No, it wasn't.
But today most of us have more take-home pay, unemployment is down, GDP is up (after your hero said that GDP growth of 2% was the new reality), and for the first time since I've been alive, we have a SCOTUS that will likely rule according to the constitution as they're supposed to, rather than basing rulings on personal opinions. |

Just about all of them. Here, in DC, and on TV. Just about all of them. I cannot imagine what they will do if they don't re-take the house. |

"the party has become the party of George Soros,"
Jim again showing he fondness for kool aid and tinfoil hats
Just look at the pavlovian response when Soros , Hillary , benghazi, migrant caravan , fake media, cnn ,due process for kavanaugh but chant lock her up
but no such response is generated if you mention us debt , executive orders as mentioned by pete threatening the world with more nukes ask where is the health care , arm sale to saudi's after killing a journalist
Trump says one thing on the white house lawn.. then same day he goes to a campaign rally completely and contradicts himself
as if he thinks no one else is watching ??

i’ll ask again, who are the moderate
democrats at the national level? Nancy Pelosi? Spartacus Booker? Lie-awatha? compare them to Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and John McCain and Lindsay Graham? Please.
Trump is an idiot. There is a lot more to the GOP than him. In fact, if it wasn’t for kooky and uncivilized liberals, he never would
have won the nomination, not ever. He was nominated specifically, to out-sleaze the liberals. Stunning that you don’t see that. Ifnthe legt could have been fair ( not fawning all over, just fair) to McCain it Romney, there would be no president Trump. Kind of funny when you think of it that way, eh?
as to the debt, john and i have both saidnits a huge issue, so zero hypocrisy. did you complain if debt during the obama years? i bet not.

I am surprised to see Lie-awatha was not on the mailing list...…. seems odd to have left her out when you look at the list, if you believe those who are connecting the dots for us. Either way, mailing pipe bombs, to anyone, is the work of a deranged individual or individuals.

it’s all trumps fault. because when maxine waters tells a crowd
to make republicans feel “ that they are not welcome anywhere”, see, that’s brilliant and noble. but when trump does it, he’s subhuman.
no shame. zip.

Trump has signed more executive orders than any president in 50 years, funny that it upset him when previous presidents did it.
Jul 10, 2012 12:11:10 PM Why is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority? |

As far as Pete's claim.
At one point I had read that he was on pace to be the highest. As of the first year or so, he had more than Obama at the same point.
His point remains valid though; he has been largely ineffective at working with congress as the great negotiator to get much through with the GOP controlling (I know not with the 60 vote majority) both houses. He beat on Obama for this on the trail and through twitter as being ineffective because Obama needed to use EO's.
If the GOP looses the house he will be reduced entirely to twitter rants and Executive orders however.

Again, Nope
he is on pace for about 200 (50 per year) in his term, he is currently at 85. Jimmy Carter was a 1 term president and he had 320 (80 per year) |
