Reid gave Landrieu 4.3 bn dollars...

I’ve now verified a number of mafia bribes to Reid. Once bribed, always bribed. If true that $4.3 b went to Louisiana, a Mafia link is not inconceivable.
Thanks for the ping! This list is great. I posted it to FB and my lib Friends are predictably outraged and/or crying.
I’m trying to find anything in the list that exceeds his constitutional authority... and I’m coming up empty.
Seems like everything either cancels one of BHO’s EOs or is within the scope of the executive branch.
(Trust but verify!)
Reagan ended the cold war and the Soviet Union, brought back the economy, and created a whole generation of new conservatives.
Trump has a long ways to go to match that.
But his start is increadibly promising. I can hardly wait at this point for what he brings us each day.

It’s an excellent list and it is growing faster than Obama’s national debt.
Trump is not a Conservative. Conservatism itself is Dead and has been a long time.
Trump does not seem to have any Ideology, which I find refreshing. He is a practical President looking for Practical solutions.
It didn't take me long to realize Trump was a conservative in terms of his main issues during the campaign. Cruz was lauded by many as being the most conservative, but not in my book. We all can be very thankful that Trump became the candidate and is now our President Trump!
Yes he did but he never took on the media the way Trump has.
Trying to belittle Trump by comparing him to Reagan is just silly. Reagan was the greatest President since Washington, in my opinion but not everything that happened in his administration was good. The same will be true of Trump for sure.
You came to a thread whining because people liked how Trump has started off his term, and got some push back. Get over it.
If Trump fails to follow through on his promise to secure and deport he will have failed to keep his word and damaged the Republic more than did Reagan's amnesty. We shall see.
I don't blame Reagan for most of those errors but to ignore the facts is silly. Trump will make some big errors as well but they will likely be forced errors caused by his own party just like Reagan had to accept. That is the way it works.
No - I came to the thread because people have taken to tearing down Reagan in order to prop up Trump when it’s unnecessary to do so. As I’ve said, different leaders in different times.
The fact that you think the 1986 Amnesty Act was the worst thing to happen to this country in the past four decades and thus lay that at the feet of Reagan shows that you do not understand the state of the country, or the world before Reagan came to be president. Illegal immigration was not the hot button issue it is today. The Soviet Union and it’s aggressiveness, inflation and high interest rates, the crumbling military, recession, tax rates in the 70% range.......that was the state of America then thanks to Carter.
Plus you directly imply that Reagan was afraid of the media because he didn’t do the 80s equivalent of tweeting. Reagan had no use for the media because he went right to heart of the American people. Hence his two landslide victories, 1984 being historical.
Trump is not Reagan. To attempt to compare them is pure folly. To attempt to tear Reagan down for his admitted errors (amnesty, Sandra Day O’ Connor, not responding to the 83 Beirut bombings) and not acknowledge his impact on the world is pure madness.
At some point — and at this pace, probably really soon — he’s going to run out of things he can do unilaterally. Then he’ll need to turn his attention to kicking GOP a$$es in the Congress. And he will need all our support to put the pressure on our weak-kneed congress critters.
No I don't because at the time it was a very small issue which is why it passed pretty easily. It was the nose under the tent. Cancer starts as a small thing but it rarely gets better.

B$ you implied that was my intent, for whatever reason he didn't, period.

Then why are you doing that?
One more time, Reagan, in my opinion, was the greatest president since Washington, no one ever articulated the conservative message as well but his opening week was nothing like what we have witnessed so far with Trump. Pointing that out in no way trashes Reagan.
