Well, it looks like we are WAY past Trump's "first 100 days" to do all of these miraculous things and outside of filling a stolen Supreme Court seat, there has been nothing accomplished of any benefit to the country whatsoever.
First up we have the Republican debacle of the AHCA. Republicans have only had EIGHT plus years to arrive at some type of consensus as to how to fix the problems with Obamacare (which they could have done easily over the past two years, but decided to let a certain segment of the country suffer in order to use Obamacare as a major campaign issue). Sadly, it worked. Now, the Senate (with no Democratic input whatsoever), is trying to craft something under the "cover of darkness". EXACTLY, how our democracy is supposed to work. Not!.
Where are we with that much needed Muslim ban? I mean the one that is likely not needed and was the work brain child of our resident and "white supremacist/racist" co-president Bannon. Yes, I mean the one that has already been struck down Twice by the Courts and will likely be struck down by the SC as well. Now, before you "hypocritical Righties tell me how much we need to be protected by terrorists, tell me outside of the "fake news" Bowling Green Massacre, when is the last time - since 9/11 - that we have experienced a coordinated terrorist attack in this country?
How about that Mexican Wall that MEXICO is going to pay for? Where is that?
How about the "much needed" tax reform bill?. where is that?
Wasn't Trump supposed to repeal NAFTA? Where is that?
I seem to remember Trump telling us all that if we elected Clinton, we would be electing a president that would be mired in controversy. Looks like we did elect a president that is, and will for some time, remain mire in controversy. And 99% of Trump's troubles are self inflicted wounds as a result of "rookie" mistakes that he continues to make. If anyone in the WH had enough "backbone" to tell Trump "NO", then his WH might actually be able to work on something substantive instead of constantly being in a state of damage control.
The bottom line s that that Republican have no idea how to govern for anyone other than the wealthy and privileged. They now control the House, Senate and White House and yet cant seem to get anything of substance passed within the chambers that they now control. Even when they are trying to pass something, they do it without hearings and under the "cover of darkness" because they know full well that their agenda will hurt many more Americans than it will help.
If Republicans would stop spending so much time "hating" gays, LGBT's, and poor black folks, and actually start "caring" about suffering and hungry children, the elderly and the indigent, then they might actually be able to improve their image and actually accomplish something. Sadly, I am not going to hold my breath. There is still way too much money for Republicans to make by screwing over the "working class" voters for them to start thinking about anyone other than themselves.
That said, rest assured that the overwhelming MAJORITY of them will certainly be seated on the front row at their local place of worship this Sunday morning. It is an unwritten rule of Republican politics that they "be seen" attending services. They believe that it somehow bolsters their image of "religious superiority". They could not be more mistaken.
