Unlike the Xiden admin, Trump didn’t have the support of the gop for his transition. The Dominioncrats have an army of lawyers lined up to feed the administration for Xiden.
They've created a legal system entirely revolving the "letter of the law" and completely forgotten about "the intent of the law".
In fact, distorting the laws to achieve a desired result, no matter how unethical, seems to be an end unto itself and an achievement to brag about at cocktail parties.
As a former practicing attorney... the entire system is run by self-serving kleptocrats and communists who only care about building their own fiefdoms. The state bar associations that state governments have ceded oversight of the profession to are all run by far left lunatics. There are stories out of my state alone that will make your blood boil. Corrupt government officials and big firm lawyers are protected while they go after independent lawyers and small firms for ANYTHING some trash Karen complains about through an online form they can submit 24/7. Then they publish all the “action” they have annually to show how they are protecting the public... except their job is supposed to be to protect the profession AND the public and they do absolutely zilch to support attorneys who pay $700+ per year for membership that is mandatory.
Trump couldn't even get his executive appointments confirmed in a timely manner -- and the GOP had control of the Senate all 4 years.
It's pretty obvious that (1) 40 some odd GOP House members retired in 2018 instead of ran for re-election to help Dems get control of the House to run the 1st shampeachment; (2) if Mueller had found ANYTHING AT ALL, the Senate would have convicted Trump on that shampeachment; (3) Mitch did the "best he could under the circumstance" -- i.e, slow down and thwart Trump's executive branch appointments by spending all his time on the things he (Mitch) cared about -- judicial appointments.
Look how the GOP gave Trump the finger on that Consolidated Spending bill in December.
The GOP is just as complicit in stealing the election as the Dems are -- they wanted Trump gone just as much as the Dems do. They just want to pretend to oppose the Dems, not actually deliver results for us.
Remember the vote to keep Liz Cheney by secret ballot -- 145 House GOP voted for her. If this 2nd shampeachment was by secret ballot, all of them would have voted to impeach too.
Yep, you hit the nail on the head. GOP wanted him out, put up with him as an illusion for that a two party system exists to keep them in power and rich.
Bingo. They all hated Trump. They want to go back to the old way of things being controlled opposition, having cocktail parties with Democrats, doing backroom deals together, and being the minority party where they can shill for donations from concerned conservatives saying "Donate $100 Now To Stop The Democrat Agenda"
They are quite happy to be the minority party again with no power. Notice how many bills they are introducing knowing that they won't pass or even get voted on? Funny how they never pushed these bills when they had full power with Trump.
Washington DC is hopeless and unsalvageable. Everyone there is a Democrat. Every day we are not talking about balkanization and starting a new country with a capital in the heartland is a waste.
I dont think his voter approval with Republicans was as high, at the start of his term, either. By his second campaign there was more than a 90% chance a rank and file republican, he may have hired, would be a genuine supporter.
I knew what you were talking about. His odds of good hires outside the party structures was also lower at the start of his term. By the end of it any everyday republican hire would probably be a safe hire.
Because he couldn't. Where do you find the replacements? High-ranked judges, generals and high administration profiles are almost all globalists to an extent. You don't get there only by talent and hard work, but also by conformity with what the system expects from you.
Well how many replacements like Barr and the Durham did we have that we thought were legit and ended up being swamp? All the replacements are evil scum. We got lucky with Trump who exposed them all.
It's funny how people here think you can waltz into a place that's been evil for over 70 years like it's some cake walk.
not only that....he didn't get all of his personnel picks confirmed, his entire term. the uniparty handicapped him every way they could...and look what he still managed to accomplish. "but biden wiped it all out with eo's." but prez maga showed us what was possible.
I tend to agree with you, I think we would be in his second term if he kept his entire first cabinet intact. The swamp was ferocious and demanded people like Bannon be let go, and the only reason was because they made Trump stronger because they would support him with all his initiatives. Through the election fiasco Trump was relying on advice from his legal team, and Meadows and others that just wanted Trump to give up. It is a complete tragedy.
At this point, I think we would have had better results firing every last one of them, and replacing them with people randomly selected from an old phonebook. No one who has been actively working toward these positions is trustworthy.
This isnt how the left see it though. Through thier eyes, Trump was going to fire everyone of them, and it was only thier brilliant media strategy of putting significant political pressure on Republicans to prevent them from doing it that kept Trump in check.
Even worse - Trump brought in fresh hires with Bush/Obama experience who had moved on to the private sector.
Trump was Deep State's number one employer. He was LITERALLY bringing in people who immediately started plotting to make sure he wouldn't serve two terms.
Name one. If it is a Senate appointed position I have news for you. The Senate needs to agree to that nomination. Go and cry at the GOP for being cucks instead.
What a fucking stupid excuse. Wray is a good example. Ivy League, worked for Bush and Chris Christie.
Don't tell me that only Deep Staters had a chance of Senate confirmation - until you can show me that Trump appointed MAGA guys first and they got rejected by the Senate.
Besides, Trump often allowed Obama guys to sit in their office for four years and didn't even TRY to replace them - and many of those required no Senate confirmation.
Yes. The only ones that were ever allowed to come up for consideration were Deep Staters. McConnel wouldn't bring one up for confirmation otherwise. Look at Chad Wolf, acting director for the entire time. Never confirmed, because Trump refused to put a Deep Stater in there again after the first one.
Which is why I wonder how you can't even seem to recall how even Republicans instantly went all Russia, Russia, Russia on Trump for firing Comey. He TRIED to get rid of Obama insurgents and was directly told, if you do so we will charge you with obstruction.
There is always an excuse. I say Trump should have just said fuck it and dragged his balls across the GOP, but hey that's the first term sickness. Obama wasn't half as bad as he was in his second term, because it didn't matter anymore at that point.
Rex Tillerson. Jim Mattis. He got the law changed so Mattis could be SECDEF. Those are two names and public ones. There were hundreds of swamp creatures nominated by Trump that were not senate confirmed.
You know what Biden would do if the senate wasn't playing ball? Recess appointments. How many recess appointments did Trump do?
Yup trump hired John Bolton which was a huge fucking mistake. Picked up where obama left off with drone strikes. The first two years of trumps presidency were hella rocky in the decisions he made.
We were all riding Mattis dick till it turned out he was way more interested in that defense contractor money than not getting innocent men killed.
Rex Tillerson had deep GOP connections and I think there was some agreement between him and Trump but that all fell through when it turned out he thought he was running the show.
I never said Trump didn't make mistakes. I said you were complaining about a man not winning a round 1 KO with both hands tied behind his back.
He would have been replacing entrenched swamp with varying degrees of swamp who would have known that their jobs weren't safe. It would surely have been an improvement.
Bear in mind also that Obama is known to have been shadow-presidenting behind the scenes. You want his loyalists out pronto.
I don't really blame Trump since a lot of this is hindsight but it's clear mistakes were made. Though there's no guarantee that not making them would have resulted in a better outcome.
Biggest mistake Trump made was not firing EVERY Bush/Obama era holdover on day one.
Unlike the Xiden admin, Trump didn’t have the support of the gop for his transition. The Dominioncrats have an army of lawyers lined up to feed the administration for Xiden.
The Dominioncrats have an army of Neo-Marxist, hyper-communist lawyers...
FTFY
Why not just say Lawyers? It says it all in just one word.
Lawfare sucks.
They've created a legal system entirely revolving the "letter of the law" and completely forgotten about "the intent of the law".
In fact, distorting the laws to achieve a desired result, no matter how unethical, seems to be an end unto itself and an achievement to brag about at cocktail parties.
Lawfare indeed.

Here is on example: http://www.azaacpr.org/
They aren't "neo" anything. They're just fucking communists. No deeper discernment is merited.
They hope to keep their money and possessions and join the "Inner Party".
They have a bunch of fascists too. The pedocrats is the party of absolute hatred and evil.
and judges, don't forget the judges
THIS.

1000 lawyers as part of our most extensive voter fraud organization in US history.
Washington DC is hopeless and unsalvageable. Everyone there is a Democrat. Every day we are not talking about balkanization and starting a new country with a capital in the heartland is a waste.
I dont think his voter approval with Republicans was as high, at the start of his term, either. By his second campaign there was more than a 90% chance a rank and file republican, he may have hired, would be a genuine supporter.
We all figured out he was on our side...
I'm not talking about Republican voters, I'm talking about the GOP - the establishment Republican politicians and insiders.
I knew what you were talking about. His odds of good hires outside the party structures was also lower at the start of his term. By the end of it any everyday republican hire would probably be a safe hire.
Because he couldn't. Where do you find the replacements? High-ranked judges, generals and high administration profiles are almost all globalists to an extent. You don't get there only by talent and hard work, but also by conformity with what the system expects from you.
There ya go. We have to keep seditionists in thier job because we cant find a replacement.
Protip: an honest novice is better than a treasonist expert.
I'll do it, who wants to vote me in?
When did we get to vote for attorney's at the DOJ? Oh, that's right, they're un-elected bureaucrats, which our Founders warned us against.
At this point if a candidate shows me their .win username logged in and I can see their post history here - I'll put a sign in my yard for them.
this is all the attitude we need, right here.
An empty seat is better than most of the garbage up there. At least an empty seat won't trample all over your civil rights.
Well how many replacements like Barr and the Durham did we have that we thought were legit and ended up being swamp? All the replacements are evil scum. We got lucky with Trump who exposed them all.
It's funny how people here think you can waltz into a place that's been evil for over 70 years like it's some cake walk.
How do y'all still not understand that that's not how it works though?
Most of the big positions would have to be confirmed by the most corrupt senate in our country's history
And any other hire he would have made could then be reviewed by a group of corrupt officials above them, just like is happening now...
So many of y'all still don't seem to understand just how tied his hands were...
Nixon, in a moment of candor, told a Vietnam War veteran protesting the war “”I couldn’t stop it kid even if I wanted to.”
Trump had full authority to fire everyone.
not only that....he didn't get all of his personnel picks confirmed, his entire term. the uniparty handicapped him every way they could...and look what he still managed to accomplish. "but biden wiped it all out with eo's." but prez maga showed us what was possible.
Remember when Bannon made the hiring portal on the white house website? How many patriots were hired out of that?
I understand how tied his hands were. These were ties he let be placed there.
I tend to agree with you, I think we would be in his second term if he kept his entire first cabinet intact. The swamp was ferocious and demanded people like Bannon be let go, and the only reason was because they made Trump stronger because they would support him with all his initiatives.

Updoot for old phonebook
There are thousands of delegates to GOP state conventions across the country. Use that listing instead of a literal phone book.
The Phonebook party could get some traction.
Bullshit. He could have fired them all
If he'd done everything the way he did in his last 2-3 months he'd be sitting in the White House now
Hire 2-3 supporters and then do absolutely nothing at all?
I agree. I was waiting for this on day 1. It never happened. It was a big mistake.
Coulda hired us. Check the voter rolls and go down the list.
Swamp wasn't going to drain itself.
This isnt how the left see it though. Through thier eyes, Trump was going to fire everyone of them, and it was only thier brilliant media strategy of putting significant political pressure on Republicans to prevent them from doing it that kept Trump in check.
The shadowy cabal to help "fortify democracy"...?
Even worse - Trump brought in fresh hires with Bush/Obama experience who had moved on to the private sector.

Give it up - there is no excuse.
Yes. The only ones that were ever allowed to come up for consideration were Deep Staters. McConnel wouldn't bring one up for confirmation otherwise.

You know what Biden would do if the senate wasn't playing ball? Recess appointments. How many recess appointments did Trump do?
They never had a recess. They always left the sessions open so he couldn’t do recess appointments.
Did you even pay attention at all the last four years?
Yup trump hired John Bolton which was a huge fucking mistake. Picked up where obama left off with drone strikes. The first two years of trumps presidency were hella rocky in the decisions he made.
We were all riding Mattis dick till it turned out he was way more interested in that defense contractor money than not getting innocent men killed.

I always viewed 45’s failure to blanket fire the old guard as an attempt to bring in cooperation between the parties.
Hindsight says it was wrong. No doubt. I’m afraid we now know how deep the swamp and the corruption actually is.
