    And while not a lot, there have been instances where the courts have blocked something Trump tried to do.

    And then we have had some R's that have also, IMO anyway, voted against something like healthcare, because of the fact it was Trump. That's truly what I believe about McCain and the healthcare bill. Just one thing to point out for that example, and it's a big one!!

    So while not nearly everything, those comments regarding things being blocked, it wouldn't have me roll my eyes. It would make me wonder, and come to the same conclusion I have on some things. Perhaps not for everyone, and not everyone sees such things, or don't want to. Similar to other "good things" that have been accomplished by him and or even republicans in general at times.

    I don't think you "hate" Rev, I don't think it's who you are. But there is a LOT of hate in our country since Trump won the election.
    Why'd you SNIP and leave OFF the reason the EYEROLL icon is there in the 1st place.

    Trump told us all that HE WOULD get everything done and FAST BECAUSE he's "the best" DEAL MAKER.
    He didn't say that he'd get things done "as longs as the left, the courts and John McCain and other Republicans and the fake news media LET him Jim.

    If you want people to be honest about what Trump does good at least be honest about what Trump said he'd do and ALL the ways he's failed to do so.
    Let Trump man up and accept at least some responsibility for a change. And not JUST blame OTHERS for his shortcomings, missteps and ineffectiveness.


    And let's be real Jim, some congress people on the right explicitly stated that they'd block some things from Obama ... practically Just BECAUSE it was from Obama. They shut down congress a couple of times, let the money run out they were so determined to block some of his stuff.
    And I agreed with some of that Blocking. BUt simply Blocking because it's "OBAMAAAA's!" is just as stupid as Blocking because it's "TRUUUMP's !"

    For you to be so concerned about fairness and simply wanting others to look at regs, policies and legislation in a purely rational way without adding any negative connotations to it because of WHO has proposed it, doesn't come across as very sincere on your, or at least many people's on the rights, part.


    And Please stop lumping me in with those that have NOTHING good to say about Trump. It's lazy of you man. You already KNOW for a fact that that's not who i am. stop trying to demonize all those that aren't on the Trump train.
    C'mon Jim, i'm sorry gabby or some other left wing person isn't on the board who fits your negative leftist profile but please stop using me as a surrogate for your complaints about the blind of the left who never give Trump a break. I'm not in that Group.

    My Complaints are Constitutional, conservative/libertarian and morally based... mostly.
    As are my compliments.

    Give me a thread with a list of things that Trump's done that fit the above and I'll be there THANKING and liking those post.
    but it doesn't mean I'll NOT complain if he does the opposite.
    I'm not looking for a personality to heap PRAISE or Complaints onto Jim, but a Cheif Executive that follows his oath. and does his job well.
