America is on edge at this moment. Trump’s executive orders have sparked outrage and protests across the entire country.
People are concerned about their futures and the futures of their families. Politicians are here to make it better while they represent the people of their district and state.
Yeah, that was actually a joke. While people think about what America is going to look like in the coming years, politicians are here to make everything as difficult as possible
Democrats are salty that Republicans are trying to put through their own Supreme Court nominee when Republicans denied Obama’s nominee last year.
So, they are going to do what any mature adult would do. They plan on holding out on all possible nominations that they can, including filibusters. Democrats, if you wanted control of the Supreme Court nominee, maybe you should have won back the majority or maybe even the White House. That’s just a clue.
At this point, instead of focusing on actual issues, they’re just going to be as petty as possible while wasting everyone’s time and money. Let’s hope this doesn’t come out of taxpayer money.
Meanwhile, Republicans are salty that they lost the White House for eight years so they’ve thrown themselves behind Trump, which means instead of standing behind everything they said about Trump in the election, they are now going to support him without question.
I think that the nation’s president either sits back and watches this with popcorn in his hand or he literally has no idea what’s happening.
He’s busy annoying the prime minister of Australia, Chris Hemsworth, er, Malcom Turnball and Mexico’s president, Enrique Nieto. Those are our allies that we might need someday, so it’s totally okay if we stomp all over them for a bit.
It’s just a little backyard playground, if Trump is mean to you, that means he likes you. And it’ll be just in time for Valentine’s Day.
At this point, I’m waiting for Speaker of the House Paul Ryan to stand up and declare war on Mexico just so he can be one of the cool kids at school.
Also – yes, there’s more- a White House national security advisor has said that they are officially putting Iran “on notice,” which Trump echoed on Twitter.
Let’s be honest, we’ve all put someone on notice before. I’ve currently put the Westminster Dog Show on notice because they are now allowing cats in their show. So, it’s now a dog and cat show, but it’s still called a dog show. Let’s just hope they don’t put the dogs and cats in at the same time because that could be disastrous.
Trump and his mean girls entourage would just like you to know that Iran is officially going into the burn book.
This has all happened in the span of a week and there is much more that is sure to come over the weekend. We haven’t seen a presidency quite like this one, whether you agree or disagree with his policies.
