Each time you think Democrats have hit the bottom of stupid, they break out a shovel. Or a drill. Or a backhoe. It’s really something, considering they already start off in the Mariana Trench. But there is no bottom for them to hit. Like someone smoking through a trach hole or a junkie angry over being revived with Narcan, the left simply cannot quit being what they are. The residual damage done by Democrats is occupying much of the first month of the Trump administration and far too much of what the country has to do every time they are tossed out of office.

Taxes will go up if Republicans don’t make the Trump tax cuts from 2017 permanent. Were it not for Democrats and their lies about how federal revenue is collected, they would have been made permanent in the first place. 

On their way out the door, Joe Biden’s handlers imposed countless new regulations and tried to cram through spending on their pet causes and interest groups, all of which has to be found and stopped before it happens and the money is gone – which is why you get an executive order freezing so much spending. That leads to lawsuits because that’s what the left loves to do and how they get most of their political victories, which only gums up the works for getting more things done.

That’s why President Trump's initial rush of actions is so important this term. Last term, Democrats flooded the zone with lawsuits, preventing the implementation of Trump’s agenda and catching them off-guard. This froze them and hampered them. 

This time, with Trump being the one flooding the zone, he is overwhelming the left’s ability to focus – they are not good multi-taskers – and find themselves reacting to everything, which makes their reaction to anything less impactful. They are firing wildly, without focus, at everything that moves. Sure, they may hit something here or there, but they’ll miss much more of it.

The media can’t even report effectively on everything Republicans are doing; they’re too busy trying to figure it out for themselves.

It’s beautiful.

Donald Trump fired the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the left-wing activist organizations masquerading as a quasi-government agency. The whole thing should be dismantled, but until that is possible, cutting off its head is as good of a place to start as any.

It’s just the Trump administration or even Republicans plowing through the obstructions to liberty and prosperity Democrats build, it’s everyone. DEI is being ripped out of corporate American, root and branch. The biggest electricity company in Georgia is pushing to keep its coal burning plants because it’s the most effective way to meet the state’s energy demands. 

There is a rebellion, albeit minor, happening across the country. The progressive agenda, the parts that were imposed in city council meetings people weren’t attending, and pieces of state legislation no one read are being steamrolled, repealed, or ignored to the benefit of everyone. 

California’s devastating wildfires are now contained, and all it took was a new President pressuring and overriding their worthless Governor’s insane water re-direction orders that dumped hundreds of millions of gallons into the ocean. New President, a week and a half, and problem solved.

None of this is lost on the American public, and none of it is lost on the left. It scares the hell out of them. That’s why you end up with stories in Political like, “How Trump Could Snatch a Third Term — Despite the 22nd Amendment.” 

Politico’s “legal editor,” demonstrating the fact that title means nothing, declares Trump may magically override the Constitution by one of these ways: repealing the 22nd Amendment, “exploit a little-noticed loophole in the amendment that might allow him to run for vice president and then immediately ascend back to the presidency,” simply run again assuming no one and nothing – including the Supreme Court – would object or stop him, or just refuse to leave office.

It's so dumb of an idea you’d expect it from a high school newspaper. 

Democrats are melting down, unable to work at the speed of Trump that they’re lost. Republicans are getting things done, addressing the issues Americans really care about. Just imagine how far advanced we’d be if we didn’t have to waste time undoing all the damage Democrats created every time they’re in power.
