Trumps Honeymoon is over.
Before we count the ways, a couple of simple observations:
1) Why are we surprised?
For every action, there is an equal (or greater) reaction. It just took a bit more to get over Shock and Awe.
and
2) Why listen to the Democrats when they speak about Republicans?
They certainly, when the shoe is on the other foot, don't.
And, ditto, that goes for their minions in the press.
There, a couple moments of clarity you won't find on 24 hour news.
-> It took a while for the Good Old Boy network of the GOP to find its voice in Indiana. They said, "No" to redistricting.
Funny, they did not propose a solution on How to Win the Mid Terms. And therein, they signaled their surrender to the Democrats.
Why am I anything but underwhelmed that they coalesced in Mike Pence's state. Mike, Trump's former VP, seems to be with the Democrats on anything but Trump.
As for their support of Federal Unions, along with the Democrats, got in the first shot against one of Trump's Executive Orders.
Certainly, Federal Unions can do Strikes at the Federal Reserve. Biden's Fed chairman keeps doing the least he can to unblock the Housing Market, one drip drab at a time.
It's just that the Old Network, can't seem to find anything but ineffective.
Oh, and did you finally do anything about Voter Fraud and the Mail in (Fiasco) Ballots since this was on your watch?
Funny, but Trump clearly has that in his EO sights too.
-> As for the Libertarian wing of the GOP, Rand Paul, found his voice against the blowing up of a struck Venezuelan drug boat. Nevermind, that the boats are armed and were headed our way. Nevermind, that nation is designated a Terrorist State.
And, oh, please, how pleased are the Democrats and their mind numbing weasels, that you joined them once again.
I hope it was worth it.
-> As for the Kum-By-Yah wing of the GOP, they like their the aging Liberals in the Democratic Party, are getting Primaried out at a regular clip. If not as effective as Biden these days.
Speaking of which, the Dems have a similar problem as we do, that of being eclipled by a more powerful force - The Wokies (Woke- Marxist Socialists like AOC).
-> That leaves the Newest and most powerful wing of the GOP. MAGA and it's leader You-Know-Who and his heir apparent JD Vance.
This is a force beyond anything as the GOP or the DEMs has seen in since the last century.
Politicians actually doing what they say.
Ones that are effective against the Dems and their weasels in the Press.
Ones that deliver for the American People, by God, for once.
And, not, like a slew of Dems, drowning us in Regulations, but do the opposite (to get rid of the crap).
The real question about them is whether they will stay or go. If, they go, you can kiss your hiney goodbye.
My guess is like the Liberals by the Wokies, the GOPe is by MAGA.
-> As to Trump, my guess is that the fun has just begun.
Honeymoon?
-Uh, 2nd terms don’t have honeymoons
- I have been hearing nothing but whining about Trump from FR, and locals
Any non Trump hater wanting some hope, just either look at what he’s really doing, not what the press says he’s doing
Why do people here still let the media mold their thinking?
If a Rat every takes power again in the USA, it will be the end of American sovereignty.
The rats will open the floodgates once again and this time give immediate amnesty to the 90 million foreign born that are already here.
A societal collapse is coming, it is guaranteed to occur. And then life will be “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short” (Thomas Hobbes).
What honeymoon?
+1
When the honeymoon is over, is that the end or even the beginning of the end? I guess some marriages between a man and a woman do end before the honeymoon is over, but this was no garden variety marriage. It was an arranged marriage and it was officiated by a judge. I welcome back the “betrothed” from any (working) honeymoon they may have been on, and hope they’re not too tired and ready to keep up the good work.
Thank you for posting that.
I’ll add this...
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
Samuel Adams
One more...
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated...”
Thomas Paine
What honeymoon?
There was a honeymoon?
Frog marches will get me to pay attention again. Until then my personal life is where my focus remains.
WHAT HONEYMOON?
Over ? When did it start?
YEP!!!
Next month. Then it will be a year.
We are experiencing the Law of the Project. You start a project with optimism and energy. Say, for instance, cleaning a hoarder house. Then you hit the wall of reality. Projects take more time and money and work.
The joy of the project becomes contempt. From then on, the project gets finished by pure steel willpower.

and revealed how finicky people are.
Has anyone else notice that the Democrats response to everything President Trump says are do is over the top hyperbole accusations and claims he is destroying our “democracy” and within days what ever upset them is dropped down the memory hole as President Trump does something new that triggers a new few days of accusation and name calling and claims he is destroying our “democracy”
President Trump never had a honeymoon. The Democrats pulled out their old playbook to use against him (it worked last time) but not now. Why? President Trump changed the way the game is played. He is moving so fast that the Democrats don’t have time to do their focus groups, work out their talking points and sending them out to the media. They are working on a 24 hour news cycle, President Trump is working on a 1 hour news cycle.
