Trump's major 100-day win---Gorsuch at the SCOTUS?

[nat4900]

Seriously, think about it for a moment....

Is Gorsuch's appointment to the Scotus REALLY a Trump win or a GOP win?

There is a difference.....Sure, conservatives wanted Scalia's seat to be filled by another arch conservative, but for Trump to take any credit is a bit naive.

Hell, Trump could have nominated a first year law student from Liberty Univ. and, with a GOP majority in the senate AND the nuclear option, that nomination would have gone through....

But, once again,Trump is given credit for something that actually has little to do with his own "actions"....

That, and all the background work going on to cut red tape regulations. Add in the decrease you see at the border of illegals coming in because they see the writing on the wall, and you get several layers of "win"

But the SC one was the biggest. A 2nd nomination would be bigger still.

Trump came up with the list.

He even published it before the election.

It is not only a major Trump gain it is the only Trump gain in the first 100 days.

This administration is on a collision course with complete failure.

Yes, it is a win for Trump. But as others have said it is the only thing he can lay claim to. I would also say that I think most of the arch-conservatives are going to be very unhappy with Gorsuch.

And this sums up partisan politics. It's about "winning", fuck what is sensible, fuck that the country is falling apart every day, yep, you feel like you won, so you feel more superior about yourself....

 

[Bruce_T_Laney]

Four years from now you will be reviewing Trump next 100 days in his second term and asking yourself " How the fuck did he win twice with the Electoral College!?! "....

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Lot of victories for the country in his first hundred days.

 

[WillowTree]

He got those imprisoned in Egypt released. Obummer was happy to let them rot.

 

[Sunni Man]

The 100 day presidental report card is a media invention. That in reality means squat in the long run. ......

[BlindBoo]

The stolen SC pick is a Mulligan. A Gimme. A 1 foot putt.

The Grabbers victories are the discord he has sown with all our major Allies.

 

[jknowgood]

Trump also made it easier for vets to get healthcare. Something Obama promised to do, but didn't.

Whelp, seeing as how Gorsuch's first act was to execute a guy who begged for a DNA test to prove his innocence (and was refused) in a courtroom where his attorney was drunk and the judge was having an affair with the prosecutor --- and Gorsuch sent him to die anyway ---- *

---- and given that Rump himself has the Central Park Five scandal on his own legacy, where he's still calling for the State to murder kids who have already been DNA-proven innocent ---

--- I'm seeing a pattern between the two. I gotta chalk this one up to Rump. Gorsuch has the blood on his hands that Rump only took on rhetorically. Which fits his entire lifelong pattern of having other people do his shit work so his tiny hands are clean.

* - I'm not even making any of that up.
Actually I'm not making either one up.


Perhaps some day when he's bored Rump will sic Gorsuch on the Central Park Five and follow through.

One can only assess the importance of the USSC pick when viewed alongside who would have been picked, had That Other Person won (which would also have meant a D majority in the Senate.) HRC would not have re-nominated Garland. He was, in the minds of Leftists, a "centrist," or moderate. After an identical "Nuclear Option" undertaken by Schumer to void Republican blockage at the USSC, Clinton would have gone full whack-job Leftist with her first pick, and the Constitution would be basically a dead-letter document. The impact on our country would have been catastrophic, affecting scores of parts of our lives for decades to come - perhaps irredeemably. And don't forget, if HRC had been elected, Ginsberg would have submitted her resignation by now, and her replacement would be a 45-year-old Black Leftist woman.

Trump's impacts go far beyond his formal actions, many of which have been thwarted by career politicians of both parties thus far. The world is on notice that we are again taking our own immigration laws seriously, and illegal immigration has slowed to a crawl. The regulatory state is in turmoil, as thousands of federal bureaucrats fight futilely to maintain the lawlessness of the O'Bama years. Our global enemies are quaking in their boots - even more so than when "cowboy" Bush43 was elected.

And again, to restate what is being stated all over the place, despite a monumental campaign by the media and the Leftist Anti-State, the people who actually voted for The Donald are pretty much satisfied that he is either doing, or honestly trying to do, everything he indicated he would do when he campaigned. For example, if the Wall is not funded soon, no rational person will count that as a "Broken Promise," even though that is how the MSM will call it.

No regrets here.

Why don't Leftists understand how ridiculous they look when they make fun of peoples' names?

:"I have no idea where my boats are" --- would be hilarious if it weren't true.

And on the bomb thing, isn't it interesting we can afford 59 Tomahawk missiles at a million bucks a pop, pun intended, yet can't afford to help feed seniors. Doesn't that speak volumes about values.

But the SC one was the biggest. A 2nd nomination would be bigger still.

Illegals crossing the border has been decreasing for decades. Literally decades. Most illegals simply overstay visas. That's already well known to anyone actually paying attention and not gullible enough to be distracted by shiny objects of emotional blather. Including Conservatives who bother to actually break a brain sweat.

But ya know what waiter ---- I'll have the demagoguery candy bar. Over easy. Because it's easier to chew.*

* same kind of logic as "yeah I know Iraq didn't attack us but they have better targets"

The ones who overstay their visa's are actually easier to track. The "undocumented" ones are the biggest issue because it's just that, no one has any idea who they are. Both have to be taken care of, but at least the ones on overstays had a visa issued to them in the first place, and usually are easier to track down if we want to see them.

And the current decrease we are seeing isn't the same as the gradual one from the past decade or so. Hell, if the Daily News has to admit it, then you know its true, because the Daily News hates Trump more than anyone, and would look for any hole to exploit.

John Kelly credits Trump for decrease in illegal border crossings
