Ya know arch, all I want is the t***h, I don't care if it's Obama, Hillary, Trump or ANYBODY, if we are being deceived and corruption is involved with any of them I'd want to know, and maybe even more so with Obama, because I did at the very least believe him.

My Grandmother, more so than my mother, drilled into me the importance of honesty and she was my mentor and if I h**e anything it is being lied to. This is probably why I will not budge on Trump.

"can someone tell me just exactly what the dem party has accomplished this term of theirs?? Just one thing for our country, just one....Good grief what a pathetic display they put before the world no less."- lindajoy

I am waiting for an answer to that question.

Show me where I'm wrong? As of May 22, 2019, the United States Senate has confirmed 112 Article III judges nominated by President Trump, including 2 Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, 41 judges for the United States Courts of Appeals, 69 judges for the United States District Courts,
and 16 announced federal judicial vacancies that will occur before the end of Trump's first term (2 for the Courts of Appeals and 14 for District Courts). Trump has not made any recess appointments to the federal courts.

In terms of Article I courts, as of March 5, 2019, the Senate has confirmed 7 judges nominated by Trump, including 2 for the United States Tax Court, 4 for the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and 1 for the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. There are currently 9 nominations to Article I courts awaiting Senate action, including 4 for the United States Court of Federal Claims, 4 for the Tax Court, and 1 for the United States Court of Military Commission Review. Trump designated Susan G. Braden and Margaret M. Sweeney as chief judges of the Court of Federal Claims.

In terms of Article IV territorial courts, Trump has not made any appointments or elevated any judges to the position of chief judge...yet

How can they with the obstruction from the Senate and the party of Mitch McConnell

Yep, I went through a lot of handguns to get the right feel. I originally wanted a Kimber 1911 45, but I just couldn't get comfortable with it. The sig fits my hands so that I don't have to use two hands to fire it.
I've found that I'm just as accurate with my left hand, and I'm right handed. Credit to Sig Sauer.
Holy nadler! My 16 gauge pump went off in the house a few years ago. Don't ask. I know. Stoopid, but it shattered everything on a busy bureau and went through a wall and into a closet.
Nasty.

After that awkward statement, I may have to reconsider your intelligence.

Now answer the question;
Has any legislation reached the Senate?

I get what you're saying here. My Granny was the only thing between me being a dirtbag, or a productive citizen (my parents sucked) so I have the same mentality. But you have to understand that as big as our government is, and with the power struggles going on, you're going to be lied to. I damn sure won't tolerate it in my personal, or work life, and will call it out every time. But in our current political environment, who's lying to, or about who?

I happen to think that Trump is trying his best to set the country straight again, my personal feelings about him aside.

T***h is, Morgan, we will never know who in Washington is honest, and who isn't.

Start locally. Hold your elected officials feet to the fire. Then go from there. That's all I know to do.
Washington DC is corrupt, and broken in my opinion.

Morgan

Yes

Morgan

Don't you just h**e how we're manipulated at every turn, they keep doggy treats out there for that purpose. There's the whole strategy to get you walking to all four corners of the store. Or when you drive through town and they have it programmed to get every light. If you try to out maneuver it you'll get a speeding ticket, argh

I'm lucky. Everything I need is 10 miles away, so I don't have to deal with much town stuff. But, I know what you're saying. That's why I'm a non-urban dweller. Gotta go!
Time to launch the shopping cart 500!😆

Morgan

You're right about local first, I wish more people would get that. But here's what I've found, take the time to listen to people who are not in the limelight but are fighting for a good cause that they believe in. I still think there are good people out there from both sides, the trick is how to get them nominated, especially if they're not made of money, but it can be done.

I had listened to a guy named Martin O'Malley years ago maybe a decade, and I thought at the time, "man I'd like to see him run for president, and when he did I thought, omg this is great, but he just didn't get enough traction because of Hillary and the Dems putting all their stock in her...I was pissed. For a candidate I found him to be very middle of the road, strong and reasonably conservative, I was very disappointed.

Mikeyavelli

Ain't no middle today. You are either for America and Trump or against America and the kommiecrats.
Buttgagag will f**e a turn to the middle, but he will govern from the new socialist left.
Leveling America to be assimilated into the New World Order is the job of the next kommiecrat president.
I prefer my sovereignty and I am quite comfortable with America being the lone Superpower.
America isn't a charity or a hospital or everyman's land.

" one-party country with the plutocrats in charge. "

Plutocrats against Bureaucrats. Your fear verses mine. Plutocrats tend to be independent competitors of one another which makes them far less dangerous than the Bureaucracy who tend to cooperate against the common good.

If Trump is chief Plutocrat, Obama was chief bureaucrat.
