The Hill ^ | March 15, 2019 | Cristina Marcos and Mike Lillis

It’s all to stall and hold things up.....Demorats are truly anti-America and showing it every single day...many times thru the day. They ‘owe’ a lot to those who are pulling their strings because Hillarys loss costs so many their plans and wealth.

I can't agree...Trump made it clear he only shows his hand when it benefits him, or the people, to do so. Further the media won't present anything he does as good for the country so why should he even try. Unfortunately our side has too many who forget things have changed and want to know everything.....it is difficult if not impossible for people to understand the 'equations' have changed in pretty much everything.

.....”The Democrats ONLY focus for the next 2-6 years is to make sure that NOTHING works for Americans and America”.....

They always create confusion, chaos and instability so that when the next election comes along they can run on being the ‘saviors’. The problem now is Hillarys voters don’t care either what is good for America....they continue to want revenge for her loss and rather than blame her they have misdirected their rage toward this administration and anyone who supports it. They still are clearly altogether undone.

I truly enjoy watching Trump operate.....there has never been a president who so confounds and perplexes the status quo...which is actually no longer applicable. I gave up early on trying to figure any of it out and just enjoy the plays....especially when it ‘looks like’ other than what it will be.

Let me give you an example of how I ‘watch’....It’s important to be aware of who is visiting and who and where they are going.....Trump visited the Pentagon, yesterday or today and with him was Pence, Bolton and Pompao as well as other significant people.....that’s a ‘huge’ deal.... The press was there but he and the others didn’t skip a heartbeat getting inside. I cannot recall the last time I saw a President visit the Pentagon with his team outside of 9/11.

Whatever is on the table, I await to see how it plays out down the road.

I hope the following doesn’t get me banned ...

I believe the only thing that will stop the Left is a military counter-coup, followed by a period of Trump governing the country by executive order, i.e. by decree.

Government under the Constitution could be restored gradually. Think Spain under the transition from Franco to King Juan Carlos.

The Founders were rightly concerned about political factionalism. But how could they have envisioned Marxism? Or what appears to be an epidemic of mental illness sweeping our nation.

Old-fashioned liberals were wrong about many things but at least you could do business with them.

Today’s Left is driven by a toxic combination of power lust and inability to process facts and logic.

They cannot be reasoned with. They deserve punishment for sedition and treason. Every last one of them — from Antifa goons to the Democrat leadership.

This is the first time in my almost 70 year memory that I don’t have to stand powerlessly by and watch the “politicians” screw things up.

Watching Trump aggressively do the right thing is amazing to me. I cannot recall anything even close to it happening in my adult life. Yay!

You shouldn’t be banned, but in my opinion, what you are describing is not going to happen.

Great meme! It is true. The majority of people in the Senate and House of Representatives, (all democrats and some republicans) are globalists. They want the desolution of the United States but they want it done slowly so they can all maintain distance and claim ignorance to being the cause.

They are all domestic enemies of the US Constitution and their voting on this single issues proves it.

No way is there 67 votes to override.

Yep, nearly impossible in the House.
It would be impossible in the Senate if the GOP-e had true leadership

It’s worse than that. The rot is so deep that it will take generations to clean it out. We’re in a situation similar to that if France circa 1803 or the Roman Republic in 50 B.C. Our system of government is not designed to deal with the radical Jacobin/Communist/Globalist threats.
All of our institutions have been compromised, not just government.

The following is a scenario that I hope is not necessary, but which needs to be seriously debated in the conservative movement.

I used to think America needed its own Pinochet. But we might actually need a Napoleon or Julius Caesar to pull us out of this mess. We might have to declare the creation of an American Empire with Trump as emperor. That would give Trump the authority to do what needs to be done — in a way that temporary emergency power could not.

Under this scenario, Trump would have more than just temporary dictatorial power. He’d temporarily hold the sovereignty of the nation in his hands. No court or legislature could oppose him. For a while, Trump would BE the state. This is power only a patriot like Trump could ever be trusted to have.

And because Trump could name a successor (not necessarily one of his sons, though it could be), this would ensure that the country remained in safe hands if Trump died in office.

I know this sounds crazy to modern ears. But the republic is already gone. It’s been replaced by the Deep State cabal. Only by temporarily placing sovereignty in the hands of a single, trusted patriot can we expect to defeat the cabal.

The establishment of an Empire would be a temporary measure. Once the leftist menace is defeated, we would naturally restore the republic we had in place prior to the Deep State takeover, which happened shortly after WWII.

Many of us never expected to see this in our lifetime.
Which came first? The crooked politician elected due to our apathy and ‘I don’t care attitude”; or our attitude being ‘whatever will be, will be’ due to the crooked politicians lining their own pockets?.
