United States Trump 2nd Term - Planning and Beyond

My advice to Trump for his term is to focus on his base and overall legacy rather than fixing absolutely everything, the man has only four years and if he decides to use the situation, he is in to be a maverick and completely screw the establishment status quo up in Washington like a man with nothing else to lose he needs to have a method to his madness.

I would suggest he ultimately remember that as a populist President elected by the people himself regardless of party leadership his legacy and all his successors' legacies will hinge on pleasing them and as such focusing foremost on coupling some of his probable more controversial actions in gutting government departments need to follow or better preceded by actions that will make him popular across the board, I would recommend infrastructure and his overtime tax break to be the first reforms he should implement.
 
Some interesting thoughts on what might happen with the Supreme Court under Trump:
Article:
After a flurry of DOJ filings in January, the next shoe to drop will be a potential vacancy on the high court. The morning after the election, Ed Whelan wrote "I expect Alito to announce his retirement in the spring of 2025." This statement was made quite categorically. I think Ed knows something here. I told a reporter today that I would not blame Justice Alito for stepping down. He could spend time at his home on the Jersey Shore without the media trying to destroy him. Plus, his judicial legacy is set with the Dobbs decision. Indeed, the arc from his Third Circuit decision in Casey to Dobbs is a remarkable journey. If Justice Alito does decide to step down, that will immediately put forward a contest among the various Trump circuit nominees. No, I will not engage that debate here. Another time.

Ed, however, is not so sure about Justice Thomas. He writes "I hear some folks say that Thomas won't retire." I've heard much the same. One friend told me that the only way Justice Thomas leaves the Court is in a pine box. I can fully understand that point. And in candor, is there really anyone better on the lower courts than CT? Even someone thirty years younger? I'm not so sure.

Perhaps there is one carrot that could entice Justice Thomas to step down: the opportunity to serve as Attorney General. Imagine that for a moment. Clarence Thomas could be the most transformative Attorney General since Ed Meese. He could recommit the Department of Justices to the original meaning of the Constitution, in every facet of its operations. There are many federal statutes whose constitutionality would no longer be defended. Entire volumes of OLC opinions can be reviewed. Agency memoranda can be tossed in the incinerator. Statements of interest would be filed in all the right cases. And I have no doubt that the Thomas clerk network would be willing to staff each and every post in the Justice Department. It would be a veritable constitutional army. In four years, so much good could be done. Of course, I can't imagine that Justice Thomas would ever want to go through another confirmation hearing. Still, all things considered, it is worth considering. And if Thomas is not confirmed, he can go back to the job he loves.

Of course, there is also the center seat. Ed Whelan says there is a "strong possibility that Chief Justice Roberts" may step down over the "next ten or twenty years." It could happen sooner. Feel free to discount any such speculation, especially in light of my repeated calls for Roberts to resign. This position has to be exhausting. Roberts has had to shoulder more crises than any Chief Justice since the New Deal. Now is not the place to assess Robert's performance, other than to say it is a thankless task. Moreover, Roberts came to the Court with the goal of building up the institution, and having fewer 5-4 decisions. To the extent Roberts has been successful at that goal, it is by using his own vote to join the left. Roberts has had limited success in persuading others. And I doubt that task will get any easier with one or two more Trump appointees. No one would begrudge Roberts for moving on.
 
I don't like his religious views, but it's impossible not to respect Clarence Thomas's commitment to his ideals. That man is as implacable as an iron wall.

I agree that the only way he's leaving his post is as a corpse. I just hope that doesn't happen under a Democrat President. His legacy must not be being the male version of Ginsberg.
 
Friendly Reminder - Rule 3: Obey staff - Violation of No Tolerance for calls for violence
While it would never happen, public executions for the top layer of leaders responsible for the disaster of an Afghanistan withdrawal. When you have all the resources and time in the world to do it even a little better, there was no excuse for that shit show. I am tired of the "just following orders" excuse for sheer incompetence and failure. If people are gonna perform as if their lives are on the line(in terms of blindly following orders), maybe they should be. WHY WAS ALL THE EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND, INTACT!?? Just to spite Trump?! you fucking retards. Funding even more terrorism for the next decade.

It was all for nothing in the end and a terrible ending for the 9/11 saga.

IIRC, because it would cost too much to take it along. And at any rate, the Taliban has neither the interest nor the means to carry out terrorist activities against the US anymore.

What actually worries me is the idea of China gaining access to Afghan minerals.
 
Pompeo stayed with Trump even through the Jan 6th and everything.
He was also a huge part of trumps diplomacy in ME

Flynn would be better in DNI or Defense, thiugh DNI would be better just due to the fact it's what he knows.

As for the military stuff, Milley is already out of it all, and Trump is most likely going to fire the entire Joint chiefs, and thier enlisted leaders.
He may gut a large majority of the generals.

Thw only issue is how to understand the generals that are actively trying to train us to win wars vs those thay focus on political stuff
Pompeo also plotted to assassinate Assange, begged Trump not to release the JFK files, and helped broker the sale of US Steel to the Japanese (a deal which Trump has been very open about opposing and which he wants to block if he still can). He was going to run against Trump in the Republican primaries as well, but backed out in early 2023 because he still had enough brains to see where the people who did commit to that (like DeSantis) were going to end up. Man's a neocon snake whose fundamental principles (as with all neocons) are ultimately fundamentally opposed to Trump's and should at best be made US Ambassador to the UN, a post of some prestige which however also comes with no power to start wars or get up to any CIA dirty tricks.

There's no justice in Milley being allowed to chill at Princeton with his ill-gotten pension and connections. I know the US military can recall retired personnel to face the music in courts-martial, it's been done for sex offenders and such before and a retired admiral (Richard Brown) was censured over the USS Bonhomme Richard fire. Milley's constant undermining of Trump on everything from paralyzing his response to the 2020 BLM riots (in hindsight part of a color revolution at home against Trump) to purposely botching the Syrian withdrawal and the now-infamous chitchatting with China about nukes behind his back, then the rout from A-stan under Biden - this stuff requires, demands a severe correction.

Bastard's got to be dragged screaming in front of a firing squad, a noose or at best into solitary confinement in the deepest, darkest cell at Leavenworth for the rest of his days or else other serpents in uniform will always feel confident that they can conspire against the Commander-in-Chief and get away with it, motherfuckers are already conspiring to use any excuse they can find to avoid obeying Trump's orders and resist attempts to fire them within 72 hours of the election. (Can you even call this conspiring?? We know about it because the conspirators thought themselves so untouchable, they were bragging about their plans to CNN...) Examples must be made and heads must roll to make it clear that 'defense officials' conspiring like this are unacceptable and that America is a country in which treason can still get you killed or jailed for life (preferably executed if at all possible, it would suck to have to pay taxes with the knowledge that your dollars are going to keep scum like Milley alive).

The good news re: a great cleansing of the military is that a lot of the worst agents have clearly thought themselves to be invincible and been very, very open about their degenerate ways and allegiance to globohomo above the Stars & Stripes. Joint Chiefs Chairman Brown for example has been an extremely outspoken advocate of DEI and racially discriminatory hiring/promoting practices, while the alphabet perverts are apparently allergic to the notion of not attention-whoring in news articles or on social media at every opportunity, like this fucking clown here. These people's names and faces are one search away and finding reasons to get rid of them can't be that hard, they're practically daring Trump to give them the ax with every article they spam and every conspiracy they decide to not only partake in but also brag to the media about.

The more insidious threat are the people who aren't so overt about their insanity & true allegiances but who will throw hissy fits and pull out the knives once Trump does something they don't like, the John Kelly types. I don't doubt the good guys will have to dig deep and get up to some intrigues of their own to root those sorts out of the military. But frankly it's got to be done, the deep state play is clear from those idiots who talked to CNN just now - get the media to spin up hysteria about how things like deporting illegals or invoking the Insurrection Act to suppress 2020-style rioting are unconstitutional and evil, so as to manufacture the justification for a military coup from the left - and it has to be stopped at all costs. Defeating China or going on another Mideastern adventure must necessarily take a back seat to excising leftist influence in the ranks and completely destroying the Clinton->Obama->Biden-era politicization of the military, you can ask Nicholas II and the Russian Provisional Government about what happens if one's foolish enough to try waging war abroad when his home front is still in such disarray that he's liable to get coup'd if he looks away from the absolute state of his military even once.

Iirc most stuff like helicopters had been attempted to be sabatoged.
Add in how maintenance heavy things are.
All they had to do was fucking take out a few parts and boom deadlines

So Pompeo wanting to kill Asaange? The guy who withheld releasing Russian secrets but gladly US ones?
 
According to the Financial Times Trump is considering Doug Bergum not specifically for Secretary of Energy, but as an "Energy Tsar" hoping he'll help deregulate the energy sector and support increasing domestic production of energy. Supposedly the "Energy Tsar" will replace the Democratic created "Climate Change Tsar." 😛


It actually wasn't made clear if the "Energy Tsar" is similar to the Secretary of Energy and even the Financial Times suffers from incomprehensible reporting, using the terms almost interchangeably in the article.

Anyways Doug Bergum is the North Dakota Oil Billionaire who has been serving as the Governor of North Dakota since 2016.

Also being considered for Secretary of Energy/Energy Tsar is Dan Broulilette who was Trumps Energy Secretary from 2019-2021, replacing former Texas Governor Rick Perry along with Paul Dabbar, a tech executive who served as the Under Secretary of Energy for SCIENCE in Trump's first term.

The article also mentions bringing back the much beloved Andrew Wheeler as Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Then it mentions multiple contenders for Secretary of Interior including former Trump Secterary of Interior David Bernhardt as well as Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis (who won the primary after Liz Cheney shockingly declined to run) and Katherine MacGregor, former deputy Secretary of the Interior
 
On the gun front I'd like to see the ATF abolished but short of that I'd like to see them extremely hamstrung and harshly punished for bullshit when they basically make up laws that don't exist and also no knock warrants and raiding peoples homes in the middle of the night needs to be made illegal.

So Pompeo wanting to kill Asaange? The guy who withheld releasing Russian secrets but gladly US ones?
Yeah, the guy who was one among many victimized in the Russiagate hoax, the guy who the deep state first tried to extradite by way of a #MeToo attack in Sweden, the guy who had to live in the Ecuadorian embassy even after Bradley Manning was let out of prison and allowed to become a trans icon. That Assange. I give no credence, no benefit of the doubt to the glowies who have been after his head for ages and the Democrats who used to be his biggest fans but turned against him once he started shitting on neolibs in addition to neocons.

Anyway, it has not escaped my notice that you don't seem to have an answer to the other points against Pompeo either. So even if I were to grant that Assange is in fact a Slav-built android being personally controlled by Putin to spy on & make only the USA look bad, there's still too many reasons weighing against his return to State. The neocons should already have died with Bush & McCain, they have finally taken real fatal injuries with the Cheneys and all those other chickenhawks who endorsed Harris, under no circumstance should they be allowed to recover & slither back into the halls of power through a new backdoor opened by Pompeo.

In other news Trump has basically said he wants to do to the Mexican cartels what he did to ISIS, which is a worthy goal but one that makes a deep cleaning of the military & government even more urgent. I don't doubt for a second that the deep state is in deep with the cartels, with extensive ties to said cartels' criminal operations from drugs to arms smuggling (we know for sure that Obama & Eric Holder straight up gave them free weapons) and human trafficking - nothing else would explain why they've been allowed to fester and grow to such monstrous power while America bled and burned off its own strength on the other side of the planet for 30 years. Gavin Newsom has willfully allowed the cartels to turn California into their playground & more or less operate openly, and I would be very surprised if it turns out he's the only guy in the American political elite to have done so where he's had the authority. And if the government and law enforcement have been compromised so, I can't imagine the cartels haven't made at least a cursory effort to infiltrate the American military as well.

Before chasing them into Mexico, I expect Trump & the American authorities will first need to destroy their forces already present in America itself as well as their allies & sympathizers, who will surely mobilize under a thousand different masks (from Antifa types who will be triggered into action to protest and riot against arrests/deportations as well as the braindead shitlibs who will give them cover, presumably after they've had enough time to forget about Trump's surge in the Latino vote and their own seething at that development, to La Raza/Aztlan Chicano supremacists & neo-Aztecs that want Mexico to take back everything they lost in 1848) to try to shield the cartels from consequences and give them every advantage possible. The modern liberal with xir's overwhelming outgroup preference is a relatively new development, but as for the latter, well it wouldn't be the first time Mexican criminal elements with government ties hoped to kick off a race war in America to try to relieve the pressure they were under.

Whatever happened to Nikki Haley anyways? She ran for a long time on Dem donor money against Trump and then just fucked off into the sunset.
Some say that on cold nights in South Carolina, if you walk the beach and listen to the waves crashing on the shoreline, you can hear an eerie voice on the wind calling for greater US presence in the Middle East. :p

More seriously, she joined/got-inducted-into a conservative think-tank (Hudson Institute) and, more recently, a PR/marketing firm named Edelman as the vice-chair of international public relations. So...traditional politician retirement scheme and/or 'grifting', depending on how harsh you want to be on her.
