  1. I think the best way for Trump to prove the Dems were liars by claiming he would seek retribution against his enemies is to not seek retribution against his enemies. Just make the Dems look stupid by running the country effectively.

    “Let’s do to them what they did to us” is classic retribution.

    Trump was not elected to exact retribution on his enemies, he was elected to govern. Retribution might be important to his most ardent supporters, who resent (rightfully so) the persecution he has suffered, but the vast majority of the electorate is counting on him to improve their economic situation.

    THAT is what he should concentrate on.

    Getting mired in endless tit for tat might be satisfying political gamesmanship, but if that is what the Trump administration is going to be about it will fail from the start.

    Bitter was on the money, what will define Trump’s term is competency, not retribution.

    When someone robs a bank, part of the sentence is as punishment (retribution) for a bad act. Part is also a deterrent against future bad acts by the perp and others.

    We’ve seen often in recent years what happens when bad acts are not punished.

    It is strange to me that people keep trying to conflate retribution with political opponents with criminal persecution of lawbreakers. I am unaware of MAGA people wanting people in jail because they are political opponents. But there are a good number of Trump dislikers, NeverTrumpers and those who long for the GOP of decades ago, keep wanting to make it sound as if persecuting lawbreakers who are also political opponents is retribution. It is law and order, justice, etc.

The same holds true for many of the departments that have been captured by a party intending to transform the country by any means possible – many illegal and/or unconstitutional.

    Retribution – Seeking to exact revenge against someone who committed a perceived wrong against another. There is NO CRIME involved when someone is seeking retribution, its just to seek revenge for a perceived slight.

    So, therefore, the following:

    If a Crime (capital C meaning its a defined term) has been committed, then that person should face justice.

    If a person did NOT commit a crime, then no Retribution (capital R meaning its a defined term) should be sought.

    Fire those who acted improperly. Fire those who used the system to cause harm against a political opponent.

  90. Almost every paradigm shift in history was evenly divided by those who actively promoted change, those who opposed, and those who were in the middle – wanting change, but one that didn’t ruffle too many feathers. Had the ones in the middle dominated, the outcome would have produced a less resilient, freedom-loving country than it is today.

    Yes, the ones at the Bucks County meeting are, for sure. Just like parents in VA and other states (Moms for Liberty Coalition) have done, being at risk of being jeered, or worst yet charged for made-up crimes to intimidate them from continuing their protest.

  103. One of the reasons Dems seem to always have the advantage in elections, the Congress and so on, is they are less inclined to meet in the middle, like republicans reliably default in doing. They stand in unison more and defy following rules of engagement or even the Constitution, with oftentimes little backlash. It’s not right, but it does allow them to gain more ground than is deserved.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson said transgender women cannot use women’s restrooms in the Capitol and House office buildings. This also applies to changing rooms and locker rooms, Johnson said.

    “All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” the statement said Wednesday.

    Johnson continued, “It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol.”

    I am still gloating after the November 5th results. My fellow Tar Heels once again did fine and dandy this cycle.
