We Got Who They Voted For: The president chose not to take the high road

For what is supposed to be an esteemed, tradition-rich ceremony, full of grandeur and history, our presidential inauguration in the Capitol Rotunda today ended with what has become a Trump tradition: a long, hate-filled rant that would best be described in polite company as one giant load of hooey.

Most incoming presidents use their inauguration speech to optimistically look toward a bright future. Most presidents are not Donald Trump. His inaugural address was so dark, no one would have been surprised if it had started raining inside the rotunda.

Trump made America sound like a struggling nation rather than a country with one of the most robust and envied economies in the world. That is his schtick. It’s like Munchausen by Proxy, politics edition. He convinces people things are dire so that he, and only he, can swoop in to be their savior. To bring this point home, he said, “I was saved by god to make America great again.”

In the exact spot where rioters tried to carry out a coup four years ago, Trump unironically predicted that his proudest legacy will be as “peacemaker and unifier.” With all the grace of a thundering rhino, he laid blame for our country’s ills at the feet of Democrats sitting close by, accusing the Biden administration of a “horrible betrayal.” Way to be a peacemaker and unifier. We’ve all been here before. This bully has no filter, by design.

With oozing bravado, he said he would get back control of the Panama Canal, end the Green New Deal (including revoking electric car mandates — happy about that one, Elon?), and rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America (cue the shot of Hillary Clinton seated behind Trump guffawing). But what about all those promises made during the campaign? I’ve been taking notes, and it will be up to us, all of us, together with a robust and vigorous press, to hold the new president accountable.

Many Americans are in no mood for his nonsense, which, unsurprisingly, has already begun. Trump has started backtracking on some of his major pledges, promises he made in order to get elected. Many of which have never had a chance of becoming reality.

How many of these "accomplishments" will require litigation? How much will they cost the American taxpayer?
'
How many campaign promises has he failed to achieve in the timeframe promised?

Do you see the irony of him deporting criminals? Maybe they're just innocent victims of lawfare.

He's given some American hope and optimism for the future. Some are outright scared and others are nervously optimistic.

FTR - tucker, hannity, waters, etc. aren't good enough to sniff Rather's jock.

They literally have no clue how to run a country nor the consequences if their aspirations are met.

Donald Trump’s most extreme attack so far on America’s basic constitutional structure, as my colleague David Dayen explains, is his recent attempt to halt some portion of the federal loans and grants that Congress has legally obliged to be spent. An order from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), first reported by independent journalist Marisa Kabas, demanded a halt to all grants and loans throughout the government, supposedly pending some McCarthyite purge of Marxism, “transgenderism,” and climate policy.

This is illegal. As Article I of the Constitution states, “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives,” and what’s more, the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 specifically forbids what Trump is trying to do. He is attempting, like the English King Charles I before him, to seize the power of the purse for himself.

But there are also practical questions involved here. Depending on how one defines “grant” or “loan,” literally over a trillion dollars in annual spending could be caught up in Trump’s illegal order, which has now been put on hold temporarily by a federal judge. By far the biggest single grant program is Medicaid, the largest health insurance program in the nation, with 72 million enrollees. It is funded by individual states at varying levels, but also by some $607 billion in federal spending as of 2023.

In the initial order, it was not specified directly whether Medicaid was subject to the funding freeze, but as a grant program, it seemed to qualify. Sure enough, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) reported on Tuesday that all states had lost access to the federal Medicaid reimbursement portal. By later that day, a White House spokesperson asserted that this was only a temporary hiccup, and access would be restored shortly.

Merits of this order aside, it is astounding that the Trump goons did not bother to figure out beforehand whether or not they intended to defund the biggest insurance program in the country. As budget expert Bobby Kogan points out, OMB was internally demanding a halt to various programs, while externally claiming it wasn’t doing anything. It’s a telling indication of how they will attempt to run the government from here on out.


I suspect there are two factors at work here. First is a total lack of understanding as to the vast scale of the federal government. If Medicaid were to be illegally defunded, it would instantly cause multiple simultaneous crises. Most obviously, about 20 percent of Americans would be thrown off their insurance. Medical providers, particularly hospitals in rural and low-income urban regions, would lose a major source of funding, leading to mass bankruptcies. And the American economy writ large would suffer a massive austerity shock, with over 2 percent of GDP vanishing overnight. All the businesses that relied on the spending of Medicaid-funded doctors, nurses, and so on would go belly-up, and so on, quite possibly triggering a recession.

What is true of Medicaid is only somewhat less true of hundreds of other government programs also under assault from Trump. By protecting the purity of our food, water, and medicines; the safety of road and air travel; the integrity of our financial system; and in hundreds of other ways, the government enables modern society to function. It could be improved, of course, but simply ripping it out by the roots would cause untold disaster.

The intelligent Ivy league people have had their turn at running the government for a couple hundred years.

I will take the idiot with the baseball bat for the next 100. He wont get us 35 trillion in debt like they did.

The intelligent Ivy league people have had their turn at running the government for a couple hundred years.

Goodbye trump, vance, cruz, stefanik, hawley, deconkis, etc.

Oh, and btw, the last I checked Penn is an Ivy League school, does that mean you're anti-Trump because of his alma mater? Heck, Vance went to Yale. Two Ivy Leaguers on that ticket.

The Poison Ivy League is what they should call it

Why not the Ivy Cancer League? Look at some of the malignant tumors educated there:

• donald trump - University of Pennsylvania
• ron deconkis - Yale, Harvard Law School
• josh hawley - Yale Law School
• vivek ramaswamy - Harvard, Yale Law School
• elise stefanik - Harvard
• ted cruz - Princeton, Harvard Law School
• jd vance - Yale Law School

The trump administration making government more efficient by stumbling around like a drunken sailor in a Manilla whorehouse.

More proof that trump has prioritized loyalty over competence. Loyalty to trump is the MAQA yahoo version of what they criticize about DEI.

President Trump’s the Deep State BLOODBATH in the past 24 hours:

- All federal prosecutors handling January 6th cases fired, computers locked and marched out of their offices by security.

- David Sundberg, the FBI Assistant Director at the helm of the January 6th investigations, has been fired.

- 20 leaders of FBI field offices have been escorted out of FBI buildings around the country

- The 51 intelligence officers who spread misinformation about Hunter Biden's laptop and interfered in elections are now banned from entering federal properties.

- Federal employees are now required to return to the office, with non-compliance leading to termination.

- John Bolton and John Brennan have been permanently banned from government buildings.

- Jarold Harold Rogers has been indicted for compromising U.S. trade secrets to China

- Ban on all use of pronouns in government communications

- All 2 million Feds sent a resignation offer

This purge marks the beginning of the end for the corrupt tyrants in Washington.

11 days in and the swamp has been drained

During President Donald Trump's first term, the Office of Inspector General found that employees at GSA ignored legal requirements to implement facial recognition and then lied about it, claiming it was a matter of "racial equity." It also made "lived experience" a variable in hiring, meaning the agency became a haven of "trans" and "queer" people hiring each other for roles they had no experience in.

You may be wondering what "18F" is. It is a GSA-run tech office that "builds, buys, and shares" technology across all agencies. Of course, their role went well beyond that simple descriptor, with 18F dictating everything from the language used to how all federal meetings were conducted so as to promote "diversity and inclusion." That's how the country ended up with an "inclusion bot" hounding employees about using terms like "grandfathered" and "guys." Yes, you're taxpayer dollars were paying to maintain an Orwellian bot that told people have to speak.

That's all changing now, according to investigative reporter Luke Rosiak. With Stephen Ehikian, an ally of Elon Musk, being put in charge, those left at 18F are rushing to reverse course, including deleting the code for the "inclusion bot" and making wholesale changes to regulations and policies.

Remember that viral video from 2022 of Kamala Harris telling people at a meeting that her pronouns are "she and her" and that she's "wearing a blue suit?" That was the doing of 18F's policies.….

If he get credit for good things that happened after election day then he's equally responsible for bad things that happen as well.

Don't know how accurate the chart is, but if it's anywhere close, that is horrifying to see. I'm sure Bernie is absolutely objective in his statements/reactions. You fucking retard Bernie backers now see how the medical industry loves his socialist stance, but we all know it's a bullshit schtick, just like Houndy acting smart. It's all to get his donor money.
