A little over a year from now Republicans will control both bodies of Congress, the White House, and the SCOTUS as a result of these actions today.
Divided government made some sense and was potentially beneficial at times 50 years ago when Democrats were the equivalent of today's moderate conservatives. But with the far-left crazies having taken over the party, "divided government" will be the end of America. Because that is what they want.

They must be stopped....they must be denied control of any government branch for the foreseeable future. Until such time as they restore sanity in their ranks....IF they ever do. Because the chaos we've seen this year is just a taste of what these crazies will bring us perpetually if we allow them power.

Trump has taught Republicans a valuable lesson. And thus I think we'll see the Rs far more responsive to the interests of average Americans for some time to come. With the way they were conducting themselves before Trump came along and boxed their ears, they deserved to lose to Obama both times - especially the second time given the snake they ran against him.

For now we must keep the Democrats at a good, safe distance from power if we want to keep our country. They have earned America's contempt.

Trump is right about San Francisco and that will be more highlighted in the upcoming weeks by ads as I assume of how under Pelosi, the city went down hill and her bank account grew tremendously, like all these dem cronies.

A bunch on dishonest rhetoric signifying nothing except her hatred.

Excellent assessment of where we are but with the Media, Education, Entertainment, Social Media, Tech, and Corporations now embracing the Democrat style of Far Left Progressive insanity, will we ever be able to right the ship. Or is it listing so far to Port we will never get it back?

As opposed to the OP? C'mon....

Can anyone detail in what way she "went after the President's son", BTW? I didn't watch the statement.

Time will certainly tell on all those fronts.

Let's see.

Trump doesn't have to prove his innocence.


Not sure what's so hard for some people to understand about that?

I’m not sure “thick skinned” is the most apt descriptor for someone who spent 25 years mailing photos of his hands to someone who called him a “short-fingered vulgarian”.

That still remains to be seen. But the fact of Trump's amazing election victory in 2016 means there's hope. I mean, who among us thought a Presidency like Trump's was even possible as we watched our country circle the drain 5 years ago?
