so do you think when it becomes too much for MAGA Mike to ignore swearing in Adelita Grijalva and a vote for the discharge of the Epstein Files comes to the floor, that Trump will then invade Venezuela as his Wag the Dog moment?

When you win all the swing states, the popular vote, and when over 50% of the votes go to you or the candidate who endorsed you (RFK), it’s a landslide.
Less than 50% is no landslide. It’s not even close to a landslide. Sorry, no mandate.

More on the landslide:
”After a landslide election victory in 2024, President Donald J. Trump is returning to the White House to build upon his previous successes and use his mandate to reject the extremist policies of the radical left while providing tangible quality of life improvements for the American people.
This includes putting a stop to endless wars, defending our nation’s borders, and unleashing the potential of the American economy, affording ALL Americans the opportunity to pursue THEIR version of the American dream.
In his first administration, President Trump passed record-setting tax cuts and regulation cuts, achieved energy independence, replaced NAFTA with the United-States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, invested $2 trillion to completely rebuild the Military, launched the Space Force, obliterated the ISIS Caliphate, achieved a major breakthrough for peace in the Middle East, passed the most significant Veterans Affairs reforms in half a century, confirmed over 250 federal judges, including 3 Supreme Court Justices, signed bipartisan Criminal Justice Reform, lowered drug prices, protected Medicare and Social Security, and secured our nation’s borders in his first four years in office. This was only the beginning.
Donald J. Trump defines the American success story. Throughout his life he has continually set the standards of business and entrepreneurial excellence, especially in real estate, sports, and entertainment. President Trump built on his success in private life when he entered into politics and public service.
He remarkably won the Presidency in his first ever run for any political office. He won a second time despite several assassination attempts and the unprecedented weaponization of law fare against him. Time after time President Trump has defied the odds because he fundamentally believes in the exceptionalism of the American spirit and wants to see our great country succeed.”13 -

So you're saying Obama's wins were super-duper landslides? That he had a huge mandate and the whole country should have gotten behind him and his policies?
Look, your guy won fair and square. Why can't that be enough? Why do you mendaciously try for more?

He’s grasping at straws. It very clearly was not a landslide. No mandate.

Pro Tip
Even if we pretend that Trump did win by a landslide. He didn’t. He still has to honor the laws like every other president.
I am open to being corrected if you can point to the law or statute that says a wide margin election win means you can sh!t on our country.

Obama won by a landslide but he was expected to win. Trump’s victory is more historic because of the amount of lawfare he endured and that he wasn’t expected to win the popular vote. But he won everything because the American people resoundingly chose him over Kamala.

No true conservative/Republican here wants Trump to be able to run roughshod to pursue his agenda. I certainly want restraints on the guy and think most do as well.

Who was NATIONALLY elected - in a historic landslide - to make America great again? Trump had a mandate to enact his incredible vision for America. Nobody else does. Thus, the other branches should be subordinate - congress and the courts should not hinder his agenda.
Ummm... you might want to read the US Constitution - Congress and the Supreme Court are not subordinate to the president's whims and wishes. Separate but equal.
The constitution is woke. Checks and balances are woke.

His net worth increased by $4 billion over the past few months. His unique brilliance allowed him to grow the Trump organization into one of the world’s most renowned real estate companies, and allowed the Apprentice to be as successful as it was.

“President Trump is universally known for his decades of remarkable business achievements, particularly at the helm of the world-renowned Trump Organization, with its worldwide portfolio of luxury real estate holdings. Having long established himself as a global celebrity, he then revolutionized television as the star of “The Apprentice.”
“As evidenced by the meteoric rise of Truth Social, President Trump's business success resonates in the American collective consciousness, his winning appeal to the electorate is based, in significant part, on his getting unmatched results across various and multiple industries.”04 -

Here are just some of the laser-focused scandals that Democrats have been obsessed about and were certain that they would lead to the downfall of President Trump but have fallen by the wayside over the years (fun to look back and chuckle at how silly the Dems look now):
Russian collusion in election
The Mueller investigation
Impeachment I
Impeachment II
Stormy Daniels scandal
Michael Cohen turning against him
Rudy G. turning on him
The Jan. 6 investigation
Jan. 6 scandal
Jeffrey Epstein files
Mar-a-Lago scandal
Stock market tanking earlier this year
There are many more but my memory going bad.
So far the score is Donald Trump 25 and Dems zero.
