GOP prepares January surge to cement Trump policies into federal law

That'll be nice if it actually happens...

I don't know if the filibuster could actually be removed. But if something like that goes down, all history changes before our eyes I believe. One way something like that could open the doors to so many things not thought possible.

Yes of course that would be the concern. But if dems get back in presidential power and can do away with it, they will. Reps not doing it would not guarantee dems won't. But it would likely guarantee they will. If they are willing to cheat (demonstrating lovers of self to a whole new level), and they can do away with it, their instincts at this point would insist, they must.
We have another 20 to 45 years or so perhaps prophetically in the eschatology sense for the age of grace to complete. What we would be seeing if God's capstone = Make Israel Great Again via Trump +, and part of that deal is that the Reps beat the Dems and locked them out for this season to actually flourish like it would need to to approach apocolytpic proportional warmup. And if that is the case, we are a lot closer than 20 years...if Israel Enlargement via MAGA = God's swang song to the age of grace proper. In that snapshot, it does not matter what the dems may or may not do later. This is conjecture. I understand. But if this conjecture = literal traction, let the dems push back in the tribulation all they want. Perhaps ultimately their grand stand is something like seal 5 persecution...really getting it out of their system after being surprised by MAGA for a few short years. Interesting cartoon, I realize. But just saying,
blessings.

I understand. It is very risky business, amen. But I guess the point i'd make is that if it is removed, it would be a whole lot more difficult to cheat i believe. And unfortunately, the left has pigeonholed themselves of cheating themselves into a corner. This is just my opinion (or more so: my consideration) but I believe it is possible for the Lord to offer Israel attention grabbing events as a potential heads up concerning their 70th week. God does not want any to perish. When we get to Ezekiel 38 and the tribulation, its going to produce a lot of death. If God is winking at Israel, exegetically where they left off (possibly the book of Esther) as a hint/reminder would potentially be possibly to something from what might be the last book canonized and even if not, its super primary place in the post exilic Megillah--as its leading book, could imply the federal head default book status representing the post exilic period hands down.
That of course does not imply the Jews be given a heads up by God using senses about that book as perhaps a reminder. But if it might, irony is its core. Where Hamen sports his own demise. America of course is not Israel. And the dems are not Hamen. But if irony were to serve as a reminder to the Jews about where the Jews left off (and a future 70th week quickly approaches) because of America's long standing support of Israel, in might not be completely out of line maybe for the dems (the supporters of Palestine and Hamas). But even so, if dems set their own traps ironically (the party that opposes her), and do it in some major way loud enough for Jews to comprehend a Haman like defeat (on steroids) of the left, reminded Israel on some grand scale, it could be maybe "a way" Israel gets a whiff of a unique period they might want to consider. Just brainstorming if something like that could. For Esther to be a link reminder for Israel today, the dems would have to have massive fall into their own traps. Well i guess we will see if that could be a consideration or not on some potential divine schedule.
I just point the above out because the midterms are approaching. If any of the above may have some weight, the midterms could be catastrophic for the dems. And if it does, if I were Jewish, I'd likely see Hamenesque overture possibly written all over that. But we will have to wait and see. But if the trajectory we are on is to superpower Israel, the most dems might be able to do would be to redefine their party. That "might" take more time to build back than the age of grace affords them...would be my sense. If that makes sense? Blessings.
An awful lot of "ifs", brother. An awful lot of ifs. And nothing in sight on which to hang anything of substance.

True brother. This "might" only be the case if we see some serious political quicksand this year. Which we may not. One reason along the way that caught set off my "irony" alarm was in 45. Some cartoons actually emerged during that period like a meme many enjoyed. It was the Roadrunner cartoon where the dems where the Cayote and Trump the bird. Perhaps a famous cartoon is just about as far as it could exegetically go (pun intended). What is ironic though is that Trump got elected in 2016. What is more ironic is that Biden got more votes than Obama. And what is ironic on steroids is that Trump was elected president again...lol.
I would not be straight forward if I did not admit some of this kind of view is coming from a purely hopeful sense that the dems get what's coming all up in front of us...lol. But I guess i would also say it never looked so ripe for dems to collapse entirely as a party before either. Neither of which have to be of Israeli import at all. Amen. And merry Christmas.

Agreed. Something like this could go on and on and on for quite a while. It would be nice to be in a season where really hot political action takes the country truly by storm. However, it might just be also instead that we are in a political underwater race where everything is super sluggish and evolves perhaps into something maybe even for decades to come. I'm hoping for the former. But understand it may well just be the latter. And some generation down the road get perhaps a fuller benefit--if it remains patriotic in nature.
I agree that it has never looked so true for a dem collapse. Except for one BIG thing. One big thing that messes up the entire calculus-- Republicans. If there is any way to save the Dems' bacon, if there is any way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, if there any way to blow the best opportunity the Republicans have had in decades to cement themselves as the party of the people and for the people, the Republicans will find it.I would not be straight forward if I did not admit some of this kind of view is coming from a purely hopeful sense that the dems get what's coming all up in front of us...lol.

I don't mean for this to be circular argument dear pastor. But that is why i would somewhat hitch things to Israel. Taking outside the US soap opera. If victory can only be in the hands of the reps...we are doomed. But God. Because the middle east seems to be waking up to His callings. I'm hopeful that means that the camels surpass the donkeys and elephants in the race. If so, in my mind, the only way there can be a victory if there is one even for a short while is God. We as people could not orchestrate such a way to turn the tide of evil...and simultaneously prosper beyond our own soul's ailments. I say this more humbly than perhaps controversially. But this would not be God save the queen. But perhaps a country that could help the world in a better direction as well as grant stronger Israeli footing to boot. To be seen. Amen.I agree that it has never looked so true for a dem collapse. Except for one BIG thing. One big thing that messes up the entire calculus-- Republicans.

My sense in a dem fallout is not the reps. If that is all we had, yuk, i would never even think it out of embarrassment. But what we have seen is God's footprints all over the middle east. If that is a bellwether, the dems indeed might become toast. But God. So i guess it might come down to if He is in the mood or not...lol. Since 1948, to me, He does. But like any mortal, our perception of timing could be off. Blessings.
Cement constitutionality and lawful moves.....great. Cement revenge and punishment of liberalism and the absolutely ludicrosity (my word).....not so great. I fear that this MAGA and right wing movement will be severely overturned with true revenge and punishment once the rabid dogs of the left get back into power.

I hear you Batman. However, I would suggest in one way (although well meant, sincere, and perhaps in ways also wise) that if the left were the left of the 1950's it would merely be a dumb game of political "who is the cat and who is the mouse." But the left has increasingly been overtaken by the far left (why New York has a communist mayor). Beyond that, the left has also been taken over by globalism (easy evidence is how dems use immigration--like Europe--to reshape the actual country vibe). Our schools have evolved into woke training centers (up till recently). Which paved the way for medical child mutilation. The left interest to enlarge government breeds massive crime and fiscal value deflation as "normal." The left had for decades championed the murder of the unborn through the Supreme Court of the land. Thankfully, we do see trends that counter radical leftist thought. But take Trump out of the game and what would we "normally" be left with? Most politicians don't have the level of narcissism to stand up to widespread world class criminal syndication.
I believe the writing is on the wall. If we don't steady America now in a significant way, it will no longer be America for sure. We have a short window. Sure there could be another Trump down the road. But to rely on that would be nothing to hold our breath about though. The left is already aggressively pushing America into the proverbial ground. The left has already taken so much ground. The US is fine with even having property taxes. We think something from the dark ages is normal. The left in many ways has already won.
I would just see this age as a time to take America back. Currently it is not of the people by the people. If we want that back, we will have to do whatever it takes. But within sober strategic limits. One of those limits would be to remove the filibuster. The concept behind doing so i would not think to be in regards to what happens when the left gets back in. Over the course of the many past decades it would seem that democrats hold longer possession of the country. In that sense, I do understand your very valid concern. But because of Trumpain narcissism we have a window to use something like removing the filibuster to crush the far left party into the ground. Yes they are the giants in the land. And yes the truly conservative are the grasshoppers. We don't have God through Moses telling us to take the land. So there is no guarantee we can defeat the giants. What we do have is a practical window to crush them though. And if the dems get back in and do it, they will use it to outlaw conservatism. That is kind of where we are at today. I don't believe we can go back to normal or the 1950's etc. To me, its do or die. That is what time it is. Put America back on track or lose her.
The dems need no reason to retaliate. The far left existence in essence is 24/7 retaliation animated. The filibuster "a" way to crush them where they stand. Should God bless that, we free up world markets and Israel becomes likely far more powerful. Should God not bless that, keeps us kind of where we are anyway. "Oh no....more taxes and hate speech laws." We are already 35% on our way to becoming Europe anyway. The way i see it, i just think we should try if there is a possibility. Otherwise we become the US of Minnesota-esque terrorist level fraud. If we don't take back America, the global reset is certain. Our eschatology may lean us in that direction, but our politics don't have to. Just saying. But i understand. blessings.
