41st in the country? Works for me since CA is 47th and has never looked worse. The public school system here sucks!

Even if you forget about the content of his actions — whether they strengthened or weakened the country — and focus only on how much he accomplished, it’s a poor beginning. His supporters deserve to be disappointed, and his opponents should be cheered by how unsuccessful his agenda has been so far.

Here's the article for the item-by-item list:

I'm more worried what will happen, if he has a second 100 days. So far, we have not had any more countries break off diplomatic relations with us, ban our exports or declare war on us. Would we be so lucky, if he had twice as long, to work on our destruction?

If his tax plan goes through, it will be the most beneficial in years for the median income in my area, which is roughly $86k. I ran the numbers with a couple of my Liberal workmates, who were too intellectually lazy to do it themselves (and were relying on a couple of BS articles from their bias sources). They were quite dissapointed to find out they were going to do significantly better. One of them was earning $50k a year and the other was earning $75k. And just like the middle class people that did better with the Bush tax cut, they'll scream about the rich, but keep every penny they benefit from it. I also love the fact that he's eliminating the estate tax (which is going to save my wife and her sisters about $150k...Clinton wanted it knocked down to at least $3.5 million). Which is why I'm ecstatic that's she's private citizen Hillary Clinton, lol.

Hard to believe anyone would post an article from the NY Times and try to imply it's a credible source.

Why do Liberals want the country to fail?
Its not that we want to, its that we see the writing.

Lets talk about jobs! turmp loves this claim. 1/2 million jobs since he took office right!

January numbers are from a poll during Obama's term, and were 238K of that. huh.

So Trumps numbers as he takes over? February was 219K. Hmm...a drop. weird, but a small one.

March? 98K. uh oh. but we need 150K to keep up with births!

See the problem? Claiming victory using Obamas numbers, while ignoring that jobs under you in the last report dropped 52,000.

You're being conned. Wonder what next month will be? As a Liberal I am hoping higher. But as a realist....I will be happy if he gets 150K

Maybe you should get real.

Funny how you quote me and then address nothing that I said. That was one hell of a dodge.

Why do conservatives want to ruin the country? The last Republican president to leave the nation in better economic shape than he found it was Eisenhower. Reagan's tax cuts tripled the national debt.

Trump "tax plan" is a one-page, double-spaced, bare outline of a vague proposal that is getting a lukewarm reception in Congress.

Democrats call it a giveaway to the wealthy. Republicans worry that taking on a huge tax-cut debt on Trump's promise of paying for it with "massive economic growth" might be a poor idea. You think?

"Independent analysts worry about the administration’s math."

Trump tax plan gets lukewarm welcome on Capitol Hill - POLITICO

Your "intellectually lazy" workmates are probably getting a big kick out of your "math."

Conservatives want to stop people from being disadvantaged? Since when?

Can you even name a dozen things conservatives have done to stop people from being disadvantaged?

I keep reading this about the humor involved in watching liberals melt down, and keep wondering what that's all about.

Thus far, the melt downs have all been Republican.

Running around Washington DC, telling various versions of the same tale that no one believes anyway and then slinking off...

Dragging your feet for months about your committee's ethics investigations, then suddenly announcing that you will be gone for three or four weeks, maybe forever, who knows...

Tweeting lies to get the focus off your involvement with Russian agents...
