TRUMP DID NOT FAIL US, WE FAILED TRUMP
Vanity | 01-26-2019 | Captain Peter Blood

Posted on 01/26/2019 6:02:33 PM PST by Captain Peter Blood

I have deliberately tried not to read the articles and comments of the last couple of days since President Trump’s announcement on the deal to end the government shutdown.

The reason being was the kind of negative comments and wailing that the President had caved and no longer deserved our support. I flatly reject that argument.

None of can truly know the immense pressure the President was under to find a way to end this imbroglio. I, like many, had hoped that the President could tough it out and get the Border Wall Funding that is needed. The truth is the President went further than any one before him on Principle, but at some point it became an issue of diminishing returns politically, and the Democrats refused to bargain in good faith.

The real truth is that President Trump is one man who has been battling not only the Democrats, but his own party that have refused to stand with him, not only on the Border issue but many others as well. What could we the voters who put President Trump in office really expect?

President Trump in two short years has accomplished more than any of us could have realistically expected given the circumstances. A man who was not a professional politician and had come up through the ranks to become President, but one who was a independent outsider that by a fluke won and beat all the professionals, and badly at that.

We have to take note and realize that both political parties are corrupt, in fact they are beyond the Pale kind of corrupt and one man cannot take them on and win without unqualified support. We the voters that put Mr. Trump in office in many ways have failed him, and failed him miserably.

When exactly was the last time that people took to the streets to really protest anything or marched on Washington D.C. to demand any change? There were certainly many protests and such during the Vietnam War as well as Civil Rights Demonstrations in the 1960’s and early 1970’s.

The one time though that I can recall from history that people actually went to Washington D.C. for a real protest was during the early 1930’s. It was during the Depression and it was the Bonus March where veterans of W.W. I came to get the monies they were promised for fighting in W.W. I. Over 43,000 people came and tent cities sprang up all over Washington.

The Army was called out to disperse them, they were under the command of then Chief of Staff Douglas MacArthur , tear gas and guns were used, people died ,and it was a shameful period in out history.

My point in bringing this up is this, at what point do we as Americans, finally decide we have had enough of the corrupt parties in D.C. and finally march on the city and demand our Government do what we elected them to do????

Recently we have seen those in France, The Yellow Vests, do exactly that. The people there were finally pushed to the braking point tax wise and were able to cause a General Strike and for the most part were able to force the Government to it’s knees and they aren’t finished yet as they have been emboldened to press on and try to get other reforms.

The question arises when do we in this country do the same, what is the tripping point here? Will people ever get motivated to come out of their little cocoons, put down their cell phones, get away from the video games, etc. and etc. to demand that government be accountable to them and have our elected officials do what we elect them to do or we will just go along, silently assent and acquiesce?

Because if we aren’t going to so what is necessary to demand our Politicians be accountable then how can we hold President Trump responsible?

President Trump isn’t perfect and we knew that when we elected him, but we also knew he wasn’t a Boy Scout either, he was a New York Street Fighter and that was what was needed. Like or not Donald Trump is the only game in town for us, The Deploreables. If what the Democrats propose and want doesn’t scare you then I don’t know what to tell you.

I will continue to support the President through thick and thin as there is no other alternative for the future of our country and Constitution.

Maybe we won’t get the Border Wall, but it won’t be for lack of trying. President Trump has put it all on the line for us because I think he loves his country, we need to find more ways to support the President.

My dream would be 10 Million of us march on Washington D.C. and demand what we know is right and the politicians be Damned.

The question is what will it take to make us do that?

~ Feb 15 POTUS declares emergency
~ EO goes to court, hopefully quickly
~ Court confirms EO, verifying State of Emergency
~ We have our WALL
~ Court case confirms Deep State’s subversion and lack of concern of the American People for last 50 days

POTUS is playing long ball for the win on multiple fronts.

“I do not advocate violence...”

Sadly, that’s the only method to save our Republic and to destroy the leftists, anarchists, fascists, socialists, commies, nazis, invading armies of illegal aliens and other subhuman filth.

In less than a generation, they will own the US House and US Senate, and the Executive Branch.

They will not stop, but only grow in numbers and become more relentless. If they aren’t put mercilessly put-down now, you can kiss it all goodbye.

Yes but some are. I can no longer read Ann Coulter, she has become almost a defeatist and wailing like a menopausal woman.

Trump was elected to stop the USA from becoming Mexico.

Instead of prioritizing that, he lets the GOPe first get their precious tax bill through. And then their failure theater on Obamacare. Then the House flips.

Nothing significant was or will be achieved regarding campaign promise numero uno. No reduction in third world legal migration. No reduction in illegal migration. No wall.

So we become Mexico.

I am not bailing either, but somehow I think we have to do more.

Two years isn’t short term. Trump let the open-borders GOPe do its thing for two years. He won’t get better now from the open-borders/anti-American hard Left in charge of the House.

HOLY FATHER, we pray You will share Your Wisdom with our POTUS.
He stands strong against those who oppose both YOU and us.
He needs Your help at this moment. Please answer his call.

And FATHER, thank You for this blessing. We know You've not forgotten us.
Prayed in the Powerful words of Christ.
Amen!

You missed the point. Trump can only do so much and push the envelope so far, when you don’t even have the full support of your own party what do you really expect?

You missed the point to. I am to the point the only way we get to the corrupt politicians is to have some sort of march, a protest, a General Strike, anything to make clear we expect more of them.

SCOTUS wouldn’t let Trump fight asylum fraud. Don’t count on them blessing a border E.O.

I did not say it was over, and it isn’t. The next go around we need to be much vocal to the politicians we elected and bring as much pressure on Democrats as possible.

Everything on this planet is in God’s hands, including President Trump.

Continue to pray for him. There isn’t a single more important thing we can do for him.

Beyond that, write him and encourage him.

Try to reason with anyone you meet who opposes him.

Here in NYS, our non-liberal votes for president, senator, governor, attorney generalare just throw away votes because of NYC. The only elections we have any say in are in the House rep and the state assembly and the state senate.

It’s beyond discouraging.

All we can know is that in the end, God wins.

Many times in the past, evil seems to have won, but God is keeping accounts and there will be a HUGE reckoning.

This life is not our forever, and while I am NOT advocating doing nothing in light of that, just do your best and leave the final outcome to God.

And nothing is beyond His ability to forgive.

When obama went in, “hope” was supposed to be the big saving grace.

When Trump sent in, the “prayer” was supposed to be the big saving grace.

Actually, neither one of those will work if we just sit on our duffs and do nothing.

The “prayer” should be, “Lord, give us the strength to band together and defeat those who are trying to destroy us.”.

WE have to do it, God is not going to fight our battles for us, only, give us the strength to do it for ourselves.

If we don’t get the wall to protect our country, then we’ll make DC want a “wall” to keep us out!

The sheer numbers of just the TEA Party scared them, we should double that with a big movement called, “BALLS TO THE WALL”.

He does not have to wait to declare National Emergency.

He does if he wants to solidify public support which is critical to success whether you think so or not.

My dream is about 100 gibbets on the Capitol Mall. I reckon about thirty refills and we have a good start on eradicating most of the treasonous b*stards.

I agree with you. We’re reaching the point where we’ve got to rally the 2nd Amendment Army we’ve always been.

Even the Colonialists, when they had enough, met the British on the field of battle.

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Concord Hymn, 1837
