Many of my fellow America First conservatives need to take a chill pill and calm the hell down. I get the frustration. I get the irritation. We’ve waited decades for justice. We’ve waited decades to use the power granted to us by the American people to reshape this country back into something like it was rather than the gross, formless blob of neo-commie failure it has become. But this Gramscian Rome wasn’t built in a day, and we’re not going to burn it down overnight, no matter how hard we fiddle. Start taking “Yes” for an answer, conservatives.
Let’s take some of the more common gripes,

Kurt is more optimistic than I am. Republicans don't have the balls to do what must be done.
He's spot on about My Man Dan Bongino, though.

Sorry, Kurt, we've been told to go slow, so nothing right now, it'll come later, etc. for too long. We've gotten to a critical state. We're finding out just how much waste, fraud, and abuse has continued for decades and decades, and the Pubs act like they're also just finding out. They've known for decades, and they looked the other way. They've passed a few things, but they should be passing a bill a day to get caught up. All we can count on them to do is hold hearings that go nowhere. We're tired of grandstanding, going on news media to tick us off by telling us what' wrong. We already know! We're also tired of them acting like the dems are in power when Pubs have the numbers. So, you take a chill pill and calm down yourself, Kurt. Don't get it twisted, we're not frustrated with President Trump. It's the rest of our electeds (and even some on his team, and I'm not referencing Dan or Kash) that are playing us in our faces. President Trump has earned our trust; they have not. When they start racking up wins, maybe we'll calm down; but that time ain't now.

Mr. Schlichter said that Mr. Trump has four years....
That he does not have YET, because there is a possibility that just a year and half from now republicans may be over confident and stay home. If that pitfall is overcome and things change in his favor that country might be saved.
Going into further debt due to unfunded mandates bu raising the debt ceiling is going to be necessary in the long run (because those DOGE savings and cutting the fraud have not been put into place) but will be real savings down the road.

Folks, observe the financial crisis that is unfolding in Japan. It gives a good preview of how things will be in America - very soon when the poop hits the fan here, too. The 2008 financial crisis here was just a short walk in the park.
IMHO, it is already too late to stop the financial calamity that looms here. The President understands this well. So do the chicoms. This is why Trump is ordering his team to devise and implement an emergency plan to save the dollar from extinction. Hopefully the House of Rothschild will buy into it.
Kurt does not understand the bigger picture and the R family who just happens to own and control most of the world's central banks including our own Federal Reserve.
Yes, it is well and good to give the federal government time to right the ship. But there is no more time. It has been over 100 years since the Woodrow Wilson days when he steered the United States firmly to socialism, Roosevelt's creation of the social security system in the 1940s, and Lyndon Johnson's creation of the Great Society in the 1960s. The US budget's hockey stick curve has passed its inflection point long since.
So, the pubbies have the most unpleasant task of re-racking the dollar while keeping the federal government solvent and keeping the economy moving forward all at the same time. The federal entitlements will need to be eliminated or substantially curtailed. The dims couldn't give a flying flip about these and couldn't be happier that they aren't in charge right now.
Kurt, I love ya man, but are the deep state, globalists, dims, pubbies, people in fly over country, and you all ok with this? How much longer must we sit on our dead behinds writing comments on L.Com before America before a modern-day financial armageddon is here.

One question, do you feel more confident now or a year earlier when we were subjected to a babbling moron who couldn't even read his speeches and a bunch of unknown shadows behind the stage were telling him what to say and do and what color painted footsteps to follow off the stage? Meanwhile, Kamala led in all the polls.
I can understand why we are so impatient, we have had our expectations raised when the burnt-out suburbs of Los Angeles were completely rebuilt by Mayor Bass and the insurance companies. Lahaina is once again the thriving city of beach bars and beautiful people walking around the tree-lined streets. Oh wait, no they're not.

I trust Pres Trump to do the right thing, but I don’t trust the Republicans, or too many of his selections.
Having a President surrounded by to many unreliable cabinet members is kind of like, well, the 2016 Trump Administration.

In other words, shut up, lay back and take it. Your betters have this under control.
The days of me trusting my betters is long over. A grifter with an R after his name is no better than one with a D. They are all protecting their own scams at my expense.

We get it Kurt. Prosecutions take time, well, only when the targets are Dems, right? Say what you will about Pelosi but she kept her caucus under control. Rs - not so much. You have senators like Hawley and Murkowski kvetching about Medical cuts. Can we re-visit social welfare programs, most coming into law back in the 1930s and then the 1960s such as Medicaid, Head Start, etc? Rs in Congress = great at oversight hearings, but not getting legislation written and then passed.
