Yesterday’s speech by the president scored huge with Americans and I suspect will advance his agenda. It was a good and effective speech but it was made stronger and more effective by the actions of Democrats in the audience.
Pro-Tip if you can’t stand and clap for:
A terrorist mastermind who murdered Americans transferred to the US for Punishment
The release of a US Citizen held by Russia
A 13 year old who beat brain cancer
You have no business in politicts.
Bottom line, this illustrated a truism about the dems and Trump, If they had treated Trump as a normal president from the state they would not be in the state they are today.
And frankly if they treated last nights speech as a normal speech and didn’t try stupid stunts and refuse to clap for good things Trump would not have been able to play them.
Winston Wolf:Get it straight buster – I’m not here to say please, I’m here to tell you what to do and if self-preservation is an instinct you possess you’d better fucking do it and do it quick. I’m here to help – if my help’s not appreciated then lotsa luck, gentlemen.

While I can not speak for the administration as I am not a part of it as an American who
Thinks that Ukraine has a proper Casus Belli vs Russia
Belives Russia should not have invaded
Believes Russia’s goal was to conquer the entire state and not just protect ethnic Russians
Believes it’s up to Ukraine to decide if it wants to keep fighting
Believes it’s up to Ukraine to decide if it wants to make deals with the US or not
Let me say the following:
I have absolutely no problem if you wish to provide Billions of Pounds/Dollars/Euros to Ukraine to support their war to eject Russia from Ukrainian territory.
I have no problem if you wish to provide thousands or tend of thousands of troops to fight for Ukraine against Russia.
Feel free to do both or either if you wish and let me wish you and Ukraine the best of luck in this endeavor.
For the last 35 days we have seen an almost unbroken streak of victories for the Trump administration with only slight temporary setbacks in the courts that are likely to become solid wins as well.
Tonight on the House floor Trump just got his biggest win by a single vote and if you want to know how he managed it think of this key moment from the movie/play 1776
In the drama Ben Franklin calls for a poll of the Pennsylvania delegation with Ben Franklin voting for independence and John Dickerson voting nay and the final decision being up to James Wilson who decides he doesn’t want to become “The man who prevented American independence.” and thus votes Yea! (Historically Franklin arranged for two delegates from PA to miss the vote thus giving him the majority needed to carry the state for independence but I digress…)
Something much like this happened in DC on Tuesday.
As I noted Donald Trump has been on a huge winning streak and his actions continue to poll incredibly well among the general population with well over 50% backing him and among GOP voters the number is in the high 90’s.
Why GOP members will be hesitant to fight Trump: “Republican [voters] love Donald Trump the way Grimace loves Ronald McDonald”… Trump’s net approval with the GOP is even higher than it was during his 1st term. Also, GOP voters trust Trump over Congressional GOP: 58%-22%.

Bottom line Trump is REALLY popular so once Thomas Masse of KY noted he would be a “No” no matter what that meant that every single other holdout had the potential to become THE member of the GOP responsible not only for Trump’s first defeat of his term, but be the man or woman who gave the Democrats a lifeline when they are drowning.
In short their political career would be over.
That is the position that Trump and Johnson put them in and nobody proved willing to jump off that bridge.
So Trump gets another win. and the GOP agenda goes on.
