Missing Obama
He was unable to uphold his immigration policies.
If you're talking about the "Muslim Ban" as I suspect, it's no failure on Trump's part for trying. He had an idea, he got into office, and other people beat it down. As far as I'm aware, aspects of it still remain in play including the annual refugee limit. Like other orders he'd pushed, it wasn't thoroughly thought out, but if it's true that the basic premise of putting a halt on immigration from select countries was court declined then it's also true that this is gross judiciary overreach.

They're redrafting the AHCA now and the worst part of Obamacare has already been crippled by his first executive order. Even if his replacement is "Obamacare minus the federal mandate" (which I'm sure it won't be), I'd say he succeeded.

One thing I can say is that sufficiently restrictive environmental regulations can drive companies overseas to take advantage of looser policy. Hypothetically, the cost of satifying existing national environmental policies could do MORE damage than it prevents (policies which Trump is beginning to mitigate, which reduces the disincentive to outsource production).
The pros and cons of environmental regulation are a different issue of course.

To say the least, I think you put an extraordinarily unrealistic amount of expectations on Trump. No way could half of that be accomplished in a month by even the most intelligent human we could muster. It's also difficult to excuse interpreting his promises of the moon to mean he's either failed to deliver on the spirit of his promises or he never intended what he said.

I'll show them to you just as soon as you show me posts where he stubbornly refuses to admit Obama's done anything wrong, tried to answer criticisms by changing the subject over and over, or lashed out at me personally for asking questions.
Where are those? Oh, there are none? Then I guess this is just another blatant false equivalence.

Show me the post where I "stubbornly refuse to admit Trump's done anything wrong," because that sounds a lot like you re-writing history to suit yourself.
Where have you? Show me an example. All I can recall, in over a year and a half, are maybe two vague allusions to "flaws" without an admission or concession on any one specific thing.

And you can't find mine?
LOL

If you want to claim an equivalence to TONGO, show me posts where TONGO has consistently behaved like you have. If you can't, then it's just another false equivalence.
Where have you? Show me an example.

Because you didn't assault Tongo for supporting a liar.
Where has Yoda 'assaulted' anyone? Good grief.

Since all politicians lie, I assume pretty much everyone is willing to support a liar. But most of them don't try to pretend otherwise, or refuse to admit to anything, or change the subject and lash out personally when confronted with facts they don't like. That's the difference.

This entire year he has character assassinated Donald Trump and his voters.
Google tells me there are 16,500,000 forums on the net to discuss your president. Surely you can find at least one where the forum owner completely agrees with your every post.
And getting back to your complaint that the forum owner moved your shouts, it;s pretty obvious why. He also moved mine and cat's. You don't see us crying about it. It was the correct thing to do.

Maybe you've just got really thin skin. I've argued with lots of people about Obama, Hillary, whatever. None of them have complained as much as you have about the mere act of being argued with. None of them have been so desperate to feel like a victim for the arduous task of--gasp--being asked questions about their stated positions.
And really, speech as assault? What's next, enumerating my anti-Trump microaggressions?

It's assault because when Obama lies, you don't harass his supporters for eternity about it.
You have a double standard.
You have a double standard.
I miss Barry and Michelle. Are they still on holidays? I see his speaking engagements will be $400,000US. Not bad for an hour or so.
What the hell are you talking about? I argued with them in hundreds of posts across YEARS. Please, enlighten us with your definition of "harassment" that includes what's happened to you, but somehow excludes that.
For a double standard to exist, two situations have to be comparable. If they're comparable, then you must have lots of examples of Obama supporters behaving just like you have (personal attacks, stonewalling on simple questions, etc) without me pointing it out. Let's see 'em. If you don't have any, then the situations aren't comparable, and there's no double standard, simple.
Oh, and just for good measure: why don't you explain the logical connection between double standards and truth. Let's say I did have a double standard: how would that change what Trump said, or preclude you from explaining why it wasn't a lie? Explain its relevance to that question, please.

I have never seen so much whining about someone asking a few questions IN MY LIFE. Butthurt? More like buttdevastated. Jesus!
