97/72/43 - Approval numbers of the SOTU speech.

:pussyhat:

"That is just one example of the hyperbole that undercuts
your boastful claim to being one of the most influential
political thinkers and deep-level theorists in the modern era."
 
:pussyhat:

"Your claim that liberals hate America,
coupled with your unquestioning acceptance
of every screwball conspiracy theory out there,
tells me just how shallow your so-called analysis is."
 
False state of the union from a non-president. Disgusting speech, he needs to die in prison. The most evil person in the world. All his supporters need to die, they aren't human. If you can tolerate Trump you deserve a bullet through the head. You are a fascist animal and deserve to die like one.

Too bad. I'm always curious about what the left considers Obama's accomplishments. Maybe that OBL was found and killed. I can't come up with anything else.

Obama is the greatest president in history. Trump is the worst leader of any organization ever in all of history. You're an idiot, an anti-human and deserve a bullet through the head along with all other fascists. Fuck America. Fuck you.

As always, no mention of any accomplishments. Even I came up with one.

Pardon me, may I help? I chose these 10 out of a list of 50 based on issues near and dear to me; there are 40 more in the link below.

1. Signed the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009, which designates more than two million acres as wilderness, creates thousands of miles of recreational and historic trails, and protects over 1,000 miles of rivers. By designating new national monuments and other measures, permanently protects over 548 million acres, more than any other president.

2. After five presidents over the course of a century failed to create universal health insurance, signed the Affordable Care Act in 2010. More than twenty million Americans have gained coverage since the passage of the law, which provides subsidies for Americans to buy coverage, expands Medicaid eligibility, and prohibits insurers from denying coverage to people with preexisting conditions. The uninsured rate has dropped from 16 percent in 2010 to 9 percent in 2015. The law also mandates free preventive care, allows young people to stay on their parents’ policies up to age twenty-six, and imposes a ban on annual and lifetime caps on benefits.

3. Signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010 to re-regulate the financial sector after its practices caused the Great Recession. The law tightens capital requirements on large banks and other financial institutions, allows the government to take them into receivership if they pose a threat to the economy, and limits their ability to trade with customers’ money for their own profit. Dodd-Frank also created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to crack down on abusive lending and financial services. By the end of fiscal year 2016, the CFPB had handled nearly one million consumer complaints and taken actions that resulted in $11.7 billion in relief for more than twenty-seven million consumers.

4. Led six nations in reaching an agreement with Iran that requires the country to end its nuclear weapons program and submit to a rigorous International Atomic Energy Agency inspections regime in exchange for lifting global sanctions. The deal—which resulted from first toughening sanctions against Iran—also blocked Iran’s pathways to building a bomb, slowing down the development time for a weapon from three months to one year if Iran were to break its commitments.

5. Ended the 1990s-era restriction and formalized a new policy allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military for the first time.

6. Decided in 2011 that the federal government would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act, which restricted federal marriage recognition to opposite-sex couples. In June 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down key portions of the law as unconstitutional, allowing married same-sex couples to finally receive federal protections like Social Security and veteran benefits.

7. In 2014, took steps to open diplomatic and commercial ties with Cuba, ending the failed Cold War policy of isolation. In March 2016, direct mail flights to Cuba resumed for the first time in fifty years. American tourists may also now freely visit the country.

8. Directed the Federal Communications Commission to issue a rule classifying internet service providers as a public utility and forcing them to treat all web traffic the same, regardless of source. After years of litigation, a federal court upheld the FCC’s rule, meaning providers can’t favor certain websites or block others.

9. Signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act in 2009. Nine years in the making and long resisted by the tobacco industry, the law mandates that tobacco manufacturers disclose all ingredients, obtain FDA approval for new products, and expand the size and prominence of cigarette warning labels. It also bans the sale of “light” cigarettes and tobacco sponsorship of entertainment events.

10. As part of the 2009 stimulus, invested $90 billion in research on smart grids, energy-efficient electric cars, renewable electricity generation, cleaner coal, and biofuels. Launched a clean energy incubator within the Argonne National Laboratory and encouraged $4 billion in commitments by foundations, institutional investors, and other private-sector stakeholders to boost their investments in clean energy technology.

All well and good. Google George W. bush accomplishments and there's a list of 100:
http://www.ithinkthereforeirant.com...ishments-of-the-george-w-bush-administration/

Unless a president is sitting on his ass eating bon bons all day , every day he'll accomplish something.
But I don't see anything of great significance in your list.
Certainly nothing that will affect me. Already we got a major tax overhaul that will positively affect most of us.
 
Trump has done nothing but destroy the country and attempt to set up a dictatorship. And you wildly cheer him, you wildly want a desire a fascist dictatorship and a white supremacist regime and death camps. All conservatives want is dead brown people.

Well fuck you, fuck your children, fuck your stupid slut wife. I hope they all get a fucking bullet in the head from the black guy they try to lynch you fucking Nazi pos.

Things do not have to affect me personally to be of importance to me. If you look at the rest of the items in the list in the link I posted, you may find something that matters to you personally. Der Gropingfuehrer has never tweeted about me personally, but certainly some of his more egregious tweets affect me -- and you too. For example: his willy-wagging with NK's leader.

Or is this the difference between conservatives and non-conservatives? Conservatives only care about govt. stuff that affects them personally, and everything and everyone else can go jump? Non-conservatives take a more universal view?

So basically all presidents who have a list of accomplishments are great in your opinion? Therefore all presidents were great?
The reality is that what is an accomplishment to some is a fail to others.
We are in highly partisan tribal times so my question in all honesty is probably moot. In general Obama tried to accomplish more of a socialist state and arrogantly thought he'd "accomplish" that. “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” — Barack Obama, October 30, 2008
He didn't. In fact what he accomplished was the rise of the alt-right.
