YEE HAW!!

45 is now 47.

Well crap! Watching the acceptance speech, it appears he is more of a blow hard than before. I had hoped he'd tone it down a bit. I especially found his first part to be distasteful, we all know what happened in previous administrations and there's no need to bring it up now.

His rubbing Biden's nose in his failures didn't bother me in the least. What did bother me was the band's faux pas when it was time for Carrie Underwood to sing. Left me wondering if someone's wires got crossed and the band didn't have the sheet music for that song. At least Carrie pulled it out of the fire and did a good job on the song.

She was a real rockstar & knocked it out of the park

Trumps first speech I thought was spot on but his 2nd before signing the first EO was……way way to long 

liberals are melting down and it’s glorious, CB1app is closed, all appointments are cancelled, BP shut the entry points down while restructuring, going to see lots of whining and crying from “migrants”

I have a confession to make. I'm either a liberal conservative or a conservative liberal. The pendulum really needs to swing back, but it usually swings too far in both directions. This global swing to the right kinda scares me. Right now, it's going in the right direction, but the pendulum was so far to the left that the momentum may very well carry it too far the other direction.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Trump is Hitler dumbass, but I can see some comparisons in his abilities to stir up the masses.
A lot of corrections need to be made and I'm all in for that, but I hope we don't go too far.

Just to add to that, I'm more of an old school Jeffersonian liberal (you know, before the progessives co-opted the name). The idea that we could encourage Mexicans to come into the USA and harvest our crops (braceros program, torpedoed by Ted Kennedy) was a good thing. I can remember 2 Mexican families showing up every year to work our sugar beets. They were good folks and took their earnings back to Mexico at the end of the season. I think sugar beets are more mechanized now, but many crops still have to be harvested by hand.
As far as to our open borders situation, letting all kinds of bad apples in, I think machine gun emplacements are a good idea.
