Well "In July 2024, Alireza Amidi became the first president of the U.S. and World Air Sports Federations and the first person of Persian descent to hold the position. " so no.

trump is refusing to use the FBI to conduct background checks on his nominees. Instead he is using "private investigators" to do them and some GOP senators are not happy. Two of trumps investigators were captured on film on their way to interview Matt Gaetz, image below.

Everyone should see that its important to get a direct insight into the minds of trump supporters. thanks

For Musk I'd say $20-30 billion.Of which he might kick back $2-3 billion to trump.

Elon Musk paid $44 billion for X and its now worth 9.4 billion according to Fidelity. People are fleeing Elon Musk’s X in droves. What’s happening on Threads and Bluesky?

Yes

He is not worse. The issue is the combination of the two of them, trump and Gaetz. Gaetz will do whatever trump orders him to do. Order sham investigations and prosecutions. Kill legitimate investigations and prosecutions. Stephen Miller, Russ Vought(chief project 2025 author) Bannon and others who know how to lead trump down the garden path. Will all act to play upon trump's darkest instincts. Imagine " Human activities have resulted in wholesale destruction of the environment. Water pollution is so severe that "don't drink" notices are frequently issued. Air pollution has reached the point that people in urban areas cannot go outside without wearing air masks.Coastal waters are mostly covered by a stinking, oily film made up of sewage, detergents, industrial effluent, and cellulose microfibers.The right-wing government is indifferent to those problems. The President, known as Prexy, can only offer snappy quotes in response to various disasters. When poisonings and famine become rampant, the government scapegoats Honduran communist rebels and puts the country under martial law. It resorts to violence and oppression to silence its critics. References are made to attempts to rein in the environmental destruction, but they are depicted as having made no difference to the state of the environment. Even so, one Republican Senator claims that the regulations are destroying American business. fewer and fewer people graduate with science, engineering, or business management degrees, as agriculture and food-related degrees are most in demand and most likely to lead to emigration from the US. The number of poor people is growing while wealthy people enclose themselves in walled communities guarded by armed mercenaries." The above is from a dystopian novel entitled "The Sheep Look Up" by John Brunner

Oh! ok

I did say somewhat and i conced trump will start appointing more lackeys to the bench on day two. The USSC with trump's "justices" has rejected some of trump's legal arguments But I still have hope that the US can avoid whats above.

Oh come-on guys. I'll admit republicans are gerrymandering as much as possible and using local election officials to mess with election laws in local jurisdictions. I'll admit that the US is sliding to banana land. But the courts are still somewhat a backstop. The press is largely free. trump only won the vote by a small margin. "Trump’s popular-vote advantage has declined steadily since election night. As of Monday afternoon, Trump was at 49.94 percent, while Harris was at 48.26, according to the authoritative Cook Political Report’s tracking of results from official sources in states across the country. " You-all are starting to sound like Joe when he gets on a downer about politics and the US situation.

I'd agree it will be close to that. trump will fire up his "never back down" base and do whatever comes to his mind. Anything goes because he only has two years. trump knows he won't get every vote of republicans for his nuttiest ideas. So he will do everything to skirt possible losing votes in the house and senate.

I'm sure that there is a section in trump's books that proposes that exactly. IMO trump will use recess appointments and push everything he can from day one. Look at all those who he has surrounded himself with. Only a GOP led impeachment will stop him and I have doubts that will happen before midterms. His dictatorship pedal will be on the floorboards of the trumpmobile from day one.

You do have Brent, rushmc, etc.

A cash settlement with a non disclosure clause. Spells innocent for republicans.

Probably because the margins in the house and senate were small and not every republican is MAGA. Now trump has learned a bit and will likely rely upon recess appointments IMO.

Back to attacks on women. I know the new US attitude towards women is changing with its new government. Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for defense secretary, sex assault allegation and "President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth, paid a woman who had accused him of sexual assault as part of a settlement agreement with a confidentiality clause" trump convicted of sexual assault, Gaetz likes minors when women are concerned. The women working or visiting the WH should be able to purchase these at the main entrance:

Given the new MAGA laissez faire America, for a old old horse. The right thing to do is let nature take its course. Coyotes, crows and eagles have to eat too.

trump has it all figured out now. He wants to fire the FED and replace him with a MAGA lackey. One who will institute negative interest rates say .5%. He doesn't understand QE otherwise he would likely order $5-10 trillion of it. Party on.

"Lawfare" 'the hunted are about to become the hunters' This video on Youtube says everything you need to know about the upcoming trump government. Pussy grabbing becomes lawful. Sexual assault is no longer prosecuted. trump starts to "protect women". trump, Steve Bannon, Matt Gaetz, etc. delivering vengeance as promised.

No, Kristi Noem ordered all dogs to be killed when she was sworn in as Homeland Security secretary. She wanted to curry favour with trump by showing that she could be as vengeful as him.

Coming January 21, 2025 Yet we wonder why America is up for sale. First in line MBS in the WH with cash in hand looking for nuclear technology, weapons and secrets. Putin second in line looking for the Donbas, Crimea and some other parcels of land. Netanyahu third, wanting to annex the entirety of the West Bank and offering up some prime golfing locations. Payments in crypto thanks: In a 13-page paper, Donald Trump’s crypto project, World Liberty Financial, provided a high-level overview of how coins can get allocated. The document indicated that an entity named DT Marks DEFI LLC, which is connected to the former president, is set to receive 75% of the net protocol revenues. The remaining 25% of net protocol revenue is set to go to Axiom Management Group, or AMG, a Puerto Rico LLC wholly owned by project co-founders Chase Herro and Zachary Folkman. News flash: Immigrants from around the world are now avoiding coming to America. Not because of mass deportations. But because America is now more corrupt than the country they are trying to get out of.

Is often attributed to Vladimir Lenin. An editorial in the NYT summarized the appointment of Matt Gaetz to be attorney general. trump didn't impress upon Americans or his MAGA base his true lack of morals and lack of character. It seems as if in desperation and a general lacking of common sense Americans want to message elites that many are hurting financially. So they voted for a second trump term. Well Gaetz will certainly tear the house down. He will certainly bring clarity to what MAGA really is all about and what trump is all about. "While Trump’s choice of Gaetz to lead the Justice Department is a clear sign that his second administration will be catastrophically chaotic, vengeful and corrupt, that should never have been in doubt. Trump made no secret during his campaign of his desire to persecute his political enemies. Anyone he chose as attorney general would share his interest in turning the justice system into the enforcement arm of the MAGA movement. The selection of Gaetz just rips the mask off. With it, Trump is trolling not just his defeated opponents but many of his craven establishment supporters. It’s like Caligula trying to make his horse a consul."

trump's sponsor getting ready for more appointments.

Perhaps with another 4 degrees in global warming we can put the hurricane seasons to rest. Because there would be hurricanes all year long.

A subsidy to do an end run around pharma's hold on the republican party. Certainly not a lie. A lie is running for election to represent the electorate then taking big Pharma's cash.
