This would be the ideal place to begin the deportations. Start by mobilizing the MI National Guard right out from under her, to help the big undertaking, just like Kennedy did to Wallace.

Just don’t let her know exactly where ICE is going to start or the day before the raid Whitmer will do to Trump what the Mayor of Oakland CA did to Trump back in 2017. You can not work with local law enforcement if their bosses are feverishly trying to undermine you

instead of school vouchers, it should be mandatory that parents of children participate in local school functions

make your local schools better, don't ship off the kids to somewhere else

I might agree with you. Problem is only a charter school has the authority to mandate that. Many public schools, they can’t ask the parents to do anything. At the public schools that need the most help and parental involvement, many of the parents speak no English.

Yet they still make more sense than you..

I realize they can't ask parents to do anything, but at the same time I don't think parents have a right to abandon the local school

they live in the community, they pay property taxes in the community, the school plays a huge role in the quality of life.

shipping the kids out that have a future is not the answer

Don't worry, Trump will fix it..

Local school systems are corrupt and bloated anyway. Drain the swamp, start from scratch...

I'm good with that.

Parents should feel better about local elected officials having a say in what it taught as opposed to mandated by the federal government.

Again, California shouldn't decide what is right for North Dakota

John Ratcliffe selected by Trump to be CIA director.

Remember this gal? She embodies nothing if not the full spirit of Hedge and Rat every time they post on this thread.

I'm not saying I agree with the pick, but this is what I"ve been talking about. Gaslighting is so bad and unfiltered social media is the best cleanser we have



One of the key strategies for the Trump campaign was to bypass the media - recognizing that traditional media has little to no influence over new and low propensity voters.

A quote from the campaign


"Everyone has a supercomputer in their pockets... Why are we worried about what CNN is saying?"

That approach ate the Dems lunch in this election.

its a new world and network talking heads aren't a part of it. From what I've been reading some of them are going to find that out in a few days

The Department of Government efficiency

https://www.npr.org/2024/11/12/g-s1-339 ... deep-state

Musk and Ramaswamy will lead it. So such agency exists. As such, they have no real authority NOR do they get one penny of US taxpayer dollars to fund themselves. It takes an act of congress to create a government agency and the democrats will never vote for its creation. They don't have the votes to stop it but I doubt it will even be created anyway. If I had to guess, Musk will fund it himself (on the lean) and the two of these guys will just do all that they can to investigate every government agency and simply report back to Trump on what they find. Then Trump will lean on congressional Republicans to have them turn off the financial spigot on these guys if he has real evidence.

This, this is what it means to be a POTUS.

Trump’s statement announcing this says “…the Department of Government Efficiency will provide advice and guidance from outside of Government” so I’m not sure why “it is not clear” to NPR unless they just don't even read what they report on.

All of Biden's appointees were like gay, or wore women's clothes, or wore women's clothes and compulsively stole luggage at airports, etc so you know they must have been the most highly qualified.

I don't get the wrangling over his military rank, like suddenly the Secretary of Defense has to have been a 4 star general now because Biden's was? Its not a military position, some who filled it were not in the military at all.

well...their response isn't surprising.

Americans are over the gaslighting

Technically, Generals Mattis and Austin were not actually qualified to be SecDef BECAUSE of their rank combined with the fact that they had too recently been active duty in the military (because the position is supposed to be civilian oversight of the military) but both received Congressional waivers of the rule.

Last week’s Bill Maher episode stated that repeatedly…people are done with the woke bullshit…

Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. This is gonna be a fun 4 years.

Trump is going to appoint Gaetz as Attorney General. So far, along with JD Vance, most of his Cabinet-level appointments are Millennials.
