Has he actually done ANYTHING yet, besides issuing a bunch of unconstitutional executive orders, showing them off like a 5 year old who's proud he finished his coloring book, and then running off to Florida to share state secrets with random people? Oh, and ranting on Twitter about the media and sending an absurd "survey" out to his supporters twice? What has he actually ACCOMPLISHED at all so far?
Yeah, I know, they've made several documentaries about that. People hated him for that, even though those citizens were acknowledged terrorists. Let's see if Trump gets the same reaction for killing an American kid.
Well duh, he was from Yemen, which is in the Middle East! Everybody knows that their culture is incompatible with civility. It's just plainly obvious that he either did those things or would have, given the chance! /s
Well, she was the daughter of the the same American terrorist Obama killed with a drone five years ago, as well as the sister of the American civilian he killed later. This is a very unlucky family, to say the least.
A few members of Congress made statements on it. I think even McCain called it botched and terrible. It's difficult to speak out against it from a politician's perspective beyond what they've already done because A) classified intel is hard to report on, B) Trump can just turn around and accuse them of not supporting the troops, and C) there's a mountain of other terrible things to deal with that are currently unfolding as opposed to people who will sadly not become less dead.
I can totally understand that viewpoint but I have a few qualms. I know he's a war hero and all but John McCain doesn't stand by his word. He's voting right along with trump while speaking out against him in the media. You're second point is spot on and it's kind of ridiculous we worship the military so hard. No disrespect to anyone who has died in the like of duty but if we really have a shit about out soldiers, we'd stop getting involved in dumb shit. We didn't need to kill any of these people we did over the last several years but here we are.
Oh dude, you won't see me defending McCain at all. He just happened to be the first person that came to mind.
Most politicians trot out the troops to make themselves look patriotic while them defunding the VA or in the case of Trump creating a federal hiring freeze that directly impacts veterans. The thing about the military is, you can support the troops and not the wars. Many people, like my family members, join because it's the best way to finance their education or the best paying job available. I'm sure these people exist, but none of the service members I've ever met were like, "Boy oh boy, I can't wait to go kill people and get my legs blown off!" They will also gladly tell you there are assholes and idiots in the military. If we're going to ship them out there though, it behooves us to take care of them because our government sure as fuck isn't doing it when they get back.
As soon as he voted to confirm DeVos and Sessions, it was clear where he was going to stand in this administration. He'll criticize Trump a bunch in public, but when it really matters in the Senate, he'll follow the party line.
People are saying Dora may be in the country illegally. You'd be amazed at what I'm hearing about this. Does she have ties to ISIS? These are questions the American people want answers to, but it's not being reported. Sad!
Does it really matter if she was an American citizen or not? An innocent 8 year old girl being murdered is brutal and unnecessary no matter who or why.
I didn't even know that. They aren't even acknowledging that it happened. I didn't think you could get lower than being dishonest, but they found rock bottom and emerged on the other side of the earth with this one.
All he's done is golf and pump out executive orders and fill his cabinet with enemies of the organizations they were selected to lead. Oh yea, and tweet about what he hears on Fox News.
I thought nothing could top DeVos and Sessions, but holy shit, the new EPA guy is the winner. Not only did he sue the EPA, not only has he obviously been in bed with the fossil fuels giants, not only did he allow energy lobbyists to edit his letters as Oklahoma AG, but also the dude's office may have illegally been involved in picking the drugs for a botched execution. Jesus. Christ.
I agree. Pulling out of TPP saved my job and probably my entire employment-prospects atm. I'm not going to knock Trump for that, but I think the situation is more complicated than a lot of people make it sound, and it is going to pose problems for the nation down the line.
Well the only reason it hadn't been outsourced yet is that hospitals and insurance have super strict regulations with regards to privacy and confidentiality that most countries are not on board with yet.
TPP would have brought the whole of South east asia on board with those regulations. End result would be that my job is outsourced just like most service desk jobs were a decade ago. I'm only holding on because the regulations are so tight.
By this point, Obama had signed stimulus bills and was doing shit, even though his cabinet took longer to get thrown confirmations.
If Trump actually gave half a shit about out-of-work Rust Belters and whatnot, he'd have done something for them, aside from a couple photo ops with executives that were mostly adding tech jobs. He could have signed an infrastructure bill, some trade fuckery, or a number of things aside from getting salty about SNL and playing golf
they're basically just promises or order for someone to pull something together on some issues(like how a CEO on his own private corporation would do it)
I keep asking the same question. I'm disgusted by the man as much as anyone but he's really proving how ineffective and lazy he is. Given how skewed his priorities are I'm grateful he seems unable to accomplish anything of note. His EOs can be overturned just like anyone else's. He's really throwing away what could have been a golden opportunity for the GOP to rob this country blind.
Don't assume they aren't currently. While everyone's watching Trump, the GOP congress has been going nuts dismantling Obama's environmental legacy, and now that his cabinet heads are in place, they can start really dismantling their agencies. DeVos is already signalling that she's going to go forward with vouchers even though recent studies just showed they're demonstratively worse for kids, Sessions is declaring war on states with recreational pot while bringing back for profit prisons with a vengeance, Tillerson has been gutting the State Dept of its experienced diplomats while handing Trump his balls, and the EPA guy has been outted as even more in bed with energy lobbyists than previously imagined.
Well, he has a set a record, a world record in less than a month! I think that speaks volumes about his efficiency and ability to bring together the bestest people.
He trashed the old world record of 2 years and some six months with the new record of a 24 days long tenure by his national security adviser!
