And there it is. The REAL way the Left sees We The People. They think that is government not the actual citizens.

Why wasn't anything done then?
Is this question a joke? Does not the GOP take responsibility for the past six and one half years?

We the people are the government.

A little Constitution lesson for you:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Preamble to the United States Constitution

bwahahahahahahaha...You are the one that needs the lesson. WE THE PEOPLE (Citizens of the country), GAVE those powers to the Fed gov THROUGH the Constitution. The government in any way shape or form is NOT We The People. Whenever that phrase is used it means US as in the CITIZENS.

you have captured the whole problem here.


We have a POTUS who is not at all concerned about reality, and instead is treating the Office like a sitcom, or reality TV show.
Trump is uninterested in policy or politics what he cares about seems to be popularity and theatre. There is NO real infrastructure plan, instead there is a speech and some sparklers.

Trump's supporters have no interest in politics or policy either. They are simply cheering on "their guy" and enjoying the show he is putting on for them. So when Trump says "ahead of budget" they believe it, because they don't care about infrastructure, nor healthcare any other policy. As long as it sounds good and sounds like they are "winning" they are happy.
It will take at least another year for these fools to either get bored or figure out Trump has been lying the whole time.

The only plan Trump really has is a plan to enrich his family and the uber wealthy.

The Republican House just passed that dog's breakfast of a healthcare bill. What reason is there to believe that any of his bills that were even halfway sensible could not get passed?

You mean constructions for better future? The only big construction under Trump is "Mexican Wall". The wall is more on political side without any positive economical values.

One has to compare it to what China's doing on that respect with its Belt and Road initiatives expanding Eurasia continent.

I'm amazed. He hasn't been in office for a year yet after quite possibly 2 of the worst leaders this country has ever had... and you're all screaming foul over nothing getting accomplished?

Entitled princesses much?

Am I the only one who'd volunteer wall construction or road bridge tunnel sub way construction in exchange for a hefty tax deduction?

Am I the only one who sees over populated prisons giving 3 hots and a cot with a college degree to boot, as wasted resources for labor for said infrastructure projects?

I don't see any leftists who make JFK roll in their grave asking what they can do for the country rather what free stuff they can get, other than throw the red Menace and Rootin Tootin Putin out as why they lost bigly. I don't see any Rinos worrying about their careers in politics jumping on board either.


You're all doing it to yourselves. Especially by phoning and emailing your congressmen to be vehemently against anything the man wants to do to spite him...Bet if he cured cancer y'all would cry foul he's stealing business from the grim reaper...

Senate said it was not a priority.

Why do municipalities, counties and states look to the Federal Government, instead of paying for it themselves?
