    I can't open the podcast... interested to hear.

    I will say this:

    If Trump isn't at least AN answer (maybe not THE answer) then we are all living in a world where there is NO answer.

    Baby steps. Awakening masses.

    As far as I can tell, Trump is AN answer toward these ends.

    I'm not ready to take the black pill just yet. I for one will reserve judgment until the deeds of the new administration bear fruit.

    All these cabinet picks should be questioned, when being confirmed, if any of their views have changed or evolved in light of everything "commonly" known now regarding the COVID vaccines. If they all have the same answers, that would be damning.

    Ignorance isn't necessarily a condemning offense. Pushing a knowingly harmful narrative is.

    Agreed, Trump was the answer to some of the problems this election presented, but not THE answer to all of them, and there are more than enough to keep everyone distracted.

    The amount of power RFK Jr is allowed to wield will be definitive.
    Though it's concerning that they are both pro-Israel, and that may be what unites them more than any other singler factor.

    With the extent to which the MSM seems to be retreating already, censorship may not be as much of a problem for a while at least, though no doubt the puppet masters are working on a new ploy.
    I think that if they are really serious about taking Trump out, they have plenty of advanced techniques they can use to accomplish that.
    He will be tredding an even finer line now.

    His other appointees who will be overseeing medical reforms have spoken out against some of the corruption...
    See: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/d...heiwat-weldon/
    But I wonder if we will see any mention from them about the "gene editing" and VAXX transhumanist agenda, and what's really in the chemtrails.
    They may still be too unaware and/or cautious for that.

    I don't think Trump or anyone individual will ever be "the answer." Expecting Trump to be some sort of saviour will only disappoint. Trump's role (in my mind) is to nudge the USA back on track. I consider myself a fairly strong Trump supporter and yet I disagree with him vehemently on some important topics. Trump will stop the hemorrhaging, reorganize the Government as much as possible in four years and realign the political parties. That should be considered a success. I have no idea how long the archaic way our world governs will last. The idea of Presidents, Prime Ministers and Supreme Leaders is ridiculous and eventually destined for the 'global' trash bin. One person will never be "the answer."

    I lost my trust in Trump with pushing Warp speed and i feel disgust everytime he praises himself for it.

    That said i realize now more then ever before that the world war is real and has many layers & players with all kinds and even oppposing interests of different factions,and the game is full of deceit ,betrayel corruption and blackmail.A minefield where bluff ,smearcampaigns & intimidation scare the **** out of anyone in the know to speak up and expose the criminals .

    I mean if in this war the 'enemy' is not supposed to see the strategy,how are we the people then supposed to read the signs??
    Its just too early for conclusions and i trust that in the right moment time will tell...

    -ps Q 's narative would make more sense and Kennedy's role could be the real answer

    I will not read because there is no answer and the issue is pointless . Trump is, was, and still is the only earthly human answer this position and those TWO choices. The Biden Harris embarrassingly bad fraudulent clown show act or Trump ,a non professional politician being better than all of them at their own corrupt game.
    And if I have to see these nauseating faces of criminals like McConnell, Schiff and Schumer, career con men over and over, at least I have Trump at the helm.

    I am most happy not to have to see that cackling fool anymore, destroying once sane minds with disbelief or to be spending brain energy seeing ridiculous images of Joe Biden, not looking anything like who he was, or Hunter Biden roaming free as they scammed the American people of their tax money courtesy the Zelensky Ukraine lib dem atm. HELLO??

    I am also happy to feel the air in this country lighten for sane people, even communication has become less guarded, I don't feel the Stasi will be at my door post my conversations AND People are celebrating all over the world.

    I was recently in Mexico and had great conversations with several cab drivers who love Trump. They get it and have similar views in their own country against bad Mexicans coming from Mexico city and stealing work from hard working families in other areas. Criminals thru thuggery that take over.

    And sorry to say, the people who I find who hate Trump the most are self hating themselves and I will hold back from describing them.

    To see, know and have recently verified in front of our own eyes that the 2020 election was STOLEN is now so evident , even to idiots. I am slowly coming down off the assault to my mind, assault to common sense and reason. To hear people actually considering Communism? Really? See the Killing Fields and check back with me

    And I hope I never have to see the 10,000 posts of "Trump is not the answer "psyop again. Lets give this man some support , understanding and gratitude that he is even willing to do this miserable job . They will try to trip him up because they are anti American ! and I do not know of any other human that could withstand this onslaught of slander and propaganda than Trump .

    Trump IS the only answer based on the game we are deployed in.

    Any one with more than a brain cell or two firing knows he is the man for the job, considering the choice we were facing.

    He may not be able to fix every thing but he has already caused a few drastically needed corrections and he hasn't even been sworn in to office yet.

    He does have a full plate and I feel the people who voted for and support him need to stay involved and keep their voices loud and clear.

    This is a time of great uncertainty and clear and present danger, but we are on a better path forward than if Kamala would of won. At least there is some hope, there would be no hope in my opinion if Kamala would of won.

    I still say we should all prepare the best we can for a more likely than not disaster. The anti-human demonic faction of psychopaths will not stop.

    If you take the time to watch the videos I've posted which go into detail about the appointees Trump has made and what their record is on various important issues, I think it will be clear that once again, he's not surrounding himself with the best people, and some of his choices are quite alarming.
    That is not only a clear indication of what we can expect, but of where his head is really at.
    Campaign promises are one thing, but what is actually delivered is another.
    And what can actually be delivered under the present circumstances with so much division and Deep State shenanigans is limited
    If truth seekers naively trust that Trump and his appointees are going to do what they expect based on promises made, they are bound to be disappointed.
    I voted for Trump--he was clearly the lesser of two evils, but do I trust him to do the right or the best thing all the time?
    Absolutely not.

    Since the title of this thread may be too provocative, perhaps these posts should be moved to the thread entitled: Trump's Cabinet and Key Government Job Picks

    Unfortunately it's not only up to him. Our corrupted, rotten government still has power over the cabinet with whom Trump can and can't appoint. Cleaning out the government is a process, not an instant makeover.

    If I have one criticism about these cabinet picks, it's not so much who Trump is picking, but the lackluster push back against the media meltdown and against some of the spineless RINOs who are sabotaging the agenda. Who cares what the media says? They're irrelevant. And the RINOs need a strict admonishment and message delivered to them in no uncertain terms. That is, support the agenda the American people voted for or you will be pushed out and fired and run out of town on a rail as soon as the next election.

    Personally, I wish team Trump would have pushed a little harder for Matt Gaetz. Crying and whining and so-called scandals be damned.

Its not like there can be buyers remorse. THERE WAS NO OTHER CHOICE AND IF ANY ONE THINKS THERE WAS, THEY DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AT STAKE.

    And Yes, maybe the title of the post is a little incendiary for my post election recovery. But you did get me writing again. lol

    Yes, the whole system has become extremely corrupted.
    Which is why putting all one's hope into one man is very short-sighted and bound to fail.
    Even with the best of intentions, there is only so much Trump can do, and things move very slowly in the muddy waters of the Swamp.
    If he does close the border and send back the illegals, that would be great, but Whitney Webb, C.A. Fitts and other very astute whistleblowers are confident that the Deep State is going to try and force through CBDC, and I think it's unlikely that Trump could stop that.
    And what a perfect excuse that the chaos tracking those people down would create for making CBDC mandatory.

    If you take the time to watch the videos I've posted which go into detail about the appointees Trump has made and what their record is on various important issues, I think it will be clear that once again, he's not surrounding himself with the best people, and some of his choices are quite alarming.
    Unfortunately it's not only up to him. Our corrupted, rotten government still has power over the cabinet with whom Trump can and can't appoint. Cleaning out the government is a process, not an instant makeover.

    If I have one criticism about these cabinet picks, it's not so much who Trump is picking, but the lackluster push back against the media meltdown and against some of the spineless RINOs who are sabotaging the agenda. Who cares what the media says? They're irrelevant. And the RINOs need a strict admonishment and message delivered to them in no uncertain terms. That is, support the agenda the American people voted for or you will be pushed out and fired and run out of town on a rail as soon as the next election.

    Personally, I wish team Trump would have pushed a little harder for Matt Gaetz. Crying and whining and so-called scandals be damned.

    RGray's post really nailed it IMO...it has now become difficult to envision what "the answer" could even be.

    In the meantime, Trump will sort some things out and correct some problems. Hey, I would easily take him for our leader considering what we are currently dealing with.

    I am happy that Don won again, though I hope he has learned in the interim. Like how to avoid previous mistakes, and how to read people better.

    This thread’ title bugs me too tho. shoutout Norman. Clickbait, and invoking dumbass political criticisms, and generally being a haters’ thread.

    Nice to read the countering stance from RGray and more.

    Peace is real. It is a thing. Peace.

    Yes...I learned (uhm,...a few years back) while attending important meetings in my old work place - staying silent and paying strong attention to what everyone else was saying throughout the meeting was often more advantageous than putting my opinion into the mix. Sometimes when you are busy trying to have your points heard, you miss key information from the other participants.

    So many people these days are trying to wave their flags more than the other flag wavers.

    So many people are not hearing what everyone else is saying - many people could learn a lot if they also took a few steps back.

    I don't think Trump or anyone individual will ever be "the answer." Expecting Trump to be some sort of saviour will only disappoint. Trump's role (in my mind) is to nudge the USA back on track. I consider myself a fairly strong Trump supporter and yet I disagree with him vehemently on some important topics. Trump will stop the hemorrhaging, reorganize the Government as much as possible in four years and realign the political parties. That should be considered a success. I have no idea how long the archaic way our world governs will last. The idea of Presidents, Prime Ministers and Supreme Leaders is ridiculous and eventually destined for the 'global' trash bin. One person will never be "the answer."

    Quite right. WE are the answer to it all. It's always been so. It's just a matter of (the rest of us anyway) having the patience to wait till the rest of Humanity wakes up to it. So far........especially here in the UK - there is alarming docility while Starmer trys to grind us under his heel.
