    Yeah trump would never have an agreement with the leading state sponsor of terror and give them billions on cash. No agreement any rational person would make

    Yeah Trump wants to an agreement with Iran to curb their nuclear appetite. Absolutely, Just not that agreement and he should have started negotiations rather than cancel the existing agreement. Now they are openly back in the nuclear business and we have nothing.

    No, the Gramm Leach Bliely Act was not a product of any Presidential Working Group. It was Phil Gramm's baby, and Wall Street whipped out the checkbook to make sure it happened. Actually, the Senate vote was party line.

    Clinton was under the thrall of Robert Rubin back then.

    You’re right my bad it wasn’t...and has turned out to be a great piece of legislation that had nothing to do with the 2008 crash and failed recovery. In fact it likely helped things from getting worse

    It is so funny when things are good for a president if he is a Democrat he gives credit to Congress but when things are bad he is blamed
    But Trump takes credit for everything and blames everyone for his **** ups

    Do you think that the FBI turned Trump and now he's a witting or unwitting double agent?

    I think Melania turned him.

    And now, in the interest of self-preservation, she is plotting her next move by binge-watching La Femme Nikita.

    What "revenge" did they exact? Opening an investigation is not revenge in itself.

    Trump is toast and he knows it. Building the wall is just another ploy cause he knows he wants the cheap labor these immigrants will be paid.

    Trump would turn in a second just like what he did to Cohen.

    It was Obama who got us out of the great recession which was on its way to becoming a depression. A slow but steady recovery. A bailout of GM which
    saved millions of jobs. Trump took over a healthy economy which is now on its way into recession. Who are you kidding with that malarky?

    GM were bankrupt after Obama bailed ormir how UAW donors, and he caused double digit unemployment. We didn’t get our until the GOP took back the House and cut spending and ensured the tax cuts stayed in place only thing did you atart seeing Main Street come back and not just dem donors on Wall Street winning

    Rosenstein did Trump's bidding with that letter and Trump embellished, much to Rosenstein's dismay. Rosenstein thought that Comey mishandled the Clinton email matter. Hence the letter. Trump fired Comey because he refused to swear loyalty to Trump and because of the Russian investigation and used Rosenstein's letter as support, which was "fake" support.

    You can flap away and not give credit where credit is due.

    Who cares when it was written, and it was one of many. I wouldn't call the writer a cheerleader unless you are deflecting again.

    Deflecting from what? She's a known cheerleader...she even wrote a book about how great Obamacare was after it passed. Granted that was before we saw the effects it had on the market

    The original was much better than the American remake, which wasn't bad. Remind me to tell you my theory of how Donald met Melania!

    Obama care was great and needs to be tweaked. What do we have now--- the Trump "fake" promise of better, cheaper health care?
    He wants to make sure that Obama gets no credit for health care because he is jealous of Obama's success. Why doesn't he just fix the damned thing instead of going through these gyrations? After all, Obama said that it was a work in progress.
    Oh, and I guess that they are all cheerleaders, yes?

    Unfortuately, he couldn't get the improvements through, totally.....the fake promise was Obama was gonna be cheaper, and we'd all save $2500. Obamacare drove up premiums, killed insurance companies....literally leaving some states with one option. It was horrible....

    It was horrible when Trump refused to pay the insurance companies as Trump tried to kill The ACA and the insurance companies slowly backed away. Had he attempted to fix the ACA, he would have been able to get the improvements through since it was already the law and in place. That was hardly a "fake" promise by Obama since he said that it was new and there was a lot of work to do on the ACA.

    The insurance bailout that was in the ACA highlights it's fundamental problem. But insurance companies were dropping out left and right well before Trump took office. He has attempted to fix the ACA, and has.
