    Seriously?

    The GOP has control of SCOTUS and both houses of Congress, but you're blaming the "liberals" who have been effectively neutered by the election?

    I don't get conservative logic. It's like back in the day when Obama was an Atheist Muslim.

    Yeah, I am. Got a conservative judge instead of another philosopher king, that's already enough to justify my vote. We also are finally starting to crack down on illegals, that's great too.

This was in some sense a policy change that we have (at least for the moment) reversed course on to return to the status quo.

    And it was a critical error that has injected tension and uncertainty into events which should have been business as usual, such as an upcoming arms sale to Taiwan. I would not be surprised if someone in that region makes a mistake and we end up with some sort of actual conflict, since these two bumbling idiots (Trump and Tsai) have done work to set the stage.

    Let's be honest. I wouldn't have been happy with this first 100 days regardless of what he did unless he had said: "I lied, suckers" and then turned into a reasonable person. But this was not a fuck up I ever expected even from Trump, so yeah. I can't wait for 4 years to be up.

    That's what the One-China policy is: "one country, two systems." The policy is in everyone knowing that there are two separate countries, but saying instead that there is only one. Because such a claim is part of the foundation of the Communist Party's power.

    You appear to be confusing Taiwan with Hong Kong or Macau.

    The "one country, two systems" policy has nothing to do with Taiwan.

    He has only himself to blame for making himself toxic for congress to work with. The way he talks to people doesn't inspire them to work with him. It could work running a business, but politics is a totally different animal. I think he'll be largely ineffective mostly due to his big mouth screwing the pooch. His impulsiveness and impatience isn't going to help either. You need to put a lot of time and energy to get something to work and the healthcare bill was barely an effort. You can only do so much with executive orders.

    So NO

    I really hope the Democrats offer someone good, because I have a feeling they're likely going to be the next President. Pick a Biden, or a Bernie, someone who knows how the game is played and still has the ability to talk to people without turning off more than half the country. Better yet, someone totally new. And they'll have plenty of new people, because Trump has inspired a lot of younger liberals to start trying their hand in politics.

    I'm happy the worst shit he promised hasn't materialized and at least some of the GOP is shying away from his insanity.

    I'm pissed that he thinks he can govern via executive order. I'm pissed that he has no basic understanding of how government, international politics, or national economics works. I'm pissed that his children have been "appointed" to government positions and the GOP who cries foul over every little government indiscretion isn't doing shit about it. I'm happy his supporters are getting screwed but I'm pissed that he got elected on complete lies. I'm pissed how slowly the Russia-Tump connection investigation is going. I'm pissed over the sheer magnitude of incompetence of not just Trump but much of his cabinet. I'm pissed that Ajit Pai is fast-tracking the destruction of a free internet. I'm pissed that Trump is pandering to oil and gas lobbies and un-protecting our national parks and monuments.

    So, on the whole, I'm pretty pissed, like 78% pissed.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    No his retarded pursuit of a border wall and imposing bigger taxes on imports from Mexico will hurt my community and his stupid ass anti-science crusade is also dangerous for my future career.

    For the time being? Not too happy, only happy in the sense Trump and the GOP have no fucking clue how to have an actual agenda besides sucking off thier corporate owners. So for now things are more or less the same but the real fun starts when and if they start doing shit like Trumps proposed tax plan, rolling back on net nuetrality, cracking down on legal weed, starting another war. Gonna be fun to see how badly people want them out come 2020.

    I wonder what kind of fuck-ups like mistakenly announcing we're sending our fleet to North Korea has on the global economy......You'd fire ANYONE for that kind of fuck up... but here we are entertaining a fucking child with the possibility of starting WW3.

    I would still vote for him tomorrow if the same two were running again.
