“You can’t seem to grasp that the election is not next mo”

They just don’t get it...they have no idea what political capital is and how it’s used. All they want is shoot, shoot...fire, fire...charge, charge!!! Damn, I’m tired already:) What bugs me is the MSM is running this as a defeat for President Trump, and these people around here are going right along with it.

When I first came around here, I thought most people here were politically savvy...turns out I was very wrong...never seen so many, get so whacked out, so quickly, over nothing at all.

The hysteria since Trump was sworn in—right here, on this site—has had to be seen to be believed. It’s as if people were ready to panic over Trump breaking all his promises before he even took his hand off the Bible.

In fairness, conservatives are used to being betrayed. Plus, the Trump haters have been chanting since Trump entered the primaries that he wouldn’t keep any of his promises. The easily frightened believed much of what they heard, so confirmation bias is at work.

Trump makes deals. That’s what he does. He made a deal with voters. He said, put me in charge, and here’s what I’ll do.

He never promised to do it all in 100 days. But God willing, he’ll have enough done by midterms to give the Democrats heartburn and fits, by turns.

Then he’ll have two more years to do the rest. In the meantime, it would be nice if the panic-button-pushers could ease off a little. Their gloom and doom isn’t helping anyone—least of all themselves.

What bugs me is the MSM is running this as a defeat for President Trump, and these people around here are going right along with it.

As much as people decry the bias of the Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself), many Trump-bashers here parrot their narrative—apparently more willing to give the Media the benefit of the doubt than the President. Very revealing.

Is the President's signature a foregone conclusion? Has he said definitively that he will sign it?

I'll wait and see what the President has to say about this CR, because if he is conceding too much by signing it—as many of his supporters claim—I suspect there is a longer-term reason for it.

Despite the fact that the President has earned our trust and loyalty many times over, there's just no end to the hysterical negative "hot takes" which erupt at every bit of news...
