Americans fed up with Trump

When a man, lying so-and-so, convicted criminal, with a character worse than a snake .... and the bad list goes on and on ...... elected in a 'norma' democracy as in the USA, what should I think about this voting public?

You might have noticed the "other side" of the Uniparty basically threw the election-fight. Biden managed to be even worse than Trump on policy.  He opened the southern border more than Trump had, after Trump was even weaker than Obama had been.  Biden also didn't deliver anything significant to his "base" - on healthcare, wages, etc. 
 

The main reason for the elites passing the baton back to Trump, IMO, was that the left-base was fed an ideology not consistent with the wars Israel had planned - and in recruiting Americans into the military to fight in them - and with their ongoing war-crimes in Gaza.   The flip to "anti-woke" was due to this.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that he will not touch Social Security benefits, emphasizing during his 2024 campaign and post-election that the program will remain intact without cuts to benefits. For example, he told NBC News after his election that “we’re not touching Social Security,” focusing instead on making it more efficient. Similarly, in a press conference, he reiterated that Social Security is “sacrosanct” and will not be altered in terms of benefits. His nominee for Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner, Frank Bisignano, also stated during a Senate confirmation hearing on March 25, 2025, that he has “no intent” of cutting benefits and had not discussed privatization with anyone.

Musk is just attempting to reduce waste and some staff to make it more efficient!

 

 

What would be the legal mechanism required for him to freeze the COLA? Or is there one? Can he just order it? Or does he need legislation?

Polls ...

No, I don't pay attention to any polls.  Simply too easy to get the results you want, by asking the question the way that solicits the answer you want.   

 

Along with the demographic, location, of the folks responding.  Too easy to skew the results.  If you don't realize that, well then .... nuff said.

Sure - need to read what the questions were (wording), and how the sample was selected.  The best source are the "meta polls" - though all the left/right polling companies have "unparty" biases, so even those have big holes in them. 
 

What information do you use to gauge public-opinion?   Rallies can / are often astro-turfed. 

 

But, more importantly, most people can be FOOLED, whether they are "left" or "right."  When enough are not being fooled (discontent with both parties), expect big fake "wedge issue" and hyped-up "events" to be utilized, to get them bleating for their assigned "side," again.

Really ?  You have a link to this or are they just anti trumpers that didn't vote for him in the first place. lol

Definitely a "never Trumper", but I try to face reality when it comes to removing this scum from office.

For that matter, what stops an Executive Order which restricts payments of SS to those citizens living in the USA?

How do you develop a good perception of a felon, sexual predator, and serial liar who boasts cheating contractors is good business?

 

How do you perform the mental gymnastics which enable you to think tariffs are a good thing which will not increase living costs for Americans, and will not alienate allies?

 

IMO such sophistry is only possible for someone with their head embedded in their ass.

''IMO such sophistry is only possible for someone with their head embedded in their ass."...

Are you implying that every one who does not think like you is, is, well what you describe there so elegantly.

Smacks of the definition of bigotry, don't you think?...

Thanks for providing no evidence to back up your generalizations. What your observations amount to is a sample of your biases.

And you are exempt from being biased it would imply....

God I have a profound dislike for bigots....

 

Go show your ignorance somewhere else please...

With so much/many contradictions, lies and falsehoods "some" of the maga's cronies, many who voted for him are starting to be fed up with his constant lies, resolutions by some of his appointed/ assigned members of some departments, the DOGE actions and the immigration mistakenly made, student visa removals and so many more, too many to report each of them.

The good thing is the opposition just has to be patient and wait for the middle term elections, 2 years and he will be gone, there will be light at the end of the tunnel, hang in there

If not suffering fools gladly is the definition of a bigot, guilty as charged.

Trump would need legislation for either of those initiatives. It will never happen. Same with his “third term” fantasies. Both Republicans and Democrats agree that two terms is enought.
