They fell for it too I guess. Or they decided to throw him a bone? Dunno.

By comparison though, Gorsuch was his biggest "accomplishment."

My political views more align with Johnson than with Trump.

In the SCOTUS case, they often state the fact that other presidents rarely confirm someone in their first 100 days as rationale for his major achievement, ignoring the much bigger facts behind it. Just like everything else he does.

I wonder how many times scotus seats were available on day 1.

Your protest was not registered.

Oh, I see. So what are your main concerns with the Trump administration so far, ethically speaking?

Read on CNN that Trump just imposed tariffs on Canadian lumber. Why are we buying lumber on the cheap from Canada when we have our own forests to destroy?

Trump’s New State Department Spokesperson Spread Anti-Muslim Hate as Fox News Anchor
https://theintercept.com/2017/04/24/...as-fox-anchor/

Quote:

The Trump administration’s new pick for State Department spokesperson, former Fox and Friends news anchor Heather Nauert, has spread toxic anti-Muslim stories for years — something that in normal times would disqualify her from taking on a top job in communicating American foreign policy to the global public.

Nauert anchored a segment in December 2013, about a YMCA group in St. Paul, Minnesota, that partnered with the local police department to offer swim classes for a group of Somali-American girls, as a positive form of community engagement.

Nauert described the event as the “minority becoming the majority at one community pool. Sharia law is now changing everything.” The chyron on the segment used an image of two young Somali-American girls with hijabs, with the headline “SHARIA LAW”

In a February 2009 hourlong special exploring “stealth jihad,” she brought in a who’s-who of anti-Muslim panelists to discuss Islam, including Robert Spencer, the anti-Muslim activist cited 162 times in Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik’s manifesto; Frank Gaffney, who theorizes that everyone from Clinton aide Huma Abedin to conservative activist Grover Norquist is in on a Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy; Tarek Fatah, who once tweeted that the entire country of Pakistan is “a cancerous tumour on [the] face of humanity”; and Nonie Darwish, who believes that “Islam should be feared, and should be fought, and should be conquered, and defeated, and annihilated.”

She also has a history of defending Trump’s anti-Muslim assertions. Trump baselessly implied in February that Sweden had recently suffered crime or terrorism as a result of the intake of migrants and refugees. A couple weeks later, when Sweden re-activated its draft in early March in response to Russian pressure, she claimed in a segment that it was a “sign that President Trump may be right about Sweden.”

Wouldn't have guessed that. One of those geography quirks like Denver being more east than El Paso.

Never heard what came after the "but" because I was laughing uncontrollably for a solid minute.

Has Kenny Bone's finance game been parsed itt? It's entirely possible that he's sitting on his late Aunt Gertie's collection of priceless cat-themed china.

Having a two party system for decades doesnt sound healthy at all.

I agree completely, but thats the system we have, and voting 3rd party isn't going to change the system. Big money will never let Gary Johnson or anyone else up there to debate with the Dem/Rep

It was a two person race, if you voted for someone that wasn't Hillary, you voted for Trump.

If everyone that voted for 3rd parties voted for Hillary, Hillary is the president.

So because of the third party votes, Trump wins.

Its not rocket science
