I guess it's time to congratulate you conservatives. You've accomplished some major wins. I may disagree with how you accomplished it, but you are winning. The country is definitely tilting to the right. The ship of state has taken a list to starboard, and I can't deny that.
You've won the battle.
There are a whole lot of new federal judges that will force conservative decisions for the next few decades.
You've destroyed the federal civil service requirements and allow cronyism to sneak back into the government workplace.
You've eliminated a raft of environmental regulations that mainly affect poor and minority communities.
The federal lands are now open to the 'thumper trucks' which search for oil.
The poultry and beef processing industry is having trouble finding enough people to work in the gruesome slaughterhouses that provide our steaks and rotisserie chicken.
Our water supplies are no longer being tested for harmful chemicals.
Employees of major corporations no longer have the ability to band together in class action lawsuits. Instead, they have to resort to private arbitration on a one-to-one basis which most cannot afford to do because of high legal fees.
Respect for the Department of Justice and the FBI has been eroded, which makes it more difficult for them to do their jobs and get cooperation from the population.
You've defanged the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was showing signs of actually holding companies accountable when they committed fraud against their customers.
China and Russia are doing major deals with the rest of the world that we've retreated from. China is estimated to be ahead of in Artificial Intelligence within a decade, and their companies are quietly acquiring American firms. And to do business in China, our companies have to partner with a Chinese firm, which mandates intellectual property transfers and eliminates our technological edge.
I guess it's time to congratulate you conservative... (

Maybe you should do some real research on the so-called Consumer Financial Protection Bureau your lauding as so wonderful, they were not holding them accountable..
https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/12/consumer-financial-protection-bureau-tragic-failures/If you'd paid any attention over the years you'd know the FBI, CIA, DOJ had lost all credibility years ago, and not because of now President Trump--

Then let's look at the FBI, which helped destroy the reputation of the FBI and DOJ, and other agencies..
Federal prosecutors attempted to rig the Bundy trial by withholding exculpatory evidence--unethical, illegal, and a violation of our Constitution.
While I do not agree w/ the verbiage used in this article, the facts are these agencies were railroading this family, just as they have many others over the years..none of that has to do w/ now President Trump, these were going on long before he took office--but apparently MANY American's prefer to remain clueless of these illegal actions.
https://powderedwigsociety.com/bundy-mistrial/the FBI’s framing of four innocent men for a murder they didn’t commit, The men were ultimately exonerated. A judge awarded $101 million in damages, two of the men died in prison.
While Hannity and others claim Mueller was involved (he may have been), but this judge doesn't make that claim, but does it matter?? Nope, given it was the department itself..thus destroying their own reputation years ago..
https://www.mediaite.com/online/federal-judge-rebukes-hannity-limbaugh-for-using-whitey-bulger-scandal-to-smear-mueller/Just as the DOJ made their own bed of lies destroying their own reputation--again LONG Before Trump became President.
"On April 7, 2009, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia unleashed his fury before a packed courtroom. For 14 minutes, he scolded. He chastised. He fumed. “In nearly 25 years on the bench,” he said, “I’ve never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I’ve seen in this case.”
It was the culmination of a disastrous prosecution: the public corruption case against former U.S. Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK).
Stevens was convicted in October 2008 of violating federal ethics laws by failing to report thousands of dollars in gifts he received from friends. But a team of prosecutors from the U.S. Department of Justice is accused of failing to hand over key exculpatory evidence and knowingly presenting false evidence to the jury."
https://www.dcbar.org/bar-resources/publications/washington-lawyer/articles/october-2009-ted-stevens.cfmA 2010 report by the Northern California Innocence Project cited 707 cases in which state courts found prosecutorial misconduct over 11 years. Only six of the prosecutors were disciplined, and the courts upheld 80% of the convictions in spite of the improprieties, the study found.
http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-lying-prosecutors-20150201-story.htmlhttps://www.innocenceproject.org/cases/steven-avery/"Just yesterday, we received a fresh set of her lies. It turns out that the lead investigator on this case perjured himself under oath and lied to the court about the records he has kept, the “evidence” he has found, and the methods he has used. Let’s say that again: the lead investigator on this case—hired by the Circuit Attorney at the cost of tens of thousands of dollars to the people of Missouri—lied under oath.
At this point, it is hard to keep up with the litany of falsehoods and fictions being peddled by a weaponized prosecutor and those who help her in a full-blow, partisan political abuse of our criminal justice system. But compiling even an abridged list of the most significant and compelling lies is worth the effort. It shows the unbelievable lengths to which some will go to use the legal system to serve political ends."
http://observer.com/2018/04/the-eric-greitens-prosecutor-must-be-held-accountable-for-blatant-lies-in-this-case/"This is the inside story of the most high-profile prosecutions of the last decade, and it’s a 5-star great mystery read on Amazon. A gruesome suicide, a likely murder, a tragic plane crash, wrongful imprisonment, and gripping courtroom scenes draw readers into this compelling story of the corrupted prosecutions of Arthur Andersen, Merrill Lynch executives, and Senator Ted Stevens. This book provides a frightening perspective on justice and who should be accountable when evidence is withheld and prosecutors break the law.
Licensed to Lie reveals the strong-arm, illegal, and unethical tactics used by headline-grabbing federal prosecutors in their narcissistic pursuit of power to the highest halls of our government. It’s terrifying–because it’s true. Just ask United States Senator Orrin Hatch, Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski, “fabled” trial attorney Brendan Sullivan of Williams & Connolly, or Fox News John Stossel–to name a few. It should be required reading for every law student, lawyer, judge, politician, and concerned taxpayer."
https://licensedtolie.com/Maybe you should do a bit more research before you make such accusations as to what the cause of their negative reputation really is..It has been cases like these that have done so, not the President calling them out as corrupt...

Again, apparently your unaware, it's been this way for many years, this is NOT because of President Trump.
March 18, 2016--(this was BEFORE Trump became President)
http://fortune.com/2016/03/18/the-biggest-american-companies-now-owned-by-the-chinese/November 5, 2015 (WOW, this was BEFORE we had President Trump too).
http://freebeacon.com/national-security/us-tech-companies-partner-with-firms-linked-to-chinese-military/"U.S. technology companies are increasingly forming partnerships with firms that sell advanced equipment to the Chinese military, raising concerns among analysts that American businesses are indirectly aiding Beijing’s defenses as it assumes a more aggressive posture in regional disputes and threatens U.S. security.
In one recent example, Microsoft announced a partnership with the China Electronics Technology Group in September while President Xi Jinping visited the tech giant’s offices. The agreement will provide Windows 10 operating system technology to "Chinese users in specialized fields in government institutions and critical infrastructure state-owned enterprises," a press release said."
"As all Chinese companies are ultimately controlled by the Communist Party and are increasingly being tasked to serve the Party's demands for enhanced military power, it is time for the U.S. government to build far better tools to protect American intellectual property and security," he said."
http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/14/news/economy/trump-china-trade-intellectual-property/index.html"Chinese state media have lashed out at the plans, but Trump is picking up on an issue that American businesses have been complaining about for years."
So please stop with the BS Lies, and do some real research on when these things started, because they started LONG before Trump was President..
lol Civil Service changes, they need changed, They need to be able to FIRE people who sit and watch PORN all day at work--Oh wait, you don't know about THAT either??? Or maybe your one that would lose their job??
