No.

Like every President before him, he should work WITH Congress to move his initiatives forward, rather than expecting them to kiss the ring.

This gridlock is the predictable result of electing a man who has no understanding of the legislative process.


What fricking bullshite.

The dem party has NO leadership - Greem Crockett, AOC -= ALL OF THEM
and the Republicans are self-serving assholes who prefer to be in the minority.

Have you ever sat anywhere close to making high level decisions on the fly & new issues whacking you in the head every minute?

Have you ever built or changed a major organization?

Ever opened and ran successful companies?

Sounds like you have no experience in anything significant, you said enough when you advised us you “don’t like the man”

Your one of the village idiots that thinks Barry Hussein is more elegant, polished and sophisticated and speaks like a true leader blah blah blah.

While you get rammed up the a$$

Why does Trump uniformly pursue the first option, when the second is far more likely to be effective in the long run?

The same reason every POTUS for the past three decades has done the same:

Congress never does anything. Ever.

The fricking Dems talked impeachment before he even stepped foot in the office his first election, you silly fricks think any of those assholes will work with Trump? fricking clown assed alters should be summarily executed.


The elephants did the exact same thing with Obama. It was their entire platform. Rejecting Obama policies was their single party goal. Leader McConnell said as much. It's a known fact... Should we execute them, too? Obviously it would be ridiculous to execute all the elephants with a little ODS.

why do Dimocrats call him, and all his voters in a blanket application, a Nazi after trying to silence, imprison, bankrupt, and kill them?


Because he quoted Hitler at political rallies. Is this a joke?

Is there some other reasonable explanation for his seemingly-counterproductive approach to almost every issue?

I’m going to introduce a term to you. It is “filibuster”. Look it up.

I don't think these choices are made by Trump. My guess is that they are mostly a function of Stephen Miller getting picked on in high school and Miller's need to show how smart and badass he is. In general, the Miller strategy is to expand the power of the Executive. This expansion necessarily tests the limits of existing laws.

Take immigration. Like it or loathe it, our immigration system has established laws and procedures. If the President doesn't like them, he can change them through executive order or legislation. He can't simply ignore the laws.

Given the MILLIONS of illegal aliens that Biden let in, a major problem is the backlog of immigration cases currently pending because of a lack of immigration judges. To hear those millions of cases, the obvious solution is to GREATLY expand the number of immigration judges. These immigration judges are hired and fired by the executive branch.

Working within the system, if we hired 100 × more immigration judges we could deport 80 X more people (about 80% of cases result in deportation). So, how many more immigration judges do we have now under Miller....err, Trump? We have FEWER...from about 735 to about 600.

Immigration judges could be hired/deputized temporarily for salaries cheaper than the new ICE agents. We certainly have a surplus of lawyers in this country.Training would be easy and cheap. There's no excuse for us not to have 60,000 immigration judges by now. Immigration cases could go from YEARS to WEEKS.

Currently there are about 3.75 million cases pending. If Trump had hired/deputized 60,000 immigration judges on March 1, that docket could have been cleared by now, and we would have deported 3 million more people this year. The system would be set up to efficiently deport those being captured by ICE now.

Instead, because it was flashy and looked badass, the Miller Administration bypassed ordinary immigration procedures to send around 290 people to CECOT in El Salvador in March and April under a novel legal theory. 252 of those people were then sent to Venezuela in July. For this we paid approximately $6 million.

So, in the end, we paid El Salvador $6 million to house less than 40 men for the year. This doesn't include the legal fees incurred to argue the novel use of the Alien Enemies Act. If we had enough immigration judges, all of those men could have been deported through ordinary means by now.

I'm sure the over the top CECOT removals and the weird persecution of Abrego-Garcia (he could have been deported to Costa Rica long ago) is designed to scare people to self deport. Maybe that's working. Still there is no excuse not to take the boring, but certain, fix of hiring more immigration judges.
