While the LGBTQIM executive orders are both evil and unconstitutional, they are not the place to spend political capital right now. We need to focus on getting the Cabinet confirmed, building the wall, deporting illegals, and repealing Obamacare (replace after full repeal, if at all, not as part of the repeal). Cut the absolute size and intrusiveness of government now, while we have the advantage. The social wars issues can come later.

as usual, pollster you hit the nail right on the head, great post.

but if Jared and Ivanka have sway on this issue, what else are they doing on other ones like climate change?

I agree. Better strategy is to focus on things which will do long-term damage to the Left, like getting a conservative on the Supreme Court, rather than things which will further mobilize the Left's base against us. It's best, right now, to focus on those things which will damage the Left's elites, while not exciting their troops.

Yes, they are.

Trump was elected because a lot of people have gotten sick and tired of this country's political establishment. One of the most egregious examples of this was the jailing of Kim Davis in Kentucky over her refusal to sign a "gay marriage" certificate.

The Federal judge in that case was a George W. Bush appointee. Some of us voted for Donald Trump because it was the only way we could effectively say "'Eff you!" to the political establishment in both parties.

It doesn't matter how many jobs are created under the Trump administration, or how big a wall he builds along the Mexican border, if this kind of diabolical sh!t is allowed to stand.

Does anyone even care what the unemployment rate was in Sodom and Gomorrah the day before those cities were destroyed?

There is no "spending" involved. Seriously, what's the cost? Just sign the damn order and it's good.

Rather, there is substantial cost SAVINGS through butting out a very expensive bureaucracy tasked with enforcement.
