The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It is obvious that Trump is nucking futz and the 25th Amendment is null and void.

Consider some of the text in that twit.

The president called White "a violent Fighter and Warrior" and asked that he bring a number of high-profile UFC fighters with him on the job "even though some are not from our Country".

"We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left," Trump wrote, alongside photos of the six fighters.


So, Trump wants White, because he has violent impulses, and wants White to bring some muscle bound thugs to the press conferences to intimidate/beat down, reporters that ask the wrong questions?

That fits with Miller's MO of more thuggishness, more brutality, more authoritarianism.

Maybe Trump is doubling down on past policies. After all, he's a "JC", so he is always right, right? Additionally, I am starting to hear a narrative in the media that the Repubs lost, because Trump hasn't "gone far enough", which would fit with what Trump wants to hear, "Sir, do what you have been doing, but harder".
