It went well because Mamdani said all the right things to appeal to trump:
"You and I have both been unfairly treated by the media"
"You have done an lot of good work for New York and brought a lot of business to it"

Trump doesn't care about political ideology at all (other than auctioning to the highest bidder), so he tends to get on well with people who are charming, appeal to his ego, and focus on saying things in a non adversarial way.

Yes exactly, I'm not surprised this is an established pattern

Truth social, r/conservative  they are all complaining about the tarrifs but saying their king is "doing well overall"

They will overlook almost any transgressions or criticise it but still give unwavering support, if they go into the next election like this it will play out the exact same as the last one

I've been taking a look at conservative spaces because I'm interested to see what their opinion of the last year has been like and I've come to a realisation, they are divided on a lot of issues, critical of things like the tarrifs or this 2000 rebate they are planning.
The thing is they are willing to compromise as long as some or most of their issues are addressed.

The left with its ever tightening purity tests or moral outrage instead of criticism of their own parties never stood a chance in the last election, and it won't in the next either unless it takes a mature approach to selecting and supporting a candidate

Maybe that makes sense, it avoids a humanitarian crises in the usa over the Christmas period then allows them to trigger the shutdown again in Jan, that said

If they genuinely think the republicans won't budge, then the shutdown is pointless and harmfull.

If they think something will have changed by end Jan I dont see what it could be, but they must have something, because otherwise they will be facing two embarrassing climb downs instead of one.

They folded on everything right? AMA funding is gone right?

Banned, because I cant figure out any read of that post other then supporting pedophile, anyone can see one I'll unban him

And what is that, that you are looking for?

I honestly dont know what the ccp would make of discordians but I hope it would be better the they treat the Uyghurs

None of us have paid the 29.99 subscription renewal to stay members of the illuminati, and we were all banned from epstien island after the "incident"

It begins the outward normalisation of the transition from republican party, to white nationalist party, they want people to know, they want to get to the point that that they can come out of the closet with that.

That's true, if they strike they need to do so decisively and completely, force immediate action.
They should force closure of all airports and hold with that until they get guarantes and support

Ten percent out sick today, and the government threatening to fire them. If they actually follow through with it I see that figure rising to 50 and closing down some of the bigger airports as a demonstration.

There's lots of professions with that clause though. Our police went on strike with mass sickness, the "blue flu".
ATCs have a bunch of clauses about not going to work impaired.
They should all go out tonight and get hammered.

Honestly I think the ATC workers are probably the one group who could really humiliate this government. All it would take is a couple of days of an all out work stoppage and it locks up the gears of billions while also making the government look very weak.
They are playing with fire.

In 2016 I would have agreed. This time everything they have done is deliberate media shock attack, keep people reeling from the last awful thing you did and before they can respond do the next one.
I can say this because its literally what their steve bannon advised them to.
Its systematic, orchestrated, choreographed, and a tool of the same old con, but smarter and meaner. There's nothing chaotic about it, and Trump doesn't have to do anything, just relax and do everything his advisers tell him to
