Spoiler: they won’t.

The idea that Art of the Deal can’t get this guy back is absurd, they have the power and ability to do so. They refuse to.

This is the important part. Trump 1.0 didn’t have carte blanche to get away with everything, the SCOTUS and a more compliant Congress have given 2.0 that authority.

Mob style, bribery and physical threats to your family and loved ones.

I took my car into the dealership for a full work-up and diagnostic in January, roughly $1k… mentioning the light and the recall I had heard about. Well, they said everything was good and unless I brought the car in with the light on they couldn’t do anything about it or the recall. Days later, the light came back on driving home early from work. So, I head right there, while the engine is stuttering and fighting to make it across town. There isn’t any availability until end of the following week…

I go across town to a hole in the wall mechanic and get seen immediately. They diagnose a cracked head gasket and blown radiator pretty quickly, order a new engine because it’s like $375 and under $2k to install. Done by Monday.

I originally went to the dealership. I explained the problem, the cars keep a warning light log that they can access… and they missed the obvious issues but still charged me $1k for work that didn’t matter my more, because I got an entirely new engine and radiator.

And if it is, and he can, that’s a natural born leader right there if I ever saw one. Promote ahead of peers (who can’t helicopter penis). Meritocracy.

This administration wouldn’t even have to think twice about calling in an army of scabs, the national guard, and even active duty military… to crush collective bargaining. Just wait, if they don’t destroy their spirit to fight before hand, this is what they’ll do next.

We obviously needs a test that is biased toward males so we can clearly see and point toward female deficiencies.

Being born with the appendage designed for peeing standing up is significantly more important than all that other stuff you mentioned. Simply having a uterus makes women 10x worse, duh.

There were early rumblings of making it a Trump Dynasty, which would be easier than transitioning to Vance (in the event of a third term, where they probably will run on a false ticket of Trump/Trump).

Donald Trump does something evil. Random internet troll must ‘both sides’ it, instead of calling out the evil in front of their face.

I am telling you, that it doesn’t matter. When you replace the leaders who had a spine with stooges, and then beat down anyone else at the bottom who had a spine, and then start firing or refusing to pay people who aren’t falling in line, everyone else will follow along with whatever you want them to.

Look at the media right now, as a perfect example. Look at universities right now. People are afraid to speak out, because speaking out is being beaten out of them. It will and it has reached the military, too.

It’s naive to think that the military will stand up to it. The Trump administration already fired the leaders who could stand up to them, and then killed ‘DEI’ efforts to ensure that leaders know that they’re there only as long as they’re useful to the guys at the top.

Edit: HTF do you think murdering, executing, and committing genocide was normalized for the people and militaries in Nazi Germany and Israel right now? It’s happening here, and pretty soon convincing the military that Canada, Mexico, or Europe are enemies won’t be difficult. “They’re colluding to commit economic warfare against us! MAGA! Protect America from these bully Europeans!”

Edit 2: I’m afraid of speaking my opinions at work, or to say anything about my beliefs. I know good and well that there are ‘loyalty tests’ coming up, and I’m having to keep my head down now so that I don’t get labeled ‘not loyal enough’ now. And Lemmy here? In the future me exercising my 1A here could end up with me being fired or worse, sent to a gulag somewhere removing toxic waste from the soil after the US nukes itself.
