Summary

Trump’s transition team is reportedly mired in infighting at Mar-a-Lago, with factions clashing over control and strategy for his return to the White House.

The Washington Post detailed heated disputes, including shouting matches, name-calling, and physical altercations.

Three key factions have emerged: one led by Donald Trump Jr. and JD Vance, another by Trump ally Susie Wiles, and a third by Linda McMahon.

High-profile confrontations involve figures like Boris Epshteyn, Elon Musk, and Vance, highlighting tensions over Cabinet picks and leaks, further fracturing the team.

    Funny, that’s what so many of the “don’t vote for Kamala” people were saying people should do before the election.

    Were you one of them?

      Absolutely not. I had no problem with the anti Genocide stance. It just shouldn’t have happened 6 months before such a critical election. I spent all of 2020-2023 trying to get people to realize joe biden would rat fuck us in a heart beat and I was met with the same resistance I’m getting right now.

      I guess everyone gets to be ignorant and perpetuate their own oppression but some one has to be out here doing the right fucking rhing.

        You’re not getting my point. Every single election cycle there’s this online contingency saying “we must fight the DNC.” Cool. Let me know when it actually happens. I’m guessing right before all the people who say everyone needs to vote third party to teach the DNC a lesson get that one right.

          This is different. I would never advocate for any existing third party. Your point is moot because what happens from here won’t be anything like before. It will have all the trappings but when it’s time for a free and fair election people are going to freak when they see the results. My argument is, why wait for it? How many years have we already wasted and invested into a party they is not functional. Even if things stay how they are the DNC is a sunk cost and they proved it by losing to trump now, when it mattered most. Trump, the shittyist candidate I’ve ever witnessed in my entire life.

            It’s always going to be different this time. And I would like to point out that there is a word for doing the same things over and over again and expect a different results.

            Also, I’m not sure why you are assuming there will be elections at all anymore unless you’re talking about the kinds they have in places like Russia and Belarus, in which case it’s the DNC that’s moot here.

              My fucking brain just broke, are you arguing against me anymore?

              That’s what I’m saying, the DNC is moot, stop supporting it so people arent fooled into believing in 2026 they will “wipe the floor” blah blah blah. All that rhetoric is a waste of time. Democrats need to see they are generally accepted as the joke that lost an entire to trump the circus clown and everyone else needs to start feeling urgency to act, ASAP.

                  Brah, I hate this part, because you’re supposed to be able to dismiss me now because I don’t have every fucking detail planned out. Just what you’re asking of me is so absurd. Im not the leader of the revolution I am the guy ringing the alarm bell. There are certainly things I would do but you don’t really care about that. You’re just fishing for another argument that you don’t like that you can dismiss and “win the conversation.”

                    I didn’t ask for every detail. A general overall picture would be nice. I’m not “supposed to be able” to do anything. You’re making an argument that the DNC needs to act. And now you’re getting upset that you’re being asked what actions they are supposed to take.

                    That’s beyond “I’m just the ideas person here” territory.
