The latest slogan
Link to quote: Mike Johnson to Courts: ‘Step Back’ From Trump’s Dismantling
The left has a new slogan: "Constitutional crisis." Tune into any of the leftist media tv stations and you will hear it. Suddenly, since January 20th, the Executive branch of government has lost its powers. The left has gone judge shopping again looking for Obama and Biden judges to slow down the Trump agenda. As Vice President Vance recently pointed out “judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” I expect they will continue since they have little else but to delay the will of the people.
The President's point man for cutting federal government waste reported into a busy White House recently, as his 4-year-old son stole the spotlight.
After exposing the USAID agency, which btw was created by Executive Order and totally uncontrolled, Musk is looking into the unchecked Obama agency known as The Consumer Protection Agency as well as the politicized Department of Education. Musk’s team announced it was cutting nearly a billion dollars in grants and contracts from the Education Department. Everywhere we are seeing expenditures that most people knew nothing about and likely wouldn't approve of.
Other White House business:
The President met with the king of Jordan, who promised to take in sick Palestinian children but still refused to take in the Palestinian people. Trump would like to see the Palestinians have a homeland away from Isreal. For some reason the Palestinians would rather live in rubble than move away from Israeli borders. Egypt and Jordan want no part of them. Trump has highlighted the obvious.
The Palestinian Authority, in an overture to Trump, ended a yearslong practice of paying the families of Palestinians jailed or killed by Isreal.
Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, is preparing to visit President Trump in hopes of reducing friction by cooperating on trade and with U.S. deportation efforts.
Marc Fogel, an American teacher held captive for more than three years was suddenly freed by the Russians. An appreciative Fogel then met Trump at the White House.
The pressure is on Russia to come to the bargaining table. The President has been talking with both Zelensky and Putin. The holdup may be related to the intense fighting in the Kursk region. Both sides want control of the area ahead of expected peace talks.
Confirmation votes:
Today, the Senate is poised to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.
Gabbard, a former democrat and veteran, incurred the wrath of Hillary Clinton when Gabbard blamed US policy for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Gabbard represented a district in Hawaii and has been in the Army for nearly 22 years. She served two tours in the Middle East and one in Africa and is still a member of the Army Reserve. Gabbard intends to make the intelligence agencies more transparent and less politicized.
Soon the Senate will have to vote on Kash Patel.
Patel is feared by many in the rogue leadership at the FBI. If Patel is confirmed, we will see some accountability for all that has taken place from Comey to Wray. Many fear him, however he told a Senate panel that he would ignore politics and follow the law.
In other news:
Financial firms are rolling back their DEI initiatives. One, Goldman Sachs, will drop its rule that corporate boards it advises must include women and minorities. The state of Missouri is suing Starbuck for its discrimination based on DEI.
Benjamin Netanyahu told Hamas that Israel would resume military operations in the Gaza strip if the group did not release hostages by Saturday.
A federal judge halted Trump’s effort to cut $4 billion in research funding for universities, cancer centers and hospitals. Another judge froze part of the plan earlier on Monday.
Religious groups sued the Department of Homeland Security over a new policy that permits arrests of immigrants inside houses of worship.
Trump signed an executive order to give Musk’s government-slashing team, DOGE, vast reach over the shape & scope of Civil Service. It also directs agency officials to plan for “large scale” cuts to their work force.

Good morning.
Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-OR) wrapped up comments this week to a crowd by calling for them to “fuck” President Donald Trump .
Rep Maxine Dexter Tells Crowd: 'We Have To F**k Trump!'
Does she really want him that bad?
That it is. Good morning to you also.
Looking at her, I don't think Trump would be interested.
The meltdown of the left seems to be many times more than it was 4-8 years ago.
I think the biggest problem they have is that 70 percent of the American people approve of how Trump is handling his second term.
Since most on the left hate the American people and embrace illegal aliens, we will probably watch these meld downs daily for 4 years.
Which, IMHO, is to be expected. He's embarrassed them twice now. More if you take the failed hoaxes and "investigations" into account.
That is a big part of it.
Since most on the left hate the American people and embrace illegal aliens, we will probably watch these meld downs daily for 4 years.
I've enjoyed it thus far.
I think I heard it from Dana Perino that the dems keep taking the wrong side of 90/10 issues. The dems fighting everything Trump does even on issues that Americans overwhelmingly agree with is shooting themselves in the head. Hard to believe they can't understand that.
If there's a common sense question, Democrats take the anti-common sense side of it and have been doing it for a while. They are in thrall to special interest groups that exist to push crazy ideas.
Basically, since 1994 they've been moving from trying to capture the middle by mixing liberalism with pragmatism to straight out leftist authoritarianism.
Now why did i just picture the Jack Nicholson meme where he says ." if what i say offends you, i find that funny , if my finding that funny makes you angry , just remember i find that shit funny too."
I don't think they know how to be embarrassed.
Their end game, it seems, is to double down on stupid.
What should be embarrassing is their new slogan "Fuck you Donald Trump".
Talk about an embarrassment to the country.
As have I but you have to keep a sharp eye out for how they plan on taking the Congress back. Probably will be a lot of double speak and lying....oh, wait....they do that all the time.
Or as he said in the movie Batman: "Wait till they get a load of me."
I don't think so, because as you say:
The regular people are not participating, which means there less ballast against the influence of the extremists.
I'm sure they wish they could do it the way the Bolsheviks took Russia, without a single vote and if Trump is a success, that may be their only way.
The issue with that in my view?
As was shown in the summer of 2020 , they wont go outside their comfort zones and safe spaces , once they do , they find they lose support rapidly .
That's kind of how it's always been.
In the good ol' days, your firebrand local extremist would sit down for breakfast with his buddies at a greasy spoon, and if he started spouting nonsense the other guys would say stuff like "are you sure about this?" or "do you hear yourself"?
Now, the internet enables nutters to find each other online. They're usually terrible at math, so they convince themselves that a few hundred of them constitutes a movement.
Like this one?
I'm disappointed. I thought that he would at least be consistent with his choices and nominate MTG.
If that is a joke, I'm not getting it.
Level of experience and competence.
I won on the over under on how long it would take to hear "constitutional crisis" and "impeach" Trump from the dems and the media. The line was 30 days.
I am a little richer today, thanks dems!
I think those calls are nothing more than trying to set up the 26 election cycle .
They know they dont have the votes in the house for articles of impeachment , and no way will they have the votes in the senate to convict currently.
grandstanding and setting things up in an atmosphere where their influence and real power has been greatly diminished .
They have to keep the base happy so they can keep their jobs next election
Democrats are good at parroting what they are told. I'll give them that.
They always need buzz words or a slogan.
Their authenticity is overwhelming. / S
They need to get over themselves. They aren't exempt from law enforcement by any legal standing.
They could be held / charges with harboring a fugitive.
I think I speak for most Americans when I say welcome home Marc.
another load of unmitigated shit.[✘]

Evidently there are some people who think the Daily Kos is a rational site.
Those same people think Biden did just fine as President despite the actual facts.
Daily Kos and rational site should not be in the same sentence.
James Carville just broke it to them:
‘The cavalry is not coming’ to stop Trump’s agenda."
It seems James Carville and Bill Maher are the only two liberals that are still in touch with reality
Maybe it's because they are real people as opposed to fakes like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
What about Elon?
Dude risked everything and has dedicated most of his life to green energy.
It's telling that the very imbeciles that are crying "Constitutional crisis" are the very imbeciles that are ok with Biden's "Debt Forgiveness" that the SCOTUS deemed unconstitutional, censorship of the people on social media.
These very imbeciles are pissed that Musk is using their very laws to shrink the federal government and reign in the fraud to the tune of BILLIONS.
I guess it's only a "Constitutional crisis" when Trump does it.
That's not really a guess... now .... is it?
It really shows the hypocrisy of the Democrats and the left.
Hardly.
This was referred to as a constitutional crisis too.
There will always be those who leap to extremes. It is not limited to one party.
That changes EVERYTHING!!!!! smh.
I believe my friends on the left call that whataboutism.
And they would cry about it relentlessly if a conservative posted it.
There is a damn big difference between Biden merely advancing an unlikely opinion about how Democrats MIGHT possibly address a Republican finagled imbalance in the Supreme Court in a purely theoretical way and Trump trumping Congress and the Courts with the stroke of his Sharpie thus throwing the world into chaos...
Yep, the difference is if one is triggered by anything Trump and blind acceptance of anything Biden.
It shows that you are viewing this through a partisan lens.
It shows that your claim that a "Constitutional crisis" is mentioned only when Trump does something is wrong.
Much like you do?
I never called a damn thing a "constitutional crisis". That's the blathering of your heroes. Or did you not read that in the article?
Still waiting for you to prove that one.
No, this is what you wrote:
And I responded to what you actually wrote:
Hardly.
This was referred to as a constitutional crisis too.
There will always be those who leap to extremes. It is not limited to one party.
Clearly it is NOT only a constitutional crisis when Trump does it.
I think the main differences is conservatives trust that the country will be okay, and the TDS crowd trembles in fear.
Like a child throwing a temper tantrum.
It is the end of their world.
A true crisis.
So you DIDN'T read the article. just jumped right in to the comments. Go read the article then get back to me.
There literally is no way to recover from you being wrong when you wrote this:
You are flat out wrong and I proved it.
Yet here you are trying to. Once again...go read the article then get back to me.
And here is another example illustrating how wrong you are — fresh off the presses:
Still grasping at imaginary straws are we?
Gold has just reached an all-time high as the whole world retrenches in anticipation of coming Trump induced political and economic collapse!
FAFO...
This economic collapse has led to stocks being mixed today.
You are not serious, right? You are not trying to read something into a normal fluctuation in the stock market are you?
If as jbb says, we are facing political and economic collapse, the market would, in fact, react strongly.
That, as you say, the market is acting normally shows how asinine the claim of economic collapse is.
Was that a piece of sky that just fell on me?
The market is a good bellwether for the economy but the further one goes into the future the less impact it has on the market because too many things could change. Far better to use your kind of analysis for predicting less than a year in advance.
The fact that we do not see a collapse of the stock market does not mean JBB is wrong. Further, a collapse of the market would not mean JBB is right either.
You are viewing this in overly simplistic terms.
I see. The world anticipates economic collapse and the markets do nothing.
What an absurd claim.
Clearly you do not
Strawman. JBB is not 'the world'. JBB did not specify a timeframe.
You again have no argument and instead resort to dishonesty.
Strawman. JBB is not 'the world'.
Lol. He literally said "The world retrenches in anticipation".
did not specify a timeframe.
He claimed the world is acting because it anticipates economic collapse. DId you not understand what he wrote?
I assume you do and are just engaging in partisanship of the most dishonest kind His claim is absurd. Yet because he's on your team, you try and salvage it by making even more absurd claims and then misrepresenting what was said. Sad.
Gold and precious metals are the classic hedge against inflation and have historically peaked in advance of economic recessions. (past due) By the normal indicators of price to earnings ratios most stocks are way overvalued. Fighting inflation is never painless and Trump has zero tolerance. In the end economics is just math. The amount of money is only one factor. The circulation of money is what concerns markets with uncertainty and risk. Pending trade wars and unprecedented cuts in federal spending are burning fuses at this point. My point about record gold prices is that they are a leading indicator. Trump is already baking bad numbers into the mix.
I know.
Explain this to Sean.
Did you not realize that you talked about the stock market and that I responded to your focus on the stock market?
Endless dishonesty from your posts, Sean.
So the world anticipating economic collapse resulted in gold futures falling. Solid analysis.
We must commence panic immediately....
If you want to publicly claim the stock market would not respond at all if the world anticipated economic collapse, there's really nothing left for me to say. Sometimes, the best argument is letting the other person talk.
And again you engage in dishonesty. Here is what I wrote:
The stock market would absolutely respond if it (collectively) anticipates eminent economic collapse. It would not collapse on the possibility of same over the next few years. That mere possibility will be factored into the market but would not cause a collapse.
Now if we had something major happen like the removal of the USD as the world's principal reserve currency, then that is something the market would immediately react to, and harshly.
The market is skittish, but the events need to be more near term.
You are viewing this in overly simplistic terms.
Sensible reallocation of money in anticipation of historic indicators is hardly a panic. It happens incrementally all the time. Though I actually have a degree in economics, one does not need one to understand that trade wars and drastic cuts in government spending will result in less profits and economic contractions. There are "Laws of Economics". My professional career was as factory rep for a major international manufacturing corporation. I guarantee you that the crazy shit that Trump is doing right now is the #1 topic in corporate boardrooms around the world. And, not in a good way. No country has ever won a trade war. All sides lose. Panic? No. But, I have reapportioned investments...
No, no. You said "economic collapse". It's definitely time to panic.
So... not a "collapse" then?
Maybe that was just a touch melodramatic?
China definitely won the one with us. Not through tariffs, though.
I suggest you invest everything in Trump's crypto schemes...
Imagine serving Democratic Presidents running crypto grifts!
Sounds like great advice. I'll have to move money out of Dutch tulips...
That's so far down my list of "crazy shit I really can't believe is actually happening" I haven't even thought about it.
The friends and the family of rich and powerful people have always been quite legally given financial opportunities they did not earn merely for providing access to power. It has been a problem for Presidents since at least John Adams. Nobody has ever done a damn thing about it. That said, Joe and Jill Biden's taxes are public going back for fifty years and try as they may the gop never nailed them for an ill gotten or unreported dollar. The same for Bill and Hillary Clinton. No President has ever gone all in on the grift like Trump is. I cannot imagine a sitting President and his wife and kids, of either party, actively promoting and selling personal crypto schemes. Maybe you should think about it. If Hunter Biden getting a corporate board seat bothered you, you should think about it...
Stating the obvious here, but professional politicians with tax attorneys are not actually going to reveal criminal activity or corruption in their tax returns. The idea that Trump's are some window into fraudulent or criminal activity is nonsense. That is not to say there isn't fraud or criminal activity... just that he will not have reported it to the US Govt.
Me neither, but as I've already said it's just one drop in a hurricane of WTF.
As soon as the tulip trade settles. Please tell me an economist understands the reference.
They have yet to work out a scale with which to measure my indifference about Hunter Biden.
[deleted][✘]
I am thanking Trump for that. My meager investment in gold and gold futures is paying off big.
Please for the love of everything leftists please keep panicking and buy up all the gold you can!
My retirement fund needs the bump!
Russians take to the streets of Moscow to react to Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation
[✘]
Your point is.....?
Bullshit. Using a photo of something completely different is disingenuous to say the least.........
Crowds not only gathered in Russia to mark the date, but also in Sevastopol, Crimea where they waved flags
Meta cleaned up @6.1
Democrats are constipated over the Constitution? Especially after Biden ignored the courts over immigration, debt forgiveness, and free rides for NATO? That turd won't float.
Hey, nice bull ya' got there. Sure shits a lot, though.
Yes, as any patriotic American should be, but sure, let's hear what a Republican who voted for a convicted felon to run our country has to say...
Yeah, that's a whole lot of rightwing radio bullshit that has nothing to do with the constitution.
True, your bullshit claims sank almost as fast as you posted them.
It’s not constipation.
It’s chronic butthurt.
