Back in the saddle

I'm cautiously optimistic, especially since he has a Republican Senate and likely a Republican House. He will face intense opposition from the swamp. Cleaning up the DOJ, the FBI, the IRS, and all the other three letter entities will take time, distracting from other equally essential tasks a President faces. Still, we have to start somewhere, and this is far better than what was in place.

My sentiments as well. I would have thought two years ago that I would be quite excited at this result, but I am a little more withstrained at this point. Hopefully the next four years will see some improvement, but I can't help but think about the larger picture and what happens after the next four years. The general shift that I am seeing still seems precarious, but I can't try to swallow the worries of the world either. I've got to take what victories may be had with thankfulness.
 
I'm under no illusion that the President elect is infallible in his selections to fill various posts. However, in his last go round, he did manage to dump some of them pretty quickly. Perhaps he learned from his failures. We'll see. Admittedly, he dumped some appointees who were highly competent and who demonstrated they were truly committed to the Constitution; Mr. Trump demonstrated a significant flaw in that he valued loyalty to his person more than he valued loyalty to the Constitution. I suspect this reveals that he is not as well versed in the founding principles of the nation as could be hoped. Still, he is immeasurably superior to the alternative with which the nation was presented. Moreover, I do understand that a distressing number of the senators and representatives are less than honourable or competent. Still, I should hope that the potential for a measure of stability exceeds the potential for harm that the alternative would have presented. The people must realise that the price of continued freedom is constant vigilance.
 
Here's a thought that I'm not sure of but If I understand right the Constitution says that a Pres. candidate can't run for more than 2 consecutive terms but in his case, he failed in getting elected for a second term so I'm wondering if he gets a reset and can run for re-election after this term?

I believe it states 2 consecutive terms or 10yrs total. So, this is his last rodeo. Praying he and the others make the most of it. Dan.
 
Here’s what I’m looking for from my elected representatives;

Mass deportation of illegal aliens
Close the border to illegals
90% of the federal government abolished
Lower taxes
Elimination of most federal agencies
Federal control of western lands abolished
Increased oil production
Increased mining
Increased timber production

How much of this he can accomplish remains to be seen. I realize this is a big elephant to eat but it starts with the first bite.

Extremely well said.
I believe this has shown that a majority of Americans feel the same way.
I hope that with the opportunities we’re presented with now that we do well and in four years we may be able to have Vance as President. We’ll see what the future holds…
I fear that with the divide caused by the media between the two parties may be too large to close in four years, and has begun an anti constitution movement by the blue.
I hope I’m wrong.

The blue has been communist for years.
They hide it as socialism but that’s just a polite way of saying communism.
