Obama and the left is up to great evil and it is going to get worse even if President Trump is inaugurated. The left has a shadow government set up already, as the liberal media, the public school system, the epa, the IRS, all are under the hateful left. And the dem-rino coalition in DC is allied, with Ryan and McConnell in line with the globals eleitists.

The shadow government to which you refer expects Trump to play by the established rules.

Trump has already shown he will not comply with traditional expectations.

2017, and beyond, will be very interesting.

Some of the domestic actions should get undone right away. None of these things are “permanent.” Trump can undo them quickly, although a few of them might require help from Congress.

As for the diplomatic damage, particularly with Russia, it might be best to be patient and quietly undo the damage over time. Trump will no doubt have a better relationship with Putin, and they can work things out like reasonable adults.

If McConnell and Ryan blow this venue of power like they have since 2010, they will be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. If the recent election didn’t send a message to politicians about what the American people want from DC, they are incapable of learning or leading. Time to throw the dunces out on their a$$.

“The Antiquities Act gives the president the authority to create monuments, but does not provide explicit authority to undo them.”

Since it’s silent on the issue wouldn’t the sane assumption be, then, that you COULD undue just as you did them them rather than you COULDN’T. That would seem to me to make more sense.

Obama in his final days is turning into President Clark from Babylon 5. A total bastard who came into office with assassination and false pretenses and triggered a civil war. Clark destroyed EVERYTHING good and noble about Earth. In the end the good guys rallied and were about to arrest him. Clark shoots himself in the head but not before turning the planet's defense grid upon Earth itself. His suicide note:

"The ascension of the ordinary man". Sounds like the rise against the elites to me. Can't have that so Obama and those like him are launching a scorched Earth in spite.

Their goal is to punish us, the Trump voter.

It’s how they roll.

And I, for one, am not opposed to retaliation. Tradition be damned. Hurt ‘em.

Trump must fight King Obama like a real street fighter. He must tear apart that Muslim terrorists and remove all of his executive orders. Then using drain the swamp in all branches by removing most of the personnel and replacing with workers that will take the oath to defend America and do a background check.

King Obama has declared war on America and we must slap that turd with legal destruction when Trump reaches the day after the 20th. Unleash the DOJ on the Clintons and hit hard and fast.

Whether it makes sense or not, it’s best to wipe out everything possible. Wipe Obama’s legacy like with a cloth. Government is too big.

[require help from Congress.]

President Trump will have trouble with Congress as they are filled with dem-rinos like Lindsey Graham and John McCain and Ryan and McConnell and many other rinos who I suspect are being enriched by the monsters of the left who have spent over 10 trillion of taxpayers dollars. Where did and does the money go, I wonder. Is it possible that a goodly amount went to special interest groups of the left and their allies , the rinos. There is no accountability in government now days.

Heres hoping Trump’s DOJ goes after the muzzie and his lawless administration with a vengeance. So many crimes of treason to choose from.

I wonder what the evil left is capable of as I see what their predecessors in Nazi Germany and in Russia and in China already do and will do.

Is it a coincidence that these things happen around Christmas in America and Hanukkah in Israel. It has happened to many times before.

No incoming president has been or will be... That is why they have security advisers, military, experienced diplomats in their cabinets and as advisors, as well as Senators and Congressmen that all discuss the issues. It is sophish to expect an incoming administration to have all the answers immediately, especially when the current Admin is doing their best to be obstructionist to the new Admin.
This will be an interesting transition, and very telling to the American public and the world.

I predict that the 2018 Republican landslides will be unprecedented. :-)
