FOR THE most part, Tuesday’s opening session of the 115th Congress was about pomp and circumstance. Still, the prepared speeches and swearing-in ceremonies reminded everyone that — for all the ferment over an impending Donald Trump presidency — there is also a legislative branch of government in the United States. Republicans control the Senate and the House as well as the presidency and are all but salivating over the power to enact dramatic changes to the course President Obama charted during the past eight years.

We won, dammit.
The Demo-rats did it and look what happened.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
I don’t remember anyone in the liberal media complaining when the One reminded us over and over who won as he crammed it all (his marxist/fascist agenda) down our throats and we all lost and lost and lost. Time to turn it around.

Make that happen Donald, it’s an essential part of MAGA.
The GOP should treat Democrats exactly as democrats treated them during the Obamacare debate. There was NO “reaching across the aisle” as Nancy Pelosi banged that enormous gavel to celebrate their total victory over the Repubicans. We voters expect them to get Trump’s entire agenda passed, period. If they don’t, they will be primaried.
