Soooo... That winery he said he owns in Charlottesville? Not his. It's in his son's name.

Perhaps I'm being a bit churlish here? Not really. Apply this same mentality Trump displayed when talking about "his" winery to the so-called blind trust his companies are meant to be in. His ego makes a mockery of it. Guaranteed that his other companies are the same as this.

This is why democracy isn't always good. It's only good when good people are in charge and elected
Yes...but, you can in 3/4/5 years vote to kick that person/party out of power.

Hard to do that in a non democratic system.

Trump...the only person in this pic he doesn't have the power to fire is still in office....everyone else is gone...lol

Ultimately both sides are after power. The left are seeking to change the power structure of society and the right are seeking to preserve it.
True but that shows that the rights position is a bit of a fallacy. Wanting to preserve a system just because they're used to it. At least the left can change and adapt. The right just seems to double down.

Just like this fake news:

Is that real? :lol:
I've heard arguments that democrats are the real racists and the evidence always runs out by the 60s.

According to that headline, the Spanish police are on crack, and they're using jet-skis to give migrants lifts.

So can someone detail for me what conservatives might consider to be Trump' s major policy achievements thus far?

Having consumed all my knowledge about the administration from fake news outlets, I don't actually remember him having passed any policy at all.

Supreme Court nominee is the biggest imho. Makes the court conservative for a long time.

A lot of questions have been asked in recent weeks from some journalists about Trump's health.

Is it a coincidence focus is now being paid to Trump's health? Or are they aware that a big story is about to be published, regarding Trump's health and that's why they're now openly talking about Trump's mental well being?

I doubt it's anything but something else to focus on to try to enact impeachment processes or in this case act on the 25th Amendment.

I think I saw a post (think it was in picture form - easy to read and as few details as possible is what we aim for!) on /r/The_Donald a while back and now I regret not linking it so I could easily find it again. I'm trying to dig it up again, but reddit is fecking shit to find things on to be honest. I did find this other post though, which can provide you a bit of insight into how easy they are to impress. I'll update the post if I manage to find more.
https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald...e_i_was_tired_of_liberals_saying_trump_hasnt/

Edit: Just realised how terrible TD is with their custom stylesheets on, so I'll quote it. Hopefully the formatting isn't too fecked up:
This is a running list of the promises President Trump made on the campaign trail, and has kept in his First 100 Days in office. Barely any of them have been reported on because of this bullshit Russia conspiracy theory that is swallowing the MSM. He has literally "Done more in 97days than Obama did in 8 years." This is not only a running list of promises he has kept so far, but also things he has done that weren't even promised on the campaign trail. MAGA. (I will be updating this as much as I can, whenever a new initiative comes to light)

Edit: Much like our AMAZING president, I have been incredibly busy for the past six months and I apologize for not staying up-to-date. I have gotten many requests to update it and finally have some extra time on my hands, so a big update with many, new YUGE promises kept will be coming soon. The last time I edited it was after his first 100 Days, and this is going to be a six month update. I also noticed that the great creator of Dilbert, Scott Adams, has linked this in one of his most recent blog posts and tells his readers to share it with EVERY liberal they know, and I urge you to do the same. The cognitive dissonance is very real! It has been an incredible 6 months of only his first term, and America has already gotten much greater! (Promises preceded by an asterisk are part of the updated list and have taken place after his first 100 days)

PROMISES MADE AND KEPT SO FAR:

Campaign Promise 1: To replace Antonin Scalia with a like-minded justice from a list of 20

  • Trump replaced Antonin Scalia with Neil Gorsuch, an incredibly qualified and Constitution-abiding justice
*Campaign Promise 2: To suspend immigration from terror-prone countries

Campaign Promise 3: To defund and crack down on sanctuary cities

  • Trump has implemented a YUGE crackdown on sanctuary cities, threatening to defund them
*- Attorney General Sessions has stated that he is not messing around when it comes to sanctuary cities, and continues in the fight against cities that harbor criminal illegal aliens

Campaign Promise 4: To revive the Keystone Pipeline and Dakota Access Pipeline

Campaign Promise 5: To pull the US out of the TPP, an Obama-era trade deal detrimental to the US

  • Trump pulled us out of the TPP which would have been absolutely disastrous for the US
Campaign Promise 6: DONALD TRUMP LOVES WOMEN AND WANTS TO HELP WOMEN!

  • Trump has signed an Executive Order promoting women in STEM jobs (careers real feminists strive for, not "dance therapy" feminists)

  • Trump has Launched a Council empowering female leaders and female entrepreneurs
Campaign Promise 7: To renegotiate, or pull out of Bill Clinton's terrible trade deal, NAFTA

  • Trump met with Justin Trudeau (what a joke) to discuss the tweaking of NAFTA to benefit the US more, after he threatens to leave it
*- The Trump Administration has laid out what he wishes to see in regards to NAFTA reform

Campaign Promise 8: To undo ridiculous Obama-era federal agency regulations

Campaign Promise 9: To rollback Obama-era regulations on small businesses

  • Trump has rolled back ridiculous Obama-era regulations that have made it nearly impossible for small businesses to hire employees

  • Trump has already saved taxpayers $86 Billion by cutting regulations
*- Trump has undone hundreds of Obama-era job killing regulations which has helped cause a significant increase of jobs

Campaign Promise 10: To help America's inner-cities deeply in need of rebuilding

  • Trump has signed an Executive Order to give major funding to "Historically Black Colleges and Universities," helping out inner-cities immensely
Campaign Promise 11: To protect our policemen, the true everyday heroes

Campaign Promise 12: To crackdown on illegal immigration and to BUILD A WALL

Campaign Promise 13: To bolster our depleted military

  • Trump has increased our military budget because we don't want to use our military, but want to be prepared to use it
Campaign Promise 14: To enact a five year lobbying ban on government Officials after they leave office

Campaign Promise 15: To crackdown on drug cartels and illegal drugs crossing the border

Campaign Promise 16: To revitalize the dying coal industry in the US

Campaign Promise 17: To create American JOBS and bring companies back to America

  • Trump negotiated a deal with Carrier promising to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US.

  • Trump has met with CEOs from huge companies to work on bringing jobs back to America

  • There was an increase of 298,000 jobs in February alone (liberals will say that counts in Obama's fiscal year, but we know the truth)

  • Trump met with Intel CEO who promised $7 Billion investment and over 3,000 high paying (not "shovel ready" bullshit jobs) in America

  • Trump met with the CEO of Softbank who has promised 50,000 more American jobs and has already fulfilled 3,000 of those jobs

  • Kroger has promised over 10,000 new jobs in the era of Trump

  • The month of March yielded 263,000 new jobs, which passes the month's estimated 185,000 Big League
Campaign Promise 18: Pushing NATO allies to pay their fair share or face the reality of the US possibly leaving

  • Trump has put major pressure on the members of NATO to pay their fair and equal share because there are only a handful of countries in NATO who currently pay as much as agreed upon
Campaign Promise 19: To make America energy independent, relieving us from our dependence on foreign entities, such as OPEC

Campaign Promise 20: To enact a hiring freeze on government employees to help stop corruption

  • Trump enacted a hiring freeze to all federal employees, cutting down on the over-bloated bureaucracy
Campaign Promise 21: Trump could be the president that takes us to Mars!

  • Trump signed a Bill allowing NASA funding, including an exploration to Mars
Campaign Promise 22: To undo many of Obama's unconstitutional Executive Orders

Campaign Promise 23: The repeal and replacement of Obamacare. The recent GOP fallout of AHCA Plan was no fault of Trump's. The blame solely belongs to Speaker Ryan. He created a shit bill and couldn't even capitalize to get enough votes. Obamacare will crash in 2017 when individual mandates kick in and Democrats will be to blame. That is when Trump will truly work to Repeal and Replace it with a plan he promised us.

  • Trump got rid of the idiotic penalty in Obamacare that fines you if you choose not to participate in the program
Campaign Promise 24: To "Bomb the shit out of ISIS"

  • A few days ago, Trump dropped the YUGE MOAB on a group of ISIS militants, killing 90+ terrorists and causing damage to underground tunnels and technology

  • He called for a drone strike in Afghanistan killing Qari Yasin, a Pakistani Al-Qaeda leader
Campaign Promise 25: To not take a salary as President

Campaign Promise 26: To reform the VA and make it easier for Vets to get more healthcare opportunities

  • He signed A Bill allowing veterans to seek healthcare outside of the broken VA system

  • Trump has created the Accountability Office at the VA, making it incredibly easy to oust incompetent VA employees
Campaign Promise 27: To create a much needed tax reform

  • Trump has laid out an extremely concise, yet effective Tax Reform Plan to lower taxes for Americans and end things like inheritance tax, and to cut corporate tax rates down to 15%
Campaign Promise 28 (Scroll down to see "School Choice and Education Act"): To fix our country's incredibly broken education system

  • Trump has signed an Executive Order giving the power of our country's education back to state and local authorities
ACTIONS NOT PROMISED ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, BUT HAVE BEEN PUT IN EFFECT:

  1. (Even though it was Mike Pence) The defunding of clinics that perform abortions. Because no matter whether you are pro-choice/pro-life, the government should not be funding abortions. (Also, if people bring up the Hyde Amendmentabout 24% of abortions despite of that "amendment")

  2. Huge spikes in the NASDAQ average index and the DOW average index starting November 8th. (This will count for Obama unfortunately, but we know where the real credit belongs.)

  3. He has placed sanctions on Iran after they tested ballistic missiles

  4. He has met with/talked to over 68 foreign leaders

  5. He negotiated down the Price of the new Air Force One one billion dollars in a meeting that lasted just one hour

  6. He issued major cuts to the costs of the F-35 saving billions

  7. He has opened the eyes of the American publicunbelievably corrupt (pretty believable to most) the Obama Administration was.

  8. After spending 3 years in a prison in Egypt, and absolutely no help from President Obama, humanitarian and US citizen Aya Hijazi has safely returned home and has given all credit to President Trump

All edits will be: More examples of MAGAing

'So, let me tell you, and a lot of people don't know this. No one can even find South Asia on a map. But I did, and you wouldn't believe it, how bad it is. But I've done many deals there...many deals.

I've got tons of friends just northwest of South Asia. I'm the best at making South Asian deals, even though no one knows where it is.'

Everyone who knows him says the same thing. Usually mixed with expletives though.
