America is on edge at this moment. Trump\u2019s executive orders have sparked outrage and protests across the entire country.<\/span><\/p>\n

People are concerned about their futures and the futures of their families. Politicians are here to make it better while they represent the people of their district and state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yeah, that was actually a joke. While people think about what America is going to look like in the coming years, politicians are here to make everything as difficult as possible<\/span><\/p>\n

Democrats are salty that Republicans are trying to put through their own Supreme Court nominee when Republicans denied Obama\u2019s nominee last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, they are going to do what any mature adult would do. They plan on holding out on all possible nominations that they can, including filibusters. Democrats, if you wanted control of the Supreme Court nominee, maybe you should have won back the majority or maybe even the White House. That\u2019s just a clue.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, instead of focusing on actual issues, they\u2019re just going to be as petty as possible while wasting everyone\u2019s time and money. Let\u2019s hope this doesn\u2019t come out of taxpayer money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Republicans are salty that they lost the White House for eight years so they\u2019ve thrown themselves behind Trump, which means instead of standing behind everything they said about Trump in the election, they are now going to support him without question.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think that the nation\u2019s president either sits back and watches this with popcorn in his hand or he literally has no idea what\u2019s happening.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s busy annoying the prime minister of Australia, Chris Hemsworth, er, Malcom Turnball and Mexico\u2019s president, Enrique Nieto. Those are our allies that we might need someday, so it\u2019s totally okay if we stomp all over them for a bit.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a little backyard playground, if Trump is mean to you, that means he likes you. And it\u2019ll be just in time for Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, I\u2019m waiting for Speaker of the House Paul Ryan to stand up and declare war on Mexico just so he can be one of the cool kids at school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also – yes, there\u2019s more- a White House national security advisor has said that they are officially putting Iran \u201con notice,\u201d which Trump echoed on Twitter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest, we\u2019ve all put someone on notice before. I\u2019ve currently put the Westminster Dog Show on notice because they are now allowing cats in their show. So, it\u2019s now a dog and cat show, but it\u2019s still called a dog show. Let\u2019s just hope they don\u2019t put the dogs and cats in at the same time because that could be disastrous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump and his mean girls entourage would just like you to know that Iran is officially going into the burn book.<\/span><\/p>\n

This has all happened in the span of a week and there is much more that is sure to come over the weekend. We haven\u2019t seen a presidency quite like this one, whether you agree or disagree with his policies.<\/span><\/p>\n
