The Heritage Foundation, FAIR, Cato, von Mises Institute, AEI, RAND, CPAC, etc, etc, will all get their shit passed and pushed through effortlessly.
Much of which won't be ever undone.

And the river opens for the righteous [5x]
Someday
I was walking with my brother
And he wondered what's on my mind
I said what I believe in my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And we can't turn our backs this time
I am a patriot
And I love my county
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family
The people who understand me
I've got nowhere else to go
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday
And I was talking with my sister
She looked so fine
I said, "Baby, what's on your mind?"
She said, "I want to run like the lion
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
Burning in my heart tonight"
And I ain't no communist
And I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat
And I ain't no republican
I only know one party
And it is freedom
I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot
And I love my country
Because my county is all I know
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday
And the river opens for the righteous...

(675 posts)When he realizes that few people are excited about him or find him to be inspiring. Being president isnt about grand, generic proclamations. Its grueling, tedious, boring work and involves being bitched at constantly. This moron is in for a rude awakening
