Trump Defeats Pile Up

February 10, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

First Read: “Every president gets humbled in office, but never as early or the way in which all of the defeats and bad news piled up Thursday for Donald Trump.”

“The problem with this humbling coming so quickly for Team Trump is that opponents now smell blood in the water — just three weeks into the presidency. And that, plus the town-hall protests across the country we saw last night, suggest some potential trouble ahead on the GOP’s top priorities (tax reform, Obamacare overhaul). Trump and the GOP can certainly turn things around; we have learned NEVER to count out Trump. But a new president doesn’t want to see these kinds of defeats — all of which could have been prevented or mitigated — this early.”

...there is more damage that has been done that hasn't been even addressed yet:

- DOJ directives reversing all of Obama's executive orders during his entire presidency.
- Directing Treasury to revers Dodd-Frank
- Abolish two directive for every new directive an agency makes
- Restructure NSC and Homeland Security
- Create plan to kill ISIL (He calls it ISIS) in 30 days
- Bans all administration officials from lobbying for five years, some for life
- Authorized border wall
- Stripped federal money from sanctuary cities
- Pushed Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipeline construction past the point of being stopped
- Expedite all environmental protection impact studies for everything
- Ban on federal funds for international groups to peform abortions
- Withdrawing from TPP
- Withdrawing from Paris Environmental Treaty accord
- Hiring freeze on all federal agencies
- Process to start privatizing the Affordable Care Act (making it the Unaffordable, no-care Act)

And we got one win in court. Big woop.

We need to identify venues, preferably in the 9th Circuit, and get EVERY ONE of these illegal orders reviewed and reversed. And we have to make sure that Gorsuch is not confirmed. If we have to, we should actually sue to make sure that the senate requires at least 60 senators. Why can't we do that? If we can get THAT ruling in our favor at the 9th Circuit, then we can legally keep Gorsuch from taking the bench, especially if the Supreme Court doesn't get at least five votes to overrule that. This should be our biggest fight now!

WE NEED TO DO MORE PEOPLE!!! Get in EVERY Trump supporter's face EVERY moment of EVERY day! This is our survival we are talking about!!
