Trump and Allies Forge Plans to Increase Presidential Power in 2025

https://news.yahoo.com/trump-allies-forge-plans-increase-114639311.html

Donald Trump and his allies are planning a sweeping expansion of presidential power over the machinery of government if voters return him to the White House in 2025, reshaping the structure of the executive branch to concentrate far greater authority directly in his hands.

He's not even hiding it anymore.

Biden also executed a full withdrawal from Afghanistan -- ending the longest war in US history.  Another fact that Trumptards like to ignore.

Well, the Republicans in Congress didn't ignore it. They bitched and complained about it, remember? "How dare he end the war so abruptly!"

More Fun With MAGA Trolls

Another recent exchange on YouTube:



Before I comment on the above screenshot, I just wanna say that I am not a fan of Joe Biden. I just hate Republicans more. I didn't vote for Joe Biden -- I voted against Donald Trump.

But I'm not a tribal goon like many people are these days and therefore, I'm going to tell the truth. Biden has actually accomplished all of those things. Would I like them to be better? Sure. Would I like Biden to be more to the left, instead of sucking his Big Money donors' cocks? Of course. But it is what it is... and the guy has actually gotten a few important accomplishments under his belt.

What I don't understand is why the Democrats are so weak when it comes to fighting back, and shoving those very real and meaningful accomplishments up the asses of MAGA Republicans. There are a few notable exceptions, of course. For example, Gavin Newsom recently gave a brilliant smackdown to Sean Hannity on Fox TV. Jamal Bowman damned near came to blows with a MAGA jackass outside the Capitol building a few weeks ago. And just a couple of days ago, gorgeous Jasmine Crockett effectively tore Lauren Boebert a new asshole on the House floor.

But they need to do better. MAGA-tards are bullies... and the best way to handle a bully is to break his fucking nose.

This is a very interesting observation, since the usual assumption is older = more conservative.

As I said, it's all because of the Vietnam war. Early Boomers were the first people who were drafted and sent to Vietnam. They were essentially given no choice. That war was very unpopular and as we learned later, it was in fact an illegal war, started on the basis of a fabricated lie (the so-called "Gulf of Tonkin incident"). You can see how this would cause the older Boomers to harbor a strong resentment toward the Establishment... a resentment that many of them still carry to this day.

Late Boomers were all too young to be directly involved in Vietnam, so they were largely spared from having to deal with any of that horror. In my own case, the war ended when I was 15 years old... too young for military service. Any Boomer born after 1956 was spared from having to worry about Vietnam. Their anti-establishment sentiments were nowhere near as rabid as the prevailing attitude of Early Boomers.

I agree it's all rather unusual, but Vietnam was a real clusterfuck back in the 60's and it effectively chopped my generation in half. Something like 60,000 Early Boomers came back from 'Nam in body bags. The rest of us went to Disneyland, danced in discos, leaned further toward the right and voted for Reagan in 1980.

Not all of us, of course. I'm a Late Boomer and I've been a far-left liberal (progressive) for my entire life. I'm so liberal that I scare other liberals.

If you read a bit about the Boomer generation, you'll find that many sociologists bust my generation in half... Early Boomers and Late Boomers. Interestingly, the older they are, the more likely they are to be liberals. Early Boomers were the first people drafted and sent into Vietnam. They are the counter-culture, naked hippies at Woodstock generation and apparently, most of them remained left-ish as they grew older.

It's the younger Boomers (my demographic) who actually tend to be more conservative than our older peers. Younger Boomers were the so-called "Yuppies" in the 80's, for example. Many of them embraced Reagan at the time and later became neo-cons. I can remember many a political argument back in the 80's, between myself and other Late Boomers. Some of those arguments were very heated. Some became fist fights.

This is a very interesting observation, since the usual assumption is older = more conservative. It makes sense that direct exposure to the evils of the prevailing ideology would make you more permanently anti-establishment, though.
