Why didn't the helicopter turn away from plane?

In reality, the top gun takes care of business. In surreality, is where America has been hijacked to by liberal progressive politics.

@sree251 "Liberal progressive politics" while the Heritage Foundation implements Project 2025 with no resistance.

I wish America had been hijacked by liberal progressive politics.

@LeopoldBloom
You had your way before we brought things back to where we want. You will have to sit it out until you can get things going woke again.

@sree251 The US was never liberal or progressive except maybe in the 1930s for a while. The Progressive era was a response to the gross inequities of the Robber Baron era. It's not like the 30s were that progressive either as Jim Crow was in full force.

A country the size of the US is like an ocean liner - you can't turn it on a dime. If you think Trump and the Republicans winning by a hair means the country is suddenly on a different track, you're delusional.

I am not a history buff nor do I take the perspective of anthropologists seriously.


Right now, Trump has been chosen by majority of Americans to take over the control of the US Government. The ship is definitely taking a different tack since January 20, 2025 when the old crew was relieved of their duties and booted overboard along with stowaways. Anything we do now is better than taking in water and sinking.

@sree251 I'm not an anthropologist.

Trump wasn't chosen by a majority of Americans. He wasn't even chosen by a majority of voters. And I agree, the country is on a different track now, but the man in charge - Elon Musk - doesn't have the slightest idea of what the government does or how it works. He also has a clear conflict of interest, with billions of dollars in contracts with the federal government that his company holds, not to mention ongoing investigations.

If Biden had handed the government over to George Soros, you would have been hysterical.

@LeopoldBloom
Good. Deal with the present and don't cite history and only use arguments about situations we can both verify in real time. This avoids taking positions generated by hate incited by bigotry.


You don't know that for a fact. You are making an unverifiable claim. Let's leave it at that.


Was Trump appointed to the office of US President in accordance with the Constitution?


We are all in charge of the country even though practically none of us have the slightest idea of what the government does or how it works, thanks to the the way we have collectively abused and subverted the system since its creation in 1776.


If there is a conflict of interest, then the DOJ needs to step in. If it doesn't, then we are again back to where we were when the previous Administration governed in a manner that got it booted out.


It was worse. You people handed the government to Biden.

@sree251 Trump got 77,301,997 votes, or 49.8% of voters. Harris got 75,017,626 votes, or 48.33%. The rest went to third-party candidates. 49.8% is less than 50%. That's not my opinion, that's mathematics.

It's even worse when you look at total eligible voters. There were 244,666.890 Americans eligible to vote in 2024. Trump got 31.59% of those, not even close to a majority. It's not even one-third.

This has nothing to do with how the president is elected under the Constitution. Based on that, Trump won fair and square. I'm not saying he didn't win; I'm countering your ridiculous claim that we can't know if he got a majority or not.

I agree that the DOJ needs to step in and indict Musk for the various felonies he and his team have committed. However, that's not going to happen under Trump, unless Trump gets tired of Musk and wants to get rid of him. The corruption is in plain sight and the feckless Republicans in Congress are just rolling over.

Trump is a thousand times worse than Biden. He is on track to do permanent damage to the US, both internally and internationally.

@LeopoldBloom
Majority means more than half of a group. What do you consider the group to be? Generally, the vote count is all that matters in an election regardless of the number of eligible voters. Even if the vote counted were 3 for Trump and 2 for Harris, Trump wins. Do you object to that?


Like I said, it's the vote count that matters. We may have 244,666,890 eligible voters but how many meet the criteria of a democracy as defined by the framers of the Constitution? They did not allow every Tom, Dick, especially Mary to vote. Thanks to DEI, even the kitchen sink has a place at the table.


I stand by my claim that we can't know if he got the majority as defined by you. That number is not static and changes from moment to moment.


The DOJ will be defending Musk and fighting cases filed against him with the full force of the US Government.


Your opinion is noted.
