That list of Trump's "accomplishments" reminds me of the Iowa fan touting all the hardware they won this year. Do you appreciate at all the irony of what you wrote about people being incapable of dealing with truth that counters their feelings? But thanks for the laugh.

Someone claimed that President Trump had accomplished nothing in his first year. I provided a list proving that claim to be wrong. Since you do not seem to think the list is impressive, please feel free to identify which specific items you feel do not belong and why.

I understand that this will require more thought than posting a nonsensical reply concerning Iowa fans and nonexistent irony claims, but it would make for a more (maybe) persuasive argument.

Ive never understood threads of a political or social issue nature. No thread has ever or will ever change someone’s mind. All devolve into pissing contests.

Like it or not, Donald Trump is the President of OUR country. Just Like Barack Obama was the President of OUR country. Accept it, and if you dont like it then vote him out in 2020. If you think he’s doing well, vote to keep him. Its pretty simple.

President Trump made a mistake by criticizing McCain in that manner; however, it doesn't change the fact that McCain is a POS who should have faced a recall election the moment he voted against the ACA repeal.

Don't count on it.

I liked McCain before, but I liked him even more when he voted against repealing Obamacare. Unlike Trump, he almost always makes a lot of sense.

It's pretty well known that Trump doesn't like the job and really dislikes the long hours. He'll quit, if he isn't impeached first. Even though Pence has some screwed up ideas (like hormonal therapy for gay people), he is at least of relatively sound mind. We already know Trump has shown that he isn't.

Your news sources are lying to you if you’ve been left with the impression that President Trump dislikes his job. This is just one of the many things the traditional media lies about. You should consider expanding your news choices.

While part of me hopes the Dims are dumb enough to try to impeach President Trump (should they regain the house in any of the next three elections), I don’t think they’ll go through with it. This is just a talking point they use to rile up their base. Contrary to much of the evidence, I think enough of them are smart enough to see that it would be a bad idea for them to actually do it.

You'll find that you're generally more informed if you get the majority of your news from non-traditional news sources, both left and right leaning.

I do find it interesting though that you'd mention Breitbart specifically. Do you not consider it to be a legitimate news source? If so, I propose a contest. Let's compare how many inaccurate stories Breitbart published and had to later retract or correct to how many any one of the major traditional news outlets did last year (from Jan 1 through Dec 31). ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, The New York Times, or The Washington Post. I know that each of these traditional sources had to retract more than 1 "bombshell" story last year. I think a comparison might be interesting.

Breitbart retracts their inaccuracies? The fact that you think they are legitimate tells me all I need to know. I’m sure you feel the same about The Blaze. I’m out, have a good day.

Steve Bannon doesn't even consider Breitbart to be a legitimate news source based on his interview with Michael Wolff.

Oh my.. He actually thinks Breitbart is even remotely legitimate. Some people are just a lost cause and can't be helped.

Interesting story about that very photo. The deceased veteran entombed in the photo died in a motorcycle accident stateside, by the way.

It's an old an played out cliche that Republicans somehow love and support the military more than Democrats. I've never seen it. I will say, as a bleeding heart liberal, that I don't want to see my fellow citizens dying in a foreign land unless there is a damn good reason for it. The last 16 years in Iraq, looking for made-up "weapons of mass destruction," trying to make Iraq into a little America, when it has never been a peaceful country...not worth it. I'd rather have all of those dead and permanently disabled veterans home and healthy with their loved ones. Call me selfish.

Naturally, not a single response with any evidence to support the claim that this non-traditional news source is any more or less accurate than the traditional national news media. Maybe you all know that the MSM had a terrible track record last year and that any comparison would likely not go in your favor?

In any case, this thread is beginning to remind me of the recently locked climate thread where someone submitted a rather lengthy post that contained many facts and graphs that should make anyone question the hysteria coming from the climate alarmists. Instead of any substantive responses, the post received a bunch of “do you know more than NASA” type responses. Are we as a nation losing the ability to discern fact from opinion and to use logic and reason to analyze facts to come to logical conclusions? It seems there are many who simply take what the TV tells them at face value without ever wondering if there’s any hidden meaning or motive.

Yeah, why would you believe in something that's been supported by scientific evidence for decades, if not centuries? Pardon me for believing the brightest Scientific minds in the world vs that dope in the white house.

Unfortunately liberals have such hatred for Trump they have blinders on about anything and everything else. Including the corruption of Obama and Hillary. That doesn't bother them one bit. Trump sneezes without covering his mouth and it is national news for 2 days. I am not saying I love Trump or that I even wanted him. I am able to see the corruption and greed on both sides not just one.

It works both ways. Probably a lot of truth in both versions, but at least I acknowledge it.

I gave you Steve Bannon's own quote on Breitbart not being a legitimate news source. The same Steve Bannon that runs Breitbart. That is the conclusive evidence.
