What Are Your Expectations for Donald Trump’s Second Presidency?
As the possibility of Donald Trump’s second term in office remains a topic of discussion, Americans across the political spectrum are weighing what his presidency could mean for the country. Trump’s first term was marked by significant policy shifts, controversies, and a highly polarized political climate. With his campaign focused on themes like economic revitalization, stricter immigration policies, and "America First" diplomacy, supporters and critics alike are speculating about what another term might look like.
For his supporters, a second Trump presidency might bring a continuation of his promises to strengthen the economy, prioritize domestic manufacturing, and reduce federal regulations. They hope for policies that would address inflation, secure the border, and bolster America’s standing in global affairs.
Critics, on the other hand, express concerns about divisive rhetoric, potential rollbacks of social and environmental policies, and the impact on democratic norms. They question how his leadership style might influence both domestic politics and international relations over the next four years.
Key questions remain: How would Trump approach ongoing geopolitical challenges like the conflict in Ukraine or tensions with China? What would his administration’s priorities be regarding healthcare, education, or energy policies? And perhaps most importantly, how would his presidency address the growing divide within the American populace?
What do you think?
Would you expect Trump to bring more stability or further polarization to the nation?
How might his policies impact the everyday lives of Americans, both positively and negatively?
Would his leadership style change after his experiences from his first term?
What areas should Trump focus on most if given a second term?
Share your thoughts—what are your expectations for another four years of Donald Trump in the White House?Deleted
Profit records and mass layoffs across the board, with outsourcing high-income, skilled work to foreign countries. Opened the markets to further foreign incursion, and that foreign incursion having the goal of national replacement and policy influence.
Perchance, do you have a good list of examples to support the claim?
The list of profit records, mass layoffs, and outsourcing continues to grow. Disney being the most recent to hop on the bandwagon that I can cite with their most recent layoff of 250 high-income, skilled workers only to replace them via an Indian workforce agency with the plan for more to come.Happy New Year to you as well! I completely agree with your comment. I appreciate Trump’s agenda of bringing new businesses to the U.S. and keeping the ones we already have. His efforts in deregulating industries have encouraged growth and investment, which are essential for building a strong economy. I look forward to seeing even more progress in his next term.
We are seeing so much change in the workforce, with technology moving faster than we can educate workers to fill many roles across various fields. My hope is to see Trump focus on education, making strides to make it more accessible to more people. Right now, we’re hiring many H1B workers to meet the demand, and while I believe we need to maintain a balance in utilizing visa workers to keep our economy on the right path, we can't cut off our noses to spite our face. Instead, we need to work on the root problems, ensuring that we invest in better and more affordable education so we can keep up with the rest of the world. Strong businesses paired with a well-educated and prepared workforce will secure our economic future.
It appears that President Donald J. Trump is going to shake the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) up and down during his second term in office. If he does it, which I'm optimistic he will, it will be long overdue. The FBI is undoubtedly the most corrupt agency in the Federal government. It went rogue years ago. This new FBI director, Kash Patel, that President Trump is replacing Christopher Wray with may be breaking the FBI up into five different government agencies. If he does it, it will be a devil fork in the back of the FBI; but, hey, the FBI has been ruining the lives of innocent people for years. I'm so sick and tired of seeing the FBI get sugarcoated and glamorized in movies and on television shows. It's about time that each and every American wakes up and smells the coffee to what kind of scoundrels are running this same government agency. They mistreat and abuse their lower-level employees and look for every reason to humiliate them. They don't treat civilians much better. It's about time that they get a dose of their own bitter medicine. President Trump has their number, and I'm glad that he won the 2024 presidential election. Joe Biden allowed the FBI to get away with murder during his four-year reign of terror. Well, that's all about to come to an end as of January 20, 2025.
Trump is already warmongering and threatening to take away Greenland from Denmark.
Why create a war situation where there wasn't none.
During Donald Trump’s second presidency, I would hope to see a focus on policies that strengthen the economy, promote job growth, and support American businesses. I would also expect continued efforts to address border security, as well as policies that prioritize the safety and well-being of American citizens. In addition, it would be encouraging to see a commitment to reducing government overreach and allowing more freedom for individuals and businesses to thrive. Lastly, fostering unity and creating opportunities for collaboration across the political spectrum could be an important goal for a more productive term. Time will tell, and one can hope.
I see the social paradigm becoming evermore vitriolic, not to say that this is Trump's doing directly, but a symptom of our country's ever sharpening social decline.
We are going to see immigration increase sharply, but with increasing silent deportations of illegal migrants. See the detention centers we are building quietly meant solely to house deportees. H1B is also a good citation for this.
Racial tensions will continue to rise sharply. We may even get to see BLM and/or a new branch of BLM enter the spotlight once more. This will be directly correlated with increased immigration, but used as a piggyback for other racial issues.
North Korea, China, Russia, and the entire BRICs bloc will see a sharp rise in tightening cooperation, with the new markets being opened globally within the next two decades. Trump's sharp rhetoric will inspire many backroom negotiations between enemies and allies alike. Though he won't be the sole reason this progress is made, he will speed it up drastically by alienating NATO allies.
Trump, with the help of his newfound elevated influencers like Elon Musk, will bring about a shifting paradigm in the gender wars. Dog whistle-like discrimination in the workplace, but especially on social media, will continue to rise sharply. Statistics show young men are feeling increasingly alienated, violent crime is rising, and history shows us that young men will grow increasingly violent when feeling socially ostracized. For more specific information, you can touch on statistics and studies within the dating world combined with increasing infidelity and divorce rates paired with video game and porn addiction.
Though mostly unrelated to Trump, we will see Canada enter further into full-blown socialism. Though their policies will not reflect their intentions directly, their rhetoric will become increasingly authoritarian as we see during their protests and on college campuses around their country. Within the decade, Canada will become a close trade partner with both China and Russia, and Trump will further escalate their distancing from us unless by chance he initiates a full operation to reshape social infrastructure in key Canadian influential groups like Obama did in Crimea prior to Russia's sudden annexation of it.
Inflation will increase by an average of 5% year over year, and we will continue to see the reduction of middle class families. Mobile living and forever-renters will increase in number drastically. Trump will not put legal limitations on entities like Blackrock purchasing homes to keep housing costs high. If I'm not mistaken, the last census taken said there were four vacant homes available for every family suffering homelessness, but not a single one would qualify for loans and affordability programs for the overpriced living quarters.
We will see a lot of publicly-owned land set aside for nuclear power. AI is becoming the next big venture, and our grids cannot handle even what we are currently capable of. We will see economic decline as private corporations sacrifice workforce for their bottom dollar, and this will be directly correlated to making silent deals with the government for energy infrastructure and space to create it. However, wandering blue collar jobs will rise in response to this, and equally so will crime in the boomtowns it inevitably creates.
What I expect to see most, and what will affect me in my personal life, is that Trump's famous rhetoric and retorts will send the media into a four-year frenzy. Every gaffe, misstep, and blunder will be harshly debated, while any good being done hidden behind the veil of criticism. This will, in turn, cause our social system to continue its descent into sociopolitical turmoil. The American people will continue to lose their identities (culture) for the sake of progress (multiculturalism), with birth rates continuing to plunge especially within the white statistic.
There will be more harm than good done for the slowly collapsing empire that is the United States of America, and that isn't on Trump, it's just history repeating itself.
A wish that I would want granted and will never see come true, but I think Trump could very well pull it off without any real damage to his reputation: Limiting the first amendment.
I believe that free speech is absolutely wonderful, it should be practiced widely, but I want to see it limited in public forums. I believe the constant onslaught of armchair revolutionaries is maintained strictly to keep people feeling as if they have a voice, when really they're just hurling insults and drivel into echo chambers and online enemy camps. Discourse, specifically sociopolitical, geopolitcal, etc. should be limited to specialized containment areas such as government buildings, organized protests on private corporate property, and internet sites designed and ran by politically-diverse specialists. Perhaps even a new branch of government specifically designed to hear and collate public concern could be established, though avoiding authoritarian abuse would be implausible and that's why I only play with this idea as opposed to really supporting and advocating it.
Meh, keeping this, "tl,dr" as the young crowd would say: Eat the rich. Trust no politician. Serve your community. Bring power to the proletariat. Disallow government and corporate interference in personal dealings. Remain firm in your principles, but keep in mind the collective future. Blah, blah, blah.Wow, it's been a while since I’ve seen you around! You come back with so many thought-provoking ideas that truly seem like real possibilities. I can't say I disagree with your predictions—they feel almost inevitable when you take a careful look at the history and trajectory of our nation. If we continue on the current path, it's clear where things could head. I really appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed post. What's even more impressive is that you were the only one who stepped up so far to share your thoughts. Thank you! Happy New Year!
Interesting.
Internet... with the advancing march toward every moment and every word you speak being recorded... will continue to impact humanity.
The reason for the mass migration we are seeing is also a by product of everyone having access to the internet via cell-phone and being made aware of what is available to them and seeking it out.
You mention Russia, China, etc... they will continue to develop BRICS... they will continue to bring in the majority of the world into their fold... Africa and Asia in particular, as 'the West' continues to fold in on itself and allow itself to be washed away by tens of millions of migrants that it cannot support and cannot get to assimilate in such large numbers in so short a time.
Its not the first time such things have happened...
The Roman Empire was washed away as much by 'migration' and 'climate change' as anything...
For example: The year of no sun around 536 was the most severe and protracted episode of climatic cooling in the Northern Hemisphere in the last 2,000 years.
The volcanic winter was caused by at least three simultaneous eruptions of uncertain origin, with several possible locations proposed in various continents. In March 536, Constantinople began experiencing darkened skies and lower temperatures... a summer of winter.
This impacted the entire world... for years.
It was the final nail in the coffin of any lingering Roman remnants and began a true dark age.
No amount of politics... military victories... or any human effort could have stopped it.
Today's technology would mitigate the severity of such an event... a few million of the most well off, most powerful... would continue humanity on its course.
But billions would perish regardless.I often wonder if the billionaire populace at large has a healthy minority of altruistic individuals among it quietly establishing countermeasures and contingencies that directly support the survival of those well beneath their means. If there really are, I'd assume they're not permitted to discuss it. Whether it be for their own safety, or not to cause alarm to the public, I'd assume they'd be actively hampered in efforts to spread awareness of options.
As it concerns global-level natural disasters occurring in general, it's in God's hands as they say. I try not to think of such things, it only fuels anxious thoughts for me. Admittedly, I had never learned of the volcanic dark age, and after a quick Google search I discovered it was called the Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA), which brings me to the question of why it was never taught to me in school.
As for our government continuing their path toward favoring representatives of foreign plebeians, I often get accused of racism when discussing the decline of American identity. It's one of the most concerning facets of the debate for me, being told that discussing it is inappropriate regardless of how watered down and progress-sensitive I can make it. My biggest concern is the amount of foreign agents we allow across the border.
It's one thing to allow an illegal migrant seeking asylum to enter undocumented after a background check, it's another to allow swathes of them to cross with no checks and balances only to hope we get them later on by way of application for welfare and identification. I've never once made a poor decision with my social security number, but two other people in the USA exist with the exact same number and we are all tied together on background checks, I can only assume many other seedy individuals have that same access to any amount of social security numbers to just become someone else and disappear entirely on a whim. Perfect for foreign actors with anti-American interests at heart.
One of the most interesting new developments for immigration is Mexico's plan to send ~5 million attorneys into the US, and develop an app designed to alert the nearest law agency to ICE deportation efforts as controlled by a panic button in the app. We will see how that plays into the game of immigration further.Part of the "billionaire populace at large" efforts were laid out by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations... In 2019, the WEF and UN signed a Strategic Partnership Framework to deepen ties and accelerate the implementation of Agenda 2030.
Or in other words... the UN became a representative body for the elites which now far surpass (collectively) the power and resources of any one nation... however... as China (CCP) is collectively in control of its nation's banks and corporations... this really pits China and BRICS in opposition to the UN & WEF... and by extension America.
Much of our government, including many politicians, defer to forwarding the goals and agendas of the UN & WEF.
Russia is the pivotal nation, IMO, to the success of both China and BRICS and the world decoupling from America and the Dollar as its reserve.
Which is why we are at war with Russia now... it appears to me our 'think tanks' and Pentagon plans have proven woefully inept for the current challenges they have faced the past few years... Russia and China have gotten the better of us since Biden stepped in.
If I were to speculate (and I have) it was with a lot of help from the Biden Administration that things have gone so swimmingly well for China lately.
Anyways, don't put your hopes on the "billionaire populace" helping the masses get through a disaster... at least half those in that class would prefer a massive depopulation of humanity.
The other half want a "great reset" they believe the world no longer is served by having nation states... and that such states need to be controlled and overseen much in the way our federal government overlords over individual states here in America.
Very few are working to preserve national sovereignty, wanting to subordinate America to higher international bureaucratic authority which does not have to worry about the consent of the populace or elections.
If you fast forward 40 years... America as an independent nation is as unlikely as our being a multi-planet species by that time. I believe both efforts are doomed to failure... of the two... our colonizing Mars seems far more probable to me.
AI... and the likelihood that Musk's Neuralink will have been developed to the point that almost all 'well-to-do' humans have such an implant... comparable to how most 'well-to-do' humans had iPhones the last decade... will in all likelihood change the course of humanity in ways we cannot conceive of today.I'll openly admit that I'm excited for the development of neuralink. I'm trying to see Cyberpunk 2077 become a real scenario, get myself chromed out and go cyberpsycho.
On a serious note, however, WEF and their influence has long been a cause of concern for me. The American populace as a majority seem woefully ignorant even to its existence, let alone its wide-reaching and concerning goals.
I have wanted to see WEF brought to its knees since the early 2000's when they began to introduce the goal of acceptance for non-ownership. Non-ownership meaning all assets, private and public, being owned by entities as opposed to individuals and oh so graciously handed out to the public.
In theory I see why they'd want such a thing, but in practice it's as stupid as my ideas about limiting free speech. It just isn't feasible, and by right is tyrannical.
Sadly, I also believe the altruism hidden beneath the gurgling muck of the elite is our only hope for reversal, or at the very least easing of the process. My hope stems directly from the idea that support for any meaningful opposition would also amount to supporting terrorist acts.Interesting... you must have rubbed elbows with different 'elites' than I have come across if you have faith in a hidden or collective altruism.
Consider the array of wealth and power that have worked diligently to oppose Trump... and then Musk when he shifted away from the 'elites'.
Consider what Agenda 2030 is... beneath the gurgling muck of well meaning word salad put forth in the documentation regarding Agenda 2030... or better yet the veiled threats within the UN Global Compact on Migration (and the like) which expresses clearly what should be done to ANY who try and oppose the borderless agendas proposed.
Consider being willing to conduct a war against Russia in which you allow direct attacks on Moscow (this has happened repeatedly) and work to overthrow the government from within, knowing Russia is the one nation capable of ending civilization, completely, other than the US.
You come across as knowledgeable enough, you know the saying power corrupts, in some rare cases it results in the likes of Musk... in most others it creates Palpatine like personalities in reality.
Someone like Bill Gates fits that description to a T...
* consider my plagiarism a compliment... I mean... 'gurgling muck' is just too good to pass up on.It's a sad state of affairs, but one of my favorite phrases to plagiarize is, "history repeats itself."
There has been no great revolution in history that did not have the backing of a subset of altruistic elites. Just to keep it American: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Paul Revere, and Thomas Paine.
All of these men were the elite, and all of them had their hearts in the right place at least in image and outcome of action. Whether they had their own evil designs on power and policy is a matter of speculation, but they laid the foundation for the American ideal.
Most of these men were in the armed forces, or at least were willing to serve by way of direct support. I rest a little easier knowing our military leaders still have some cojones.
I don't know who said it, but last night I was watching some geopolitical debates on the matter of revolution. One of the speakers said, "It is the duty of the American people to elevate the economic status of revolutionaries, and where there are none to create them."
It sounded sour at first, just the idea of making economic prowess a focus seems corrupt, but the more I mull over the idea it seems like that would be the only way to create a foundation for making a stand against tyranny.
There's also another quote I often ad-lib in conversation when discussing war, specifically the ever-present prospect of total nuclear annihilation. I believe this one was from the author Robert Greene (my favorite author):
A leader cannot become a leader if he is a poor sport. You've never seen a grand master of chess invited back to the big leagues if he is willing to flip the board and toss the pieces every which direction every time he stumbles. The game of power is a game that people want to continue playing, and that can't happen if the board is set ablaze.
I often find more reason to keep my trust in human altruism, and to hold out hope for good balancing the evil even in the face of what seems a certain and imminent collapse. When I see no good being had, much like today's geopolitical shitstorm, I trust in evil to serve its own desires for ongoing growth of their empire as opposed to simply lighting the chess board on fire.
Tyranny would be preferable to a cleansing war, at least then the fight may continue in what small, altruistic battlefields exist.Wow, Mr. Falk. A new and interesting voice.
Interesting...
The founding fathers were the vanguard risk takers, entrepreneurs, and brilliant minds of their era ...
A mixture of elites... Yes i would agree.
Also labeled criminals and traitors by the Crown.
Also enjoying less than majority support here in the States... Many Americans wanted to remain part of the UK.
Similar to the Musk, Gabbard, Kennedy, etc ensemble looking to renovate our government today.
Not at all looking to maintain the status quo.
One hopes anyway.Musk is one of my favorite power players to observe. His actions often betray his words, and vice versa. I like to think that he only ever flip-flops on his principles to maintain stature and play the long game, but time will tell whether or not Musk's designs for the world are truly positive.
Gabbard is fascinating in the way she is willing to remain flexible. She saw her party was full of old dogs unwilling to learn new tricks and so she went to the other corner of the ring. It makes me wonder if the wisdom of never trusting a traitor should hold true for her, but if Trump can get those term limits adjusted I'd throw my full support in her camp as term limits would help in dissolving the two-party system.
As for Kennedy, I'm concerned with his motivations as it concerns his desire for power. He has every reason to want to disestablish and reshape infrastructure, but if I were in his shoes I would be fighting to balance my desire for more personal goals with the needs of the nation. Keeping it short and simple: Revenge would be on my mind, and it would pepper my choices.
Someone who doesn't get mentioned enough is Ramaswamy, and his ties to pharma worry me. I don't trust anyone in the pharma industry, perhaps even less than I trust the government. Yet, he has been established as a rising star in the Republican party and I need to learn more about how and why he rose so quickly before forming any concrete judgements aside from ever-present suspicions.
We have a lot of, "sign tapping," going on within the American political system and its influential circles. This being an adopted reference to a scene in the Simpsons where the bus driver taps his sign that reads, "Do not talk to the driver," when Lisa is seeking directions after getting on the wrong bus. The phrase, "sign tapping," is now being used to refer to people such as Trump, Musk, Gabbard, etc. continuously repeating themselves and yet they seem to have no desire to actually act in a quantifiable way.
It is also being used conversely as a way for people to point to statistical data refuting their claims, and it has made me question more and more any positive momentum that our leaders claim is being gained. The relevance here being my need to scrutinize every word versus every action of our leaders.
In the end, I just want better immigration and assimilation infrastructure. It's truly the center of what is affecting my immediate life in a quantifiable way, and I'm not seeing any ground being broken on the assimilation front. I recently lost a contract, and subsequently settled some litigation in my favor, because three people I managed could not speak or read English without a translator. Speaking and reading English being key to our contract policies and function.
Those three individuals amounted to 1/4 of the team assigned to that contract, and when I brought it up to higher management I was met with suspension and removal from the contract. I was mindful of my wording and completely professional, the settlement saved them from a pending discrimination suit I would have been plaintiff for, but the problem will persist and grow. These are the debates being had, the problems I feel all of these previous individuals mentioned will only add to while placing themselves on a pedestal.
There's much more I could add about workplace discrimination as it concerns race, gender, and creed, and how culture (lack of assimilation, and thus conflict) ties into it, but it'd just muddle my already-verbose spiel further. In fact, I'm not even sure what I'm talking about anymore. All of this is causing my brain to bubble.I have some concerns as well... but I also recognize the corruption is so deep... so ingrained into our government... this really took its foothold back in the early 60s and the assassination of Kennedy put it on steroids for the last 60 years.
So... if we are going to deter the ending of America as a Nation State... if we are going to preserve any semblance of the 1st... 2nd... and so on, rights 'guaranteed' in the Constitution, then the Nation State... its Sovereignty needs to be protected. Its borders enforced... immigration limited... integration and assimilation expected... ending the give away of tens of billions of dollars of our taxpayer money to UN efforts to destroy the Nation State system. Etc.
Your particular example is a statement to our current time... and how the government laws and excutive orders cater to the foreigner ABOVE the needs and wants of the Citizens... and the Nation.
So for all your concerns for Kennedy and Gabbard and the rest... the alternative is continuing down the road we are going... which will certianly result in the end of America the nation and its Constitution for a higher authority(ies) that do not concern themselves with elections or the interests of the Citizens.
Much like we can see ongoing in the EU today... and Canada.
"A leader cannot become a leader if he is a poor sport. You've never seen a grand master of chess invited back to the big leagues if he is willing to flip the board and toss the pieces every which direction every time he stumbles. The game of power is a game that people want to continue playing, and that can't happen if the board is set ablaze."

Does this not describe Donald Trump to a "T"?
Tyranny is at the bottom of the barrel when any and all possible outcomes are considered. Tyrants speak of "installing order" as an excuse for dictatorial and authoritarian policies, they all have.I think it does describe the image of Donald Trump, but whether or not it truly describes the man is an enigma to me. It's been a longstanding rule among the elite that poor sports are a detriment to the long-game, so I often ask who would be pulling the strings of Donald Trump if it is not him himself. Surely, a man of his stature would see his empire crumble if he was not different behind closed doors than he is in the public spotlight?
Then again, it could be a sign of the times, and the rules that held the elite together for so long are being dismantled. In his journey to drain the swamp we will see the world flipped upside down, and the result is one that cannot be predicted. Even the Biden administration disenfranchising our President's candidacy, Biden's that is, was something I haven't seen before and goes against what I thought and learned to be a solid system for retaining power. It'd be nice to have some other examples listed of such an event to study to see what exactly the power moves were within the choice.Kyler, it describes him perfectly he always has been a poor sport and find the "rules" inconvenient as best. If you change the rules that govern the game of Chess, unilaterally and arbitrarily then it is no longer chess, is it? The Constitution is sacrosanct and inviolate and cannot be changed merely because you are sore loser. His infractions are without number, who is going to believe that every time he gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar, that he is being unfairly assaulted? I don't buy it.
I don't find Trump particularly tactful or intelligent, yet those of the right and their Agenda use him merely as a poster boy. People that are far more diabolical and sinister, yet whose intentions can be discerned even while they attempt to hide them from most people. Trump lacks the kind of discernment that you would think that he has comparing his private and public persona.
Trump is just part of the swamp he claims to want to drain. His desire is for more power to alter the game itself rather than work within its proscriptions. His populist label is just a cover for another power grab. He is using Oligarchy, creating a cabinet full of unsavory and inexperienced people as part of a spoils system that we dispensed with over 140 years ago. Do you really think that these plutocrats give a damn about the man in the street or do they want to put the government up for sale on their own auction block? Thus, so that even the government nor the law can constrain them against doing whatever they like.
Trump manufacturers most of his accusations against Biden. Trump is not innocent of crimes merely because he says so. So, his opposition unjustly targets him? I don't buy it.I think they all unfairly target one another, and I really have no personal stake in that game as it seems like a ploy to entertain the masses. Discerning what's true and what is not when both sides go on a rampage of character assassination is like finding a needle in a haystack that's been set on fire, and when all sides partake in pouring gasoline on it I see no reason to wade in and find the needle.
The only reason I continue to maintain support for the right as opposed to the left in this country, is because I suffer under the left's touted social reforms day in and day out in the workplace. So much so I've been made to utilize our legal system multiple times, and it's become clockwork to the point I see why our justice system is stressed to the point of becoming near-defunct under its fundamental systems. Yet, if I fight against it I find myself being the one taking long-term damages and I'd label it unjust.
I also see no evidence of Trump changing the constitution, even in the face of increasing scrutiny of it on all sides. However, I would argue that is often the job of politicians even if they fail to find middle ground in their ruminations: To press and even break the boundaries of what is acceptable in the name of progress. Progress to what end is what needs more transparency, something all sides lack as it concerns being transparent for those they govern.
Though I'm not a fan of Obama due to his choice to send more of us overseas, I believe he was the last true statesman we will see enter into office barring some drastic shift in the social paradigm, and even he has shifted his statesman-personality to something more like an insufferable viral influencer.
To give Credence to your stance (see what I did there), Trump does come off as an insufferable shithead, one who uses performative cruelty against those who would speak out against him even if it is relevant and concerning. Performative cruelty being something I have clumsily written articles about, and wish people could stop utilizing as a base for interaction in the sociopolitical sphere. I see it from all sides, though, and with social media it is only growing stronger.
If I had to summarize my feelings on all of it, what I need from the government for myself and my community to be happy: Anarchy, the original definition.
I want my personal life to be free from the concern that the government and its choices are directly impacting me negatively. I'd like to be able to dictate my culture with the input of those in my community, and not be worried that my culture is erroneously labeled, "racist, sexist, divergent, etc." and in need of corporate oversight or governing by a foreign body that does not and will not be walking in my shoes. I'd like to dig up my local sidewalks and replace them with hearty city vegetation, and have land designated for my community to grow herbs, spices, and other goods on currently corporate-owned land with inflated prices that sit as abandoned buildings and dump lots for the growing homeless communities.
I don't care what a politician or corporate overlord has to say about how I need to run my life anymore than I care about what the tweaked out, unmedicated crazy lady on the corner has to say. They're not contributing to my community directly, and should have zero say except in the case of national security. I'd sooner see politicians and corporate cronies dragged into the streets to answer for their crimes, and be subjected to mob rule, than give my confidence that they can run my life better than I can.
All that being said, "we live in a society," and we must function by the rules of the game. It is only recently that I have begun to see all sides do away with the rules, and the purpose is not something I am able to deduce by comparing historical examples unless the goal is collapse and reformation. Which, by Trump's stated agenda, could very well be the goal.
I don't know, it's exhausting to think about. Like I've said, government and corporate influence has been taking its toll on my sanity for the past few years as I rise in the world. Domestic terrorism is on the rise by way of redefinition, and I expect to see more of it as our elites cower in their ivory towers. Though, I do hope deep down the elites come to terms with the reality of the working man and shift focus to collaboration soon."The only reason I continue to maintain support for the right as opposed to the left in this country, is because I suffer under the left's touted social reforms day in and day out in the workplace. So much so I've been made to utilize our legal system multiple times, and it's become clockwork to the point I see why our justice system is stressed to the point of becoming near-defunct under its fundamental systems. Yet, if I fight against it I find myself being the one taking long-term damages and I'd label it unjust."
Could you elaborate "suffering under the Left's touted reforms"?
Anarchy is not an acceptable answer among over 330 million people. We all have to agree to play by the same rules. The concept of government is not anathema in itself, it is only "the Right" that would have us believe such.
In the need for cooperation among so many , people have to compromise about just doing whatever they want verses unjustified restriction on your personal choices, that has been one of the struggles that continue to define us.
In my mind the actions of January 6, 2021, reveals a sore loser and one not willing play by the rules and the Left does not come close. While the Right says that Trumps involvement was incidental, too many events of that day that posed a threat to playing by the rules took place. There are simply too many coincidences that day to the point that there has to be a pattern.
First, Trump denies he lost the election, putting the country in a turmoil for 4 years when every credible source said that he did lose. When has that ever happen d before?
Second, it has to be more than coincidence that so many electors were false, when the tally was taken for the Electoral College. I consider that as a blatant attack on people and their right to proper representation of their votes.
Third, although Trump denies this, his very presence and his foul oratory provoked the attack on Capitol building that day. What was he doing there? What was he doing riling up crowds after everybody except him recognized that he had lost?
Fourth, it has been documented that Trump attempted to intimidated Pence into exceeding his authority as moderator for the process, while no power to interfere with the time honored process.
All of those points lead to a man that is willing to cheat and break the rules and I see no comparable example of the same from the Left. how is it that the Left has been operating outside of the rules? Certainly, not simply because Trump says so. Is there a possibility, even remotely that he is guilty any of the numerous charges made against him at both the state and federal levels?
We don't live on an island, Kyler, for the system to accommodate so many, the balance between laws that are necessary for harmony among so many verses an overbearing state will always be a challenge.
Elites have always been among us, the danger is when they have unwarranted influence and interference in the way that we are governed. When speaking with a friend of mine living in Britain, it is interesting to note that their far right parties, the equivalent of Trump and MAGA, are a fringe 7 percent. The lunatics simply have not taken control of the asylum as they have here. They have their wealthy individuals but Government is never for sale.Clarification for the social reforms statement: DEI in the workplace, and forcibly injecting cultures and beliefs into work/social environments.
My biggest problem with DEI is that it often artificially elevates people above others, and I see it play out disastrously more often than not.
One of the clearest examples I can give was an event held at a welfare center I was overseeing in LA. It was Juneteenth, so everything was adorned top to bottom with Juneteenth decorations and info-graphics. The event and decorations themselves were not the problem, but the discourse and consequences it inspired were.
My workplace was predominantly African American and Latino, LA is notoriously segregated by race and culture, and I was one of three caucasians working in the building and the only caucasian among my Latino team. The powers that be in the workplace went all out for Juneteenth with the best food, drinks, banners, music, and other accoutrements. Later on when it came time to celebrate a Latino holiday (I can't remember which one) management seemed to go out of their way to do the bare minimum.
This discrepancy led a Latino manager to question the difference between the two events, and why upper management placed so high a number value on one event and not the other. Keeping things short this led to the entire building gathering to hear an argument organized by self-proclaimed members of the Black Panther party. Somehow, the discourse began to include the cultural meaning of colors.
Though being the second to last minority in the group above Asians, whites were brought into the yucky mix of discussion. I was the only one present of my race and cultural group, and I was quickly singled out by the loudest of the Panther representatives. She was quick to bring up that white means the absence of substance (it doesn't) and that white was always meant to disappear (discussing race). She then stated that whites were never meant to exist while looking me dead in the eyes, and all I could say was that, "This whole thing is inappropriate, and something is going to be done about it."
I exited shortly thereafter when the whole room went silent except for the enraged Black Panthers and their vocal supporters.
Little did I know, I would have to escalate my concerns to the legal system when I was told my comment about the appropriateness of the discourse was racist, threatening, and my removal was on the table. It ultimately led to a silent apology, permanent documentation with the county, and a hostile work environment for me from there on out. Luckily, I promoted soon thereafter and took on different contracts so I didn't have to continue dealing with it all.
Nonetheless, I believe the left's rhetoric and reform has inspired workplace activists to be brave enough to be outright racist, sexist, and violent toward anything they consider to be the boogeymen. This isn't to say the right doesn't do the same thing, I just don't suffer immediate consequences from it other than further social decline and worsening of said decline. When I don't directly suffer from it, I have trouble walking in the shoes of those who do, and thus I feel my opinions are often unwarranted in conversation.
So I sat back one day and asked, why did this happen other than what I believe is the left's spoken agenda inspiring misguided activism?
Well, the leadership there was predominantly black with self-proclaimed extremist ties. They regularly threatened individuals who reported maltreatment if it was not an, "us versus them," narrative they could stand behind. Latino leadership was sidelined in any discussion involving culture, and regularly got into arguments with the larger black demographic of the workplace. Then the cherry on top being that no one but the black and latino community seemed to be allowed any say, let alone being present when discussion did occur.
Every day is like walking on eggshells, and I believe this is strictly due to the anti-white/other narratives I was raised upon and see playing out in social and political spheres. I, personally, blame the left for their over-correction of course for America's oppressive nature. I also blame corporate America for enforcement of what I see as the left's social agenda of DEI which governs sociopolitical problems in the workplace with a discriminate iron fist.
Then again, I could just be burnt out on people in general, and I'm finding scapegoats to feel at least some peace of mind. I think that is most likely the case.Thanks for your explanation Kyler.
DEI always seem to involve black folks in some shape or form.
I can’t justify the extremists on the left side no more than those that exist on the Right as there are plenty of those.
You know, they said in the 1980s that a holiday in honor MLK jr would be seen as a Black Holiday. King holiday represents the trials and tribulation of the struggle to attain equal rights and justice for everyone. We all should celebrate that.
I confess that beyond recognition of the end of slavery what is the universal appreciation of Juneteenth that would designate it as a national holiday?
As I mentioned to you, I had lived in the “Inland Empire” during the last half of the 1970s, and I am sure that nothing is the same today. Yes, neighborhood were segregated by race and culture, but wealth and income may have been a far more accurate determinant at least in the place where Randy Newman once sang that in LA, it is the money that matters. I just fell to pieces over his 1983 hit “I love LA”. Sorry to digress
As I have discussed with others before, DEI is not a preference program that put unqualified people ahead of others. I don’t see any problem of expanding the pool of applicants instead of just pulling the first convenient white fellow from off of the shelf. That is the way that it has been, equal opportunity employment is an ideal and making it a reality is still a work in progress. I would not mandate DEI on corporate America within the private sector as it would impose on their prerogatives as being privately owned. But I will insist upon it in the public sector since I have to pay taxes to support this sector and why should I pay if I can’t know that as a tax payer that I can be hired if qualified?
A lot of OUR people have a lot of repressed anger about a lot of things, and it spills over sometimes on those that are not directly responsible. For me, the Right is the “boogeyman” threatening democracy and my right to equal participation and opportunity within American society. But, I believe that bringing the Black Panthers into this disagreement needlessly elevates beyond necessity. While you don’t suffer from the Right and its machinations, many of us see them as the greater threat. That is just the polar opposite of where you are.
None of you deserve to be picked on. I am not sure that America’s oppressive nature gone away just simply not being experienced in the same way. We have a lot of ignorant people making a scene over nothing, and I can’t apologize for them. I prefer to work with substantive issues and would criticize the far black left for wasting time with meaningless minutia.Juneteenth is set aside as a space to recollect, honor, and relive the history of black America. Moreover, it is used as a time to platform black influencers, advocates, and activists more actively and give the spotlight to them.
In my experience of different corporate/work environments, it's a series of virtue signaling and increased workplace incidents involving discrimination and harassment.
I think I'm also much closer-entwined with the anti-white crowd because my work often revolves around the disenfranchised, and these government and corporate entities are often strictly managed by African Americans, and the other majority being women, with a focus on removing certain demographics from their workplaces.
I chalk most of it up to being centered in LA, things there are like a step into an alternate universe. The amount of murders I've witnessed in the last year shouldn't go beyond zero but I'm at four, and the other violent crimes I've witnessed are innumerable. Each workplace has its own set of unspoken racial boundaries, and gender plays a huge factor in different schemes and designs.
Perhaps it is because it is a big city, and this is just what city living has become or always has been. However, I'm bombarded with barbed racial/gender language and agendas every day and with every action I take. I can't even open my emails without constant reminders of how important it is that we keep elevating people solely based on race, creed, and gender.
It'd be one thing if there was equal representation, but it's another to be on the manufactured shit end of the stick that was said to have been legally ended before I was even born.
Wealth and income is still what segregates the inland empire, though organized crime is more pervasive and the poorer areas much larger. By all measurement, it is environmental circumstances that keep poor areas growing, but I'd argue the roots of the environmental circumstances stem from a focus on immediate profits as opposed to investing in infrastructure that causes relatively short-term deficits.
It's all a mess. I just want to exist without dodging agendas and brutality every day.I think LA... CA... is a glimpse in to what America, all of America, could be contending with soon enough.
Its why so many "middle class" people really are moving to Mexico and other places where their dollar goes much further and none of the issues that dominate our media and corporate/institutional/government injection of DEI and other efforts aren't constantly made into THE most important issue... more important than getting a contract done on time, or making the best item, or any of the goals that should be at the forefront of what is going on in a business or agency.
We are replacing reality and capability and merit with nonsense and feelings... if that regains control of our government and institutions it will lead to the destruction of America the nation, its best corporations, its competitive edge, its competency... we can see this erosion occurring everywhere... if it isn't stopped completely and reversed immediately, America will be surpassed soon enough by the likes of China and Russia that do not care, at all, about such nonsense that we have decided to prioritize in the West.
Or simpler still... the Rise and Fall of Nations... with the fall of the West becoming apparent to all but the most blind of us.
I don't know what you are talking about here, Kyler?
No one should be allowed to muzzle my voice or toy with the First Amendment. As far as I am concerned, the very thing that makes America America is the concept of free speech and assembly. Any threat to that will accelerate the fall of this nation, so I would step lightly if I were you. And you know what? I will help to do it because America is an ideal, not just a collection of states. The ideal fades, America is not recognized by me any longer, and not worth preserving in its retrograde attitude. So, We will pummel Trump and the MAGA regime to a pulp if there is any threat to freedom of speech and assembly. He will be humiliated in the eyes of "thoughtful" Americans and among the nations of the world who once saw America as an example to emulate. I will with all my energy destroy Trump and MAGA for creating such a threat....
I will always take the liberty to say what I like about any public figure and will not be silenced, which, of course, the contrary is on the wish list of every right winger.
Don't mean this in a nasty way, you and I had made acquaintance some time ago. It is just that this sort of thing always rubs me the wrong way. For example, multiculturalism is fundamentally a code word anti-.white, How am I suppose to live with that and accept that as anything short of an act of war? So yes, I am pessimistic as to our nation's future prospects.That's exactly why I only toy with the idea, as opposed to advocating or outright supporting it.Tyranny would be inevitable under any limitation to the amendment, but I also believe it inspires more bad than good in the social sphere.
The entire foundation of my desire to toy with it in my mind comes from one thing: American complacency.
I believe the ongoing full support of the first amendment by what seems to be a government that no longer supports the middle class, is strictly to keep people in an, "us versus them," mentality. We are no longer American by right of our original ideals. We are simply vassals meant to toil in the fields, and accept what comes by way of government initiatives. I think there's no greater current example than H1B being the hottest topic in the nation, and the argument being whether or not we should actively outsource high-income work to foreign actors.
I became increasingly concerned with the first amendment when I began high-profile work in a prominent cultural center here in California. I worked with politicians, millionaires, and their toadies very closely, watching the inner workings of migration from Vietnam play out in a city granted to them post-war. I'm sure with a bit of research you can deduce where I'm discussing without me having to reveal the sensitive information myself. Key point being my access to backroom discussions where the active sale of American business, and the increase of such goals, was front and center.
To make this short and sweet: We gifted an entire city to the Viet community, and I watched as they actively sold their people, sometimes literally (trafficking), to known criminals. Politicians were exposed for money laundering through local business, local business owners actively defraud their community, and most of it is owned by Chinese officials as opposed to the Viets they truck in to serve them for illegal, untaxed wages. The Viets then turn to blame the American government and more its nationals for what the Chinese have done and continue doing, as backroom meetings occur to further sell out the American populace to China.
There is no stronger a tool than the first amendment in giving these bad actors influence over the public at large, and complacency gives us no real medium to fight with our voice. Sure, I could write all about it, expose names, provide hard evidence in the form of video, voice recordings, and images to support the claims, but who would hear it? It'd be suppressed immediately, was mostly suppressed when those willing tipped off local officials with very minimal news coverage, and I'd probably disappear or get Epsteined or worse.
One example I can give without any real damage to myself, because it is now public knowledge, is Andrew Do. His involvement with my clients gave me a front row seat to his downfall. He, forgive my wording, essentially raped the coffers of California taxpayers. The only thing that stopped him was an anonymous tip to city council and the FBI, and they were reluctant to even pursue the matter because of the ties Do had to China.
Now limit the first amendment to government buildings, demand the government provide a televised 7-days-per-week forum where the public must gather in front of officials specifically made to oversee and collate public discourse, and people would then get to have a true space where the public can hear their voice and the government must also listen in front of their constituents. It's a horrible idea in practice guaranteed, but I keep playing with it in lieu of what I feel should be a tangible, organized system for positive change as dictated by the people, for the people.
"It's not just that off-the-wall press conference. Judge Cannon, the Facebook capitulation, the Washington Post implosion, the NC SCOTUS about to overturn an election... The fascist doomerism and democratic collapse is OFF THE RAILS today. It's only Jan. 7."
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics … o68pZ01b_w"In New York state courts, a defendant becomes a felon when he is sentenced and a judgment is entered, lawyers said. It puts the conviction officially on the books.”
If a conviction is appealed and overturned in New York state, the label of "felon" would generally be removed, as the conviction itself is vacated or reversed. In criminal law, a felony conviction typically stays on a person's record until it is officially vacated, overturned, or expunged. Once an appeal results in the conviction being overturned, the individual would no longer legally be considered a felon.
But enjoy... He may win or lose his appeal.
Who's expectations centered around windmills and whales?
https://youtu.be/EbcVF4qrTXU?si=jAHoS9fjlTEezmIB
By the way....Wind power is often listed as one of the cheapest sources of electricity generation, especially when considering large-scale, land-based wind farms.... Does he not know the facts or just a liar?
Also...
There is no evidence to back Mr Trump's suggestion that offshore wind turbines are killing whales....
NOAA officials carried out post-mortem examinations on about 90 humpback whales found dead since 2016.
Forty per cent of those deaths were linked to human interaction - whales becoming entangled in fishing nets, or being struck by vessels travelling through their feeding grounds....oh my.Back to the subject --- What Are Your Expectations for Donald Trump’s Second Presidency?
This press conference was very interesting, and once again, Trump announced that more offshore businesses would be bringing jobs and business in technology. Thus far in the past month, he has announced two huge investors, that will spend billions bringing their business to the US. He also reiterated his threat to Hamas, demanding they release the hostages. It was an informative press conference, and I’m so pleased he’s offering them weekly. He answered questions and, as always, spoke his mind. I hope others take the time to listen to the full press conference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37IAF9SLG1gWhy ignore all the crazy parts though? He rambled about nonsense, about decades-old grievance after grievance... The investments you speak of, or a sentence with little to know elaboration or detail... What he did elaborate on? Whales, windmills, shower pressure, itchy heat, taking over greenland, lies about the Panama canal... And the usual litany of name calling... including calling America a horrible place.
Hopefully, anyone interested in what Trump is up to will catch up on facts not just grab a bulb here and there...
Mr, Sajwani spoke in the first few moments of the press conference to share his plans ---- Link in my last comment
Emirati billionaire Hussain Sajwani, chairman of DAMAC Properties, has committed to investing at least $20 billion in U.S. data centers over the coming years. This announcement was made alongside President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.

DAMAC plans to develop data centers across several U.S. states, including Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Ohio, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, and Indiana. These facilities are intended to support the growing demands of artificial intelligence and cloud services.
CBS NEWS
Sajwani expressed that Trump's election victory inspired this significant investment, highlighting the potential for increased economic collaboration between the U.S. and the Middle East.
AP NEWS
This investment aligns with the broader trend of substantial foreign investments in U.S. technology infrastructure, reflecting confidence in the nation's economic prospects and technological advancements.
NOTE ---A few weeks ago press conference, President-elect Donald Trump announced that Japanese billionaire Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank Group, plans to invest $100 billion in the United States over the next four years. This investment is expected to create approximately 100,000 jobs, focusing on artificial intelligence and related infrastructure.

He is off and running! I am appreciative of a president that is working for me...You're still ignoring 99% of the rambling tirade
I saw nothing in either press conference that could be labeled rambling. I feel each one provided much about his plans, and him taking time to answer every question asked of him. This is such an improvement over Biden's incoherent sometimes silly behavior.
Whales and windmills? Heat that makes you itch? Showers that water doesn't come out? Taking over Greenland and the Panama canal? China controlling the canal? Renaming the Gulf of mexico? he also said he could use “economic force” to turn Canada into the United States’ 51st state? ....looney tunes stuff.
I knew exactly what he was referring to on all counts.
I feel it's a president’s right to put forth fresh ideas that could potentially be beneficial for our nation. A president should be allowed to think outside the box and suggest policies or concepts that could bring about positive change. To my knowledge, Trump has never claimed that he would annex any nation, and I’m not sure where that idea came from. It seems to me that purchasing a country is not the same thing as annexing it. The two are fundamentally different concepts. Annexation typically involves taking control of a country without its consent, whereas purchasing land or territory would be a transaction based on mutual agreement.
I also find the mindset behind such accusations disturbing. It feels like an oversimplification of complex ideas that requires more thoughtful consideration. Labeling a proposal as something as extreme as annexation without context doesn’t add much to the conversation and, from my view, isn’t very intelligent. It’s important to engage with ideas critically and thoughtfully, not just make snap judgments based on misinterpretations. Just because you have a keyboard.I find the mindset more disturbing that talks about America first, scaled back global involvement one day but then finds acquiring the Panama canal Greenland and Canada a- ok the next. Trump has pulled the wool on your folks. Instead of isolationism you're going to get expansionism.
Anyone ever wonder what kind of message that sends to Putin and xi? Hey they can carve up the world together. A lot of waffling goes on in this forum.So, how does one purchase a country, Sharlee? What indigineous people anywhere would agree to be "purchased"?
It is all pretty clear to me, I think that it is quite intelligent, the US should not imply either subtely or otherwise that force is not going to be ruled out in regard to Greenland, and that is something Donald gave no assurances about and I am going to eat him alive for it.
Your definition of "misinterpretation" comes down to basically supporting Trump regardless of what he may say.What indigineous people anywhere would agree to be "purchased"?
Hawaii did. Puerto Rico has discussed it, haven't they?Where did you dredge that up Wilderness?Hawaii was annexed by the United States, under the influence of a prominent American official the Hawaiian Queen was deposed. In this as in so many other instances, America is guilty.
More of the same kind of slight of hand, fomenting hostilities, the US used to separate Columbia from Panama so that it could build the Canal that Columbia was opposed to.
Only conservatives think in 19th century terms. The only justication for one nation to take control of another is based upon the wishes of its residents. Puerto Rico has had the choice of Statehood, Commonwealth, or independence. This is something that the residents there will decide, not the colonialists.... so territories, particularly thise inhabited by people cannot be just "put up for sale"
From the National Archives, wilderness, the point can't be made any more clear.
"When the Hawaiian islands were formally annexed by the United States in 1898, the event marked the end of a lengthy internal struggle between native Hawaiians and non-native American businessmen for control of the Hawaiian government. The previous year, an annexation treaty was blocked when the newly-formed Hawaiian Patriotic League, composed of native Hawaiians, successfully petitioned the U.S. Congress to oppose it."
Another key expectation for the Trump presidency is to put an end to the censorship that characterized the previous administration.
Zuckerberg tells Rogan Biden admin would 'scream' and 'curse' at his employees, demanding censorship ---Zuckerberg joked that the consequences of the political establishment pushing for censorship is that they 'lost the election'
Meta CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg recently revealed in an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan that members of President Biden’s administration aggressively pressured his employees to censor content on their platforms. According to Zuckerberg, the administration’s demands were particularly intense during the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine, when they sought to suppress discussions about vaccine side effects, even if the content was truthful.
"During the Biden administration, when they were trying to roll out the vaccine program," Zuckerberg explained, "they also tried to censor anyone arguing against it. They pushed us super hard to take down things that were honestly true. They basically told us that ‘anything saying vaccines might have side effects, you need to take down.’ And I was like, ‘We’re not going to do that. We’re clearly not going to do that. That is kind of inarguably true.’”
When Rogan asked who specifically had been demanding these removals, Zuckerberg responded, “It was people in the Biden administration.”
Zuckerberg described initially resisting these efforts, particularly when it came to content that was factually accurate or simply memes. However, the pressure escalated after a statement from President Biden, where he allegedly said that social media companies were “killing people” by allowing certain content. This marked a turning point in their interactions.
"I mean, basically, these people from the Biden administration would call up our team and scream at them, curse at them, and it was just like... these documents are out there. It's all kind of out there," Zuckerberg recalled.
The situation became so intense that Zuckerberg and his team ultimately drew a firm line, declaring that they would not remove content that was factual. He noted, "We basically got to this point where we were like, ‘No, we’re not going to take down things that are true. That’s ridiculous.’ Then, like, all these different agencies and branches of government just started investigating and coming after our company. It was brutal."
Rogan inquired whether anyone was held accountable after these investigations. Zuckerberg responded with a wry smile, saying, "I mean, they lost the election."
Beyond the immediate fallout, Zuckerberg argued that the government's actions—by pressuring Big Tech companies to censor content on its behalf—violated the First Amendment. He pointed out that while companies are not bound by the First Amendment, the government certainly is. "I don’t think that the government pushing for social media companies to censor stuff was legal," Zuckerberg asserted. “The First Amendment does apply to the government. That’s, like, the whole point. The government is not allowed to censor this stuff.”Interesting!
I doubt sincerely future administration(s) won't have an influence on the social media industry. The incoming administration has already. Our (US) government has influenced social media since its inception. The keyword is 'influence'.
