This is a great Article describing how little Donald J Trump actually does...
Early this year, Axios obtained a schedule of President Trump’s activities, revealing hour after hour of “Executive Time” — which means, mostly, binge-watching cable television news and tweeting. Politico has obtained another weekly Trump schedule, and if anything, it appears to contain even less actual work.
Tuesday’s schedule featured nine hours of “Executive Time” and just over three hours of work. Other days on the schedule were only slightly busier. Trump had no meetings or commitments before 11 a.m. on any day of the week. Every day included long blocks of unstructured screen time

Trump has done such a comprehensively awful job of being president that it feels petty, or even contradictory, to complain that he spends so little time doing it. (It’s like the old joke: The food at this restaurant is awful; and such small portions!) So it might not be a bad thing that Trump hardly works at all. Still, it is noteworthy how little time the world’s most powerful person spends doing his job.
If this pathetic excuse for a man worked for me, I would fire him immediately.
WAIT! HE DOES! LET'S ERASE THIS MISTAKE.
Are you admitting that he has been shirking his responsibilities for two years, M2C?
I see a morally corrupt slacker who does nothing but promote himself. The Dems are part of the problem to because the party is full of corporatists (who are moderate conservatives). They selected the weakest candidate of them all. Clinton could not even beat the worst candidate imaginable…Donald J. Trump.
Our Country has turned into a cesspool of hate because of Trump. He has emboldened the worst of the worst.
Celebrating the demise of Planned Parenthood is nothing to be proud of. PP provides healthcare for millions of women. Y’all complain about abortion but that is such a small % or what PP does. Sad that you care very little about human life when you claim to care so much.
There is no peace in the middle east and Trump kowtowed to the sponsors of 9/11 plus he is ramping up a war with Iran.
The GDP is not Trump's to claim, that is Obama's legacy
Trade deals? He's gotten us into Trade wars and the US deficit is exploding...
I don't care it he watches TV.
Trust me I have not abandoned my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
What Planned Parenthood does is abortions. Yes they do provide birth control, STD tests and the standard tests that go with birth control. But that is not by any means the majority of their business. They count funny so they can make that small % claim. Counting each condom and birth control pill they give out as 1 service. But if you look into the amount of people served and the amount of abortions performed the % changes dramatically. Every medical service they provide is also provided by the County Health Clinics across the country which also perform many more services than PP offers. So no one would loose any services.
If the GDP is Obama's legacy, he waited way to long to stake that claim. The "new normal" of 2% is all he got and he does not get credit for Trump's economy. What jobs came back to the US under Obama?
Obama cozyed up to Iran giving the a crazy weapons deal that guaranteed they would get nuclear. And then gave the cash, literal cash to pay for it.
Tariffs are a weapon to force the trade deals. Look at Mex and Canada, we have deal with them. Germany is wanting to talk and others as well.
Deficit is not important according to Obama...he increased it more than all the other Presidents combined. I do want President Trump to get it under control.
Yes, we should end birth right citizenship. It is a loophole that is exploited by illegals the common term is anchor baby. We will not be the first country to end it either. France--1993, Ireland--2005, India--1987, New Zealand--2005 and Australia--2007.
Shame to wish a President to be assassinated, but yes I do think many on the left would agree with you to their shame.
“Shame to wish a President to be assassinated, but yes I do think many on the left would agree with you to their shame.“
How ridiculous. What do you think would be the number of times that conservatives talked about “lynching” Obama or the # of times he was called a “Ni**er” during his 8 years as president? Please don’t play innocent. Conservatives treatment of Obama was criminal
Now, Pay attention. You're about to get schooled:
"Obama cozyed up to Iran giving the a crazy weapons deal that guaranteed they would get nuclear. And then gave the cash, literal cash to pay for it."
Despite our allies confirming that Iran was complying and overwhelming evidence, Trump and and his puppet Netanyahu lied through their rotten teeth about Iran.
PAY ATTENTION
In 1953, the US orchestrated the Mordad Coup in Iran to get its greedy hands on their oil. Mohammed Reza Pahlavi was installed as the Shah of Iran. The shah was a fascist dictator who kissed America's ass and treated his own people like crap. The Shah gave the US $400million for arms and weapons. The Iranians were sick of this guy and they overthrew him. There was a revolution and he ran away, taking refuge in the US. Iran wanted him back and . The Iran revolution was still in full force going nutz because they wanted the Shah to stand charges and the US meddling in their internal affairs. The US embassy was overrun, and the staff was taken hostage. The US retaliated by freezing $12bill in cash AND did not deliver the arms that Iran already bought and paid for.
Since then, $12 bill has been returned but that money which you claim was being paid did NOT belong to the US.
That $400 million belonged to Iran and the US had no business keeping it.
The first step in recovering from conservatism is learning facts

I did not say the money was from the 50s.
I SAID the money was from an arms deal that never transpired because Iran had a revolution to overthrow the corrupt and violent US installed Pahlavi regime.
Pallets of money from where???the US? LOL It has been proven 100% that there were no US dollars on pallets. That money was settling age old debts. It was not released until 5 persons were released in Iran (NOT RANSOM) and it consisted of Swiss francs, euros and other foreign currencies; NO US $.
Yes...Trump had the best wage gain because of Obama's Efforts. It is impossible for Trump to claim that this amount of economic growth could be achieved in that short amount of time. It became even more laughable because that proves the economy was on an upward climb. What helped Trump was his bullshit tax break to the wealthy and corporations.
"In early 1985 the head of the NSC, Robert C. McFarlane, undertook the sale of antitank and antiaircraft missiles to Iran in the mistaken belief that such a sale would secure the release of a number of American citizens who were being held captive in Lebanon by ShÄ«Ê¿ite terrorist groups loyal to Iran. This and several subsequent weapon sales to Iran in 1986 directly contradicted the U.S. government’s publicly stated policy of refusing either to bargain with terrorists or to aid Iran in its war with Iraq, a policy based on the belief that Iran was a sponsor of international terrorism. A portion of the $48 million that Iran paid for the arms was diverted by the NSC and given to the Contras battling the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. The monetary transfers were undertaken by NSC staff member Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North with the approval of McFarlane’s successor as head of the NSC, Rear Admiral John M. Poindexter. North and his associates also raised private funds for the Contras. These activities violated the Boland Amendment, a law passed by Congress in 1984 that banned direct or indirect U.S. military aid to the Contras."
BOO!
I ALMOST CRAPPED MY PANTS JUST RE-TELLING THAT NIGHTMARE!
It would behoove you to cease the regurgitaion of false Trumpian talking points.
They sound stupid when he says them and even more idiotic when they are repeated. I'm justy saying
President Trump started with a distinct advantage with a workforce of 145.7 million, 9% larger than when President Obama took office. If the workforce were to only grow by 2% that would add just over 2.9 million jobs a year or 243,000 per month. Over the course of 10 years, there would be over 29 million jobs added.
Additionally, over President Obama’s last six and five years in office after the economy had recovered from the Great Recession, the average employment gains were 2.42 and 2.48 million jobs per year.
I know you are worried that you are going to appear to have lost this debate and it will look bad when it is found in a Google search. That's OK. take a deep breathBelow are the employment gains from President Bush’s last four years in office from just before the start of the Great Recession, through President Obama’s and so far through President Trump’s tenure.

The unemployment rate shows pretty much the same progression from President Obama to President Trump . The unemployment rate started to climb the last two years of President Bush’s second term and substantially in Obama’s first year as the Great Recession that he had inherited was having a huge impact.

So there you have it. I rely on experts to provide the truth over someone pulling numbers and opinions out of hat and I;m sorry, your perpensity to quote Trump without fact-checking taints your credibility
Bernie’s plan will cost over $6 trillion less than the current health care system over the next ten years.
The United States currently spends $3 trillion on health care each year—nearly $10,000 per person. Reforming our health care system, simplifying our payment structure and incentivizing new ways to make sure patients are actually getting better health care will generate massive savings. This plan has been estimated to save the American people and businesses over $6 trillion over the next decade.
The typical middle class family would save over $5,000 under this plan.
Last year, the average working family paid $4,955 in premiums and $1,318 in deductibles to private health insurance companies. Under this plan, a family of four earning $50,000 would pay just $466 per year to the single-payer program, amounting to a savings of over $5,800 for that family each year.
Businesses would save over $9,400 a year in health care costs for the average employee.
The average annual cost to the employer for a worker with a family who makes $50,000 a year would go from $12,591 to just $3,100.
You can read the rest yourself. I stand by Bernie Sanders and agree with all of this

I SAID IT BEFORE AND I SHALL SAY IT AGAIN, How can you as a Christian stand by and say you care about life, be anti-abortion, and yet...not care about people getting wuality health care that they deserve? Healthcare is not a privlidge nor is it something to be marketted...
IT IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT
