I didn't vote for the guy and don't like his persona much but I will give credit where credit is due and its just my opinion so don't get to riled up.

He has help cut regulations that have helped the economy. It also has helped companies come back to the States.
Weather we like it or not he did cut taxes, which I'm in favor of as a small government proponent.
No more death tax.
It looks like he has put the hurt on ISIS.
After many Presidents talked about (both sides too) moving US embassy to Jerusalem, its now done.
Has been able to negotiate better deal with Mexico, that helps both countries.
Put the heat on Euro's to take on fair share of financing NATO.
He will now take on the cost of prescription drugs.
Trump is definitely rough and chaotic and not real diplomatically polished and I don't agree with all his positions and would prefer a libertarian President, but I'm honest enough to recognize some accomplishments.
In business I always conveyed to my employees to never get caught up in bad mouthing the competition, as kit doesn't reflect well imo.

Listen Obama & Clinton did some great things too and voters kept them in office.

Trump did cut many regulations for corporations that will open loop holes and allow them to screw employees.

The corporate tax cuts will give corporations breaks. Employees will not see more money. Customers will still see higher prices. CEOs will pocket profits. Middle class and lower class families will suffer.

He didn't help companies come back to the states, he tried to force them to with tarrifs. In fact more companies have left. The tarrifs will only lead to the rise of product prices. Inflation will skyrocket. The middle class will shrink. The amount of people on welfair and other government aid programs will rise.

Isis was already hurting. There wasn't much to left to be done on that front.

Recognizing Jerusalem has Isreals capital was none of his business. Much like a foreign country recognizing a different city as our countries capitol. ( I know D.C. is not a city...really)

Mexico still isn't paying for the wall

Prescription drugs will not get cheaper under Trump. In fact the opposite.

The part where I said, I did not want to type that much? We disagree and I am not going to explain why. Too much typing.

You have made over 17,000 posts on this forum and can't respond to a simple question that wouldn't require much because it would require too much typing? That's pretty funny.

My wife and I are retired and with the new tax bracket we will owe $2800.00 less this year over last. All my kids are seeing more net take home now. If an employee thinks 's he's getting stiffed then he needs to pull up his boots straps and start looking for a new job, seem to be a number of them out there.

The corporation I just spent nearly 40 years with has moved production from plants in China back to Wisconsin and the south. The lower Corp. tax does help the engine that propels the economy.

Yeah maybe ISIS would have whittled down to nothing under Bernie or hillary or Rubio or Oprah? It just seemed that the Generals under this president didn't fuck around much.

I do think drug prices will go down, watch.

We both are entitled to our views and opinions which is great, it can be the premise for constructive change and compromise.

Conservative judges.
Business tax rates more competitive with the rest of the world.
Others in progress.

One Judge happened to die around election time and the republican controlled senate used bullshit tactics to make sure Obamas nominee didn't get in. A second judge retired. And Trump picks the shitty choice in Kavanaugh. Hardly an accomplishment.

Business Tax cuts an accomplishment..hahahaha

Just a hunch, but I wouldn't put it past trump and his mob to have forced Kennedy out so the seat would open up to get someone like Kavanaugh in to help protect trump from the investigation. There was a connection between trump and kennedy's son.

Some questions are of the nature, just asking the question indicates you are not going to understand the answer.
Typing too much is not going to change this. So, Too much typing is a kind way to present the situation, saving the harshness.
GFY sort of serves the same function with a little harshness. Not really harmful.:blush:

Yeah, that seems to be his favorite tag line and yet the mods seem to think it's okay and I get banned for calling someone clueless, lol.

I know. I know. I haven't got banned yet. Some of my posts have been edited or deleted. Which is ok. I have thrown insults here or there when I get heated. A lot of insults are coming from the other side that are left unedited or aren't deleted by mods. I don't assume to know when mods have pmd posters for getting out of order to warn them or what not. I know certain threads have been closed. Several of Marzys. I am almost suprised there isn't a setting in place that automatically closes threads that he starts.

The way you guys are trending, getting people that read the Constitution is far more important than any President.
Kind of like the male Spider, once he has done his duty, 3 or 4 text reading judges, we can move on.

I think it is important to have judges who understand the country today is not the same country it was in 1776. A lot has changed, alot that the founding fathers could not, perhaps some of them would not forsee. Interpreting the constitution should not lay in merely assuming what the founding fathers must have meant. But, reading the constitution with a lense as to how it reflects our country today.

It is of vast importance that interpretations are not made for political gain on either side, but for the good of the country. That its people, not be forgotten.

Yes, yes. What the law says is the function of those we elect, answerable to the same people. Not a few judges.

Barack Obama garnered the most votes a president has ever garnered with 69,498,516.

I'd wager to say this is wrong.

Even if your numbers are accurate, that tax cut cost the American people a trillion dollar deficit. Now, in order to pay for all this massive spending Trump has done he wants to take away medicare, cut back on social security and many other very minor programs that cost very little. Still no budget and he wants billions for his wall that he said Mexico was going to pay for and who knows how much he will want to start doing something to the infrastructure. Where is that money coming from? Also, toss in that these corporate tax breaks haven't "trickled down" but instead have allowed those corporations to do stock buy backs and make the share holders richer. You have been duped HG.

Im just here to hold a sign!

Now thats the funniest yet saddest thing Ive heard from these hearings.
I give the guy props though for at least being honest!

Sign-holders were paid handsomely by Enemy of America Billionaire George Soros to hold the signs they were given.

Dems don't even have enough support to get actual volunteer protestors to turn out for SCOTUS disruption.
