He banned immigration from certain dangerous countries and that ban continues today. When you have a definite goal in Washington you can achieve it. If he had defined "swamp" in some sort of definite way, he could have started firing those individuals and changing the behavior of the people left over. But it was clear to anyone with eyes that by "swamp" he meant "people who criticize me or oppose my whims." And that's not definite enough to build a policy around unless you're a monarch who's going to be on the throne for a decade or two. It seems to me that Trump's remaining supporters have the same definition for "swamp" that he has. "People I don't like, people who say negative things about me or about people I like." It isn't an actionable definition. But it is unifying. They all get to imagine that they hate the same types of people even though they don't. Maybe someone can prove me wrong. Suppose we have two career DoJ officials in front of us. Which one is so deeply entrenched in "swamp life" that they need to be fired, and which can be retrained? How can you tell? What retraining do you offer the remaining one? (06-16-2023, 10:35 AM)Jaguarmeister Wrote:(06-14-2023, 02:20 PM)mikesez Wrote: Sounds right. Trump’s approval rating was about that low too. Sorry brother. Not enough people agree with you to give that side the support they need to implement their vision. In fact, many would construe what you just said as a racist dog whistle, so they wouldn't remain neutral but rather they would fight you out of righteous indignation. So trying to win the way you want to win is only going to dig the hole deeper. You need to judo flip this whole thing. We all do.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
