It's what I've been saying forever. On numerous issues Trump is actually a 19(pick the decade) Democrat.

The reason the Democrats are struggling is Trump stole their New Deal agenda, outflanking them to the Left on pro-worker economics and anti-war foreign policy, so they decided to fight him by defending men exposing themselves in girls locker rooms.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer. https://t.co/oeLq3Odegs

Scientists have not cured pancreatic patients with an mRNA vaccines as the tweeter incorrectly states. 6 out of 8 recipients in a phase 1 study showed an immune response that correlated with a delayed recurrence.
Researchers do not yet know if the vaccine caused the delay in cancer recurrence; investigating this question is a goal of an ongoing randomized phase 2 clinical trial. Phase 1 trials showing good results are a dime a dozen. Rarely are the results proven in a phase 3.

Seems pretty clear that the "Venezuelan gangsters" that the Trump administration deported with zero due process are not all actually gangsters and some of them are probably citizens or legal residents. And yet they are sitting in a prison in El Salvador right now. This is authoritarian, and if they can do this to these people they can do it to anyone.

To be clear: a trial judge who issued a press release against one of the parties in a case he oversees would be immediately removed from the case—and potentially from the bench altogether—for engaging in improper and prejudicial conduct unbecoming of a federal judge.

We are at an inflection point.

A lot of issues are going to end up at SCOTUS. The admin will win some and lose some.

Politically, the Admin is on the right side of nearly every one of these issues...though their execution of the policies is often flawed and/or provocative. Democrats are on the wrong side of nearly every one of these issues. Will they continue to dig in their heals to fight Trump at every turn for the sake of fighting Trump or will they smarten up and adjust so they win more elections in the future?

Remember when a leftist judge blocked Trump’s travel ban for terrorist countries that got overturned by SCOTUS?

Yeah it’s the same Obama judge who just told Trump he couldn’t stop USAID money laundering

Not sure about that. These things can turn very quickly.

For example, I'm sure "deport non-citizen criminals" is a very popular position. But "arrest people and send them away with no hearing or trial" is probably not popular at all. How you do it is very important. Democrats would be 100% right to fight that.

I agree but that goes to my point about execution of the policy vs the political issue itself.

Maybe it is the media I tend to consume but I don't see any D's saying that full sentence - "we must remove criminal aliens, but in doing so we must follow the law." (or anything to that effect). They only say "Trump is evil / a threat to democracy and we must fight his illegal actions." They utilize the wrong predicate to get to the result. This plays well to the Progressive Left - the activists on the street, their big Hollywood supporters, their Soros donors. But "Joe Six Pack" won't give a **** about the rights of criminal illegal aliens. That's why it is a stupid political move.

The one area I can think of where Trump F'd this up is the firing of federal employees. Those people are actual voters. He just turned some 500K people in to D voters. Let's say 200K were already D voters...now a higher percentage of them will vote at the mid-terms. The other 300K are independents and R's...and their voting patterns will trend D. These people are not just concentrated in Norther Virginia and DC. R's will lose some number of close house seats because of this.

Some are getting there, but it's not like they have any kind of unified position right now. That's fairly common in the aftermath of a big electoral loss. Parties need time to regroup.

Injunctions imposed by district court judges and how many of those were issued by judges appointed from opposing party:

Bush- 6 - 3
Obama- 12 - 7
Trump- 64 - 59
Biden- 14 - 14
Trump- 96 - 83

Rogue judges have become activists in robes.

This needs to change.

Fair point.

My opinion is the D party can out-flank Trump Republicans on virtually every issue by being a little sophisticated and shifting a touch away from the Progressives. Two examples:

Trans Athletes...See the Martina Navratilova proposal to make all "men" sports "open" competitions. Let Trans athletes compete there. This takes away the juicy components of the political issue which favors R's and allows D's to lean into the rights of Trans people.

Middle East...just say Israel has a fundamental right to exist and Palestinians must recognize that right. From there you have the moral authority to focus on Israel's execution of the war. Without it you are just the party that supports terrorists and hates Jews.

Pretty sure the filibuster is still in place no? I thought Kyrsten Synema basically killed the democrats attempt to end it a few years ago. (She got a lot of heat for it at the time too)

tequila4kapp said:

The core root of this problem is the elimination of the Senate filibuster on judicial nominations. That function served to ensure everyone on the bench got a reasonable amount of support from the minority party, which necessarily eliminates political activists / extremists. This isn't going to stop until that Senate rule is fixed...but neither side will want to fix it while they are in power, so we are stuck.

Maybe, but the reason this got eliminated was because the minority party at the time (Republicans) was abusing this rule to basically prevent ANY nominations from going through. That wasn't tenable either.
