Your beefs with Trump are emotional ones, not policy ones.
If you followed way too much social media, then he might have brought you to your knees.

The more I consider the legacy of Trump the more I think he is one of the Great Presidents that could have done even more amazing things IF the Dems and their media had stopped dumping on him for a day and agreed to meet him at least half way for the good of the country.



It really is sad how half of the country was rooting for him to fail but those that believe in and wish the best for America and her People will root for any President, because if they fail so does America.



I want Biden to do well but he is not capable of matching the Patriotism of Trump.

Whether he is the best ever or not, one thing is for sure - he will be better than trump.

The worst ever president is finally gone. Literally anything is better.

The country and world are rejoicing, we have survived the nightmare of incompetence and narcissism that plagued this country for the past 4 years.

Very good point. The only person I know that didn't do so well these last four years was a liberal friend of mine. After Trump won in 2016 , he pulled all his money out of his investments and deposited into a savings account, and even he did well. He took advantage of the stimulus, and the enhanced unemployment and bought himself a new (to him) motorcycle. The rest of us have done extremely well. Absolutely zero complaints.

You better hope, and everyone else better hope too, because if this guy falls apart which is unfortunately likely, it's going to be supreme leader Kamala rounding up your kids for re-education camps and gender de-assignment surgery

As with President Trump and all past presidents, I hope President Biden is good for the USA and its citizens.

We need to pressure the government to finally end the permanent temporary emergency, that was legislated into 12 USC Sec 95a,b, so to restore the dominance of the CONSTITUTION and due process.

REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT
Americans should be reminded that they were not promised a democracy - a vile system where a majority can legally persecute a minority. Americans were promised a republican form where ALL MEN are born equal before the law (none higher) and have Creator endowed rights that governments were instituted to secure (not tax, regulate, nor trespass). UNLESS you consent to be governed, surrender your birthright, and accept mandatory civic duties in their socialist democracy.
That is a Constitutional Republic if we can keep it. Why anyone would be against that is beyond me? My guess is they have no idea of what a Constitutional Republic is and why our country was founded on that principle. Indeed a Democracy is thee most vile form of governing. Those that wish for that better be careful of what they wish for as they could one day find themselves in the minority.

Constitutional Republic:

A Constitutional Republic is a form of government where the head of state and other officials are elected as representatives of the people, representatives mandated to govern according to existing constitutional law. It is because of this mandate that the elected class in a Constitutional Republic is limited in their power over the citizenry. The United States of America was created as and intended to survive as a Constitutional Republic.

Our Constitutional Republic is separated into three separate but equal branches of government; the Executive, Legislative and Judicial, represented by the Presidency, Congress and the Courts. Because of this no branch has a rein on absolute power thus assuring that there will be checks and balances to the governmental system and protection for the rule of law.

Through the elected representation employed by our Constitutional Republic the influence of the majority is tempered by protections for individual rights as mandated by constitutional law. Our form of government is deliberate in its attempt to thwart majoritarianism, thereby protecting political dissent and individuals and minority groups from the "tyranny of the majority" by placing checks on the power of the majority of the population. The power of the majority of the people is checked by limiting that power to electing representatives who are required to legislate with limits of overarching constitutional law which a simple majority cannot modify.

"A pure unbridled democracy is a political system in which the majority enjoys absolute power by means of democratic elections. In an unvarnished democracy, unrestrained by a constitution, the majority can vote to impose tyranny on themselves and the minority opposition. They can vote to elect those who will infringe upon our inalienable God-given rights. Thomas Jefferson referred to this as elected despotism in Notes on the State of Virginia (also cited in Federalist 48 by Madison):"

I said the same about Obama and was disappointed.

Can we all get together and at least HOPE he is great?
To quote Limbaugh: "I hope he fails". By that, I mean he's the best president EVER. Because his policies are completely opposite of what is good for America.
