#45: Heading in to Week 2

Geez, what a two weeks it has been. Some days it seems like I've awaken from a bad dream. What did HE do while I was asleep? The claims by the press today include that #45 is leaving the public and his party in the dark while his advisors try out different ideas and tactics.

First there are the Executive Orders (EO) which are not really executive orders. Then those executive orders that are not executive orders are dismissed by a judge. then those dismissed orders which are not orders are reinstated  by #45 only to be declared void by another judge in Federal Court. AND that's only one issue at hand. Visa, illegals, green carders and refugees are all lumped together in a huge pot with no defining who by the grace of our illustrious #45 will be allowed to enter the Pearly Gates of the United States of America. Heaven forbid you were a fringe candidate with a bit of question on your resume and you left the USA , Visa intact, for a long weekend in the Middle East. You are possible stranded in a state of limbo.

Then there is the Cabinet and various post which are still to be filled being delayed by those damn Democrats, cursed out by the GOP for using the same tactics the GOP used to stop #44 from getting the Supreme Court position filled. How dare those Democrats!

To date only 6 nominees have been approved. More than 2 dozen are filled with interims or left vacant . These include the vitally important  Dept of Energy, Dept. of Education, Dept. of Health and Welfare Services, etc. etc. The Democrats vow to continue their foot dragging in the proposed appointments so this could go on for quite some time.Or new guy, #45 has 4100 administrative positions to fill including 1240 that REQUIRE Senate confirmation. Only 3 dozen have been ANNOUNCED.

Now the GOP wants to REPAIR not Repeal OBAMACARE.I question my memory. Wasn't this one of his key running points? To immediately REPEAL the disaster known as OBAMACARE, oh yeah, and build the Wall Day 1. Funny how there in NO talk of the WALL this week.

The other morn #45 had a meeting with some of the "swamp" folks who he was ridding us of. They all got nice recognition as the "Best and Brightest". Now they are his economic advisors. The same folks who bankrupted us in 2007. Who can forget Jaime Dimon and the others for what they did to the economy and the young folks holding mortgages. Thanks guys for a job well done. Let's see how well they will protect the little man again in 2017. First item discussed was taking steps to undo banking restraints. Yippee. Dump DODD-FRANK Regulations. We are screwed.

New Sanctions on IRAN. Last Friday the Iranians fired a few missiles.We threw out a few words of caution. Iran didn't like that or our ban on their travel here so the Iraians banned us from going there. Hence, #45 issues mote sanctions.And now they know the "true" face of The United States.

Israel, his buddy, the country he vowed to protect is now on the back burner for attempting to build 2100 homes in an occupied area. #45 like it, was advised against liking it so he re-upped Obama's plan following UN Sanctions.

What a week!
