    This year's been a wild Wild WILD ride.

    From HeWillNotDivideUs, to bombing Syria.

    To the MSM becoming basically the commentators of a reality TV show in their own personal delusional bubble that's disconnected from reality itself rather than actually telling the fucking news like they're supposed to

    to the whole Russia "investigation" witch-hunt leading to a whole gigantic nothing burger,

    and topped off with more political riots than you can throw a dart at.

    If this year's moral outrage is THIS crazy, 2018 is going to be unbelievable.

     

    Given that the current Legacy Dinosaur media refuses to cover all of the accomplishments of the current President I decided I will list them here:

     

    1. Appointed a new Supreme Court Judge Gorsuch

    2. (not happy with this) 59 missiles dropped in Syria

    3. Axed the Trans-Pacific-Partnership

    4. Illegal immigration is down 70% (lowest in 17 years)

    5. Consumer confidence the highest since 2000 at index 125.6

    6. Mortgage applications for new homes rise to a seven year high

    7. Arranged from 7% to 24% Tariff on lumber from Canada

    8. Banned Trans"genders" from joining the military on the basis of disallowing taxpayer funded sex-change medical procedures (controversial, but I can see the reasoning)

    9. Bids for boarder wall are well underway (still needs to be built)

    10. Pulled out of lopsided Paris Climate Accord

    11. Keystone pipeline approved

    12. NATO allies boost spending by 4.3%

    13. Allowing VA to terminate bad employees

    14. Allowing private healthcare choices for veterans (should be for whole country, but I digress)

    15. More than 600,000 full time jobs created

    16. Median household income at a 7 year high

    17. The Stock Market is at the highest ever in its history

    18. China agreed to American import of beef

    19. Over $89 Billion saved in regulation rollbacks, including a boost to coal mining

    20. Dropped a MOAB on ISIS

    21. (With majority help from Russia and Syria) Defeated ISIS in Syria

    22. Temporary travel ban reinstated

    23. Executive order for Religious freedom (surprising, because I thought it was self evident)

    24. Jump started NASA

    25. $600 million cut from UN peacekeeping budget

    26. Deporting violent illegal immigrants

    27. Targeting of MS13 gangs

    28. Signed 41 bills to date

    29. Created a commission into child trafficking

    30. Created a commission into voter fraud

    31. Created a commission into opiods addiction

    32. Giving power to states to drug test unemployment welfare recipients (they've passed this here in AUS too. Is good)

    33. Unemployment lowest since May of 2007

    34. Historic Black College University initiative

    35. Women in Entrepreneurship Act

    36. Reversed Dodd-Frank

    37. Created an office for illegal immigrant crime victims

    38. Repealed DOT ruling which would have taken power away from local governments for infrastructure planning

    39. Executive Order to stop crime against law enforcement

    40. End of DAPA program

    41. Stopped some companies from moving out of America (i.e. Silicon Valley companies)

    42. Promoted businesses to create American Jobs, which is encouraging the country to once again - "Buy American, Hire American"

    43. Cut regulations - 2 for every one created

    44. Review of all trade agreements to make sure they are America first (keeping his campaign promise)

    45. Apprentice Program

    46. Highest manufacturing surge in 3 years

    47. $78 Billion promised reinvestment from major businesses like Exxon, Bayer, Apple, SoftBank, Toyota

    48. Denied the FBI a new building

    49. Over $700 million saved with the F-35 renegotiation

    50. Saved $22 million by reducing the White House payroll

    54. Gas prices the lowest in more than 12 years.

    55. Signed Executive Order to Promote Energy Independence and Economic Growth

    56. Has already accomplished more to stop government interference into people's lives than any President in US history

    57. Has passed more legislation in his first 100 days than any President since Harry Truman

    58. Has given Head Executive of each branches a 6 month time frame, dated March 15 2017, to trim the fat, restructure, and improve efficiency of their branch (Obsurve the push-back, the leaks, the lies, as entrenched POWER refuses to go silently into that good night)

    59. Stopped government funding to Planned Parenthood (No more taxpayer funded abortions)

    60. Last but not least, he refused his Presidential paycheck, and donated it to Veteran's issues.

    Now you go ahead and tell me that POTUS Donald John Trump has not done anything this year. I'm not even a core supporter and I still think that's an impressive year.

    Can't we all just get along?

    This is a thread for burying hatchets and for forgiving others you may have had heated feuds or flame wars with.

    Because if we can't get along with others, who CAN we get along with?

    This might be inappropriate for serious topics, but I can't think of stuff that's more serious than forgiveness, so this is a necessity.
