Trumpland, The times they are a changing

**david44** · 17-01-2025, 03:41 PM

As sleepy Joe nods off we are at the Dawn of Trump 2 the revenge.
I recall Hiler's failed coup then taking power as the destruction of the albeit flawed but democratic Weimar Republic.
I think future historians will note this as the zenith of the great American Dream when he talks of invading other allies democracies like Panama and Denmark.

Will he really deport millions, take Panama Greenland?
Many controversial policies planned from Ukraine, Abortion, Winnowing public jobs and perhaps of immediate global influence tariffs.

The only upside I see he cannot run again and 2028 will have a new fresh POTUS.The Dems have plenty of time to select a winner?

Many of Trump's choices seem immature and ill informed. Let us hope the civil servants governors judges congress and diplomats can temper his X fuelled rages and rants.

When we look at his fans from Benji, Marj Taylor Green Orban or Putin I am reminded of a phrase from my schooldays , "You are judged by teh company you keep".

I wish the great Repblic well especially the women, poor and minorities who will be the victims his horrid hubris.

Carrie Underwood....

Yup, not looking forward to it, David. I am keeping my eye on what has been happening, especially since the 25% tariffs could be starting on his first day in office.
Americans are so stupid by putting him in charge.

I am no advocate of illegal migration but can imagine many folks will be terrified, though I doubt unless they really "seal the S border " how it can stop when we compare poverty in Latin rural slums with even min wage life in USA.

They could close teh entry points to all non US citizens or bona fide "Tourists with pre approved Viusa , Money Onward ticket just like here"

However I cannot foresse many real US citizens queueing up to be knockers, pool cleaners maids and gardners for teh fat cats, a pool of cheap or better undocumented cheap labour is great to supress all wages and control US workers.

Of course there are some alternatives , like criminal sanctions for landlords drs hospitals taxi firm who emply illegals cheap or I saw a gung ho Maga type solution is to put a bounty! on delivering Mexican or Canadian illegals to the border? Not sure how they will deport folks to places like Cuba which may refuse landing ?

The irony is the WASP hegemony is waning and their forebears too were undocumented when they violently dispossessed the native Americans. From ocahntas to Pucker Hunters what a mess.

Not when you look at what the other side were offering. The Americans preferred a less competent president (Trump) who would lead the country in a very different direction.

I’d say you’re right.
