It’s not a record. Floridaman has a long way to go to have appointed the most federal judges. Reagan has the record, with 383, followed by Bill Clinton with 378 and then Obama with 329. Through Jan. 18, 2020, 187 judges nominated by Floridaman have been confirmed by the Senate.

Your numbers for Reagan, Clinton, and Obama, were for two full terms. The 187 number (which Trump did not come up with on his own) is referred to as a record for this point in his administration. Again, he is parroting published stats, not concocting some number he made up and which he doesn't even believe.

The U.S. military warned, in a report issued the day Trump spoke, that ISIS remained a dangerous threat and the killing of Baghdadi did not degrade the group’s capabilities. “USCENTCOM told the DoD OIG [Office of the Inspector General] that following the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group’s capabilities in Syria remained the same,” the report said. “USCENTCOM said that ISIS remained cohesive, with an intact command and control structure, urban clandestine networks, and an insurgent presence in much of rural Syria.”

He didn't say ISIS was totally destroyed. He said that its territorial caliphate was 100% destroyed. That could mean various things regarding its geographic ability to project power. Mostly his opinion, with his usual ability to exaggerate. But it is certain that ISIS was very SEVERELY damaged and its momentum reversed--much more so than was happening before.

My post was about Pelosi saying not one page had truth in it, and that it was courteous to rip it up. You pivot to all of Trumps shortcomings.

You're a bore, and you're a pussy.

You just keep believing in what Floridaman claims, he might deserve a new name soon with some of his policies "Orange Obama"

Trump turned the SOTU address into a game/reality TV show, complete with prizes. I'm surprised that he didn't throw loaves of bread (or paper towel rolls) out to his audience.

Statistics, as Mark Twain said, are pliable. Pete F demonstrated that in the 10 "lies."

I suspect the 15,000 lies Trump has supposedly told are a result of much plying--a mish-mash concoction of twisted stats, Trump's errors, mistakes, opinions, exaggerations . . . I also suspect that if anyone was frivolous enough to search the number of such "lies" that Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, Obama, CNN, MSNBC, Chris Matthews, Don Lemon, Any Cuomo, etc., applying the same standard applied to Trump of what is a lie, that all of those folks and entities, and just about any other politician, would have told many thousands of such "lies."

The SOTU has been that for years. The Founders never intended for anything other than that the President "shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” It wasn't meant to be a formal, yearly, presentation. And certainly not the political circus that it has been for many decades. Trump is just following the tradition that has been created by our self-serving politicians.

Considering that, Trump did an exemplary SOTU.

Of course, it is necessary for you to describe it as something like a Democrat pork show with sops for the pigs.

Coming from the master of the immature insult?

It took the height deprived imbecile a day to decide that if he was not a moron, I must have insulted his mother and then his head exploded.
And even then he only got insulted because the Trumplicans egged him on.
He's definitely sitting in the low chair watching the world whiz by over his head.

Actually, as you surely must know, at the time he said "no casualties" he was stating what was told to him by our military. And at that time there was no evidence of trauma. So he did not lie.

But, of course, it is necessary for your narrative to lie about it.

Now tell us how he didn't know Stormy or that Cohen was paying her off and that the Access Hollywood tape was fake.

Why? I'm satisfied with pointing out that your list of 10 Trump lies was a lie--I would say that your calling them lies was merely wrong, but since you often call Trump's mistakes lies, I think turnabout is fair and so apply your standard to you.

As usual your only rebuttal was conjecture, supposition and inference.
AKA spin

I actually rebutted your spin. You didn't rebut what you call my spin.

Pete might engage you in one of your circular debates because he has either not learned the spin away brings you back to the beginning where black and white are shades of gray and mere opinions. I have learned it’s pointless because it just goes on until either the person you debate with gets tired of the game or it is back to square one. The beauty of a game is you can choose not to play, but spin on brother.

And yet you choose to play (somehow under the pretense that you're not playing), but even so, you are unable to point out how I was wrong.

I might also point out that this post is your way of playing YOUR game. Just say stuff.

That's good news . . . if it's true. No doubt there will be more threads coming that will test your resolve.
