You have not answered my question.

What do you think should be done for municipal and state inaugurations? Do you agree with the statement if should consist solely of being sworn in privately with no pomp and circumstance, its not televised and the public and honored guests are not invited?


I have answered your question, that I see no reason why local-level stuff should not be treated the same way I described how I think national-level stuff should be treated, the only difference is that local-level stuff would be reported locally.

The way I described national level stuff is that the new Congress is sworn in for the first day, that is it, no pomp no speeches, the only thing that happens is they are sworn in. This is broadcast the same way all things are broadcast because every day Congress is in session is already broadcast.The public can watch the same way every other day of Congress is watched.


So if you were elected mayor or governor your inauguration would consist solely of taking the oath in the Capitol with no invited guests and the public can't be there for it and that is what gets broadcast?

...is that what I said, because that is not what I said at all. I said the public could be there, like every other day. I am saying to treat the swearing in ceremony as you would every other day that Congress is in session.

It looks like Katie Hobbs was sworn in without disruption. I thought there was going to be at least minor disruptions, if not a full blown MAGA riot. But no, nothing happened.

But what if Trump doing that will cause people to tell him: "idiot, we know you cheat on your taxes or do frauds and scams all the time. You do this, we won't even try to protect you anymore from your opposition/opponents. We'll make sure you'll go to prison unless you do as we say and shut up, and retire from GOP politics quietly. We don't want your involvement anymore because we figure you're a loser dragging us down and we want to win."

Is Trump more afraid of legal troubles or losing influence/attention/status?

But I have been called not a Patriot, anti American, Fascist, Traitor, a Right Wing Nut Job, and everything else in a negative way. My fellow Republican Trump supporters, Ron DeSantis supporters and Ronald Reagan supporters too. I know many of us who support all 3. I consider Fascist and Nazis the same thing.

You are called not a patriot because the things you claim to support are more similar to authoritarian regimes like those of Communist Russia than anything like what the US is supposed to stand for. There is a reason people ask why you are so against Castro since you have supported basically every action he took when it comes to Trump and Republicans.

Yes, good Point NS Batman from their Perspective.

In Politics all Persons on and off NS, Post their Facts, according to their economic, political and social views. This is the way Politics works. This is the way a real debate works, Candidate A does not say to Candidate B, I am wrong and you are right My Bad. But we are not on NS to win an election, we are on NS to share and argue our views and opinions which are our Facts. In Politics everything works both ways, not just one way. Hardly ever especially on NS Person A says to Person B, sorry I am wrong and you are right, My Bad. They will never change their views to fit mine and ours, So they should not expect me to change my views to fit theirs, because they so called Posted a Link, that just happens to agree with their opinion, views and Facts. I GMS am not the exception to the rule. This rule applies to me, you and all Persons on and off NS, especially on Politics.

GMS: I call myself a Conservative Republican Nationalist, with a slight Libertarian Economic Streak, Republican Trump Supporter, American Patriot Citizen of the USA, Pro America First, Pro MAGA, with Pride and Honor, all of us do, I just put all the words together. We are what we say we are. This is the way it works.

But I also like to define myself issue by issues.

We Republicans support Democracy, Free Fair Elections and Voter IDs, no matter what Leftists of any kind say and think about us. These are Facts.

President Trump was a great and Awesome President of the USA.
I support all these policies of President Trump and the Republicans.
01 - The Trump Tax Cuts.
02 - The oil and gas leases Biden canceled.
03 - Fracking in Pennsylvania and other states that need it and want it.
04 - The US Canada, Keystone oil Pipeline.
05 - Arms sales to Ukraine, as President Trump did and I Posted it with Links.
06 - Arms sales to Taiwan, as President Trump did and I Posted it with Links.
07 - So Trump was tough on Russia and China, admitted by Leftist Democrat Fareed
Zakaria, all my links were dismissed like I expected.
08 - President Trump is right about Germany under Angela Merkle and the European Union, making them selves dependent on Russian oil and gas, he warned about it.
09 - Trump urged and threatened the EU nations of NATO to pay $ more for US Defense help and protection. Ronald Reagan did the same.
10 - All US Presidents have had economic, political, cultural, tourist and military relations with Israel including Trump.
11 - President Trump negotiated peace between certain Arab states and Israel. President Trump was working on peace between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
12 - President Trump is responsible for the USA eventually moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem. I honor Israel and the Jewish People with my nation of NS Jerusalem Israel.
13 - President Trump is popular in Israel.
14 - Most orthodox American Jews support President Trump and the Republicans. I have a non orthodox Jewish American Friend, Republican Trump supporter. I am a strong supporter of Israel and the Jewish People. I honor them with my nation of NS Jerusalem Israel.
15 - President Trump is a strong supporter of Prime Minister Bibi Benjamin Netanyahu and so am I.
16 - President Trump is the strongest American President, supporter of Israel and the Jewish People and so am I.
17 - President Trump even has Jewish Grand Children in his Family.

18 - I strongly agree with an article on Politico, Trump is not a Neo Con or a Paleo Con, Trump is a Pro America First President. Meaning President Trump will defend the interests of the USA, regardless of Neo Con or Paleo Con Ideology. I am an anti communist Neo Con and a Neo Con in general.

19 - I would never have fired John Bolton if I were President of the USA or any nation, his job is to advice the President, if I don't like his advice I ignore it, if he wants to quit, he quits. The only way I would fire John Bolton is if he disobeys my orders and tries to do the opposite. This is my style of governing as President of the USA, Cuba or any nation. I GMS would make an awesome right wing democratic President or leader of Cuba, the USA or any nation, lol, and I am not lolling.

20 - 17 - The Tittle 42 on immigration.
21 - The awesome Trump remain in Mexico Policy, while your asylum claim is being decided.
22 - Anti health care benefits $ for illegal migrants.
23 - Anti driver licenses for illegal migrants.
24 - No open Borders illegal immigration policy.

25 - The Trump sanctions on the eternal Cuban communist socialist dictatorship, as they say they are the continuity of the eternal revolution. This statement says it all and proves it all.

26 - Trumps anti Venezuela and Maduro Policies. Maduro once said, when are they the bourgeoisie opposition going to learn the revolution is here to stay. This statement says it all and proves it all. While he and the Cuban communist socialist upper class of Cuba and Venezuela live like rich capitalist $, the bourgeoisie.

27 - Anti CRT Critical Race Theory in all schools and colleges of any kind. It teaches that America and its government are racist by nature and intent. I once posted a link of Parents complaining about it at a school board and many of you guys dismissed it all stating it is based on my opinions not facts, and their opinions just happen to be Facts, on all issues all the time, what a coincidence? Proving MY Point.

28 - You all know my views and our views, on Trump, the elections and the Jan 6 Riot that turned violent and I have condemned it many times. As American citizens of the USA there is nothing wrong with them. It is called Freedom of Speech and Democracy, the right to think differently.

29 - The Leftist Democrats Jan 6 Committee is an anti Republicans, anti Trump Political Kangaroo Court.

30 - I strongly support Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary, I honor him and the Hungarian People who recently reelected him through his Party again by a landslide. I love Prime Minister Victor Orbán of Hungary, he is a masterful Politician.

I strongly support:
31 - Prime Minister Maggie Thatcher of Great Britain, the Iron Lady and Duchess of Britain. I honor them with my nation of NS Great Britain.

32 - Sir Winston Churchill of Britain. I honor them with my nation of NS Great Britain.

33 - President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, I honor them with my nation of NS Brasilia Brazil.

34 - Right Wing Leader Keiko Fujimori of Peru. I have the nation of Lima City Peru and I honor Keiko Fujimori.

35 - Republican President Trump.
36 - Republican President Ronald Reagan.

and their is nothing wrong with it, it is called Freedom of Speech and Democracy. Many Leftist as I call them on and off NS consider Trump, Viktor Orbán, Jair Bolsonaro, Maggie Thatcher, Keiko Fujimori and the others authoritarian, Fascist and Nazis, which to me are the same thing. We Republican Trump supporters, Ron DeSantis supporters and Ronald Reagan supporters are not Fascist Nazis, this is a Fact.

Recently I had a back and forth, non actionable argument on both sides with a certain leftist, who kept insisting that we Republicans are Fascist Nazis, they learned these anti Republican, anti Trump, Democrat Talking Points, from Biden's speeches calling us semi Fascist, many Leftist Democrat Politicians, VIPs and in the Leftist Media.

They can claim anything they want about me and us, but we are what we say we are, just ask me and ask us. No one decides for me and us what we are. It works both ways.

That’s exactly the problem. Radical Leftist Democrats want a robust and affordable education system so everyone has the option of learning subversive topics like CRT and virology.

I find it interesting that at least 95 % of the Posts on the US Politics threads are usually from Leftist, Liberal Democrat, Progressives, Real Leftists as Therm calls them, and Perhaps a few anti Trump Republicans.

I find it interesting that I GMS usually account for at least 95 % of the Pro Trump, Pro Ron DeSantis and Pro Ronald Reagan Posts, on these American Politics threads. Many of them for over 4 and a half years and counting, don't want to post, and tell me don't post, don't bother them, because no matter what we say, post and link too, most of them dismiss it anyway. Proving My Point. These are Facts, I am not Lying. But they Praise me for defending our Facts. A few of them have invited me to join their right wing regions on NS with one of my many main nations and I have. I have at least 18 right wing followers on Twitter, lol.

Your reasons being that learning critical thinking skills makes it harder for the GOP to indoctrinate people and the idea of people learning a version of American history that isn’t the GOP approved version with all the “obejctionable” bits (so anything that presents America in any sort of negative light) removed to make them more suitable for fragile conservative consumption without risking hurting their feelings is the worst thing ever.

The issue is that the right wing's definition of "CRT" is so wide that they consider MLK Jr's "I Have a Dream." speech to be "CRT".

I dont think I mentioned progressive social values once while speaking about the Twitter files.

It may shock you to hear this, but you can care about unfair corporate exploitation/unconscionable business practices - AND retain social conservative moral values. You dont have to be a liberal to understand that corporate greed is wrong.
