Nomad…. you rally need to lay off of the weed…. It’s numbed your brain.
Trump has undone much of the harm that Obama inflicted in eight years in less than three months. He is mostly championing a refreshingly conservative, common sense agenda.
It’s Christmas every day.
Trump accomplishments in 82 days. No amount of pot will make them go away. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Social policy
Legislation signed
March 27, 2017—One of the four Congressional Review bills that Trump signed into law that day repealed Obama’s Blacklisting Rule, which would have required firms contracted by federal agencies to release every claim of unfair labor practices concerning them – something which would have given unionized contractors an upper-hand. On the same day, President Trump signed an executive order repealing the contracting rule.[43]
Executive actions
January 20, 2017—On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order that would lessen Obamacare’s burden while Republicans work to repeal and replace the failed bureaucratic law.[44][45]
February 9, 2017—President Trump signed three executive orders pertaining to law enforcement. The first cracked down and strengthens the law against international crime organizations, the second deals with anti-law enforcement crimes, and third with finding a strategy for reducing crime in general, “including, in particular, illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and violent crime.”[46]
February 22, 2017—President Trump rescinded former President Obama’s pro-transgender guidelines for schools receiving federal aid that are subject to Title IX.[47] A day earlier, the Trump Administration announced it would discontinue Obama’s pro-transgender policies.[48]
March 27, 2017—President Trump signed an executive order repealing Obama-era requirements for federal contractors, along with signing a bill that day on the same topic.[43]
April 3, 2017—Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered the Department of Justice to review Obama’s agreements with local police departments. Sessions made this order to give back local control to police departments.[49]
Abortion
Legislation signed
Executive actions
January 23, 2017—President Trump signed an order reinstating the Mexico City Policy, which defunded International Planned Parenthood and other organizations that promote foreign abortions.[50][51]
April 4, 2017—The Trump Administration halted U.S. funding of the United Nations Population Fund, which has links to inhumane abortion programs such as China’s one-child policy. Instead, the $32.5 million was shifted to the U.S. Agency for International Development.[52]
Gun politics
Legislation signed
February 28, 2017—President Trump signed a bill into law (Public Law 115-8)[53] repealing a Social Security Administration rule adding mental disability determinations to the background check registry, subject to a person applying to be removed from the list.[54][55][56] Congress had passed a law requiring federal agencies to search their records for people who were “mentally defective”, and the Social Security Administration had published their method of gathering names on December 16, 2016. The regulation would have added the names of disability beneficiaries who have a mental illness or are not competent to manage their own finances, potentially leading to the removal of Second Amendment rights to many perfectly competent, mentally healthy citizens.[55][57] By signing the resolution of disapproval, the Social Security Administration cannot come up with different criteria for supplying names to the background check registry for 10 years.
Executive actions
Immigration, illegal immigration, and border security
According to data released early in Trump’s presidency, illegal border crossings decreased by 40% in the first month of Trump’s presidency – a remarkable achievement, considering that illegal immigration usually increases by 10 to 20% in January and February.[58][59] In March, illegal immigration had fallen by over 60%.[60] It was reported in April that illegal immigration levels had fallen to the lowest point in 17 years.[61] Illegal immigration dropped so much that U.S. Customs and Border Protection was able to close on of their temporary holding facilities.[62] This drop was probably due to the Trump effect.[63]

The first one included ordering the “immediate construction of a physical wall on the southern border,” the hiring of 5,000 additional border control agents, and ending “catch-and-release” policies for illegal immigrants. The second order called for hiring an additional 10,000 federal immigration officers, re-establishing the Secure Communities Program and other local partnerships, making the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants a priority, directing the State Department to use leverage to ensure countries-of-origin take back illegal immigrants, and stripping federal grant money from sanctuary cities and states.[64][65]

March 6, 2017—President Trump signed a second executive order concerning the temporary suspension of refugees and others from certain high-risk countries after the first one was blocked by the courts.

Size of Government
Trump spend much time rolling back regulations, particularly those created by Obama.[111] In the first six weeks of Trump’s presidency, over 90 regulations were repealed, whether through executive orders, Acts of Congress, or other means[112][113] — clearly keeping his promises.[114] He has successfully made use of Congressional Review numerous times to roll back Obama-era regulations—even more than expected.[115] Prior to Trump’s presidency, the Congressional Review Act had been used only once successfully, sixteen years prior.[116]

The new law repealed the FCC rule and prohibits the FCC from enacting a replacement for 10 years without giving the FTC jurisdiction to regulate internet service providers’ privacy practices.[124] Part of yet another series of bills undoing other Obama regulations.[125]

January 28, 2017—Trump signed an executive order banning administration officials from lobbying their federal agencies for five years, as well as banning them for life from lobbying foreign nations and political parties.[154][155]
January 30, 2017—Trump showed he would not tolerate incompetent leftist administration officials when he fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates (a left-wing Obama holdover) when she refused to defend his refugee and immigration ban executive order.[156][157] Trump emulated Ronald Reagan’s firing of the striking PATCO workers in 1981 by doing so,[158] contrary to the mainstream media spin.[159] That same night, Trump replaced the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (another Obama holdover) with a more competent official who had a reputation for enforcing immigration laws.[160][161]
March 10, 2017—Conservative attorney General Jeff Sessions asked the 46 remaining U.S. attorneys appointed by Obama, arguably the most left-wing president in U.S. history, to resign.[162][163] One of those U.S. attorneys was the failed Zachary Fardon, who was lax in his prosecution of gun crimes (Sessions directed the Justice Department to increase prosecutions on gun-law violations and to reinforce harsh sentences for such).[164] When one of those attorneys, Preet Bharara, refused to resign (likely for political gain), he was fired.[165]

Non-legislative or policy achievements
Trump has been bold enough to meet with conservative, right-wing figures who stand boldly for small government and conservatism, unlike many other Republicans. For example, he met with Alex Jones, becoming the first president to have ever met with Alex Jones (the meeting occurred during the campaign).[168] Also, Trump has had very strong relations with Nigel Farage of the United Kingdom Independence Party.,[169][170]
Trump has stood up to political correctness and the left-wing consensus in numerous aspects, most notably for rejecting political correctness and communicating directly to the public rather than the mainstream media. Also, Trump has been bold in rejecting the term “happy holidays.”
January 20, 2017—Trump became the first president to say “radical Islamic terrorism” in his inaugural address.[28][171]
January 27, 2017—Vice President Mike Pence became the first vice president in United States history to speak at the annual March for Life march in Washington D.C.[172][173] Additionally, Trump senior advisor Kellyanne Conway also spoke at the event, and Trump himself strongly expressed his support for the march.[174][175]
March 1, 2017—The Trump Administration played a large role in successfully helping prevent CIA officer Sabrina de Sousa from being extradited to Italy.[176]

The courts
Supreme Court
President Trump announcing his nomination of Gorsuch, January 31, 2017.
On January 31, 2017, Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.[178][179] The nomination was well received by many conservatives.[180][181] Others, however, most notably Andrew Schlafly, disagreed with the nomination due to concerns about Gorsuch’s position on abortion.[182][183] The Senate ultimately confirmed Gorsuch on a vote of 54–45, even though the GOP was forced to initiate the nuclear option and remove the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees due to Democrat obstructionism.[184] Gorsuch assumed office on April 10, 2017.[185]

So ALL the news agencies in the known English speaking world are wrong and ONLY Faux news is right?
WOW!
Talk about conspiracies!
I am done here, in this non-debate.
America is so divided, I think the only way it will get better is a civil war!
Brother, don’t even bother to engage with the Trumpets, they live in a completely delusional world,
an alternative reality with alternative facts,….not my words, came directly from the Trump administration inner circle :rofl:
and btw did you hear the latest idiocy from Spicer ? …..what an complete, utter idiot, the perfect spokeperson for this amateurish administration. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Look, in the end you can show 100s of clips where Trump clearly lies right there on camera and the Trumpets will still say that is all a fabrication of the liberal media :rofl: :rofl: …..hey, even Shepard from FOX news called the Orange clown out for being a continuous liar.
It’s truly sad to watch the Trumpets going by their days :rofl: :rofl: all the more fun once that house of cards comes crumbling down,…lets get the party ready :biggrinn: :biggrinn:
I love this comment. “President Trump consulted with his Top Military and National Security Team before taking action. Obama consulted the Magic 8-Ball and an 8-ball of cocaine before not acting.”
You just can’t find free entertainment like this. With so many Trump successes the Liberals are in a permanent stupor at this point. The SCOTUS confirmation was like a cherry on top.
It’s Christmas every day with Trump!
Undoing one bad Obama regulation at a time. By the end of Trump’s first term is will be just like we skipped a president after GW. The end of an ERROR. Personally, we are looking at lower electricity prices as all of the coal fired plants come back on very soon. Luckily, here they only partially moth-balled them after investing in clean coal technology. That moron shut them down anyways. One stupid thing after another with Obama. After the Syrian strike a few of the smarter Liberals are getting a glimpse of what was wrong with Obama but their mental illness just can’t let them accept it after a decade of brainwashing by the lying Liberal MSM.
And the beat goes on…………………………
:2cents:
The entire nation is absolutely killing me with this Republican Democrat liberal b******* that I keep hearing constantly..
Let’s get one thing clear we launched 59 tomahawk missiles in response to a war crime that we never gathered evidence on..
When asked what evidence we had we reply by saying we cannot expose it for our own safety..wtf?
The great orange one himself speaks of the distrust in our media and the bs pulled by our CIA…
Yeah we are going to trust our intelligence so much so as to assume that Al-Assad was guilty of this heinous act… so certain in fact that we are willing to commit our own War crime and attacking them without proper evidence.
I mean I don’t want to hear any of the red blue liberal or snowflake b******* anybody might have in mind..
This is the simple s*** that your mother taught you about two wrongs not making a right so what in the actual f*** is not clear?
Let’s point out another laughable morsel of the hypocrisy surrounding this situation..
We are about to launch War more or less hinging on the idea that these poor people esp children were murdered, while many folks backed the president and deciding that they could not come here to avoid being murdered.. 😳
I am not a liberal I am not a Democrat nor am I Republican..
I will cling to my guns until you kill me and take them from me..
But I will also stay the f*** out of everybody else’s business and allow them to live free like they were intended to I don’t care who they f*** who they marry where they pissed where they’re from who they worship or any of the rest why you might ask because as I said in the first statement I cling to my guns until you kill me and take them from me…
Tired of everybody tossing around statements like snowflakes and everything else and then acting like pussies on the flip side bitching up and down to defend what they believe stay the hell out of everybody else’s business and live free like you’re supposed to…
If you’re going to fight for something fight for right and wrong not legal and the illegal and not for some side of some team that you think you might be on.
If you get shot you’re going to bleed the same blood is that human standing next to you..
If he loses his mother he will cry the same tears you would in a similar situation….
We are one we all need to unite and stop acting like fools allowing the rich man to wag the dog..
I am a father of six children I work my ass off and I try to stay humble I also try to stay out of these kind of things but I just felt compelled to at least voice my opinion as we now sit on the Eve of Destruction as Barry McGuire may put it..
I love my children with all my heart and I do not appreciate our military industrial complex taking the Liberty putting our entire country and those I’ve Loved At Risk nor do I appreciate people making light of it well we piss off Nations in possession of things like the Tsar bomb capable of wiping out massive areas in an instant…
War is not a joke we are not children these are not little green army men they are people
Actually the war was fought and won already here in the US. The losers just can’t accept the results. It’s time for them to leave. The nation went back to the traditional constitution and system of justice although the removal of Progressives will take some time. Even the SCOTUS confirmation process was returned to how it was before the Progressive Democrats changed it. The protests and riots are going on deaf ears. The tolerance for the Progressive doctrine and Liberal value system grew weary and was removed. The changes are only beginning. Amazingly. it is a global war with Brexit, then Trump in the US, Philippines, Netherlands, and soon to be Le Pen in France. Progressive Liberals and their values are being stomped out world-wide.
So ALL the news agencies in the known English speaking world are wrong and ONLY Faux news is right?
WOW!

I am done here, in this non-debate.
America is so divided, I think the only way it will get better is a civil war!
LOL,
trumpets are exactly from the same mold as the Fat Cheeto, ……Just always blame anybody/everybody for their shortcomings.
You surely deserve each others :biggrinn: :biggrinn:
You truly are a Liberal then or a Libertarian that is really a confused Liberal. I view/read 20 different news sources daily and a third of them are from outside of the US and five of them are far-left fake news sites to see what the latest lying talking points are. When someone repeats them it negates them as having any real opinion of their own and little intelligence besides just being wrong. The lying Liberal media are cranking out crap 24×7 on Trump right now so its no wonder you are clueless.
So ALL the news agencies in the known English speaking world are wrong and ONLY Faux news is right?
Okay,
So ALL the news agencies in the known English speaking world are wrong and ONLY Faux news is right?
Then don’t act like one.
“I AM NOT A LIBERAL.”
Well, you obviously don’t listen to anyone.
“I AM NOT A LIBERAL.”
