President Donald Trump won the November 8, 2016 election in an electoral landslide.

President Trump captured several states that have not voted Republican in decades.

Riding on his coattails the Republican Party also won back the House of Representatives and won a majority in the US Senate.

In December 2016 Speaker Paul Ryan spoke about how he would help the new president push through his agenda.

The new Republican president wanted to pass tax cuts, repeal Obamacare and build a border wall.

People need to show up outside their homes, chant “kill the bill” and “do-nothing Congress”.

If we don’t make our voices heard now, may be too late.

The Republican Party won the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014.

The GOP was all for the “big tent” until Trump came along.

Hypocrites, thieves and liars.

DJT get that pen ready. They better not do the Pro Forma thing to block recess actions. If they go in recess and Trump doesn’t use it to do some recess appointments Trump weakened support will collapse IMHO.

They will need all that time away from work when they are forced onto those Bronze Repubicare plans in order to get seen by a doctor for whatever their healthcare needs may be?

Good, the sooner they’re on vacation the better. Trump wants to stop the subsidies and I have no doubt they’ll find a veto proof majority with the Democrats to take that power away from him. He needs to stop the payments immediately and stop telegraphing his position on it. Force congress to pass a bill to give themselves special goodies and tweet about it daily (with names) as they try to sneak in exceptions.

Repeal and replace Congress; at least 98% of them. We may find 10 worthy of leaving in office.

yea, by lying about everything. They keep saying Obama lied about Obamacare (keep your doctor). If they are so concerned with the truth they need only look into the mirror, t hey are worst than Obama could have ever hoped to be.

Congress has imploded into a self serving bunch of political tools.

DJT needs to end Obamacare free ride today. Give them a pay cut for non performance. It would be perfect, watch them howl about how tough they have it. I’m sure the voters will feel so sorry for them.

This is the kind of info we should have on billboards.

Simple fact is we're living under dictators, taxation without representation (Wyden) ruling elite overrides will of the people. We've slept our way into tyranny.

That is a big problem for conservatives....

While liberals maintain a “groupthink” attitude and generally have no problem gathering together to “protest”, conservatives are by nature, more individualistic...

Unlike liberals, who follow blindly, we think for ourselves and do not spontaneously come together en masse to protest or march...

..... The Republican Party still continues to be nothing more than the dysfunctional policy place keepers for the true leaders of this country ... The Democrats ....
