What did the Republicans accomplish the last time they had the Trifecta?

I can't think of anything. Just a wasted two years with such a gift and golden opportunity.

GOPE got us tax cuts and regulatory reform.

You're not wrong. Getting somewhat acceptable justices on the courts is about all we got. Trump kept us out of any new wars and we did get a tax cut, but nothing of significance was done legislatively other than that.

I feel the dems do much more with trifecta historically. And it’ll hurt 2028 if the republicans don’t get off their arse and accomplish something of significance.

Dems do more whenever they please. 2017-2019 it wasn’t really unified and most of Congress is uniparty.

You mean when Paul Ryan and Turtle had control?

He didn’t surround himself with the Avengers in 2016

Same can be said for the Democrats.
Maybe, this time will be different. We sure hope and pray as a nation that it is.
We need a coalition of the just to fix things.

Exposing Paul Ryan as a weakling and a fraud for not defending our southern border.
A true Never Trumper.

You haven't been listening to the MSM and the echo chamber.
We need an Autist to make this a meme.

They had Paul Ryan in the House and Mitch McConnell running the Senate. Other than sealing a judicial legacy, no wars, high median income, and very low illegal immigration, not too much happened.
I forgot, inflation was low, energy was dirt cheap, the Strategic Reserves were full and flights from China were stopped immediately due to info a virus had been created by China in a lab in Wuhan called the China Virus. Its name was later changed to Covid.
Did they ever change the name of the Hong Kong Flu that emerged back in the day?

Nothing. And that’s exactly why Thune and Cornyn need to get the frick out of the way. This isn’t time to play around, we need to get shite done.

Tell me you don’t pay attention to politics without telling me. It’s okay to pay attention to the election but if you’re going to stay on this board you need to learn some history. That first term was wild, he was being fought by the media, democrats and rinos. He still got stuff approved at a great rate. You will see even more this time. I think Trump state away from the photo ops he was obsessed with last time and this time he knows he’s on a timeline and he’ll with tirelessly to codify these issues instead of executive orders.
The people have spoken and it’s time for the house and the senate to push through as much as possible. Also these democrats in purple areas will work with him more than last time.

Man, you are slow. Yeah, I pay attention to politics, so there, I've told you. Now...my post was about the Trifecta and what the REPUBLICAN party accomplished with that two years of leverage. It was not about Trump and just Trump. I hope the REPUBLICAN PARTY doesn't pi$$ away this opportunity to push through a strong legislative agenda as they failed to do during Trump's first term. Now, do you understand? And...stay off my lawn, Whippersnapper. My voter registration card is probably older than you.

Not much. The Speaker was a RINO, and so was the Majority leader.. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

I’ll post a few links. This is just a general overview of what Trump accomplished. When it started there was so much chaos, they were spying on him (he moved out to have the White House remodeled for fear of spying), Russia hoax, firing Comey, Rinos fighting him, media was crushing him, they were constantly trying to destroy his appointments (Jeff Sessions), i don’t like how he was focused on meeting people in Trump tower (photos) and he wasn’t focused on policy like he should….. etc etc etc.
He still accomplished a lot but too much by executive order. He’s learned his lessons and now we see Massey and others wanting to have books ready to go on day one.
-tax cuts
-repatriation
-judiciary appointments
-trade policies, no nafta, no trans pacific partnership. Passed USMC
-border
-embassy in Jerusalem
-save our sees
-first step act
-human trafficking
Could go on and on. The guy got results and should easily outpace his first two years in the first presidency.

Nothing has happened since 2016 within the GOP, zero, zilch.
This time around, start paying attention now so people 8 years from now won’t have to explain things to you like you’re a fricking infant.
Much appreciated from everyone who pays attention and cares to think
