I was just reading an article about this. They made it seem like it was Trump's idea but he would have probably tried to reverse them with an executive order if it wasn't for Ivanka and her husband.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Helped Thwart L.G.B.T. Rights Rollback

that's weird I quoted Lucem and it showed up as Chula. Whatever.

That's not what I meant, I meant as in how Obama bent over backwards trying to make the Republicans happy even though he had a Democrat majority in house. He should have just done what they hell he wanted. The same way Republicans always do. With out giving a damn.

Someone should ask President Daddy for his views on De Emerald Isle.

I really don't think enough people appreciate Obama, looking back. We can sit here and pretend America has become a ruined waste land of poverty as we luxuriously sit back at our computers and yell at each other over simple misunderstandings and light opinion differences, but I mean, we could have been jobless and starving if Obama really did **** up. That's the path we were heading down. He prevented that and slowly turned it back on the right path. We are still one of the richest countries in the world. Cherish that. Because Trump might ruin it.

You think he didn't?

Obama has issued 195 executive orders as of Tuesday. Published alongside them in the Federal Register are 198 presidential memoranda — all of which carry the same legal force as executive orders. He's already signed 33% more presidential memoranda in less than six years than Bush did in eight.

Did you seriously just quote Infowars? I'd say that means you just lost the debate by default.

You know why he had to do those Orders? He was too busy trying to be Bi-partisan during the first two years and when that didn't work. They forced his hand to do those orders to get certain things done.

Alex Jones gets all his information from VERY reputable sources...

in the new Joe Rogan podcast he talks about the psychic vampires and the interdimensional communication from the Elite to drain the energy from our youth

... no seriously.

At one simplistic level, good governing is like good parenting. Like the law about wearing a crash helmet on a motorbike; a sunny day on an empty road and you may not want to do it, but you know it makes sense.

^ At last someone has mentioned this clear-cut example of terrible parenting."Let's forget about long-term irreversible harm to the environment of the whole planet. Let's sacrifice that for the short term benefit of the USA."
That's an approach typically taken by commercial companies clamouring for profits, which is why they should be regulated by a government that sees a bigger picture. Unfortunately, Trump is parenting on the Homer Simpson model, "Sure Bart, eat all the candy you want and no need to brush your teeth afterwards. Dental decay is just a scam cooked up by scientists, like global warming."

I think pro-fossil Trump with his scorn for alternative fuels is going to be more damaging, long-term, than his clumsy meddling with the immigration rules.
