$41.5 million. The all but doomed GOP is outdoing the resisting dems. What do you know about that?

The Koch blockers and other "citizens united" are laying a money trail for the remnants of the GOP once Trump et al is charged criminally.

The squeaker in Georgia has the money-bags in panic mode. Judges are starting to hone in on the bullshit gerrymandering too. They know they are safe till at least 2020, hence the panic to preserve what they have in 2018.

!00 days are gone and nada. Will they even accomplish anything by the next election? Coal jobs? Grand re-right of the tax code? A better health bill? Are they fcked already?

I'm saying yes.

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

This was the pendulum swing to the far right. It will cause the swing to the far left.

Any of you guys watch the news? You might not like what he has accomplished so far but he has accomplished more than any President in my lifetime has accomplished in his first 100 days and hit the ground running on day 1.

The list below comes to mind:
- Illegal immigration down 67%
- Jobs reports and all economic indicators are up
- Gorsuch confirmed to Supreme Court
- We have withdrawn from TPP
- Approved Keystone and Dakota pipelines
- Hiring freeze on federal jobs
- For every new regulation, two have to be rolled back
- Put a ban on administration officials working as lobbyists
- Contractors putting proposals together for border wall/fence construction
- Has multiple initiatives in the works to limit trade manipulation by competing countries
- Has done everything in his power to suspend immigration from countries with limited or hostile infrastructure and leadership and high concentration of terrorist activity.
- Has North Korea on defense for once

Is it an "accomplishment" if it's bad?

Those aren't all good.

He's 0 for 10 on his own 100 day "contract with the voters".

More people showed up at the capitol to see Bill Nye today than attended his inauguration.

Losing.

Quite a few of the achievements I just sited were on his contract with the voters. Like them or not, he seems to be checking them off the list.

Mmmm, all I did was disagree. That's a thing here in the good old USA.

Pretty funny.

The jobs reports were actually revised down.

The wall will be three times more than the trump estimates.

Oil has to be at $100 a barrel for tar-sands fuel to make a profit.

Running gas lines through aquifers and local water supplies really isn't a very good idea.

The hiring freeze was lifted.

The regulation thing is just silly.

There is no legislation for dealing with imports or exports other than the changing of the rules to make the US seem further in the hole.

The largest terror attacks in the US post 9-11 were committed by American citizens; the largest attacks in Europe were committed by Europe citizens. All European citizens are free to travel to the US anytime they please. I won't even get into the fact that people on the no-fly list are able to buy any gun they want.

North Korea has been launching missiles for years, but yes, you are right, they have been ramping up since trump took office. The idea that you see that as a positive is disturbing to say the least.

All 10 of his legislative goals are unmet. He's an amateur, and it seems he's a slow learner as well.

Does NAFTA effect the Keystone pipe line, and all ten jobs it creates? It's Canadian not 'merican. Aren't we suppose to hate it if it aint 'merican? Aren't Canadians a bunch of socialist snowflake entitled tit suckers?
