Mmmm. Congress doesn't need Democrats for anything. They control everything.
Their problems about ""working together" comes from within their own party.
They don't need that Democratic "crowd" at all.

What have they accomplished, what significant legislation?

When Trump comes clean, hand over his taxes, the tapes and fires Bannon. I would still want him gone.

He thinks that simply repealing EO's is actually accomplishing something, but other than that trump and the Repubs have accomplished Nothing, hence why there are few replies to the simple question asked in the Original Post, they have no answer and doubtfully ever will.

Do something with the moderate Dems about illegal immigration--I mean DO SOMETHING. Not a wall but e-verify, discourage them from coming here. Put a good health bill out there, something that will help people, not hurt them and something they can afford to pay for.

Put your house in order because right now it is chaos. You chose people whodidn't know anything, now get used to it and make it work if it can work. I challenge them to pass a health care bill that will actually benefit ordinary people and not just the rich. Bet they can't do it.

E-verify is in Trump's 2018 budget. The 700 mile long wall along the most porous areas of our border was already approved by congress back in 2006 and where those types of walls have already been erected they have proven to be very effective. A good physical barrier helps the Border Patrol do their jobs more effectively also. Better to stop these illegals before they get in here where they are harder to weed out and much more expensive to remove. Removing the job incentive via e-verify won't work on it's own unless we start denying their kids birthright citizenship which is another means to support themselves.

Presidential budgets, while fun to use as rocks to throw at people, are not worth the paper they are printed on. That was true for Obama as well. Has been for a long time.

E-verify is absolutely a great idea. I bet it doesn't make it into the budget congress passes if they manage to.

If you are waiting for "the Republicans" to do something, you'll have to wait until the new party, whatever form that takes, emerges from the ashes of the old.


Like the latest incarnation of the Democratic party, the RINO wing of the Republican Party exists for its own purpose.


Funded by the 0.1%, each maintains its own strategy for winning elections while ultimately serving the interests of the 0.1%.


Democrats take money from working Americans to buy the votes of the recipient and aggrieved classes while paying lip service to taxing the wealthy as a way to pay for their vote buying.


RINO Republicans have historically offered whites, and particularly white males, a highly compromised alternative to the anti-white and anti-male Democratic Party.


Tax payers, disproportionately white and disproportionately male, are, due to their income-earning, tax-paying status, ineligible for the vote-buying programs available to largely non-white and largely non-male recipient class members.


Attacking the anti-worker alliance of the recipient, aggrieved and donor classes is a new political movement built from working men and women who pay taxes.


This movement has driven Democrats from public office over the past decade and have now shifted their attention to their enemy within the Republican ranks.
Honestly, I want them go back in the room and smoke cigars and drink. This is how they negotiated to benefit all of us. There were moderates and it worked. Now we just have extremists on both sides. This doesn't work for our country at all. We need to vote them out and elect moderates. This is the only way our country will survive

But what about the other 15? BTW 15 would be below average for a president I believe.

Well...3 named individuals to the Smithsonian institute board.
2 named buildings
1 designated a location for a memorial.

9 left.....and so far NOTHING of note. But im sure we will get to some meaty things here!

A bill to allow a exception for the secretary of defense to take his post despite having been in the service too recently. Uhmm...whoopee.

etc etc etc. little to nothing of note to be honest.

Here take a look:
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...current_status[]=28

The guys bragging about something shameful. Yes he has signed more laws. No none of them were anything important. Compared to other presidents? Bwahahhaha. He is a loser. Most presidents within their first 100 days signed truly meaningful laws. Trump? Nada.

You should educate yourself. Go look at the link, and come back and tell us what great laws he has signed there.
"Ah yes. This old claim."

Ah yes move the goal posts.

The claim was he has done NOTHING.

It was NOT defined.

"13 of them were reversing Obama era regulations. "

Just because you don't LIKE what he did, you attempt to distort the original claim.

Is 13 MORE then NOTHING?

This presidency is a sideshow. Nothing is getting done, it's just a soap opera that is starting to wear thin on Capital Hill. GOP incumbents need something solid to run on in 2018 and they are fearful if nothing big happens soon, many of them are doomed.
