Suggestions?

Invoke the insurrection act.

I don't care if "this won't happen or that won't happen". Make some fucking noise. But he isn't. He's gonna hand our country over to the communist takeover coming without so much as a peep it seems.

I genuinely wonder what type of consequences he and his family would suffer if he tried this route and it didn’t work.

I'm leaning towards the second and I'll explain: I think it's more just "over it" than being a pussy. I think he's given up. After the 6th, the whole "MUH OPTICS" thing and the fact that people were resigning because of that, his relationship with Pence, and also the fact that everyone is just blatantly telling him "no" at this point. He hasn't had any real power in two weeks (could argue longer). His appointees, other officials and military are just straight up telling the President of the US that they will not follow orders so... What is he to do? I suspect Pence has been shadow-governing at least since the 6th. He can invoke the IA, but what will that do if someone just tells him no? None of this should be taken as an excuse, I just feel that's what is really happening here.

for starters - having a sigint/humint apparatus established by MI back in '18 in preparation for electioneering

If no one enforces it, it isn't worth the paper it's written on.

then maybe not telling people who got shot for him/this nation to go home and be peaceful while he hands the nation over to the CCP

If no one enforces it, it isn't worth the breath he used to speak it.

President Trump is one man. Him decreeing something, and the message not reaching the people that agree with it, or can enforce it, does nothing.

Quit acting like Leftists, and demanding that government solve all your problems.

Fun fact - Trump could have kept firing people til he got the man for the job, you know..like Obama did?

Fun fact: Monday morning armchair quarterbacking makes you look really ignorant, even though it makes you feel smart.

I randomly picked two jobs under Trump:

Chief of Staff:

  • Obama - 5 in 8 years
  • Trump - 4 in 4 years

Sec of Defense

  • Obama - 3 in 8 years
  • Trump - 6 in 4 years

I can go on, if you'd like.

Anyone that's hired/fired people knows how much time you lose when you have to train a new employee. Trump did do more hiring/firing than most Presidents, and still struggled to find loyal/competent employees. Trump is one man. A highly successful, brave, courageous man, but simply a man. He can't perform the superhuman tasks you're asking of him. That isn't doomer, that's simply reality.

I have no doubt he's continuing to fight, and will continue until he takes his last breath. But to judge his willingness by his successes is asinine.

A good general doesn't send his people in to be massacred.

A good General doesn’t just send his men home either.

Agreed. He tells them to retreat, when he knows they can't win at the time.

General Robert E. Lee did just that. And so did General Patton. And many others. Cannon fodder is the term.

They had trained soldiers. Not grannies waving flags, which is what the board that deleted his post suggested he do
