You know, like legislating and passing bills instead of starting new investigations and trying their damndest to get Trump they could get something done. The Dems only control the House, while the Repubs control both the Senate and the Presidency. If the Repubs had actually wanted to get something done, they've had two years with control of the Presidency and both parts of Congress. Link to comment

Democrats were constantly obstructing any attempts by the current administration for change with constant court appeals especially from the 9th district. 1 Link to comment

Republicans controlled everything for two years when policies were put in place causing this. Over those years, not one branch of the goverment gave one turd about the deficite. Trump himself claimed to be the “king of debt” while campaigning and republicans didn’t care. This doesnt have one thing to do with a congress that won’t work with trump. And, if he doesn’t want “hatred”, stop being a disgusting incompetent lying idiot. 3 1 1 Link to comment

That's exactly how it's worked for pretty much every president ever, though. The people who don't like the stuff the administration is doing will sue and try to tie things up in court. The opposition doesn't just lay down and let their opponents do everything they want. Republicans did the same thing to Obama. Link to comment

It's hard to take anything you post seriously when you post something so incredibly wrong which is so incredibly easy to find the truth on. Stop falling for whatever B.S. you're reading/listening to. Literally the only way this statement is correct is if you're only including 2019-2016. Yes, Obama had the most executive orders of any president during Obama's presidency, lol. 3 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 @hskerprid now seeing what @commando posted, I’m interested in knowing two things. A) who is telling you Obama used the most in history. And B). What motivation do you think they had for trying to convince you of that? 1 1 1 Link to comment
