Trump's 'Gettysburg address' makes closing argument for choosing him and unveils first-100-days agenda as he promises 'the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime'

'First 100 days' agenda speech formalized his mainstay political pledges with promises of legislation and executive orders

Called it a 'Contract with the American Voter,' modeling it after the 1994 Republican 'Contract with America'

Trump touted 'the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime' and made his final substantive pitch to frame the campaign's last two weeks Told an audience of about 300 invited guests that he will 'drain the swamp' in Washington

Borrowed a line from Abraham Lincoln's 1863 speech, saying he would replace D.C. elites 'with a new government of, by and for the people.'

A Trump aide said the Civil War battlefield site is appropriate because 'Gettysburg was the moment when the war turned'

The candidate briefly visited the site of the famed Civil War battle after his speech

Donald Trump planted a flag on hallowed ground Saturday morning by laying out near the Gettysburg National Battlefield what he would do in his first 100 days as President of the United States. Touting 'the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime,' Trump told an audience of about 300 invited guests that he will 'drain the swamp' in Washington, replacing the current government 'with a new government of, by and for the people.'

Mr. Trump has now placed the target squarely on his back. I think now we have to pray to God like never before for Donald Trump and Mike Pence. The power elites will not stop at destroying these two. They will not let the power slip from their grasp if they can help it. Pray for God’s blessing on these two men.

Off topic - BUT CURRENT DANGER

Are any of you having problems with your system crashing and kicked off net in the past few days/ with momentary notice from Windows - the freeze up followed by black screen - by crash = disconnect etc?

These happened ONLY after clicking on new video info detrimental to Her Thighness -

has happened to me at least 6 times in the last 3 days - finally got back in and ran my malware - TWO TROJANS and FOUR ROOTKITS

have not ever, in 20 years, had anything like that. Hellava time getting back on -

BTW -

Julian posted this just as things went down - has there been any further POL - Proof of Living - messages?

We should start a "Where's Julian - we want to see Julian" drive - make it viral. After all he's done for us, we can't let him be disappeared w/o a trace. If still alive, he deserves to know he isn't forgotten...

With the current RINO congress, some of these goals will be an uphill battle, but the very fact that he intends to try is enough reason to vote him in.

The MSM must be in full meltdown mode at this point, assembling the pundits to tell us how none of it will work.

Based on their continuous record of lying, I disregard everything they say.

And, Hillary claims today that he "will threaten our democracy"--a statement which, in itself, indicates her lack of understanding of the form of government the Constitution structured as a protection for "the People's" rights and liberties.

Were she as schooled in the Constitution's underlying ideas, she might have read the 50th Anniversary Speech expounding and applauding that document's protections by none other than John Quincy Adams, who was invited by the NY Historical Society to deliver it in April 1839, an excerpt of which is included here:

"Every change of a President of the United States, has exhibited some variety of policy from that of his predecessor. In more than one case, the change has extended to political and even to moral principle; but the policy of the country has been fashioned far more by the influences of public opinion, and the prevailing humors in the two Houses of Congress, than by the judgment, the will, or the principles of the President of the United States. The President himself is no more than a representative of public opinion at the time of his election; and as public opinion is subject to great and frequent fluctuations, he must accommodate his policy to them; or the people will speedily give him a successor; or either House of Congress will effectually control his power. It is thus, and in no other sense that the Constitution of the United States is democratic - for the government of our country, instead of a Democracy the most simple, is the most complicated government on the face of the globe." - JQA - "Jubilee" Address

“With the current RINO congress, some of these goals will be an uphill battle”

Trump can start by undoing all Obama’s executive orders..nothing the Rino’s can do about that. This will be the first big move to fixing the economy by rolling back many of the regulations that hurt business.

Next he puts up a SC nominee that he knows will already have the support of Congress.

Next he will drive his tax reforms through...Ryan can’t block that because Trump adjusted his tax plan to align perfectly with the Ryan Plan.

So Trump starts off in the first 4 or 5 weeks winning 3 big battles without even firing a shot!!

The MSM media will go nuts, which after what the American public has seen from the Wikileaks, and the fact that he has already won 3 battles, will only galvanize his support. By then he will look alot like Reagan!

He needs to change everything from the prior years of Obama, executive orders, this he will have no a very little resistance from the feckless GOP, he needs to instruct his new agency heads to clean and gut their agencies of Obama and Clinton hires, they cannot be trusted. He needs to first get his house in order, his team on the same page and solidify his strength and power before steamrolling on to bigger prey

Countdown until the liberal pukes start screaming “contract on the American voters!”.

Just like when Newt had his “Contract with America”.

“solidify his strength and power before steamrolling on to bigger prey”

I get your point, but remember...nothing creates strength and power in DC better than victories. Reagan did the same thing and had Tip O’Neal!

And, since we know how spineless the RINOs are, he can just implement his own EOs.

Do you have flash installed? Then that’s probably your problem. If not, where did you download the video from? What format?
