Can anyone name from memory Obama's communication directors? What about George Bush? Bill Clinton? Who cares, really?

It's not who is chief. It's that the administration has accomplished nothing of substance, is at war with the majority party in Congress (it's own), and can't maintain any continuity due to the insanity of Dear Leader.

LG, I like so much more seeing you come here each day to spew forth your complaints and criticisms of the Trump administration versus when you came here to incessantly whine that people were too hard on Obama.

Soon....

Did you think it would work out any differently? If so, you're as naive as Huff. The Dems hate him because he defeated HRC.... their savior.... their ace in the hole. The Reps tried to disown him because they knew he was the middle finger vote ..... and they're nothing more than liberal democrats lite.

If nothing gets passed then so be it. It could be much worse.... HRC or Bernie could be president

Nothing would be passed under them either, probably more so.

Perhaps.

However, the Exec Branch has been quietly rolling back regulations, something that was never going to happen with HRC or Bernie. And call it a "feel good" measure if you want, but the simple fact they are taking some away is a good thing.

The Paris Treaty would still be in effect and we'd be shelling out money to the UN for other countries to build "green" stuff.

TPP would (likely) have gone into effect on an HRC watch.

Keystone XL would still be dead and in a quagmire of regulations.

There is now a SCOTUS Justice that appears to follow the Constitution. Never would have happened under HRC.

And you really can't deny the good Mattis has been doing at the Pentagon. I'm pretty sure he never would have been an HRC or Bernie pick.

Yeah, Trump is a buffoonish Neanderthal and loves him some Twitter, but there is some good that's been accomplished so far. Even you can admit that.

Other than the SCOTUS and Mattie, Trump has a bunch of moral victories. He's Tennessee football 2 years ago

I remember during the campaign he bragged about how he only hired the best people yet he keeps having to get rid of his hires because they weren't vetted. Snake oil salesman at its finest

Now see, this is where you need to take your partisan blinders off and actually look instead of just listening to what CNN has to tell you.

And FTR, UT was 9-4 two years ago. Not shabby considering there they had been as little as five years ago.

Ok I'll give you regulation as well. Not listening to CNN, it's all executive orders. The same executive orders he complained about Obama signing.

It was 9-4 but bragged about almost beating Florida and Oklahoma.

I give him partial credit for Gorsuch, not because he named him - but because he managed to not screw that up and hire a complete idiot like he clearly has a propensity to do. Let's not kid ourselves though, we both know trumpo didn't go out lose sleep over the vetting. He was given a name and repeated it, like most do.

Regarding the EO's - repealing EO's with more EO's when he's got a republican legislature is a bit funny if you think about it.

I have a hunch this ouster is but one of a number of conditions Kelly laid out to Trump in order to take over as Chief of Staff. If he can't inject some discipline and order into Trump, nobody can. I wish him the best at this. Watching Rome burn is no fun at all.

Hope Kelly takes the twit's phone away. Other than being the guy who could prevent Hiliary from occupying the WH, Trump has never shown any redeeming values - social or otherwise. If he could act like an adult for once, he might surprise and demonstrate something of value.

Hope this didn't sound like an endorsement to you.

"Someone like Kelly is probably necessary with Scaramucci running around. Scaramucci looks like one of those snippy little dogs with bulging eyes and yapping mouth mated to a little guy with a Napoleon complex; seems like his middle initial should be an "S"."

One does not equal the other. EOs are Executive Branch driven, not Legislative. But you knew this already...

Look, I get the fact you love to minimize credit and scoff at the idea he might actually be doing some good. But there is good there. Personal antics and stupid hires aside, there have been some good things happen since he's been in office. And if you can't admit that, you're just as partisan and ignorant as LG and others.

Actually no, it's the easiest, cheapest, and best way to get things done for any president.

Given that the .... wait for for it...

Executive Order!!
(boo! 😨)

is the instrument to get anything done by any president. Also given, those "things" must be within the constitutional purvue of the president, but they are the day to day way to 'Git r Done'.
Like the purchase order you sign at the tire store at the front desk. That tire order goes to the mechanics to make it be.

Just hope it aint 'mechanics' in a cosa nostra kind of way, like seems to be the case with the Clintons.
No wut I mean, Verne?

Agree with most thing except the SCOTUS nominee. I don't take issue with him, but even strict constructionalists use a loose interpretation to meet their needs. My personal belief is that the constitution was written in a way that specifically allowed for it to be adaptable to new times and not require updating every few years.

To say that this nominee will follow the constitution where others will not is not accurate.

Frankly, I can't think of anything he's done that's moved the needle off of "complete dumbass." Partisanship is irrelevant, the man has little to no character and has convinced me that he is petty, thin skinned and childish. If you're looking for a tussle of the hair and a pat on the head for occasionally not doing something retarded, you're asking more than I can give. Clearly, you and I have different standards on how men (and presidents) are judged - one good speech or EO doesn't wash away all of his past buffoonery.

That's not partisan, that's fact. So lump me in with whomever you choose, it doesn't bother me at all.

Oh see, this is news - for the last eight years, EO's were vilified as "major power grabs of authority." What's next, golf e'rry weekend is a necessary distraction from the grind of being president?

EOs repealing EOs isn't much of a power grab, more of a correction.

Sometimes what one see's depends on where one sits. What you call a correction could be called a mistake by others.
