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. Guess it doesn't count

Sure, it might look like I'm posting this as someone who is simply a Trump "hater," complaining about every little thing this president and his administration does, but really...
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.

Meet our next Ambassador to Ukraine. She'll fit right in.
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.
Anyway, is it surprising that an administration led by a pathological liar and conman hired a pathological liar and conwoman for the State Department?

More alternative facts from DOPUS
"The USMCA will create up to half a million American jobs and add at least 1.2 percent more to our total GDP. And it should be much higher than that."
What is posted to the WH web site
“A new trade agreement between the U.S., Mexico and Canada would add $68.2 billion to the U.S. economy and create 176,000 new jobs, according to a study from the International Trade Commission released on Thursday.
Regarding wage growth
" ....for the bottom income group, real wages are soaring — a number that’s never happened before — 9 percent."
Atlanta Fed study shows that wages for the bottom quartile, under Trump, is around 3%, while the top quartile is over 4%
Question and non-answer time -
"MR. HESS: Mr. President, welcome back to New York. Mr. President, you’ve been a tough negotiator to address unfair trading practices and ensure that U.S. businesses get fair treatment. But there’s a growing consensus that the trade war has a cost and is weighing on our economic growth and capital spending. As you know, capital spending in the United States, last year, was up 10 percent. This year, it’s flat."
"THE PRESIDENT: Good. Thank you, John. They haven’t been hurt. You know, they were totally down. Now they are a little bit down because a little big, perhaps, the uncertainty of trade wars. But there is no uncertainty."
"MR. GALLOGLY: Mr. President, all the folks in the room are business leaders. Business works hard to think through and mitigate risk. How do you think about risk as it relates to trade policy and to, really, big issues like climate change?"
"THE PRESIDENT: Well, you know, climate change is a very complex issue. I consider myself to be, in many ways, an environmentalist, believe it or not. When I build buildings, I did the best environmental impact statements. I was — you know, I know the game better than anybody. And I used to go and see my consultants that I was paying a lot of money — environmental consultants. They’d be up in Albany. And I’d say, “What are they doing up here?” Well, they were trying to make it more difficult so we’d have to hire them and pay them even more money than we were paying them now.

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.
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.
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.
