So what you are saying is that it doesn’t matter who is President because the Administrate State and their unions run our country.
Why didn’t Trump issue an EO to override Kennedy’s EO and break the unions when he had the chance?
Go look at Trump’s tenure at Miss Universe where, over the objections of pageant officials, he forced them to allow trans contestants
Are you going to blame Reagan too?
Neither Reagan nor Trump are medical experts.
Did Trump make mistakes? Of course. Did Reagan make mistakes? Yep, he too made mistakes.
Both men believed that Fauci was something that he clearly wasn't. But people like Fauci often fool lots of people. That is why he ended up being the highest paid Federal employee. I've personally known people like Fauci, who really couldn't hold the position they were in, but they kept advancing, because they fooled the higher ups. I'm sure you have known people like this also.
You also seem to forget that Fauci was the tsar for less than a year, under Trump.
I just love you people who give yourselves so much credit in fields & positions you have never experienced or had training for, with your after-the-fact criticisms.
What have your accomplishments been?
No, the real story is gulf between Trump’s rhetoric and his record
I'm done as well
And transfers over half of the money to a PAC to pay his lawyers
Congress said employees could have federal unions when it passed the Federal Service Labor Management Relations Statute. JFK just signed the legislation into law.
They had tried it earlier with FDR, but FDR rejected it because Congress actually set the wages for FG employees.

What Trump achieved, with the entire Left, the media, the Deep State, and even his own allies on his back and fighting against him is astonishing.
It is amazing he was able to get anything done at all, but he did, against the actions and advice of people who you apparently side with.
You are entitled to have your opinion on it, especially since you sound like that crowd of people fighting him tooth and nail every step of the way, but that doesn’t entitle you to have your own truth.
So the Administrative State is now forever?
What is the point of Presidential Elections?
What can any of them do?
Ron DeStinkus needs to read the tea leaves and get back to Florida.
355 is 2/3 of 538... for veto proof non filibuster group needed to govern or repair our republic without any successful hope for the opposition.
I suspect
>>”So you’re saying that Trump caved to demonic LGBTQ activists in order to make money and that’s ok? It’s not ok to me. There are plenty of businessmen who honor their core values and still make a profit.”
It was not a hill he was prepared to die on at the time, that’s all I know. How many things are there that you disagree with, but put up with for one reason or another? We’ve all done it at some point in our lives.
What I do know is that as a president when he says something, he usually keeps his word or tries to, which is ultimately what matters to me. I’m not voting for Trump to be a preacher, but to solve problems, and as a politician his position has been consistent on men in women’s sports.
I take him at his word because he’s kept his word more than any politician I can think of at the moment. His pro-life policies and pro-Christian policies are instructive. Before he was elected, people questioned his commitment to those issues because of past statements he made, and his past lifestyle. Now I don’t know what’s truly in his heart on those issues but I know he kept his word to be an advocate for pro-life policies and to make protecting the rights of Christians a priority in his administration.
“It was not a hill he was prepared to die on at the time, that’s all I know.”
Utter steaming BS. This does not sound like somebody who reluctantly supports gay rights. Nope, Trump’s all in:

My qualifications are as a retired, decorated navy intelligence officer, the wife of a retired, decorated navy nuclear engineer who had a second career as a scientist for the Space Force. We homeschooled our two children. The elder is a Sr. Cloud Engineer for a Fortune 500 corporation working on the tech for self-driving cars. Our younger child is a medical doctor.
I’ve been some places, seen some things, and done a whole lot, and if I say Trump effed up, it’s because he did.
Don’t get me started on his grossly negligent mishandling of classified material, either. He belongs in a cell for that alone, as do Biden and Pence.
I guess you can’t tell the difference between “supporting gay rights” and being in favor of men in women’s sports, so let me help you. “Gay rights” is a vague term. It can mean anything from supporting gay couples adopting babies and supporting drag shows for kids, to simply being against job discrimination against gays, depending on who’s using the term. And no, despite the headline of the article you linked to, the Trump event was not a celebration of same-sex marriage.
The event was simply an outreach to some of his gay supporters that had been planned well in advance of the gay marriage legislation signed into law by Biden. Some of the attendees at the event chose to make reference to that legislation, which had just been passed, but Trump didn’t bring it up.
And gay rights is not the same as trans rites. It’s one thing to support basic civil rights for gays, which they didn’t always have. Anti-sodomy laws which make homosexuality in the privacy of one’s own home illegal, are still on the books in many states though they’re rarely if ever enforced anymore. And it’s quite another to support trans men competing in women’s sports.
Trump has never made a major reversal on policy. When he says he supports something (e.g. banning men from women’s sports) he means it. If he makes it a point to talk about it at every one of his rallies and interviews, he means it.
What documents is Trump in possession of, that he deserves to be in prison?
Do you also support U.S. involvement in Ukraine/Russia conflict?
And I will not vote for Desantis, or any other candidate the deep state will "allow" me to vote for.
No more lying ass fake Patriots, who are in reality controlled by DS traitors, trying to cover up their crimes, and keep their ill gotten money rolling in.
None of these politicians should be removing classified documents to their private homes, offices, etc. Had I done that I would be entering my second decade of turning big rocks into little rocks at Leavenworth. Had Trump officially declassified the documents while president it would be fine. But in the case of at least one document, he has admitted he did not. That is punishable by imprisonment.
Same for Biden and Pence: neither of them had declassification authority in their positions. For them to have classified documents is punishable by imprisonment.
As for Ukraine, I support the right of Ukraine to defend itself from invasion. I despise both the government of Ukraine and Russia because both are corrupt beyond redemption. I feel greatly for the people of both countries who are suffering, and as a mother, I grieve for mothers in both countries who are losing their sons.
I do not however, believe in forever war to keep the US military-industrial complex happy. I’ve seen the corruption of that system firsthand, and it is ugly. This war, as with most wars and conflicts the US gets into, is more about politicians rewarding their big defense contractor donors than it is about freedom and self-determination for Ukraine.
