r/tuesday This lady's not for turning Dec 02 '24

Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 2, 2024

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

Between Trump’s original AG and DEA picks dropping out, and now with the WSJ reporting that he’s considering replacing Hagseth with DeSantis for Defense, it sure looks like the chaotic staffing of his 1st term is back in full swing before he’s even President…

For what it's worth, I'm actually somewhat reassured. Because based on what's been going on behind the scenes in Washington, it seems less like indecision and chaos and more like Trump's team finding out that he's not getting a free pass in the Senate just because they're both Republican.

I agree. It seemed like the senate was going to rollover and let trump try to recess appoint everyone. Glad to see they are exercising their power of check and balances.

I think it might be a case of whether they're more afraid of Trump or more afraid of McConnell, but I'll at least take the wins where I can get them.

Hopefully there's a few more nominees scuttled, but to be fair, I'm not sure how many more they'll be able to nix.
