of Education? Then,
what is? (Plus, all she needs to do is fire everyone other than herself).

 

Gaetz has withdrawn!! https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/21/politics/matt-gaetz-withdrawing-attorney-general/index.html

 

I found this article interesting, I put the link in the title and quoted a section of it.

An upward spiral – how small acts of kindness and connection really can change the world, according to psychology research

"Small acts of connection shift attitudes
Numerous studies support the power of individual acts of connection to drive larger-scale change.

For instance, researchers studying the political divide in the U.S. found that participants self-identifying as Democrats or Republicans “didn’t like” people in the other group largely due to negative assumptions about the other person’s morals. People also said they valued morals like fairness, respect, loyalty and a desire to prevent harm to others.

I’m intentionally leaving out which political group preferred which traits – they all sound like positive attributes, don’t they? Even though participants thought they didn’t like each other based on politics, they also all valued traits that benefit relationships.

One interpretation of these findings is that the more people demonstrate to each other, act by act, that they are loyal friends and community members who want to prevent harm to others, the more they might soften large-scale social and political disagreements."
