So, Jason won’t listen to the HHR podcast. Chi won’t participate because it won’t be Trumpy enough. The rest of the Cult did not seem interested in participating because they will have to discuss their own ideas without just posting links and reading the thoughts of others. Off to a great start.

Patel said he would shut down the bureau’s headquarters in Washington, and turn it into a museum, relocating the agency to outside the Beltway.”
The museum comment was stupid and that will be used against him in the hearings. So will his professed belief in the fictitious “Deep State”, so “deep” that he knows all about it. Maybe during the hearings he will have some proof of the existence of the Deep State, I look forward to that.
Also his vow to strip the FBI from intelligence capabilities, which of course would be great news for our geopolitical foes and cause for celebration in Russia, China, N Korea, Cuba, Venezuela etc. I suspect he will back off this idiocy because if he insists on it he won’t get confirmed.

One thing for certain the war will come to an abrupt end in 2025. Whatever conditions are worked out between the two warring countries the results will not be as good as was worked out back in 2022 for Ukraine. Russia will take more territory. NATO membership will not be approved. And, hundreds of thousands people will have died in vein (many unaccounted for).

Being a business man that factor was in his wheel house of interest. As for Reagan – you mimic the very “cultist” behavior which you mock others, in seeing him in a hero-worshiping way. He was a great president. But at the time of his reign Reagan was demeaned, derided, called a reckless cowboy, just like Trump is called Hitler.

Just 16 per cent would vote to re-elect him for a second term, according to an opinion poll of 1,200 Ukrainians published this week by the Social Monitoring Centre in Kyiv.

The podcast WILL NOT be an echo chamber, in fact, very little time will be dedicated to discuss the “deep state” or “retribution” or even pros and cons of each nominee. Trump is the President. He has the right to nominate who he wants. He will be judged on how he governs with those people in place. In fact, some topics for the podcast are:
1. A recap of the past election, Polling hits, polling misses and why the continued bias in polling exists
2. 2024 Election. A Trump mandate, A repudiation of Biden, or a bit of both
3. What went wrong with Harris as a candidate. What the polls tell us. And why are media types hell bent on saying she was so qualified.
4. 2025. What off years in the past have told us about the future, and what to expect
5. What will change in polling in 2026 and 2028? Will they learn, will they revert, or will it become obsolete
6.. Rivals or Enemies? Can Republicans and Democrats coexist? And who the hell are these Independents?
7. If people always say “These are the 2 best candidates to choose from” why do we get candidates people don’t want?”
8. Is there Trumpism to build on or is over when he leaves the stage?
None of those attack the beliefs of Jan, Chicon, OA or Tina. I, for one, want all of yall in the big tent. I don’t feel the need to agree with everything you say.

Jan. Quoting your article in full, rather than tidbits you favor:
“new elections have been suspended indefinitely under martial law that was introduced at the start of the Russian invasion in 2022. The vast majority of Ukrainians support the move, citing the dangers and logistical problems of staging a nationwide vote during wartime.
“I don’t believe Zelensky’s support is so low that he lacks a societal mandate on issues of war and peace,” said Illia Ponomarenko, a Ukrainian journalist and the author of I Will Show You How It Was: The Story of Wartime Kyiv. “The problem lies beyond that.”
Zelensky will not be President after the war. Which is a good thing. The country will need a reset, and can’t do it with him as President because they will be reminded of the war. That is not a conviction of his handling of the war, it happens after most wars.
But both of those quotes repudiate the sense that he suspended elections against the majority, which is false. and it also rejects some rhetoric seen on some sites that Ukrainians are ready to give up and lost faith in him. He has the support of the majority of Ukrainians, and will till this is over.

Looks like the gop-e will vote to confirm Patel.”
Tina also predicted Gaetz would be confirmed so let’s see.
I think he will have trouble getting 50 votes and I don’t see the same senators that tanked Gaetz supporting him either.
I don’t think the fight is worth it and Trump could pick other less controversial nominees with the same result.
On the other hand, watching McCabe and the “51 intel experts” melt down would be a lot of fun.
Patel is a smart guy, maybe he can make his case.

Yeah, don’t you hate that?
I am not sure he is that wise, he assigns too much value to consensus building and harmony, both highly overrated ideas.

It is interesting to see Bitter salivate over Reagan. There is plenty of reason to do so. Of course, Bitter would have hate Reagan if he were old enough in 1976.
Bitter hates “Republicans” who primary sitting office holders. Reagan did that. Reagan also ran against the establishment Republicans. He was the outsider. Bitter is the ultimate insider. He would have hated Reagan in 1976 and would’ve held the grudge forever; that’s how he rolls.

I was 8. You are a clown. Both can be true.
Why don’t you ever list the anti-establishment candidates who tossed away winnable Senate seats? My personal favorite is the one who had to run ads on the critical issue of her not being a witch.

“Who is the greatest President in your lifetime?”
Charlemagne…Oh, you probably mean the best U.S. president in my lifetime.
In that case it is George Washington.
In the last 70 years of my life it was Reagan, hands down.
He killed the Soviet Union.

Trump is an establishment New York City billionaire who spent most of his life as a liberal Democrat and Democrat contributor and is on record as saying Democrats have the best economic agenda, deficits don’t matter, and health care should be universal and funded by the government.
Chicon thinks he is an “outsider”.

Bitter, which Republican candidates who have entered a primary against a sitting Republican office holder have you ever supported? The list is likely zero. Then tell us again how much you LOVED Reagan, who primaried Ford.
Reagan in 1976 was everything you allege you hate. Grow a pair and admit it.

Wow, how intellectually dishonest is that? He primaried Ford, who wasn’t even elected President,
in 1976.
Reagan won in 1980.
This wins the “stupidest” attempt at gotcha of 2024.

Jason, Bitter universally is against Republicans who run against sitting office holders. Not my rule. His. I’ll let him explain, since it is his rule. Thanks, though.

Come to think of it, both Bitter and Jason would’ve called Reagan a deadender in 1976. Frauds, both of them.

The greatest President of my lifetime was JFK. He was able to show force with a naval blockade turning back weapons and military supplies. More importantly he demanded the removal of missiles and destruction of missile sites already built in cuba. This also prevented the expansion of Soviet and Cuban into latin ans south america.
this certainly prevented the threats by two dictators and highly potential escalation of military activities.
