Jokey, What was it that Jesus said about gun control?
Oh yeah, was it Matthew 25:34-36
Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’?
What was it that Jesus said about dealing with idiots on the hiways?
Mark 12:41-44
He sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. Then he called his disciples and said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.’
We Libs are getting pretty tired of picking up the slack for you Zombiephiles.

Re: Trump's First Year Accomplishments
Smoke and mirrors.
I’d be curious where you got that list from, as I am sure many of the items/issues could be reasonably disputed. And remember executive orders are not legislation, and in some cases not enforceable, just for show.
For one, economies are their own beasts, and look at it objectively, much of the upswing in the past two or so years are due to policies that Obama initiated, Trump is just reaping the benefits, so to speak.
I also agree with some posters that the bonuses many companies/corporations are dishing out to employees are nothing short of a PR stunt, and will not hurt their bottom line, whereas the tax cuts will certainly help their bottom line, big time.
Take a step back and look to see what Trump has really accomplished, if you dare to.
On another note, how does one bankrupt a casino? I would think that it would be quite difficult, that any competent businessperson would make a profit on a casino. I don’t really know, I do not gamble, I pulled a slot machine handle once somewhere in some small burg in Nevada in 1985, and that was it.
As well, let us take a hypothetical situation. What if the president of the United States had, in the past, been found to be laundering money for the mob – American mob, Russian mob, Mickey Mouse mob. How would you feel about that?
Just asking.
Back to the original question, where did you access that list of Trump’s “achievements”?

The best line I heard today was that it will not be the Deep State that gets Trump, but he might be hit by the Deep Fryer.......

RJ! Per your retort about Trump's supporters:
The 3 G's and i'll add A+T , abortion and taxes...The conservative voters , some that are drawing SS , medicare , or using social services unwittingly demand that taxes be lowered foolishly thinking the cuts are for them...
Don't forget to add a R for Racist & a BIG L for Losers!
I wish I could believe Trump supporters will be sorry, but with their beliefs & culture, they think they have a HUGE victory. (Maybe the only one since their High School football team had a winning season.)

Trump has flip flopped about his account on trying to fire Mueller... When asked by reporters if he was considering firing Mueller , Trump stated it wasn't even a consideration...Now the truth has come out that Trump tried firing Mueller...Trump backed off when his attorney threatened to resign creating another PR disaster for the president... Kenneth Starr has called this an impeachable offense...

Here's how bad a republican gerrymander has to be before anything is done about it.
This particular gerrymander even has a name. Goofy kicking Donald.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/drawing-the-lines-on-gerrymandering/
"the Republican-controlled State House drew these lines -- or gerrymandered them -- to create as many safe Republican seats as possible.
Last election, Republicans won a little more than half (54%) of the statewide vote, but the lion's share of seats -- 13 out of 18, more than two-thirds."

The Trump supporters here on ST are not making anywhere near as much noise as they did in Trumps earlier months...
I wonder why that is???...
LOL, they probably have lives that don't revolve around Trump, unlike you.

a lot more voters were removed from ballot roles than trump won buy
all in predominantly democratic districts...
A a huge number of them were removed because? Because they do not actually vote in that district. Seems like those voters are a non-factor in Trump losing the popular vote.

Why a White House plan to nationalize 5G data networks has spurred widespread backlash
The intelligence community views network equipment made by Chinese companies with ties to Beijing as insecure, officials said. But the government has rarely taken a direct role in building such networks, making the proposal remarkably ambitious.
Lets see---I thought conservatives were against Gov't control of anything, and here they propose nationalizing the phone and data systems.
They won't need search warrants any more, because the gov't will be the owner of the system.
yep, I like how conservatives want to stay out of the lives of people.

Oh, no. they were far more clever about this. What they did was compare the voter roles with the list of felons in the state. If there was a match, they were deleted, but if there was a "near match", let's say the felon was named "John Bock", then also deleted if found, would be any J. Bock, any Jon Bocker, and of course, any Jon Beck.

Twitterers freaking out over the non-sanctions announcement and the nunes thing. Schindler wrote:
"Step back a bit. Ask yourself what's SO important that Nunes et al are willing to publicly destroy their reputations for, while undermining the HPSCI, the FBI, the IC, and the rule of law.
Then, clarity arrives.
Like a gut-punch"
and, in response to this one:

Schiff says House Intelligence Committee Republicans have opened an investigation into the Justice Department and FBI.
Schindler wrote:
"This is coup-type sh#t -- don't kid yourself, peeps. I do NOT say that casually, as you know"
Commentary suggesting that there is very widescale corruption in place. Also, confidence that justice will prevail, but....well, let's hope. To take a bit from Edward Abbey.... "What have you got to lose?"
