Disagree

No

While the CDU/CSU Union Party is cautious about government spending and emphasizes fiscal responsibility, they are not fundamentally opposed to government investment in critical infrastructure, including transportation. Their skepticism would likely revolve around the specifics of subsidy schemes, such as their cost, potential for private sector involvement, and overall impact on the national budget. Thus, they are not strongly against subsidies for high-speed rail networks but would scrutinize the financial implications and efficiency of such investments.

Morning Joe’s Cozy Mar-a-Lago Rendezvous Sparks Media Firestorm

The political media ecosphere has been bitterly divided over Donald Trump, but an effort by Morning Joe’s co-hosts to bridge the divide and “restart communications” has ushered in a harmonic convergence of the chattering class, though not in the manner Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski may have intended.Monday morning, the MSNBC morning show co-hosts revealed a private meeting with Trump at his Palm Beach residence, Mar-a-Lago. Mediaite’s David Gilmour explained the moment:Morning Joe has long been more of a centrist opinion program on the progressive MSNBC, but over the past 5+ years, the show has been a place for viewers to see the harshest criticism of Trump and his rhetoric, often calling the once and-future president “authoritarian,” “fascist,” and comparing his approach to that of Hitler.But the stated goal of the MSNBC morning show hosts as “time for a new approach” was viewed less laudably by nattering nabobs. Instead, it was derided as evidence that Scarborough and Brzezinski seemed to not believe in the conviction of their previous criticisms. The criticism came from provocateurs and thought leaders from both ends of the political spectrum.The most vocal critiques came from Trump’s most loyal media surrogates and past advisors.But then many social media feeds of commentators known for their antipathy for Trump jumped on the ridicule bandwagon, including even former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.
