Mark Paoletta is a lawyer working on Donald Trump's transition team.




Quote:
If these career DOJ employees won't implement President Trump's program in good faith, they should leave. Those employees who engage in so-called "resistance" against the duly-elected President's lawful agenda would be subverting American democracy.

Finally, those that take such actions would be subject to disciplinary measures, including termination.

Dems- Trump hates women

Trump - nominates women for chief of staff and UN ambassador

Dems - THOSE women don't count!!!

Well, MAGA is going to get a shot to show they can Govern. He is going straight Right Wing, no Centrist at all. Gonna be interesting. Even Pompeo who was loyal. I can see Haley, she took him on. Is he putting anyone that can talk across the aisle?
"....straight Right Wing, no Centrist at all...." You might want to check Stefanik's voting record in Congress.

Same for Susie Wiles. Go read her wiki page - Kemp, Reagan, Huntsman....even DeSantis......

Recalibrate your perspective: MAGA is no fringe group. It's mainstream GOP. It's a governing majority. It's a broad coalition of middle/working class people of all races.

Democrats don't appoint centrists to important positions.
Neither should we.

China isn't looming. China is going to be in a world of hurt. Their one child policy has likely doomed them as a society to the annals of history.


Not only are they not having enough children (leading to population collapse)

But even worse the older population (non-workers) are living a long time.

It's gonna break the budget to care for them.

I'm 30 years almost 30% of China will be old…not long after that it will rise to 50%.

It will be older than even Japan

It's laughable to think China will be a super power (economic or military) with the most geriatric population on earth

Their demographic problems are if anything even worse than what you cited. But they'll still be the most serious economic and military threat the USA faces for the remaining lifespan of everyone reading this thread. They still outnumber us, and will for at least a century. They still have substantially more industrial capacity than we do, particularly the hard manufacturing infrastructure needed to build armies & navies & air forces, and will for the remaining lifespan of everyone reading this thread.

You're making the same miscalculation that you make on demographics of Russia & Ukraine. Doesn't matter where things will be 50-100yrs from now, or even a decade. You have to make it work day by day. And if you don't gear up your policies to win for today & tomorrow, you won't make it to the 50-100yr timeframe.

China wins almost all the wargames done at DOD........ Granted, the wargaming is done for long-term planning to identify FUTURE threats and shortcomings, to give us head start on technology and procurement, but it does show that China is in most senses of the term a peer-rival. And they're perhaps a bit more than that in the first island chain.

everybody is on your side

We are all Americans who want what is best for our families. Having a difference of opinion is ok
The problem is the lefties know how they would act if they had a mandate... so they expect everyone else to act the same. They would persecute & prosecute their political opponents, so the assume the same will happen to them.

Very sad.
I disagree. The left counts on the right to be true to itself and simply turn the other cheek. They know the right would never sic the DOJ on their political opponents - so the left does. They know the right would never send the FBI to grandma's house to make arrests for political speech - so the left does. They know the right would never engage in lawfare - so the left does. They know the right would never censor political speech - so the left does.

Accordingly, the only way to stop the left is to use their tactics. Every liberal that supported these measures should be afraid - deeply afraid. That is how we emerge from the banana republic the left caused.

You simply cannot be nice to someone that thinks you are garbage.
You have just cited the central dysfunction in our republic - a co-dependent relationship where Dems can do whatever they want and we make it work....where Dems have no fear of creating messes because they know Republicans will not only fell obligated to fix those messes, but spend it's own political capital while incurring blizzards of opprobrium to do so.

Without the expectation of reciprocity there can be no deterrence. The left MUST fear that anything they do to us WILL be done to them. Without that, bi-partisan detente will be elusive.

Correction: the Left must be held accountable and fear the repercussions of their actions. They have done many unethical & illegal things that must be corrected, including punishing the guilt. But we should never sink to their level & do all of the same things. They still own the MSM and we should need feed their propaganda. They should be forced to lie which can be exposed.

He's not wrong:

In fact, he nails it.

"Kamala Harris was the most woke presidential candidate in history by far. She got smoked. It was a combination of incompetence, arrogance and woke that brought the Vice President down."

"It's crazy to look back and realize:

1. Trump was banned from Twitter for two years.

2. Trump was banned from YouTube for two years.

3. Trump was banned from Instagram and Facebook for two years.

4. The government pressured Facebook to censor dissenting voices as "misinformation".

5. The government pressured Twitter to shadowban conservative accounts.

6. The government pressured Twitter to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.

7. Trump has been hit with hundreds of lawsuits incurring $100-200 million in expenses over the last 8 years

8. Legacy media near-uniformly posted negative headlines about Trump

9. Google search results reflected and may have even amplified media bias

The fact that he was able to win again despite all of this is a stunning triumph of the human spirit."

We need a senate majority leader that represents Americans instead of the globalists. Rick Scott, not Cornyn or Thune
