A hemp bill!! Good one!!ABV 8.3% wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 7:45 am On another thread, it was mentioned that Trump has signed NO worthwhile legislation. Is this true? Trump has signed over 500 bills into law in his two and a half years. Sure, AFAN the net moving master, will say Don didnt support, sponsor, sooth, sway, .....in short NO input from Trump. He didn't draft the legislation. Or, better yet, the bills aren't "game changers". Big deals, like F ng BIG deals, like Biden said. (it's not, ACA is a joke )

So, all 511 bills signed into law (NOT exec orders)....and none of them help the average joe and jawanda US citizen? On non-citizen, aka illegal
Why is any of this the Presidents fault, regardless of what you think about him, or her, or zure.
Come on, not ONE beneficial bill for the US citizens: Legallizing hemp saved a buddies farm in Maryland. Big time. Was declaring bankruptcy........losing the farm...... because the pretends in DC/bubble didn't want to pay more or organic food. That's one family that benefitted from a bill Trump signed.

Senior Trump official embellished résumé, had face on fake Time cover
State Dept. official Mina Chang claimed to be a Harvard Business School "alumna" who ran a nonprofit that worked in 40 countries.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald ... r-n1080356
WASHINGTON — A senior Trump administration official has embellished her résumé with misleading claims about her professional background — even creating a fake Time magazine cover with her face on it — raising questions about her qualifications to hold a top position at the State Department.
...In her State Department post, Chang, 35, from Dallas, helps oversee efforts to prevent conflicts from erupting in politically unstable countries. She earns a six-figure salary in a bureau with a $6 million budget. A deputy assistant secretary usually has a top secret security clearance. It's not clear if Chang has such a clearance.

You should listen closely to today's testimony from Dep Sec George Kent. He gave a brief history of Ukraine's endemic corruption, including the fall from grace of the most recent Prosecutor General who was appointed to replace the one VP Biden insisted on firing.DocB :
You do understand that Russia is a far more corrupt and malignant nation than Ukraine, don’t you? You need to acknowledge that before criticizing Ukraine.
We're now on the new & improved Ukraine 4.0. Hopefully this govt will last longer than it's predecessors who were toppled from within because of that endemic corruption.
Zelensky was just elected & is just a few months into his term. He's an amateur - their Stephen Colbert, A stand up comic whose schtick is lampooning politicians. I hope he turns out to be their George Washington, but his reforms & reformers are barely in place.
It's a bit premature to draw your contrast between Russia & Ukraine. I hope it lives up to your expectations. Maybe the third time is the charm. But it's too soon to make the contrast you do. I'm sure you thought your reset button was going to work too.
