From reauthorizing the construction of contentious pipeline projects to halting the progression of former President Obama's pending regulations, some of President Trump's executive actions have sparked immediate action in the federal government.

Yup, but remember when half of the experts here screamed and threw fits screaming that, "TRUMP IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE! - HE WAS A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT!!!"
All the while, pontificating Gang of Eight Rubio, Lyin' Ted Cruz, and Krazy Kasich were the only true "constitutional conservatives."
One wonders what those FReepers are thinking now. 😁
