Change to Get Behind

Greetings folks.  In 2025 the big news is corporations (and the federal government) will be bringing all their workers back to the office again.  I guess a five-year vacation is about enough.  With an actual president in charge, it seems like people will need to stop watching YouTube videos all day and start wearing pants again.  But not you Jeffrey Toobin.  That ship has sailed.

The new meme that’s out there coming from the Left is “Let’s forget the past and find common ground.”  Which translates to “We tried to destroy all of you and Trump but failed so how about we make believe we don’t hate you in exchange for you doing everything we tell you to do.”  It’s such a tempting offer.  It has almost everything, except us winning.  You see this from Democrat congressmen and senators.  They’ll tell you how nothing will be passed without their approval so the compromise position is Republicans let them dictate the acceptable legislation agenda.

I guess we’re about to find out if Johnson and Thune are any better than Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were back in Trump’s first term.  It’s a cinch they can’t be any worse.  Luckily, I think Trump has learned a thing or two in the interim and he won’t let these turkeys screw things up like their predecessors.  In fact, maybe Trump intends to administer the government more or less by executive order.  If I were in his shoes, I think I would declare a national emergency and pay for the deportation by commandeering private resources like airliners and rail transportation to funnel these people into Mexico and let the Mexicans figure out how to get rid of them.

And I’m only half joking about how to handle the deportations.  I think a national emergency will allow him to sideline every local democrat judge who will attempt to block his every move.  Because it truly is a national emergency and whatever he has to do to fix this is justified and in the long run cost effective.  I can’t even imagine how many billions of dollars are currently spent on the feeding, housing, medical care and judicial costs for these tens of millions of illegal aliens.

But this is just me talking.  Does Donald Trump have a plan that will accomplish the things he says he will do and does he have the nerve to follow through on those plans in the face of relentless opposition from the Democrats in congress, in the courts and all of the deep state personnel who will do everything imaginable to prevent this from happening?

I think Trump should stage the deportation process to allow himself as much cover as possible.  He should start by deporting all the serious criminals; the felons and the gang members.  Practicing on this soft target will deflect a lot of the outrage and at the same time give him a chance to find all of the pitfalls and roadblocks that exist.  Also, he can use them as the worst case for what he can expect from the home countries of the aliens.  One of the Central American countries (can’t remember if it’s Honduras or Guatemala) has already stated that they will retaliate for their citizens being deported by evicting American troops from their country.

Well, it doesn’t sound like much of a threat.  After we finish transferring their criminals back home, we can then pack up our troops and send them home.  Win, win.

I guess, like everyone else, I’m anxious to see what Trump looks like in action.  I don’t expect miracles but I’m curious to see just how hard he punishes his enemies in the federal executive agencies.  Kash Patel will be the test case.  He’s on record as saying he wants to shut down the FBI building and turn it into a museum.  I hope he doesn’t.  I’d prefer he just empty out the building, one fired FBI agent at a time until it’s down to single digit occupancy.  Now that’s change I can get behind.
