Trumps team needs to figure out how to get a few wins by mid-summer

Find an off ramp with these wars or conflicts

(Iran/Ukraine/Cuba/Venezuala/Israel) that make it seem the missions were successful

I never expected the Save Act to make it thru. But get creative to somehow do something thru executive action or work a deal in with a spending bill. Do something, anything.

Good old
Fashioned bribery. I know this isn’t popular with the libertarians, but I would find some way to cut checks to middle class people, possibly from Tariff fees or DOGE savings

Get fuel and grocery prices fixed. Economy as always will be the main driver.

In general, find away to make things not seem so chaotic to comfort normie norms and spin class moms (no pics)

And also some how suppress or ramp down the deranged left for a bit, so they are less motivated

All that being said, we should expect and prepare for the Dems to take back the House at minimum. This is simply the way politics go. The Senate map is still favorable, but there is an outside chance we lose that too.

As I get older, I am much more interested in being coalition guy and not one of these over reactionary burn it all down nihilist types, that has become so common on the right. My personal politics are very far to the right of anyone in the Republican Party, but I still recognize the Republican Party as the only possible bulwark against the absolute demonic manifestation that is the Democrat Party.

A very small percentage of the United States gives a single sheet about Iran and whether or not the mullahs are in charge.

What a high percentage of people do care about however is why the frick hamburger meat is $7 a pound and still rising.

I am thoroughly disgusted that both sides appear OK with cheating in elections. We obviously can't vote our way out of basically being slaves to feed the government largess. If I were younger, I'd seriously be looking at how to off ramp myself from further participation in this farce.

Listening to everything Trump is saying these days makes me believe he thought everything was hunky dory, which gave him leeway to do what he thinks should have been done long ago.

At this point, they need to significantly drop gas prices and not just expose, but prosecute major fraud from the democrats. The republicans need to show the country just how dirty the democrats are and hold them accountable if they want any hope of winning midterms.
I think we are screwed.

I mean if voters are that retarded then it is what it is.




Here is a good write up on what is going on.


Trumps global endeavors upends the world of impotent elites



quote:

At the start of his second term, President Trump surveyed the slowly rotting swamp that was the post-Cold War landscape, and he did not like what he saw.

He has determined to scour it clean of dangerous attachments, conditions, and — as we now know — regimes the president considers to be a legacy of past American weakness.




Most of you want us to go back to what you've been complaining about the past 40 years.


quote:

America’s global priorities have been radically rebalanced. NATO allies have been told to pick up their burden if they wish to see the US stick around.

Meanwhile, Latin America, long treated like a poor relation, looms large in the administration’s thinking.



America first.

Unless a miracle happens the Dems are winning the Mid Terms. This board just needs to accept it and move on.

The party in power generally loses seats.



Funny thing is Bush gained seats post 9/11. But we live in a different time now where people love the Muslims.

As retarded as stating a war with Iran while just calling an oopsie on not planning on defending the single most strategic energy chokepoint on the planet.

Iran is a success. Only the MSM has worked like mad to make it not seem successful.
