    More winning!

    Here's to all the alt-lefties who keep saying Trump hasn't done much since he's been in office.

    To all you alt-lefties, read it and weep...

    HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAH!

    So these 40 pieces of legislation were almost entirely EOs that blocked Obama's EOs.

    So so far he has nothing.

    Where oh where is that health bill?

    Where oh where is his wall?

    Where oh where is his budget?

    How come he can't even fill his own staff?

    What MAJOR piece of legislation has he enacted?

    Hint: so far nothing.

    He bragged no other president signed in more... but it seems Clinton and HW Bush and Jimmy Carter all signed more.

    Sounds like his no one had a bigger attendance than he had which he spun for two weeks until reporters gave up trying to get him to admit the truth.

    He's allowing China to eat our lunch as they forge ahead in the alternative energy industry. Most of the CEO's of the big companies say he's doing a really bad job. He filled the swamp with Wall Street banksters. He's complicate in the eventual murder of Americans that will be deprived of health care. His deregulation of environmental polices is going to poison the air, water and soil. He's also a thieving liar of the worst order that should have been kicked to the curb on the grounds of Trump Bogus University scam. Every word out his mouth is a blatant lie and gross exaggeration. He's using the office he holds to un-Constitutionally profit off of for himself and his parasitic grifter family.

    The 40 pieces of legislation are unremarkable. Federal employees can use ubber. The government can keep functioning for 6 months. Agencies are instructed to look for ways to save money. Now I am personally relieved he hasn't done anything of much substance, but to pretend that he has done something amazing is not supported by reality.

    So are you also claiming he has kept to none of his promises? Did you forget all of the conservative judges he has elected into office?

    Do you remember he telling us on day one he would label China a currency manipulator?

    I do remember him saying he would have time to play golf.

    What legislation was that?

    Just so you know Obama had many stupid pieces of legislation that needed to be removed. Hard for Trump to do his job when he has to clean up the mess of Obama.

    Just so you know Trump has many stupid pieces of legislation that will be removed.

    None will be very important because Trump hasn't done anything important.

    For months on twitter, Trump has been telling us how much he's done and how great things are going.

    You are slow on catching up on his news. Trying following him on twitter to keep yourself up to date.

    It's pretty rare for more than one major bill, like healthcare reform, to be signed in a single year. I don't think setting the bar that high really serves anyone well. The fact is, Trump has not accomplished much yet, for all his irons in the fire. But the narrative of getting little done, completely goes away with just one major legislative accomplishment. This pathetic championing of EO's as some sort of accomplishment, is obviously ridiculous. An EO requires nothing but a pen and paper. The decisions made via EO's can be good or bad or indifferent. But, saying they are a political accomplishment is pretty silly. It's like saying you are awesome because you wont at solitaire.

    He has done his job for this term: nominate a textualists judge to the Supreme Court. The rest is irrelevant.

    The court holds near complete power. Congress and the Executive are secondary considerations. Don't even bother with the states. SCOTUS is where it's at.

    The only major thing Trump has done is getting Gorsuch on SCOTUS, but he owes that victory to Mitch McConnell's leadership and Harry Reid's idiocy.

    These "40 pieces of legislation" are primarily EOs and useless endeavors. He has control of both Houses of Congress and can't work with them to get things done. So far a pretty ineffective Presidency.

    Why should the state be allowed to invade our privacy and drug test us? I mean, the right is supposed to be about personal liberty and responsibility. More support for my assertion this is the most vicious, vacuous and ideologically ruthless version of the GOP ever seen.

    Wrong, he's signed useless executive order. Not one bill with an entire republican congress in 6 months. Pretty pathetic

    People can't seriously be this dumb to think signed 40 piece of legislation LOL

    TPP died day one. That was a major accomplishment in my book.

    The system resists change, it's by design.

    If you want to receive my taxpayer money via welfare, I don't have any problem with attaching conditions to it, such as drug testing. If you want to use drugs, don't do it on my dime. That's ALL about personal responsibility.

    No, it isn't. It's all about legislating responsibility. It's also about refusing the people the right to self medicate and consume. All for corporate profits, no less. You know, those big pharma co and big tobacco co stand to lose a **** load of money if Marijuana is ever legalized - of course, those companies losing money is anathema to Paul Ryan and Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and all the other big name politicians taking hundreds of thousands in donations from big Pharma alone.

    Tell me, how is it a barbiturate is not schedule 1 but pot is?

    It makes no sense at all.

    You should not, by the constitution, have the right to tell me what I can and cannot consume.

    This is one of the points where the right wing is so hypocritical it is embarrassing.

    1. It's legislating responsibility because so many people have no sense of responsibility of their own.

    2. If you want my money via welfare I do feel I have a right to tell you you can't consume illegal substances. I'm not advocating randomly drug testing innocent people on the street. Making it a condition for receiving welfare is a different issue. We also have laws limiting how much a person may drink and legally drive. Do you also feel this infringes upon your constitutional rights?

    3. I'm an independent and not a "right winger", so if you feel I'm hypocritical, don't take it out on them.

    Nowhere in the constitution does it say anyone has the right to enforce any responsibility on anyone else. Can you point me to the area of the constitution that gives you the express right to do so?

    By this logic, I have a say in who invade then also. I also have a say in what businesses do, since I support them by paying the taxes they are exempt from. I also have a say in who we give military contracts too. I also have a say in locations of businesses, hospitals, etc.

    Yes, I feel any infringement upon my right to self determine and my right to consume is infringed upon by the illicit and illegal war on drugs as well as the unconstitutional restriction of the people to consume and live freely via this unconstitutional prohibition.

    Fair. But I also feel the vast majority of right wing politics is enforcing responsibility via legislation by pitching a freedom narrative. Which is quite hypocritical given the "drug warrior" mentality of a lot of right wingers.

    More over, yes, you're being hypocritical.

    Is welfare expressly in the Constitution either? Or anything about drinking and driving?

    Well, yes, actually you do have a say in those things, via your elected representatives.

    You clearly have an issue with drug laws. How do you feel about laws limiting how much alcohol a person may consume and legally drive?

    So you have no reply to my first point; duly noted.

    Elected representatives? Clearly you misunderstand the point. None of my representatives speak for me, when it comes to the issues I noted. So I have no voice, I am taxed and my desires are not represented by those taxes.

    As for liquor laws; I support legal limits. Because DRIVING is a privilege, not a right.
