How can you be protesting his unamerican actions when you start protesting before he does anything?

And the ban applies to all global health aid, not just family planning.

Most recent presidents have instituted some kind of hiring freeze, often just long enough for the president's new cabinet members to be confirmed so they can make their own hiring decisions.

A separate order applied to the Dakota Access Pipeline, a 1,172-mile pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois.

The order also directs the hiring of 5,000 more border patrol officers. The order does not specify how the wall would be paid for, but does request a report on all U.S. foreign aid to Mexico over the last five years.

Executive Order 13768: Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States

Complementing the border wall, this executive order applies to immigration enforcement in the interior, and specifically targets so-called "sanctuary cities" by cutting off their federal funding.

Friday, January 27
Executive Order: Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States

This is perhaps Trump's most controversial executive order to date, leading to weekend protests at international airports across the country. Trump promised to keep "radical Islamic terrorists" out of the country, largely though a ban on entry from seven countries for 90 days. Those countries (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen) are all majority Muslim, and the order allows an exception for religious minorities, which Trump said was to protect Christians there.

Executive Order: Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Employees

In one sense, Trump's executive order on administration ethics goes further than any similar order in history, imposing a lifetime ban on administration officials lobbying foreign governments, and a five-year ban on other types of lobbying. But that ban covers only people who were lobbyists before they joined the administration, leaving a loophole for non-lobbyists, ethics experts said.

National Security Presidential Memorandum 2: Organization of the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council

Every modern president signs an order early in his term reorganizing the National Security Council. Trump's order most notably added his chief political strategist, Stephen Bannon, to sit on the influential Principals Committee.

National Security Presidential Memorandum 3: Plan to Defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria

This memorandum calls for the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with other national security officials, to develop a plan within 30 days to defeat the Islamic State.

Monday, January 30
Executive Order: Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs

Trump's so-called "one in, two out" executive order would require agencies to rescind two existing regulations for every one new regulation — and that the regulatory costs of those new regulations balance out. The order would also tighten the president's grip on the regulatory process by giving each agency an annual quota of regulations through the federal budgeting process.


I fail to see a problem with any of it.

Most of the 62,979,636 that voted for Trump don't have a problem with it either. It's the 261,727,364 others that have a problem with it. The 19.4% who actually support Trump is far from the majority.

Well thank you. You can't argue with the math though. ONLY 19.4% (rounded up) SUPPORT TRUMP. Care prove me wrong?

Tell the rest of the class, using your formula, what percent support the hildabitch. I venture it would be the same, rounded of course. Please keep posting this ridiculous crap, I enjoy the laughs.
 
You silly thing. You think people are protesting because Hillary didn't win, and it has nothing to do with the unAmerican actions of that orange Clown. He is disrespectful to the democratic process. You really should pay more attention to what is happening instead of just letting right wing radio tell you what to think.

How can you be protesting his unamerican actions when you start protesting before he does anything?

Bull dog, what do you stand for? Are you relying on your neighbors?

hat I stand for is a pretty broad question and can't be answered in a couple of lines.
We all rely on each other in one sense or another, even you. The difference is that you probably aren't mature enough to realize that.
hat, all I did was ask. As an employer, I question your maturity.

As a retired employer, I don't care.
 
Regressive will never get it. They think they know what's best for the whole country, when most of them have never been to more than a couple of States. They're just self absorbed little people with Napoleon complexes.
Actually, they're tall people who DO know what's best. Mainly, taxing the bloated rich and giant corps their fair share and investing in the non-rich and America for a change...see sig.


Class envy isn't very becoming and how many are taller than Trump?

Trump lies about his height and weight. Hard to find something he doesn't lie about.
Trump's driver's license casts doubt on height claims
Donald Trump is lying about his weight


Child I'm not worried how tall he is or how much he weighs, it's not even on my radar, the cryptic child brought it up.

I don't care how tall or fat he is either. I do care that he is a pathological liar.


Yet maobama didn't bother you a bit, cause he was your liar, right?
 
You silly thing. You think people are protesting because Hillary didn't win, and it has nothing to do with the unAmerican actions of that orange Clown. He is disrespectful to the democratic process. You really should pay more attention to what is happening instead of just letting right wing radio tell you what to think.
Lol... you owe all the trees and foliage an apology!
You are clearly wasting their oxygen!

Unamerican.... disrespectful... democracy

A man who ran on a platform of hope and change.
Hope and change for what?
Fiscal responsibility, transparency,
changing the way Washington does business,
holding elected officials accountable

Yeah, how'd that hope and change work out?!

Disrespectful...Democracy

Silently approving and encouraging riots and chaos
being hired and payed for by one of their own.

Making the hacking and releasing of emails an issue,
not the damaging contents of the emails...
Yet, turning around and pardoning the remaining jail time
of a former military member who leaked Army documents

Not to mention, poo pooing away the fact that
Hillary instructed Huma to remove security headers,
from classified documents to keep them under the radar,
yet, claims she didn't know they were classified,
despite having Huma remove the classified coded headers

GET THE FUCK OUT OF TOWN!

Receiving MILLIONS of dollars from mostly
Middle Eastern governments through the Clinton foundation

Claiming white people who came out in droves
to vote for Trump were racist....
Obama wasn't saying that shit when droves of
blacks and whites came out to vote for him!

On and on I could go...
And, you're accusing Trump of being
Unamerican, disrespectful and mentioning Democracy?

Please, go fuck yourself...no one else will!

Yep. You memorized all that crap pretty well, but it's still crap. Trump is a lying unqualified pig, and no matter how much you hate Obama, Trump is still a lying, unqualified pig.
Yep. You memorized all that crap pretty well, but it's still crap. Trump is a lying unqualified pig, and no matter how much you hate Obama, Trump is still a lying, unqualified pig

Clinton. Feel free to look it up.


Clinton got a blowjob and left us a huge surplus. I would personally kick in a few bucks each week to make sure he got all the blow jobs he wanted if we could have him as president again. Either way, it still doesn't change the fact that Trump is an unqualified lying

The fact is I followed the election process closer than most, I would bet more than most on this forum. Due to my work hours at the time and my interest in this particular election I followed the entire primary process, every debate, soundbyte and controversy. This is what I have concluded:

No matter WHAT Trump does will not matter. His Democratic opposition will organize protests. These protests can't even be taken seriously anymore because they protested the day after he was democratically elected. Nothing waters down your arguments more than protesting simply because your candidate didn't win, it illustrated early on what the "strategy" was going to be, I'm guessing it is going to backfire, especially if Trump follows through on his promises. He could literally ask the democrats what they want him to do, he could do it, and protests would hit the streets an hour later.

I'm a pragmatic person and I just so happen to really love and respect Americas democracy and support for liberty. I've seen the contrary in Canada, and it isn't pretty let me assure you. Therefore, this will continue for four more years, and Trump will continue to defy those looking to undermine his authority. The authority he earned by winning 33 states. He said it was America First, always. It's why he won.

I liked Obama, I respected him and supported his views, just as I have all presidents, assuming he was making decisions in the best interest of the United States. I know that Canada has stabbed America in the back, and without a doubt other nations have also. This is why the pendulum swung to a protest candidate like Trump, people are sick of spineless leadership that is bought and sold and have allowed abuses from other nations to succeed against America.

We can agree or disagree on policies, but we can't deny that in most circumstances, there will be protests "just because" and it is disrespectful to the democratic process. Some objectivity would be nice for the next four years, not just anger because MSNBC or some other news outlet tells people they should be outraged. Oh, one final note, America has a checks and balance system for a reason, it's not as if Trump will have complete free reign as some might have (like say, the Canadian system).

You have no idea of my understanding of your position.
My late aunt and both of my cousins are Canadian and all three hold your views.
Two of the three worked in the medical field in Canada and they have nothing but bad things to say about socialised medicine.
In fact we had a friend of the family that stayed in our home while being treated at MD Anderson in Houston,one of the best cancer treatment facility in the world.
He ended up surviving his malady because of his care here in Texas,while he surely would have died in B.C.
 
Actually, they're tall people who DO know what's best. Mainly, taxing the bloated rich and giant corps their fair share and investing in the non-rich and America for a change...see sig.


Class envy isn't very becoming and how many are taller than Trump?

Trump lies about his height and weight. Hard to find something he doesn't lie about.
Trump's driver's license casts doubt on height claims
Donald Trump is lying about his weight


Child I'm not worried how tall he is or how much he weighs, it's not even on my radar, the cryptic child brought it up.

I don't care how tall or fat he is either. I do care that he is a pathological liar.


Yet maobama didn't bother you a bit, cause he was your liar, right?

I didn't agree with everything he did, but he was honest. Trump will lie when he knows the truth would serve him better.
 
You silly thing. You think people are protesting because Hillary didn't win, and it has nothing to do with the unAmerican actions of that orange Clown. He is disrespectful to the democratic process. You really should pay more attention to what is happening instead of just letting right wing radio tell you what to think.


Reality? Reality?

Where are you???

There's not a person in this country that believes Trump would have won the election without the help of Vladimir Putin, and FBI Director James Comey's assistance. EVERYONE KNOWS that the goal posts were moved on Hillary Clinton's side of the field. Her kicking his ass by 3 million popular votes along with this makes him the most illegitimate President to ever be sworn into the oval office.

You have elected a President than more than half this country HATES. Trump has insulted, offended and threatened to many in this country to ever bridge this divide.

These protesters are now activists, and they aren't going to forget to vote in 2018 & again in 2020. This is going to be devastating for the Republican party.

Yeah, how'd that hope and change work out?!

Clinton. Feel free to look it up.


Clinton got a blowjob and left us a huge surplus. I would personally kick in a few bucks each week to make sure he got all the blow jobs he wanted if we could have him as president again. Either way, it still doesn't change the fact that Trump is an unqualified lying
I fail to see a problem with any of it.

Most of the 62,979,636 that voted for Trump don't have a problem with it either. It's the 261,727,364 others that have a problem with it. The 19.4% who actually support Trump is far from the majority.

Trump voters US population
62,979,636 / 324,707,000 * 100 =19.39583%

I'd give you 100 funnies if I could.

Well thank you. You can't argue with the math though. ONLY 19.4% (rounded up) SUPPORT TRUMP. Care prove me wrong?

Tell the rest of the class, using your formula, what percent support the hildabitch. I venture it would be the same, rounded of course. Please keep posting this ridiculous crap, I enjoy the laughs.

It would be a higher percentage. She did get 3 million more votes. Ask a 5th grader to show you how to figure percentages. It's really not that hard.


You're just ashamed to admit the skanks number would be the same. Your presuming to speak for the 150+ million that didn't vote just makes you a worse clown and bigger liar than Trump. Even he doesn't claim support form people that didn't vote.

He ended up surviving his malady because of his care here in Texas,while he surely would have died in B.C.

MD Anderson is one of the best in the world. Sadly, people die just as quickly in most other US hospitals as they do in B.C.

How can you be protesting his unamerican actions when you start protesting before he does anything?

The big one on the 21st was because of all the crap he said he was going to do. Plenty there to to show his disrespect the ideals that our country stands for.

Friday, January 20
Proclamation 9570: National Day of Patriotic Devotion

As one of his first official acts, President Trump declared his inauguration day to be a "National Day of Patriotic Devotion." The tradition goes back to President George H.W. Bush, but Trump's proclamation was less personal and more nationalistic than his predecessors.

Executive Order 13765: Minimizing the Economic Burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Pending Repeal

Trump's first executive order was as much a messaging document as a policy-making one, emphasizing Trump administration to seek the repeal of the health insurance law known as Obamacare. While the order was vague about what specific measures the administration will take — using the phrase "to the maximum extent permitted by law" three times — it suggests that federal agencies give states, insurance companies and consumers the maximum amount of flexibility in complying with the law.

Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies: Regulatory Freeze Pending Review

The "regulatory freeze" memo is not technically a presidential action. Following tradition, the memo came from the new president's chief of staff, Reince Priebus. But it has the same force and effect as if the president signed it: An immediate halt to the publication of any new regulations. The freeze lifts when Trump's nominees to lead agencies are confirmed by the Senate. The White House Office of Management and Budget may make exceptions for health, safety, financial, or national security matters.

Monday, January 23
Presidential Memorandum: Withdrawal of the United States From the Trans-Pacific Partnership Negotiations and Agreement

The Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, was a 12-member trade pact of countries along the Pacific Rim. Trump's directive made it 11, formally withdrawing from the trade agreement. While the Obama-negotiated agreement was unlikely to be ratified by Congress anyway, the memorandum also set forth a Trump administration policy of negotiating future trade deals one by one, instead of regional, multi-national agreements.

Presidential Memorandum: Mexico City Policy

The Mexico City Policy, known to critics as the global gag rule, was a Reagan-Bush policy that restricted the use of foreign aid money to support family planning organizations that promote abortion. Trump's memorandum reinstated that policy, which had been rescinded by Obama, but also vastly expanded it: The restriction now applies not just to the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development, but now all federal funding. And the ban applies to all global health aid, not just family planning.

Presidential Memorandum: Hiring Freeze

Most recent presidents have instituted some kind of hiring freeze, often just long enough for the president's new cabinet members to be confirmed so they can make their own hiring decisions. While Trump makes an exception for the military, it also forbids contracting to circumvent the ban. The order calls for a long-term plan to reduce the federal workforce within 90 days.

Tuesday, January 24
Presidential Memorandum: Construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline

The Obama administration scuttled the proposed 1,179-mile cross-border pipeline from Alberta to Nebraska, which Republicans had supported as a job-booster. Trump invited pipeline company, Transcanada, "to promptly resubmit its application," and ordered the secretary of State to make a decision within 60 days, fast-tracking existing procedural requirements.

Presidential Memorandum: Construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline

A separate order applied to the Dakota Access Pipeline, a 1,172-mile pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois. That project has been the subject of heated protests by American Indian groups and environmentalists. Because the pipeline crosses waterways, it needs approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Trump ordered the Army to "review and approve in an expedited manner" the permit.

Presidential Memorandum:Construction of American Pipelines

Trump asked the secretary of Commerce to review ways to mandate the use of American-made steel in pipeline projects. for all new, expanded or retrofitted pipelines in the United States. The plan is due in six months.

Executive Order 13766: Expediting Environmental Reviews and Approvals for High Priority Infrastructure Projects

The order sets up a new system to fast-track infrastructure projects. Under the executive order, any governor or cabinet secretary can ask for a project to be designated as high-priority. If the chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality approves, the project will go to the front of the line for any agency required to review and approve the project.

Presidential Memorandum:Streamlining Permitting and Reducing Regulatory Burdens for Domestic Manufacturing

Under this order, the secretary of Commerce will launch a review of manufacturing regulations with the goal of streamlining those rules. The secretary will seek input on the issue over the next 60 days, with a report to Trump containing specific proposals 60 days after that.

Wednesday, January 25
Proclamation 9571: National School Choice Week, 2017

Trump proclaimed the week of Jan, 22 as National School Choice week. Though the proclamation was entirely ceremonial, Trump is the first president ever to proclaim this week, which is sponsored by a coalition of charter, magnet, private, online and home schools.

Executive Order 13767: Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements

This is the "build the wall" executive order, directing the Customs and Border Patrol to "secure the southern border of the United States through the immediate construction of a physical wall on the southern border." The order also directs the hiring of 5,000 more border patrol officers. The order does not specify how the wall would be paid for, but does request a report on all U.S. foreign aid to Mexico over the last five years.

Executive Order 13768: Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States

Complementing the border wall, this executive order applies to immigration enforcement in the interior, and specifically targets so-called "sanctuary cities" by cutting off their federal funding. The order also expands the enforcement priorities in order to give immigration officers almost unlimited discretion in instituting deportation proceedings, to include any non-citizen not yet charged a crime but who, in the judgment of an immigration officer, poses a risk to public safety or national security.

Friday, January 27
Executive Order: Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States

This is perhaps Trump's most controversial executive order to date, leading to weekend protests at international airports across the country. Trump promised to keep "radical Islamic terrorists" out of the country, largely though a ban on entry from seven countries for 90 days. Those countries (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen) are all majority Muslim, and the order allows an exception for religious minorities, which Trump said was to protect Christians there. The order was subject to immediate action in three federal courts in the 48 hours after its signing, in order to protect people who were caught in legal limbo when they arrived at U.S. airports.

National Security Presidential Memorandum 1: Rebuilding the U.S. Armed Forces

The presidential national security memorandum — a first-of-its-kind presidential directive — calls for a 30-day review of military readiness. It requires the the Pentagon and Office of Management and Budget to come up with a plan to bolster the military, and calls for an examination of the nation's nuclear arsenal and missile-defense capabilities.

Saturday, January 28
Executive Order: Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Employees

In one sense, Trump's executive order on administration ethics goes further than any similar order in history, imposing a lifetime ban on administration officials lobbying foreign governments, and a five-year ban on other types of lobbying. But that ban covers only people who were lobbyists before they joined the administration, leaving a loophole for non-lobbyists, ethics experts said.

National Security Presidential Memorandum 2: Organization of the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council

Every modern president signs an order early in his term reorganizing the National Security Council. Trump's order most notably added his chief political strategist, Stephen Bannon, to sit on the influential Principals Committee.

National Security Presidential Memorandum 3: Plan to Defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria

This memorandum calls for the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with other national security officials, to develop a plan within 30 days to defeat the Islamic State. The plan should include "recommended changes to any United States rules of engagement" as well as any diplomatic, financial or cyber measures that the Trump administration can take.

Monday, January 30
Executive Order: Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs

Trump's so-called "one in, two out" executive order would require agencies to rescind two existing regulations for every one new regulation — and that the regulatory costs of those new regulations balance out. The order would also tighten the president's grip on the regulatory process by giving each agency an annual quota of regulations through the federal budgeting process.


I fail to see a problem with any of it.

Most of the 62,979,636 that voted for Trump don't have a problem with it either. It's the 261,727,364 others that have a problem with it. The 19.4% who actually support Trump is far from the majority.

Trump voters US population
62,979,636 / 324,707,000 * 100 =19.39583%

A perfect example of how Stats are used to mis-lead. Your making numbers show what you want them to show. You cant speak for the intentions of people who didn't vote.
