They didn’t even vote for him so why do they have any right to say who will help him. McConnell(Rino)/Pelosi/Obama/Biden lost the election and now are still bellowing on how they want things to run. McConnell is not running the show – just participating. President Trump is choosing people who he can trust and found out in his last ring around the roses that there were too many other people who he relied on who worked against him.
Now, do all of you get the gest? McConnell should just do his new job and quit trying to run the show. And, all of these naysayers lost their vote and don’t have any say.
President-elect Donald Trump’s second administration is shaping up to be much different from his first.
(Yes, he found out that the people who he relied on mislead him and now show up as the back-stabbers and losers.)
The first Trump Administration had its share of establishment Republicans and traditional conservatives who clashed with him, including those who served as secretary of state (Rex Tillerson), national security director (John Bolton), White House chief of staff (John F. Kelly) or U.S. attorney general (Jeff Sessions). And some members of the first Trump Administration — former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham and ex-Mike Pence national security aide Olivia Troye — endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election and spoke at the National Democratic Convention in Chicago.
(His clashes with the folks in the first administration were all losers since they were trying to make him fail in his job; but, he ended up as accomplishing more than any past president.)
In contrast, many of the picks for Trump’s second administration are hardcore loyalists and far-right MAGA Republicans. And quite a few critics, from Democrats to Never Trump conservatives, are warning that the president-elect is trying to put together an administration of extremists.
(There are no extremists in MAGA – only in the Democratic Party are there progressives who now back the Hamas terrorists.)
Conservative attorney George Conway, a Never Trumper, isn’t optimistic that Trump’s most “appalling” nominees will encounter a lot of resistance from “spineless” senators in 2025. But Conway has pointed out that the GOP’s U.S. Senate majority will be only a small one, and that four or five Republican defections could sink a nominee if Senate Democrats stick together.
(Only a leftie who lost their vote in the election would say that.)

Donald Trump’s incoming administration is filled with ‘losers’.
(That is your opinion which seems part of the opposition to any decision President Trump would make.)
“Each day, the damning information mounts about one Trump pick or another, with more reasons for various senators to vote against them,” Lawrence explains. “I cannot predict, for instance, whether Sen. Mitch McConnell — a polio victim as a toddler, before vaccines — will support anti-vax Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the nation’s top heath leader, especially since we now know that RFK Jr.’s lawyer wants the government to withdraw approval for the polio vaccine, and McConnell has said that is dangerous for public health and potentially disqualifying for RFK Jr.’s nomination.”
Lawrence adds, “So I don’t think it’s fair to predict what McConnell will do next year, when he is no longer the GOP leader and is unlikely to run for reelection in 2026.
Lawrence notes that when Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) spoke at a recent No Labels gathering, she was vehemently critical of Trump allies who are trying to bully Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) into rubber-stamping Trump’s more controversial nominees.
“It’s not fair to give up on any potential Republican resistance at this point — before Trump is president; before anyone has been officially nominated; before FBI background checks and continued revelatory reporting by journalists; before it is necessary to cast a series of fateful votes,” Lawrence argues. “Most Senate Republicans will vote to confirm all of Trump’s personnel choices. But a fluid group of four GOP no votes, depending on the nominee and added to the Democratic opposition, could block those with the most potential to cause havoc or tragedy.”
(How can he trust the FBI?)
Lawrence adds, “With that in mind, I’m not going to indulge in anticipatory disappointment. Even though I may be disappointed in the end.
(That is your right to be disappointed since you are giving your opinion right here and now.)
Look how you treated our candidate for starters and what you put him and the American people through and the terrible job Biden did.
All we heard from the lefty media people were lies and the public knew they were not telling the truth – every day – day after day. Voters are not stupid – they did their home work. It just wasn’t one thing.
Van Jones Shreds Liberals: “We Look Like Idiots” Over Trump Strategy!
Since Donald Trump’s unexpected victory in the 2016 presidential election, Democrats and the liberal media have struggled to understand how he succeeded against all odds. This disconnect, rooted in an outdated approach to media and messaging, continues to plague their strategy. One prominent voice calling attention to this issue is CNN’s Van Jones, who recently shared his insights into Trump’s success and the failures of the left to adapt to a rapidly changing media landscape.
During a conversation with former CNN commentator Chris Cillizza, Jones dissected how Trump capitalized on the rise of alternative media while traditional outlets fell behind. The discussion revealed a stark reality: Trump’s unconventional strategies have reshaped the political landscape, leaving Democrats playing catch-up.
“How the hell did Donald Trump figure out that the mainstream media is the fringe and the fringe is now the mainstream?” Cillizza asked during the conversation. “The 78-year-old guy who doesn’t even have a computer and still, like, writes handwritten notes? How did he become the guy who cracked the code?”
Jones credited Trump’s success to a combination of recognizing the shift in media consumption and leveraging unconventional platforms, such as podcasts, to connect with voters. He even speculated that Elon Musk and Barron Trump may have influenced Trump’s media strategy.
However, Jones emphasized that Trump himself deserves credit for understanding the changing dynamics and acting accordingly.
“Guys, can we cut it out? Donald Trump is not an idiot,” Jones said. “Donald Trump, let me just be very clear. Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all critics. You know how I know? Because he has the White House, the Senate, the House, the popular vote…”
Jones highlighted how Trump’s approach to politics has been nothing short of groundbreaking, combining bold decisions with a laser focus on tangible policies.
“This dude is a phenomenon,” Jones said. “He is the most powerful human on Earth and in our lifetime. And we’re still saying, ‘Well, how is this guy [doing it]?’ We look like idiots.”
Jones compared Trump’s movement to a political juggernaut, driven by unprecedented fervor and loyalty from his base. His willingness to engage with a broad spectrum of voices—including critics and independent platforms like Joe Rogan’s podcast—set him apart.
Cillizza echoed Jones’ sentiments, admitting that Democrats have struggled to keep pace with Trump’s innovative strategies. While Trump embraced modern platforms and connected with diverse audiences, Democrats relied on more traditional methods, such as door-knocking and conventional campaign ads.
Jones specifically criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for failing to engage with influential figures like Joe Rogan during her campaign, missing opportunities to expand her reach.
“Unlike Kamala Harris, [Trump] had concrete policies and answers,” Jones remarked. “You’re talking about a guy who was able to survive and triumph over everything thrown against him.”
This lack of adaptability, Jones suggested, underscores a broader issue within Democratic circles: an inability to innovate and move beyond entrenched strategies.
Jones didn’t hold back when addressing the liberal media’s portrayal of Trump. For years, mainstream outlets have dismissed Trump as unintelligent or incompetent, a narrative Jones believes has backfired.
“Van Jones calls out liberal media figures for habitually saying that Trump is stupid, and notes that mainstream media figures are the ones that end up ‘looking like idiots,’” a recent tweet summarized.
By underestimating Trump, Jones argued, critics failed to grasp the depth of his appeal and the effectiveness of his tactics.
Jones’ candid remarks highlight a growing divide between those who understand the evolving media landscape and those who remain stuck in the past. Trump’s willingness to adapt has not only reshaped Republican politics but also forced a reckoning within the Democratic Party.
While some may view Jones’ praise for Trump’s strategy as controversial, it sheds light on critical weaknesses in the left’s approach to communication and campaigning. The focus on external blame for electoral losses—rather than introspection—has only deepened these challenges.
As the media landscape continues to evolve, Democrats face a choice: adapt or risk further alienation. Jones’ critique serves as a wake-up call for the left to embrace new platforms, engage diverse audiences, and craft clear, actionable policies.
The question remains: Will Democratic leaders heed the advice and rise to the challenge, or will they continue to rely on outdated tactics?
One thing is clear—Trump’s success has redefined the rules of engagement in U.S. politics, and the consequences of ignoring this shift are becoming increasingly evident. Jones’ blunt assessment may ruffle feathers, but it also offers a path forward for those willing to listen and learn.
In the end, the political landscape is not just about ideology; it’s about strategy, adaptation, and understanding the pulse of the electorate. For now, as Jones puts it, “We look like idiots,” but it’s never too late to change the game.Posted in Trump
How should the country handle the Obama eight years of weaponization and the four years of Biden weaponization of our country. Should they indict the people involved or heavily fine them?
If the country doesn’t want to go through trials/tribulation. (Trials and tribulations are seen as tests of faith and opportunities for spiritual growth. The word “tribulation” itself comes from a Latin noun meaning “threshing board,” symbolizing the separation of good from bad through hardship.) Then each of the people who were involved, including people on the outside/corporations who were involved should be heavily fined and the fines go into the Treasury to reduce the debt which they caused.
Then, President Trump would have more time to advance his agenda rather than spending time on phony trials as they did with President Trump. We all know that the lefties are not willing to charge any of their people; but, the records are available and a commission should be established to settle this.
Just make an official list of people and what they were charged with, check it twice through the judicial system , and then charge their heavily laden savings accounts. This should reduce the debt they made against the country and put us back on top.
