    Yep, I'm LMAO watching him carry out what he had time to think about doing. Watching the libs cry is quite amusing. I will say this the libs left quite a mess to cleanup.

    I took his comment as sarcasm. Perhaps it wasn’t, I dunno.

    there's a book you might be interested in, _Modern Dogma and the Rhetoric of Assent_, by Wayne Booth. Booth was responding to the widespread skepticism and relativism of the 1960s and 1970s that typified the anti-war and anti-establishment movements of the time.

    Booth argues that instead of adopting a sort of de facto stance of doubt or skepticism to these kinds of things, the more rational strategy (and what we use for 99 percent of our daily lives) is to start with assent: believing until you have a reason not to believe. Trusting until you have a reason not to trust.

    I've always found that to be a good policy. I've got no reason to believe that Musk is evil. I have no reason to believe Trump 2.0 will be Hitler 2.0. None of the Democratic talking points make ANY sense to me, on virtually anything.

    I do believe that government needs an overhaul. I do believe that government in many of its guises is more of a threat to individual liberty and to individual freedom than what folks here seem to fear. I'm a liberal big "L", as in classic liberalism: small government, maximum freedom for individuals.

    We live in interesting times. Let's see how this thing unfolds.

    Trump is gonna seize Gaza

    Kuschner gonna put up condos. They’re gonna try and make Another Dubai

    He made a real Estate deal. US gets Gaza and Israel gets the US military and investment in Israel.

    I think they want to build a canal through there.
    They don’t fully trust Egypt and the suez

    If you think Donald Trump has deep thoughts, wait for him to drop nukes on a hurricane ... since Trump has a very, very large brain and knows how to use it.

    I think he's carrying out his thoughts

    Particularly what he was going to do with the agencies that spied on him/went through his wife's underwear drawer, tried to imprison him, lied about the Hunter laptop etc... Yeah, I believe he's put a lot of thought into that. I know Melania has.

    Chikens are coming home to roost.

    Why get involved in pointless "forever wars" when you can get involved in the forever war?

    Why does the Richest man in the world want access to financial records and clean up gov't corruption when he has not one, but two companies to run?

    I mean we don't have to guess. These guys talk a lot about what they envision as an ideal future. There have spoken about it passionately many times. So rationally, why don't you just believe what they have said?

    That would be entertaining.

    If Netanyahu says he wants this then I'm on board. Will Trump and other billionaires make money off of this, yes they will but the job needs to be done and with the military helping out in Gaza that will stabilize the region. There will be no more Oct 7th's. Iran must be shaking in their boots.

    What countries, they aren't going to take over Canada. Greenland has military strategic advantages and if their people vote for us to run their country we should do it.

    As far as getting the govt waste under control, I cant understand why anybody wouldn't want to do this. They're going to move the USAID over to Secretary of State office. They've only shut it down for 30 days so nobody truly in need will really go without.

    As far as the FBI/CIA/ DOJ goes,

    The FBI illegally spied on Trump and went through his wifes underwear drawer. I ask you would you try to change leadership/employees in an org that was obviously doing illegal things and involved your wife when they were going after you?

    Would you change leadership/employees that hid the Hunter Biden laptop illegally, lied and helped change election results?

    Would you change a DOJ that tried to imprison you by bringing up charges against you with charges that were somehow made into a felony by using said charges against you that have never been made against another POTUS nominee or regular person in the history of this nation?

    Agreed, it's very unlikely, but still possible.

    Before you finish jerking off to Elon, Tinyman ... you should know he's a classic sociopath grifter. Who knows whom or what else he'll pretend to like next. But I'm sure you knew that already since you're really smart and all.
