OK, it's nearly six months. All we hear about is Russia, or the cost of Trumps golf junkets or "he said, she said" with Comey.
Yet NOTHING is getting done beyond some bs Executive orders to pacify the right wing extremists.
Congress STILL hasn't passed or even taken up National Reciprocity. STILL no health care - and I'm 60 and gonna die if that doesn't get fixed, and soon. STILL no border protections of any meaning. Just a lot of religious extremist hatred. Did they even take up a budget yet? Where's the infrastructure? Our roads are coming apart and most interstates need a third lane. We still have all these worthless alphabet agencies.
This guy has about 12 months left to accomplish something and then the election idiocy will start all over again.
Or is the country, democracy and freedom itself just beyond recovery?
More bills than anybody ever!!!! It's quantity not quality or substance for this crew.
Republicans are actually doing quite a few things.
While all the attention is focused on the unfolding Trump-Russia investigation, they are in the back room gutting banking regulations, etc.
It's a great set-up. The longer Trump keeps everyone occupied, the more they can change laws so that corporations no longer have to show bribes on the books, financial managers no longer have to act in their clients' best interests, companies can sell your internet history, ...
to be fair
financial managers never did have to act in their clients best interest. They did not and still do not.
It seems every day I run across a story of someone who tells how Obamacare is their lifeline and they are glad to have it.
Hint: Health insurance rates have been going up for decades. Obamacare slowed the rate of increase for a time, but apparently it is back on track again.
As to blaming Schumer, Pelosi, and the Democrats for no desire to work together, what a bunch of baloney.
Republicans have worked hard for their majority in the Senate and the House. They've gerrymandered districts, purged voter rolls in the dark of night, voter suppression, used micro-targeted media propaganda, ...
They've finally won the prize. Republicans are the majority. Endless posts on this post crowing about it. So why do they need the Democrats?
In any case, why would Democrats have any interest in millions of people losing their health insurance, gutting the social safety net, enacting tax cuts for the rich, ...?
"Perfect example of bias."
Pot, meet kettle.
"They've gerrymandered districts"
The dems controlled the House for FORTY STRAIGHT YEARS and gerrymandered the hell out of a lot districts. (And I'd bet you NEVER complained)
It could be said the repubs are just corrected all teh screwed up districts the dems created.
I know, I lived in a county that was divide 4 ways to make sure the increase in repub registration was diluted by the surrounding dem counties.

Don't expect the liberal media to report anything Trump has done, its not news to them.
financial managers never did have to act in their clients best interest. They did not and still do not.
The new Fiduciary Rule was put in place on June 9th even though they had threatened to block. Trump signed an XO back in February to review the rule let again yet it was finally approved even though there
has been intense lobbying for years from the Financial Services Lobby.
It has been posted before that Trump has signed MORE bills the any president back to Truman.
Dont these bills that have been signed have to pass through congress to be enacted or become law?
Have they been? If not his signing many bills is a meaningless claim.
It has been posted before that Trump has signed MORE bills the any president back to Truman.
Of course you did NOT know that because the Lame Steam Media doesn't report ANYTHING positive about Trump.
How does that crow taste?
"STILL no health care"
It took Obama 19 MONTHS. trump has only been in office for 4 months
The rest of you post is just whining B.S.
Oh, wait... here we go, although this article was from the first 100 days.
Yeah, a lot of them were... well, unimportant. And, a lot of them were deliberately to reverse anything that obama did.
"three bills appoint individuals to the Smithsonian Institution board, two name buildings, and one designates a location for a National Desert Storm and Desert Shield Memorial.
The most notable bills Trump has signed are a set of 13 that reverse Obama-era regulations on a range of issues including on internet privacy and gun control. While that was a goal for Republican lawmakers, it’s important to note these bills made it to Trump’s desk through a process made possible by the Congressional Review Act, which became law in 1996. The act gives Congress a narrow window to reverse regulations, so these 13 bills had to get through Congress within Trump’s first 100 days."
"None of the bills Trump has signed so far are major pieces of legislation, so it doesn’t indicate that Trump has been particularly skilled at getting his agenda through Congress so far."
Yep, sitting around, waiting for congress to put something on his desk, and quantity over quality - the battle cry of the new administration.
