     They could still 25th Amendment Biden and let Kamala Harris be the first black, Indian, female president of the USA

     What will the Biden-Harris admin do in these few months to much things up?

     @djsumdog @agnumasalis Hogwash!

     Lots of things happen. Maybe not the things you wanted to see, but lots of things change.

     * Two years to flatten the curve
     * Warp speed
     * Larry Fink's advice to print a few trillion and destroy the economy
     
     Now we get Peter Thiel backed JD Vance (not his real name, also a discount hillbilly) and his technocrat buddies to push biometic IDs (to protect the border!) and probably digital currency too (no you can trust it. It's private and libertarian!)
     
     Trump of 2016 is dead. We get discount CIA technocrat. We'll see if it matters, but I suspect Orange Man backers will now apologize for insane anti-liberty policies.
     
     I fell like I'm watching WWF. Trump was the heel.

     @GummyNerds @djsumdog Yeah to actually act like Trump wasn't unprecedented in his first term and the establishment did not go to extreme steps to thwart any actual change then ignore the difference circumstances this time is being willfully blind.

     I am expecting very little towards my preferred Ancapistan but ill take he resounding rebuke of the Political Eliterati's body politic that is now spurting the last of it' life blood out and leaving the M$M in it's coffin ready to be buried.

     apologize in this context means "to defend" (like Christian apologetics)

     @djsumdog @GummyNerds Most of his backers aren't libertarians but are more pro individual liberty than whomever was in Harris' camp.

     I don't know what sort you think would be in a position to feel any need to apologize.

     I'm more boosted about what Trump being in means for what the actual American people will be able to do. LEt's say he just continues his for every 1 new regulation remove 2. How about cutting the wait time for Space X rockets? Stop funding Ukraine? The border will be better

     Also I doubt he'll remove any regulations. That's not really even in his ability to do, unless you're talking specifically about executive orders (Biden rescinded most of Trump's when he entered, so it's probably par-the-court for ever president going forward now).

     If he stops funding Ukraine, it will all just go to Israel instead. I don't see him being able to stop Israel. No one is that powerful. If he does, the CIA/Mossad might try a non-staged assassination attempt instead, but I don't give him that much credit.

     Honestly all I care about is him freeing the Jan 6th political prisoners. Although I bet the current admin will do that before they leave to take credit and control the narrative, just like Assange.

     I said "most." Biden kept some of the Trump tariffs that helped US manufacturers.
     
     Some of the Obama era stuff couldn't be rescinded because it literally gave people new rights. An example was DACA. Obama's team basically said, "Tell us if you came here as kids illegally and nothing will happen to you; here are some papers."
     
     This is a grant of "equitable entitlement." Imagine if, after Lincoln, the next president rescinded the emancipation proclamation. You're now taking away a granted right. (that particular point is moot since that proclamation didn't actually free all slaves and Congress passed a real law not long after, but I digress).
     
     It's a Pandora's Box, and should really be beyond the limits of executive power. It's the same with the Obergefell decision. Even if you're for marriage equality, it should have come from Congress and not the Supreme Court. Justice Alito has a very well written dissent about it. Laws should come from legislation, not from the executive (that would make them a King) or from Judges.

     Iirc Trump tried to rescind all of Obama's last time but was blocked in the courts. The ratchet only turns one way
