    Sure, the republican controlled congress did, and President Trump agreed.

    No, I was merely responding to the falsehoods presented by another poster.

    Who knew Trump was president in december. Nothing like attempting to grab other people's credit, but that is SOP for Trumpettes.

    You think that because it took a few months to get the cash in a process that started long before the elections or his inauguration that he and his administration should some how get the credit? Like i said, SOP for trumpettes. pathetic try to give the Donnie Disaster unearned credit for everything positive while blaming all the bad stuff on fake news and "progressives".

    Well, Ill tell you this.

    The second Trump took office he spent the first week dumping all the bs Obama and pals attempted to implement after they found out Trump won the election.

    All kinds of crap, and if Trump didn't want that money going out, he would have stopped it.

    Lame duck Obama accelerates refugee resettlement

    US election: What now for 'lame-duck President' Barack Obama in the White House?

    What is clear, is either you misread the article, misunderstood, or some combination of the two, and won't admit it.

    Interesting interpretation of fact. forgive me if I don't quite understand the constitution, but I thought a president's term was up on Jan 20th on inauguration day?

    so what if he is going out. He is still the guy in charge isn't he? He still wields all of his executive powers doesn't he?

    But then again I do get how you must scratch around trying desperately to defend the bumbling incompetence being shown by this republican president and the republican congress. Must be difficult for you guys when the only "wins" Trump have come from the "stroke of his pen" and the right FAILED in its 7 year mantra of repeal and replace, essentially using every tactic they wrongly accused the democrats of Jamming it down the throats of americans", without any discussion or negotiation.

    Clowns in the clown car finding out that ruling isn't the same as opposing - gee getting big stuff done is hard, who would have know healthcare was so complicated.

    His "wins" were obliterating the insane Obama exec. orders...for starters...many more to come. Obama had passed NOTHING by this point in his 1st term.

    Completely madeup bullshit, in a desperate attempt to make up for Obama's glaring incompetence in dealing with the Flint water crisis.

    Well hew is conservative, or among the conservative realm of politics. It isn't conservative in the strictest sense to want bloated government organizations such as the EPA

    Even if that were true, does it really justify this thread?

    You accused the media of ignoring Trump's Greatness because the EPA did something that Congress (under Obama) told the EPA to do.

    Do you any any idea of how utterly ridiculous that is?
    Do you have any idea how far you have sunk into the morass?

    If Trump did stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot someone, you would probably accuse the media of ANTI-TRUMP BIAS for reporting it.

    Hell, maybe you think the media should daily report...
    Donald Trump did not stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot someone today.​

    Stop throwing around terms you don't understand.

    Sociopathic, sure, all leaders have to be.

    Republican Congress under President-elect Trump. Obama had years to do nothing about it.

    Correct, I remember this because Paulson infamously said the reason we needed $700 million(which eventually became a few trillion) was "Because we needed a big number." Now, if they managed to repay it all, good but I was disgusted because I believed in the "Wall street must live within its means". Then we got the ACA, insurance company bailouts and we learned that Obama's words were a pile of garbage.

    How you figure that Obama's incompetence, especially since its been more or less definitively proven that it was the REPUBLICAN state government that screwed the people of flint. You do know don't you that the EPA won't be able to find any more flints, since all those lovely regulations about clean water have been turfed, by.... wait for it - Republicans.

    win by taking away. Wow you guys have a funny way of evaluating what it takes to win. simply picking up the ball and going home isn't much of a solution. Unless of course you don't think that regulations are necessary to ensure clean water, appropriate toxic dumping, etc. etc are important aspects of the quality of your life.

    Removing a negative is a positive. Just like cutting out a cancer.

    Yes, I always thought that toxic waste and clean water regulations were a negative, too.
