EPA reform: Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt announced Oct. 9 a new set of rules that will override the Clean Power Plan, the centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s drive to curb global climate change. The agency is moving to undo, delay or block more than 30 environmental rules, the largest regulatory rollback in the agency’s 47-year history.
This is winning to a wingnut. No wonder it came from World Nut Daily.

The stoopid, it hurts.

It's worth a read, even if you object to some. I expect it will be a good State of The Union address next year.

The Big List of 149 Trump accomplishments

Which 10 impress you the most?
The fact that creating a holiday that no one is celebrating is on the list, tells me everything I need to know about this dung heap list

The only Trump "accomplishment" I can think of is that he's so stupid and incompetent that he has "accomplished" the task of having control of all levers of govt., yet being completely ineffectual, and unable to pass even a single piece of legislation.

Sad!

That would probably count as three accomplishments.
I've seen several of these lists of "accomplishments" and each is funnier than the last...but pathetic. You have to be a really sick person to think that cutting off medical coverage to poor people or trying to prevent them from having coverage while encouraging corporations to pollute the air we breathe or our drinking water is a positive accomplishment. Remember Flint, Michigan? Remember Puerto Rico? Well that's Trump's idea of a positive accomplishment. Instead we can look forward to tax relief for folks with private jets and the useless Trump sons hauling back Elephant trophies.

Its just a list of Trump alternative facts.

Broadcom already has a headquarter in US. Take his November accomplishment.

Job growth: President Trump announced in the Oval Office Nov. 2 that the semiconductor manufacturing company Broadcom Limited is moving its headquarters from Singapore to the United States.
Read more at 150 Trump accomplishments in 304 days



From Broadcom's release: Broadcom Limited | Financial News Release


SAN JOSE, Calif., and SINGAPORE, Nov. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadcom Limited (Nasdaq:AVGO), a leading semiconductor device supplier to the wired, wireless, enterprise storage, and industrial end markets, today announced that it intends to initiate a redomiciliation process to change the parent company of the Broadcom corporate group from a Singapore company to a U.S. corporation. The redomiciliation will occur whether or not there is corporate tax reform in the United States, although the final form and timing of the redomiciliation will be affected by any corporate tax reform. The redomiciliation will be voted on by the Company’s shareholders and is expected to be effected in a manner intended to be tax-free to Broadcom’s equity holders.


Note the San Jose and Singapore. San Jose is the location of one of Broadcom's 2 corporate HQs. Note that their leaving Singapore was going to occur regardless of changes to corporate taxes. So what is it that Trump did?

Trump promised multiple time to repeal and replace with a "better and cheaper" plan.

Haven't seen any.
