two reactions to the orange mans landslide;
The media would like you to believe that Vladamir Putin is cheering Donald Trump’s victory, but the Kremlin has reiterated that America remains an unfriendly nation.
In fact, Putin did not directly congratulate Trump on his victory, but the Kremlin did comment that his win could be “useful.” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said hinted that he believes Trump’s claim that he could end the war in 24 hours are unattainable. “We have repeatedly said that the United States can help end the conflict in Ukraine. This, of course, cannot be done overnight,” Peskov said. He added that he is not aware of any plans by Russian President Vladimir Putin to congratulate President-elect Trump.
Oddly enough, Zelensky DID congratulate Trump. “Congratulations to Donald Trump on his impressive election victory!” he posted on X. “I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine,” Zelensky wrote. “I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer.”
Zelensky went a step further and said he hopes to congratulate Trump in person, wishing to keep the discussion open. It seems as if Russia is simply tired of America’s involvement in this war. They have been lied to by countless politicians (see: Minsk Agreement) and do not trust the US. Zelensky, on the other hand, must appeal to Donald Trump as Ukraine is dependent on NATO which is dependent on US funding.
Now, we wait to see the steps Trump takes to tackle this monstrosity. The feedback from the Ukrainian and Russian leaders is not quite what most expected........https://www.theburningplatform.com/2024/11/07/zelensky-and-putin-react-to-trump-victory/
mr peters frequently has good ideas and here's another;
Hopefully, incoming President Trump will not try to deport the millions of illegal aliens – they are not “migrants” – the outgoing Biden-Harris regime allowed to flood into the country because (a) it’s probably not doable without imposing a regime of checkpoints and “papers, please” on Americans and (b) because it is likely to provide catcall ammunition to the Communists – there are no “liberals” anymore – and (c) most of all because it isn’t necessary.
Just defund them.
Trump could demand – and the new Republican Congress could pass – a law making it a federal crime for any state, county or city government official to disburse any money collected in taxes imposed on American citizens to illegal aliens. Or benefits paid for by American taxpayers.
No more “free” hotel rooms and debit cards loaded up with American taxpayers’ money. No more “access” to things we’re forced to pay for.
It’s simple – and more important, it’s right.
People who are not citizens do not have a right to live at the expense of citizens. It is effronterous and it is probably one of the chief reasons why Trump won the election. American citizens are sick of paying taxes – as the law requires them to do – for the benefit of people who are not required to obey the law.
It would also work.
There would be much less incentive to come to America illegally. Abiding by the law – and becoming a citizen – would have value again.
And it would not require that American be turned into a “papers, please” police state.........more......
scott jennings is a newer talking head who also makes sense;
One of the added bonuses of the 2024 election is that the never-Trump grifter class is basically out of work now.
The Lincoln Project, the Bulwark, Bill Kristol, all of them may have to go out and finally get real jobs. These guys took millions upon millions of dollars from people based solely on their hatred of Trump and what did they get for it? Nothing.
On CNN, Scott Jennings, the lone conservative on the network, took these guys out after Trump was declared the winner.
Transcript via Real Clear Politics:
KASIE HUNT, CNN: This Never-Trump movement inside the Republican Party, honestly, not borne out here today.
SCOTT JENNINGS, CNN: Bang-up job, guys. I mean — this “Never-Trump” whole complex that grew over the last several years, nothing has ever failed as hard in politics as this. The Lincoln Project, all these people that bilked millions upon millions upon millions of dollars from Democratic donors, and all the eggs that was put in this basket. The split was amazing. Trump got like 94 percent of Republicans. I don’t think they accomplished anything, except probably build a bunch of beach houses. That’s about what they did..........more.......
the gnashing of teeth can be heard in the remotest of corners;
Democrat strategist Julie Roginsky appeared on CNN this morning and delivered some tough but fair comments to members of her party.
According to her, the problem was not Joe Biden or even Kamala Harris, but the party itself which has gone so far left that average Americans don’t even understand their language anymore.
If you watch the video below, you may agree with some of the things that Roginsky says about the Democrats.
The New York Post has details:
Dem strategist delivers scorching reality check to her own side after Harris’ loss: ‘Not party of common sense’
Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky issued “some hard truths” about Donald Trump’s historic election win during a CNN segment Thursday, claiming her own side is “not the party of common sense” and can’t talk to normal people.
“I’m going to speak some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party. This is not Joe Biden’s fault. It’s not Kamala Harris’ fault. It’s not Barack Obama’s fault — it is the fault of the Democratic Party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters,” she said.
“We are not the party of common sense, which is the message that voters sent to us.”........more........
