"Trump has signed roughly 4.27 executive orders in each month of his presidency through June. His predecessor, Barack Obama, signed 276 executive orders in his eight years in office, or roughly 2.9 per month. George W. Bush signed 291 orders, or slightly more than 3 per month during his two terms in office."
https://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2018/07/how_many_executive_orders_has.htmlSo how is this entitlement if I and others (you as well) have been paying into these since we started working? I'd, BTW be more than happy to give up any and all future SS and Medicare payments. Just give me the sum total of what I have already paid into both, at a modest 4% interest. And if thats too unpalatable for you, just give me my actual payments into it, with no interest. I'll invest it myself and live quite comfortably. Had the government shysters in both parties not squandered the cash as it came in, to pay for their pork filled programs, to line their own pockets etc, both programs would be solvent and remain so. Now while I could retire tomorrow and collect both SS and Medicare, I chose to work full time. Why? Because what I do has a redeeming social benefit, and I l enjoy it.

Looks like we get to see if he votes for it.
I don't get it either. He said the vote is an effort to “embarrass” Democrats. WTF would it embarrass anyone? Let's get it passed.

I thought this smelled fishy right from the beginning. Will be interesting to see how this ends. There are bad people with all kinds of political views.

Between all the issues in the last few months with the Dem Party (plus shafting Sanders in 2016) and the debacle that is Trump, our political system is going to hell in a handbasket.
Are there any adult politicians anymore?

ALL national politicians are sketchy. The only difference is the degree.
The BIG problem we have today is Donald Trump. He is incompetent. He is stupid. He is delusional. He is a serial liar. He is a criminal of epic proportions.
As we sit today, America is the human body. Donald Trump is a cancer in that body. Democrats are arthritis. The focus needs to be to rid the cancer.
Now, once this cancer is eradicated (and it will be), another cancer may emerge and likely will emerge (though likely not to be as bad as the Trump cancer). It could be another Republican. It could be a Democrat. It could be an independent.
This is bad news for Trump.
Doesn't mean Weld will beat Trump in the primary. Just the fact that someone significant is challenging him is bad news and one of the factors that determines if he can win the General election in 2020.
Not surprising. There really is no more good news for Trump.
Not going to happen. The money you put in went to your parents generations Medicare & SS payments. It’s gone.
Since we need to slash taxes immediately—those current taxpayers who are funding your Medicare & SS payments should not have to since taxes are immoral.
So, all the money currently in SS & Medicare accounts will be used to build a wall on our southern BOARDER since there is currently a MAJOR national emergency that needs to be addressed STAT.

Great, a libertarian. Let me know when a candidate that doesn't solely appeal to the 18-24 year old male crowd decides to run.
There is nothing wrong with Trump. He is unlike a typical politician. The entire congress is incompetent, starting with the leadership.
Everything you post is a fairy tale.
Are you drunk?

I think Weld is taking one for the team - breaking the wind, being a test balloon, whatever you want to call it, to try to get Rs to take on Spanks in the R primary. Weld knows he can't win - he just hopes he can prove that taking on the cult figure in the WH isn't fatal and that you can make some progress. Showing the way, taking the first fire, testing some ideas. That maybe rebel Rs can use in primary.

Being "unlike a typical politician" is not a saving grace. At least MOST politicians at the national level understand how things work are are willing to learn about things they don't understand.
Here are the things off the top of my head that are wrong with Trump:
He's stupid.
He's incompetent.
He's a dictator wannabe.
He has no respect for the First Amendment.
He's racist.
He's sexist.
He's a misogynist.
He's an adulterer.
He's a phony (not a great negotiator, not a great businessman, not a practicing Christian like he says he is)
He's a narcissist to a level never before seen in US politics.
He has ties to the mob from several different countries.
He cozies up to dictators.
He is Putin's puppet.
He has only his interests in mind and could not care about America.
He's a serial liar (and really, this is all anyone needs to know about him to not support him).
He's an a$$hole.
He's lazy (see Executive Time and days golfing).
He's a traitor.
He's a sexual assaulter and harasser.
He's a criminal of epic proportions.
While Pence might pardon him even before an indictment comes down (I don't think he will do that though...not before any indictments), Trump will be charged with:
Obstruction of Justice
Perjury (for sure if he ever talks to Mueller, and perhaps even due to his written answers)
Conspiracy to defraud the United States of America (could end up as a bribery charge or some other charge, but this will be the idea behind those other possible charges)
Emoluments Clause violation
FELONY campaign finance law violations
Fraud of some sort (bank, wire, etc.)
Likely other things too
We have had bad Presidents before or just imperfect Presidents. Many were adulterers. Nixon was a criminal. NO ONE though compares to Donald Trump. His company is Organized Crime.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
Trumper will hate this. Will Trump void the deal by calling a national emergency?

Alan made a claim about Trump's Executive Orders after 750 days in office.
And you counter with an accounting of Executive Orders after 12 days in office????
