Discussion of Concerns for Trump Presidency
thegeneral replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club
I mean his team of investigators reviewing will be doing that part, right? I don’t want to shet on government workers as they do have to deal with all kinds of weird procedures and sure some are totally stagnant some are dumb etc. but many are just doing the job that is a super grind. That was kind of one of my other points is they have a spot now, they are making a minimal salary, they are spending it, contributing, etc. There are worse alternatives. Also, I certainly don’t want to have to deal with the dude who is responsible for say zoning paperwork on easements. -

As for Elon’s government cleanup. Issues I would have are these people while doing a bunch of tedious crap that is cumbersome…the processes got there through years of dealing with tedious, cumbersome crap they needs to be done. A quick review and just dumping areas is classic sounds good on paper but unrealistic in real world. A review is welcome though and while Elon is a super ballbag weirdo dork he has proven skills being the face of some impressive projects. An ancillary problem of just eliminating thousands of jobs is where do these people go for work? Isn’t there something to be gained from paying someone a minimal salary to perform some duties? True it’s a loss as it’s a government job but they are working, they are spending their salaries, contributing back to society, etc. Is private sector just going to suck them all up? -

@jerryskids Not sure how to make this not be too ambiguous but the idea that there will be a “lack of guardrails” in this term and I fear Trump isn’t capable of good self control. For example the SC has been forced to rule on aspects of cases that he has had brought against him. In my non-lawyer reading they have ruled that Congress is the only body (and voters of course) that can hold the prez accountable. For Congress, I don’t trust either side to do this and I feel this gives the office too much power. This was always there I suppose but it wasn’t highlighted until Trump. -

So that part I think is very doable - transporting them somewhere. Busses would be fine, prolly not the best way and I do feel to avoid complete humanitarian shitshow that would also need quite a bit of discussion. I’m concerned about the rounding up portion. Who, how, what resources etc. -

Thanks, Jere. A good thread and I think could spawn off many other good threads. I will do my best to avoid being overly snarky -
FEMA aid workers skipped houses with Trump signs

I wouldn’t automatically dismiss this story I am just skeptical of that site. As I said if it’s true that is terrible. -

I would put them in the same category as “The Daily Kos” and read anything on there as editorial or be highly skeptical of their conclusions. In the case of this story if it were true, fire all those people and a review of how this occurred. I would want it to be taken very seriously. -

From your link this step: 3. Begin Largest Deportation Program in American History President Trump and Republicans will reverse the Democrats’ destructive Open Borders Policies that have allowed criminal gangs and Illegal Aliens from around the World to roam the United States without consequences. The Republican Party is committed to sending Illegal Aliens back home and removing those who have violated our Laws If we are kicking out people caught committing crimes, sure. If we are talking squads actively collecting people interspersed in our society I don’t see this being feasible. There is no details here so I don’t know what the plan is. -

Get me on record. Ok counselor Anyone can say anything and then it gets investigated. If these people did what is claimed, even if they claim they were joking, shitcan city for them. This would be a terrible offense. The DailyWire isn’t a place I would trust however. -

I suggest a thread of “things that concern you about a Biden presidency” and discuss those there. Hurry tho! -

Not much of this keeps me up at night. It’s “concerns for a Trump Presidency”. Thank you for the link though I will take a look. -

Attention asssholes…if you don’t know the answer you can not reply. Let’s start again. I find the idea of deporting tens of millions of people to be problematic. I have not heard a plan on how to accomplish this or how it will proceed. I could easily have missed it or they are working on it. If the latter is the case this will be an ongoing conversation. -

I suppose an outline would be appropriate at the least. This was a major campaign issue. These are the type of things this thread is for, right? -

The legitimate concern is how is this going to be accomplished. Now that we will try to do this specifics need to be laid out. Has that been done? -

If this is a real story every one associated with this should get shitcanned. It won’t take Trump to do that. Color me skeptical it is true. -

Democrat voters - Now the race is over

That is to discuss what would happen if Trump were to become Prez. Broker a deal is you get no more aide. If he didn’t want this he could have stopped asking at any point. -

He met with Trump to have him negotiate the end of the war because Biden wasn’t doing this? -

How would I know what they are thinking? I offered up my reasoning (to a different poster, original person hasn’t responded yet) to what was said. Secondarily, why would this be being a troll? -

I wasn’t the one making any claims and was asking a poster, not you, why they believed that the numbers were off. -
Trump should have the option to serve 2 more terms as president if he wants it.

Or less people voted this year and more voted for Trump.
