I have not heard that. Where did you see it?
These are fair questions and things that should be addressed by courts and the legislative body responsible for creating the FISA program. But until specific issues are raised in court or clarified through new legislation, shouldn’t DHS and DOJ use the tools available to them when there is reasonable suspicion of criminal activity that could involve national security threats posed by foreign adversaries?
He was authorized to possess them while he was VP ( just like Mike Pence ) and once discovered after leaving office he immediately turned them over just like Mike Pence did when it was discovered he had classified documents stored at his home in Indiana
On the surface yes. But not when those agencies have a political agenda. The important question is what is done when that agency abuses its power driven by its political agenda? How do you think that should be addressed?
Probably the same place he saw that inflation outpaced wages. We’re still waiting for a link to that.
So, politicians should never be prosecuted because they can cry politics?
Yeah. I edited my response b/c perhaps I misunderstood the statement. I still don't get it though.
And how does replacing the civil service and DOJ with Trump loyalists solve or improve that problem?
I actually don't think this is right. I don't think Trump has any desire to create a familial dynasty. He only cares about his own glory, not his family's. I don't think he really gives two craps who takes over for him when he's gone, as long as it's someone who celebrates him as the greatest president of all time. There is going to be a mad scramble to try to influence Trump to throw his weight behind a successor after his term is over. The Musk/Thiel wing will likely be pushing Vance, unless they find a more useful prop for their purposes. The Heritage Foundation wing will push one of their own, whoever that may be (Tom Cotton?). Various Trump family members and their spouses will be jockeying for position, though I would be absolutely shocked if one of them ended up the crown prince or princess. Vivek may factor somewhere in all of this. But it will be really interesting to see who wins that fight and how it progresses. Hopefully it will be bitter and messy, but I'm not counting on that.
Trump himself doesn't care about Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation wing think they can convince him to to do a lot of it, but if they do they won't be selling it to him as "Project 2025" they'll be manipulating him to do it for other reasons.
Not sure there is a far too late. This is what MAGA wants. They want to turn the US into Russia, not knowing that the average Russian's life is utter shit.
Define "political agenda."
They are not planning on ever having a Democrat president again.
I spent so much time watching Trump's stupid ass DJT stock that I didn't even think about the obvious beneficiaries if Trump won the election: Thiel and Musk. Could've bought cheap (anywhere from 15 to 40 cents) out of the money calls expiring today on Palantir and Tesla this past Monday. The Palantir Nov 50 calls expiring today are currently trading $8, i.e., 2000% increase since Monday, i.e., $10,000 on Monday is now worth $200,000. The Tesla Nov 300 calls expiring today (these could've been gotten all day long on Monday for 15 cents) are currently trading $18.50, a ~13,000% increase, i.e., $10,000 on Monday is now worth $1.3 million. DOH!! Still would've hating seeing Trump win but that sure would've taken a little bit of the sting out of it, at least on a personal level. I doubt I would've had the balls to put $10K on those positions even if I had thought about it but I probably would've put a grand or two on it. Certainly wouldn't have been life changing but it woulda been nice...
Of course they will keep Fuentes at a distance. However, many of the "adults" in the room of this administration, I suspect, will agree with Fuentes on a lot of issues.
Turns out Trump was the biggest leaker but he had to do it
TSLA is trading as if the US is about to start sending Teslas to Ukraine.
TSLA and DJT are probably highly correlated. TSLA's jump is probably because TSLA can't sell cars outside the US right now (as their cars are total shit compared to Chinese and European EVs) and they are hoping the tariffs will allow them to sell more cars in the US
