    What's your reason for not responding to my post again? I had 15 links for you and I specifically dismantled two of his accomplishments* before offering a more nuanced destruction of two more.

    And then, just for shits and giggles, I also referenced several more accomplishments that you forgot to list.

    *According to Trump

    Really trying to double down on that "intentionally piss off my debate opponent" strategy, huh?

    That doesn't work on me.

    It's like Pewee Herman climbing into the ring, being dispatched with a slap, and waking up hours later claiming to have "kicked some ass".

    So, no--posting stupid slogans in my direction is a waste of his time, and mine.

    Nice to have a real leader in the White House. Too bad the Democrats in our government are such monumental ****** bags with zero motivation to move the country forward. Wouldn't surprise me if they started another KKK movement like they did in the past.

    What is a shame is that we've reached such a point regarding partisanship, that people will try to denigrate accomplishments which help everyone merely because "the other party's guy" is President.

    It tells me a lot (and none of it good) about a person who can look at that list of accomplishments and still come away with nothing but criticism.

    A friend shared this meme on Facebook today, and I thought it applied perfectly to this thread. The haters are gonna hate no matter how much positive news we share, but it's not going to stop me from cheering for America as a whole and celebrating good news.

    Yes, because "great leaders" allow TV personalities to tell them what to do.

    Yes in fact warnings of recession caused by Trump including the shutdown and tariffs impact on both the US and China economies are getting louder. The DJIA gave up 2000 points in 2017 and is down another 300 today. Not a ringing endorsement on the economy.

    The list leaves out,

    10 lies per day
    Multiple felons from the White House in jail , with more on the way up the river.
    Russian interference in the election with no repercussions
    Multiple lies from the Trump campaign about who colluded with Russia and when.
    A trade war with China depressing the agro industry with no benefit to the US economy .
    An attempt to blackmail the Democrats into a 6 billion dollar boondoggle using the jobs of 800000 federal workers.
    No money from Mexico for the wall(not even indirect money)

    So, according to the trumpettes, the end justifies the means ? Even when they don’t have the votes?

    Most of the illegals were vetted and given visas which expired.

    Probably due to Trumps anti immigration Rhetoric which he spews daily ...........

    It is not just my opinion. It is a well documented fact, scholars are notorious liars.

    "Can’t take criticism? Just make up your own reviews! It may sound far-fetched, but we’ve now counted more than 270 retractions, more than half of them this year, which occurred because authors or editors compromised the peer-review process in some way—most egregiously, some authors faked email addresses for peer reviewers and gave their own papers a green light."

    I noted, and was surprised that no one on this forum was able to document even a single "lie" when challenged to do so. Perhaps I can help.

    The Cheeseburgers a mile high was Big Whopper - right? Use that the next time you need an example.;-)

    That scholars lie - a lot - is a well documented fact.

    "Two years ago this month, news of the replication crisis reached the front page of the New York Times. “Psychology’s Fears Confirmed: Rechecked Studies Don’t Hold Up,” read the A1 headline on the morning of Aug. 28, 2015. The journal Science had just published a landmark effort to reproduce the findings of 100 recent peer-reviewed psychology experiments, and just 39 of those replications succeeded. This dispiriting result, the Times reported, “confirmed the worst fears of scientists who have long worried that the field needed a strong correction.”
