Taking Out The Trash - The Trump Nightmare Has Ended

[Pamela]

Never has the signing of executive orders been so soothing, so reassuring.

For four years I despaired of ever seeing anything like it again.

This must be what it’s like to wake up in heaven and find all your friends there.

Now for justice.

PS Lloyd Austin will clean the white supremacists out of our military.

PPS Now if only Texas can be rid of the most craven, despicable elected officials in the country.

If he does this and is at all successful, that should split the republican party for good.

I can't keep up with all the executive orders. Biden is surprising me with doing so much, so fast. That's a good thing.

Did he do anything about the kids in cages at the border yet? I mean, I know it's only been a few days, but it's hard to keep up with everything. I'm sure some important actions he's taking are getting buried this news cycle.

Yes, think that was first day, an order to reunite families.

And it feels like he's trying to rush to get us where we were in government asap, and then it will be a lot easier to work on all the problems he's determined to fix going forward. I'm glad he's just doing stuff, instead of making a big deal about it, too.

On the other hand, it could make Trump very relevant again for the next years too.
I'd rather like to see the MAGA cult slowly fall apart into pieces.

I they group around a new Trump party, that could mean a lot more trouble ahead.
Donald doesn't give shit about democratic principals. He only cares about the Donald.
He will stick to his stolen election mantra and all the MAGATS will unite around him.
And as I see it, there are too many MAGATS, to make them a small niche group.

The troubles ain't over.

Why not call themselves the Nazi Party? This shit show needs to be stamped out of existence. Conviction would go a long way, but I have no faith in Senate Republicans to do the right thing.

For the good of the country, Trump should form Trump MAGA, Inc. (TMI... Or something, anything) and get his huge tarpit of nutcase supporters out of the GOP. It would produce two numerically weak parties on the right and make clearer sailing for the Democratic Party.

That's because he had an experienced transition team, who are now becoming cabinet offices and WH staff. They prepared those executive orders ahead of time. Trump totally whuffed his incoming transition. As a result half the appointed positions were still vacant the following summer.

For now.

Trump is often "talked out of" bad ideas (or at least, bad for the enablers around him), only to pop up again and do exactly what they didn't want him to do.

Trump used that same tactic for evil purposes -- overwhelming the opposition with slews of executive orders, transgressions, corrupt actions, at such a pace that the media couldn't break each one as a story.

I'd love to see Biden do the same kind of blitz, steam-rolling over the GOP and the media with so much progressie activity that they can't mount a reaction, much less an effective defense.

For now.

Trump is often "talked out of" bad ideas (or at least, bad for the enablers around him), only to pop up again and do exactly what they didn't want him to do.

Like, for example, inciting a riot of his followers to stage an assault on our Congress doing its (totally ceremonial) Constitutional duty with a plan to execute Congressional Democrats (He threw Pence under the bus to add deniability - Do you think I'd want my own VP hanged? BTW, the answer is "Yes!") and provide a pretext for martial law. Never mind it would not have worked and Biden would still be president. Like most malignant narcissists, 45 still believes he can talk his way into or out of any situation to his own personal benefit.

That's why he did the taped interviews with Bernstein for the second book; despite staff telling him it was a huge mistake to talk to Bernstein (I highly doubt they knew that Bernstein was being allowed to tape those conversations.) DJT thought the reason that Bernstein did such a number on him in his first book was that he didn't have access to 45 directly to "explain" everything and demonstrate his brilliance. We can see the result. Trump knew how deadly this was - way worse than the flu - a year ago. As always, he was looking out for himself first.

I can see Trump starting a new party just for the rallies and the media exposure. Plus a better opportunity to rake off money.

I believe that was the plan before the MAGA crowd, liberally sprinkled with Proud Boys and "militia" types, succeeded beyond DJT's dreams. He was just looking for a way to continue the grift (over $200 million taken in - pun used intentionally- since the election) and to continue the rallies, which are his oxygen. Unfortunately for Don the Con, the reflexive recoil and horror of most of the country has and is driving away corporate donors and brands in droves, while turning his own brand to pariah status, while silencing him on his favorite platform. Twitter likely hurt him the most. Deutsche Bank has finally decided they've had enough and where is 45 going to get a billion-dollar loan with his properties in free-fall?
