One out of every 3 days he has spent "vacationing" at one of his resorts. Trump investments are struggling with all the bad press. Probably more worried about his family business then the American people?

And you wonder why he can't get anything done.

Yes..................ICE ICE baby!!!!!! :drnkfr

I think its good to have a strong relationship with Russia, but if your doing it behind closed doors, and asking for favors to advance a political agenda, or for personal gain, I find that treason.:eek

Seems like something is happening. Probably will disappear with a few unexplained suicides next to national monuments. ;)

Must be one of the companies Obama, under his first term, helped create in 2011. They sure don't have a great track record, but they have a nice website.:eek


Did I get it right?

Whoever it is, they better not cheat on him and next time, give Krueger of the WSJ credit for that epic analogy. :D

I'd bring back Newt. He maybe a strange cat, but that guy knows mediation.

Ryan should have never brought this bill and Trump shouldn't have trusted him. The Trumpster got a taste of DC politics and just how difficult his next four years will be.

It's time to focus on illegal immigration!!!!! Our boy Sessions is almost ready. :drink

Dipstick Trump is now threatening to ignore conservatives on tax reform. Instead he said he will court democrats.

RINO.....

Billionaires always seem to be able to buy themselves new wives and probably Speakers too.

Perhaps the stimulus bill that kept the Great Recession from becoming a full on Depression is the better example of a First 100 accomlishment.

Trump is doing a good job. As expected it's a tough job to change the ways of DC and he's battling it hard.

So much bullshit coming from the MSM and detractors, it's hard to focus on the positive strides that have been made.

The healthcare bill shouldn't have passed and didn't. It was rushed in my opinion and needs work and review from more persons in Congress. Even Dems. Put something to gether that covers as best it can of what will work long term and meet as many demands as possible. This cannot be done in a short period of time or we'll end up with another bad piece of legislation.

Congress overall needs to wake the fuck up and quit playing Party games with the nation's needs. Everyone needs to stop the negative mud slinging and work towards the common good of the nation. It can be done, but never with the politics as usual we are seeing.......

Don't you find it at least a tiny bit ironic or hypocritical for citizens who historically have been R's and wanted their party to do everything in their power to absolutley not work with Obama in any way to now decry and whine about the "politics as usual" and now their view is "Everyone needs to stop the negative mud slinging and work towards the common good of the nation".

Because that new sense of cooperation and patriotism sure seems disingenuous that if the other guy is in power, we should be obstructionist, but if we are in power, those "fuckin babies" need to work with us for the "common good".

To follow your line of thinking is to keep repeating the trend. At some point in time the bullshit of partisan politics needs to end. You want to be the voice of reason and appear to be the in the middle, yet you continue this same argument using it as the norm. I've yet to see you call out that change from the general party modus operandi needs to cease for the good of the nation. You instead basically defend it as some form of "human nature". It's in reality a bad habit the government has come to accept. And yes, habits can be changed, and this major habit needs to be changed, not accepted

Me, I'm fed up with partisan politics and my vote for Trump was a vote to get leadership favorable to the nation as a whole, not some the same old divided mess which DC in large part has created by "buying" votes. Our Constitution has been trampled upon as the laws on the books have been skirted and ignored. By both parties.

It's as simple as that, we're being played by our own government aided by the media. Unions and minorities have supported a party that has kept them either broke and unemployed due to crappy legislation and bureaucracy chasing away jobs, or retiring to face pension plans that are failing.

The nation's voters have sat back and listened to fluff designed to get fat cat politicians re-elected. R voters have put people in office that have failed to do the jobs they promised. It's 2-party failure and no matter who has been in office, Bush, O, Clinton, have failed to lead and force Congress in some way to work towards solving the nation's issues.

The old saying, "The buck stops here.....", is long overdue and hopefully an outsider like Trump can stop the train and force it back on the correct track. No hypocrisy or irony there, just the desire to end the madness and negative repeating cycle.

Well at least you got the date's right.

In regards to that being something "great" obama did well, I don't agree. Banks took the tarp money because they were forced to. They didn't unfreeze consumer credit, real estate continued to dive, people lost homes and unemployment rose to over 10 percent. The big banks repaid their tarp money quickly which shows they didn't really use it as it was intended.

To be honest though it had to be done and it had to be passed. Markets all over the globe were in panic and a shit show was happening. It was the only thing we could have done to stop the toilet from flushing was to plug it with paper lol.

For the record Grandpa, I am not blaming Obama for the housing crisis he did walk into it coming into office that damage was already done at that point. I am just saying he didn't save the day like you make it out to be.

Fair enough but it raises a question of when you came to this epiphany as this new view is perfectly antithetical to your view during the Obama administration?

Why didn't you make the same argument during the Obama years as opposed to consistently arguing to obstruct anything Obama or the democrats proposed regardless of objective analysis for merit?

Where was your "bipartisanship" then?

President Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do if elected ....... something unheard of in politics. So if you think he's not doing a good job then you didn't agree with his campaign promises in the first place

It was not possible under Obama as he came to office with the, "We won, deal with it," attitude. He was adamant on doing things his way and had his own agenda.

Trump has come in with a completely opposite target. "Make America Great Again" is a polar opposite approach, as it's intent is to unite and do what is best for everyone going back to the FF's blueprint. He cannot force the D's to change and join in by working towards a common goal somewhere in the middle if necessary. Congress is the obstacle being challenged by Trump and the D's in particular won't back down from being partisan.

O-Care was written and completed without any outside opinion and was declared as such. It was not good legislation and designed to fail into a single payer system.

Your post overlooks, or better, ignores these simple points.....Again, you're staying in the past.

Obama and his fucked up agenda(and all the rest of Washington before him) got us into this mess you,Gramps and all the others are to blind or just to stubborn to see it really? Ryan's a douche that's obvious Congress won't work with trump at least he's trying!! That fucked up Obamacare should never have passed and if you guys think that was good for the country then common sense has passed all you buy!

Couple points.

I suspect if HRC had lost the popular vote but won the electoral college, you would not be in here posting about how we need to give HRC a chance. You would not be arguing to give Garland and up or down vote. Nor would you be posting rebuttals to WTG's statements that HRC would end the republic and she and her husband run a child sex ring out of a pizza parlor back east. It would be posts identical to your posts about Obama and HRC in the past.

I find it hard to swallow that the campaign run by, and the presidency operated to date is that of an individual whose "intent is to unite and do what is best for everyone". Different people have different expectations of the behavior and statements of a leader attempting to unite. I do buy that Trump's intents are consistent with yours, and I buy that you think that is best for everyone, but there is at least half the country that does not think his views and your views, let alone my views, are what it best for everyone.

Lastly your comment "O-Care was written and completed without any outside opinion and was declared as such", is interesting as this is a perfect description of Trumpcare.

My post does not overlook, or ignore these simple points, my post is a simple observation that if you are a Trumpkin, you think it is better and more uniting now, when in reality, it is simply how you like it now. Not more bipartisan, not more constitutional, not more uniting, not better, just more to your liking.

No different than the Obama years were more to the liking of the other half.

I'm not convinced that Trump could have passed a 20 question quiz about what was in his and Ryan's bill.

I am however a firm believer in math.

You can not have declining premiums and declining deductibles if you allow people to buy healthcare after they are sick, and then give them unlimited coverage. And Trumpcare had both those features. So Trump may be trying, but his try was on its merits a complete failure at addressing the main problem of rising premiums and deductibles.

Your post justifies what you have been "preaching" from the beginning. That the nation is divided on lines that can never be crossed. People are too different to ever consider compromise and doing what is best for the whole.

What you won't admit to per your own words above, is Trump has, is, and will reach out to those who oppose him. He has and will open up lines of communication. This is proven from how he has gotten endorsement from black leaders and even open support by community activists like Quanell X here in Houston. Quanell stated during the campaign how the D's and HRC have let the black community down and how Trump has pledged to fix what he can in inner cities and bring jobs the black community can fill. Add in some traditional back districts in PA and OH and there is at least open minded thinking towards a DC outsider coming in and bringing positive ideas and a beginning to change for the better.

You observe as you will, but all I observe is more of the typical cynicism that keeps the nation divided. You aren't so much in the middle as a self imposed rut......And a rut to your liking as well as you are entrenched in it..

Batta bing, batta BOOM!!!!!! :drink

Right on cue.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Monday he'll begin punishing sanctuary cities, withholding potentially billions of dollars in federal money and even clawing back funds that had been doled out in the past.

for some of you Obama fans, critisizing Trumps first 100 days in office. saying he's doing a bad job, get a grip. Rome wasn't built in 7 days.:rolleyes :rolleyes Here's your prez words> Obama stated that he should not be judged by his first hundred days: "The first hundred days is going to be important, but it?s probably going to be the first thousand days that makes the difference."

What I stated above is that Trumps statements and behavior are inconsistent with a man wanting unity.

He has certainly reached out to others subsequent to those statements. Quite frankly he is either a typical politician or bi-polar.

At the same time, Obama made all sorts of statements inconsistent with a man wanting unity, and then reached out to others. Obama truly was a typical politician.

So I reiterate my point, you view Trump different and a unifier because you agree with his positions, not because his treatment of the opposite side is any different than Obama's.

The rut you speak of is the rut where each side equally thinks they are trying to unify and the other side is not, when in reality, both sides are not but can not see that.

Regor gets it. As he has repeatedly stated, he simply wants his way and the other side to suffer. Regor is just like people from both sides, he's just honest about it.

Personally I wished he would have done tax reform and the deregulation stuff first...

I like how he signed the Keystone deal...

get the economy moving a little try and get companies to move money back first...

maybe get some money in peoples pockets so they feel better about themselves and in return in him...

to me the immigration and the wall business could wait...( it was rushed in my opinion)

Healthcare is another animal with alot of problems that needs to be addressed... when I dont know...
