I bet oil companies don't even want to increase drilling because they know that in four years everything will be shut down again as it should be.

Now if the Dems want to be stupid and take the gains and energy independence away from Americans again, they will not get elected. It is just as simple as that. People want more choices not less, the majority of Americans don't want EV cars.

Things don't work that fast. People will be paying much more attention to the 47 inflation and war being waged on them.

They will this time, Trump is not making the same mistakes he did last time, it took him months to fill his first cabinet and it was all so disorganized, that problem has been rectified.
And the deregulation and the tax cuts to small businesses and the no tax on tips, that helps ensure a foothold on 2028
Go for it.

Hopefully, this one knows his ass from a . . .
Can he possibly be worse than the previous ones?

Yeah, so much so that dozens of MAGA senators are backpeddling and saying, "nah, we're gonna have to review this list".
You got any of that that will top the tariffs, the loss of migrant labor, and the massive spending on the war on cities?
It's 47 that is declaring war on cities, not the opposite.

odd way to phrase the obviously required deportation of anyone who illegally entered our country.

Well, they will fall in line, or they can lose in the midterms primaries, it’s up to them, it’s that simple, Trump has a mandate and the people have spoken, so I’m not worried. They have the majority it’s there’s to lose, that’s all there is to it. I’m not worried.
We will be fine with sending all the ILLEGALS back and the massive spending, you can have a country of people don’t feel safe and secure or worries bout their sovereignty. We don’t want the rest of the nation to look like California and that state is so out of country, it might become a purple state and that would be fantastic. So good times ahead and the future looks bright for the nation.
As he should, buckle up.

So obviously necessary that it never happened before and the country got along fine.

Many are not up for primaries for four or six years and these people are used to not being able to ram things through with belligerence.
Prestige projects like deporting hard workers and breaking up families are expensive in dollars and politically.
Schiff won by almost 20 points in California. You like him, right?
We still live in a democracy. The people will render a verdict on your war on them.

But the point is, they will be and as everyone knows in politics it’s never fun to be in the minority, so it’s up to them.
And this is why less and less of these swamp rats get voted into office. California is now learning this.
Like Holman said, you don’t need to break up families, send them all back together, makes sense to me.
I don’t think I can say on this platform what I think of that……man.
So then as a constitutional republic, sit back and relax.
Well, from what the voters wanted as fix the border, the economy and end the war and they shall have it.

I can hear the collective bleating from the China aka "green" lobby already. So predictable.
TaiwanIsNotChina
You're right it's never fun to be in the minority and these statewide office holders can see the messes 47 is trying to create for them.
47 rams through things with belligerence. Biden/Harris did not.
You can't send citizens to other countries unless they are willing.
But still not in danger of ever losing a race in California.
I am sitting back. Until the national guard is on my highways we are good, and if they do show up, I am confident consequences will follow to the people that enabled it.
The low information voter will render his verdict after the fact as is often the case. Also foreign policy wasn't even in the top 10 issues.

I think you get your acronyms wrong. These are RINO senators, not MAGA. Keep in mind that the Trump team won the election, and not the neocon Republican uniparty.

Again, they can pass The President’s agenda or be in the minority, they won’t get a chance like this again, so I think they won’t squander the opportunity.
No, they rammed woke, stagnant economy, gender ideology and 10 million illegals down our throats and then lying that what we were seeing wasn’t happening.
Yes, you can, you absolutely and constitutionally can, any country can, check: Johnny Somali.
He doesn’t have to lose California, the state lost and continues to lose people. Luckily, people are waking up, purple state is inevitable.
There is no way on God’s green earth can they defy the Federal Government, let them try. Lol
Domestic issues were, particularly for the low information voter.
