I guess that once he's announced his nomination of Mike Huckabee, everyone will be thrilled.
I mean, Huckabee has an honorary doctorate of laws, so that's close enough, amirite?
Huckabee and the evangelical agenda are the greatest threat to American and World peace that we know. These folks seek to circumvent our Government to bring about biblical prophecy and rapture. Incredibly dangerous and stupid.
While Trump's right hand is tweeting dumb responses about crowd sizes and voter fraud, which garners loads and loads of media coverage, his left hand is moving at lightning speed getting a LOT of things done in a very short time.
1) Reverses Obama's planned tax cut for new home buyers before it would have gone into effect 27 Jan. Heads explode and the msm can't stop lying about it "Trump just cost homeowners $500 a month". FACT: It will cost homeowners NOTHING.
2) Signed executive order that will make it much easier to dismantle the ACA piece by piece. AKA the first step in repealing Obamacare. Heads explode - drama queens heard lamenting "people will be dying in the streets"...
3) Put a freeze on any new regulations from any department - also stated "we can roll back regulations by 70%, and maybe more in some cases". - Heads explode. Leftist cries of "Trump is going to kill the planet". "Your food will no longer be safe" echo throughout the country. FACT: Many regulations as well as the implementation method of said regulations is CRUSHING small business in America and also has an adverse affect on big businesses. The Obama admin ramped up regulations so much that many companies who could afford it had to hire compliance specialists to keep up with all the new requirements. YES some regulations are important and are NOT GOING AWAY, but a lot of what we call regulation doesn't accomplish much of anything and is very burdensome. Kroger among the many retail providers who announced they would be hiring thousands more employees due to this news.

4) Signed an order to stop tax payer funding of abortion providers - Heads explode bigly. "Back alley abortions are going to make a come back". FACT: No federal funds were supposed to be used for abortions anyway. This just forces the law to actually be followed and will push abortion clinics to be separate entities from "women's health services providers" which may still provide as much healthcare and contraception as they wish.
5) Put a freeze on government hiring. The team will review and eliminate many redundant and unnecessary jobs that are funded by the American taxpayer.
6) Officially pulls out of TPP.
7) Expedited order for the long over due Keystone and Dakota pipelines that will result in more energy independence.
8) Will sign off on funding to begin construction of border wall/fence. This is actually something that congress approved back in 2006, but funding was never found to make it a reality and obviously it wasn't a priority. Unsurprisingly Obama halted any progress when he assumed control in 2009.
Trump also orders DHS to outline in detail all federal aid going to Mexico so that cuts can be made in order to fund the wall.
9) Announced he would officially nominate someone to fill the SCOTUS vacancy by end of next week.
Hasn't even been in office a full week and is knocking out project after project after project.
How many more heads are left? I expect we will continue to see them explode day after day.
Trump's right hand is tweeting dumb responses about crowd sizes
Looks like a pretty BIG crowd to me. It even crosses the reflection and pool and all the way up to the Wash Monument.
When the media reports lies thsy SHOULD be called on it.
gotta love it when leftists go on extended anti-fox news rants for no obvious reason.
Like all the screaming about the temporary ban on refugees from certain countries. Interesting Bit of Legislative History - MacCarran Walter Act of 1952
Note: McCarran and Walter were Democrats. This act was created in 1952 and used by Carter in 1979 …
Trump was recently severely criticized for suggesting that the U.S. should limit or temporarily suspend the immigration of certain ethnic groups, nationalities, and even people of certain religions (Muslims). The criticisms condemned such a suggestion as, among other things, being “Un-American,” dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous and racist. Congressmen and Senators swore that they would never allow such legislation, and the president called such a prohibition on immigration unconstitutional.
As Gomer Pyle would say, “Surprise, Surprise !!!” It seems that the selective immigration ban is already law and has been applied on several occasions. Known as the McCarran-Walter Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 allows for the "Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by president. Whenever the president finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
The act was utilized by Jimmy Carter, no less, in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States, but he actually did more. He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then he deported a bunch. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States in 1979.
It is of note that the act requires that an applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and "attached to the principles of the Constitution.”
Since the Quran forbids Muslims to swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, technically, all Muslims should be refused immigration.

Yes, and they conveniently forget about Obama banning Iraqi's from entering for 6 months in 2011. No protesting, no heads exploding.
The media can't say "radical Islamist terrorist" but they can sure say "Muslim ban" a couple dozen times per show.
Interesting how they can, one the one hand mention that some Muslim countries are not on the list but then on the other hand, shout repeatedly "Muslim ban" and "religious test". Those are contradictory, as if certain Muslim majority countries are not on the ban list, then obviously it cannot be a "Muslim ban".
Furthermore, they attempt to smear and raise questions about the 7 countries on the list and Trump's business ties, as though he is doing something underhanded.
Those 7 countries on the list were actually the same 7 countries Obama had on his list of "countries of concern". None of the MSM have bothered to mention this fact.
Obama must have referenced Trumps business holdings before making that list...

Heads are really exploding because Trump isn't part of the charity ball, "go along to get along" consensus. I was at a Holocaust Remembrance function last Friday. I eliminated the name of the organization and the person with whom I was talking:
I wanted to follow up on our very stimulating discussion yesterday. One of the reasons I am active in (Major Jewish Advocacy Charity), at (giving) level for now, is the ability to have conversations at an intellectual level beyond those normally possible.
I agree that just about all (Major Jewish Advocacy Charity) members are people of good will who want nothing but peace with the Arabs, probably on the basis of a two-state solution. The agonizing problem is, as we discussed, what if the other side of the divide, i.e. the Arabs and especially their leaders have no interest in any solution that involves Jewish self-government anywhere in the Muslim ummah? I find it conceivable, indeed likely that there is no mutual interest in peace. I think you told me that you talked with an Arab leader who simply repeated, several times, the villainous narrative of Israel's activities when asked what they would consider a solution. I certainly cannot admit to having an answer since I have none. But the Arabs have demonstrated throughout the tortured history of the British Palestine mandate and since that they lack any motivation towards resolution.
I mentioned Alan Dershowitz's book Chutzpah for the parallel proposition that no changes in Jewish behavior would ever eliminate even the far milder American Gentile discomfort the Jews and Judaism. So, does Israel just have to sit there and leave the West Bank fallow, while pining for developments that probably will never happen? I can't imagine that anything other than Israel agreeing to disappear will ever give the Palestinians the "hope" that they claim to need to go on with the "peace process."
The point of this is that basically to be pleasant and politically correct people still are pushing on the string of the two-state solution. The Palestinian authorities have shown no interest in it. Are we all talking to ourselves?
Following Sally Yates political and public grandstanding she was rightfully fired.
Literally within minutes of the breaking news CNN posting "Monday Night Massacre" on the screen.
Monday Night Massacre is, of course, a reference to the "Saturday Night Massacre" event back in 1973 when Nixon fired the AG who was investigating his crimes.
There is not really much in the way of comparisons here, but CNN being the poster child for unbiased news reporting couldn't pass on the opportunity to try and make them seem identical.
I was really hoping that after the election they would revert back to a more moderate and less partisan network, but I guess Jeff Zucker has decided to "dig in" and keep the all out spin narrative going.

Can't wait to see what develops today.
Getting out the popcorn, it's going to be a fun show watching the liberal soap opera I'd bet!
because you know that 1,500 mile wall will never be done..
...... and Donald Trump will never get close to the Oval Office.
