If neither dominant party represents you, consider the Libertarian Party … a protest?

Donald J Trump, Disruptor

Mr. Trump threatens one half of the electorate. And yet, as an abrasive, disruptive outsider he has rallied the other half of the electorate to his message.

Donald J Trump (DJT), love him or hate him, is a true disruptor. He and the movement he tapped into have changed the national discussion. In early 2016
I thought of him as a toxic reality show personality … a huckster. Now, in mid-2023, I wonder if he will have another impact on a splintered nation.

Will his idictment affect the 2024 election and the run up to it?

July 10, 2023

It seems DJT is the presumptive GOP candidate. Who else (on the right) has the sway of DJT?  Does he already have a VP ticket mate in mind?

Trump v Binden?  I sincerely hope NOT. A repeat of that kind sparks of further division.

Why can't we move from unseemly politics to real governance that truly benefits We The People?

Agenda 47

Yahoo! News (7/14/23) identifies President Trump's Agenda 47 as: (items reordered)

1.   an end to birthright citizenship,
2.   pardoning the Jan. 6 terrorists,
3.   making "peace" with Vladimir Putin by
4.   withdrawing support for the Ukrainian people and their freedom struggle,
5.   further criminalizing transgender people and the LGBTQI community more broadly,
6.   expanding the thought crime and other censorship laws to end the teaching of "critical race theory" and to defeat "Woke" and "Black Lives Matter",
7.   attacking academic freedom and replacing it with "patriot education",
8.   implementing a national stop and frisk law,
9.   putting homeless people in camps or some other designated area under threat of arrest,
10.   building high tech "freedom cities",
11.   executing drug dealers,
12.   ending the professional civil service and replacing it with right-wing political appointees and other such partisan agents,
13.   gutting the Department of Justice and other parts of the government that opposed Trump's attacks on democracy and the rule of law, and
14.   starting a trade war with China.

My quick assessment:

Only 28% of President Trump's agenda should be acted upon by the federal gov't, 4 of 14.

Federal Duty	Local and Sovereign State	Shenanigans	Absolutely NO!
1 thru 4	5 thru 11	12 and 13	14

 

Will either dominant party work within The Constitution of the United States?

 

Agenda 47 Federal Duties Congress should address items 1 thru 4 above: End jus soli (by soil) citizenship Pardon January 6 protestors – let's see the surveillance video. It will show protest, NOT insurrection. Re–establish diplomacy with Vladimir Putin … and every nation's leader Ukraine's territorial integrity is NOT a matter for the US, nor NATO. President Trump (, Biden, Harris, …) veto all legislation that is NOT veto-proof – that lacks a two-thirds affirmative vote. Congress must start to lead. 50%-plus-1 decisions and large (political) pendulum swings create deep division. Local and Sovereign State Duties Items 5 thru 11 (above) identify social concerns that are reserved for local communities and the Sovereign States – NO federal "action". Sad Political Shenanigans Political appointments/patronage will always be seen as political until we shrink the federal gov't … Drain the Swamp! Absolutely NO! A trade war with China is especially insane.

Bidenomics NO more Legal Plunder. Keynesian theory of Gov't Spending has created massive federal debt and inflation. Stop applying this destructive fallacy.

Life, Liberty!, Property
