Comment: Don’t Get Fooled, Trump Is Winning

http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world...1,ansmsnnews11,ansmsnnews11&OCID=ansmsnnews11

Despite evidence to the contrary, President Trump is making changes in his first 100 days that will affect America for decades to come.

One of his key weapons has been the Congressional Review Act (CRA), a 1996 law that allows Congress to repeal recent regulations. Before Trump took office, this law had been used just once. Since taking office, however, President Trump has signed 11 of these CRAs into law, effectively reversing several last-minute Obama-era regulations.

Of course, the most obvious evidence that Trump is changing the future is the Neil Gorsuch nomination. Supreme Court Justices are given a lifetime appointment, so it’s hard to overemphasize the potential impact of confirming a young nominee who shares your worldview. But this could be just the beginning. Rumors swirling about the possibility that Justice Anthony Kennedy might soon announce his retirement serve as a reminder that Trump could dramatically shift the balance of the Supreme Court for decades.

There’s no telling how many federal judges, never mind Supreme Court Justices, he might appoint. There’s no telling how many bureaucratic regulations he might repeal.

Most political change is incremental. The greatest trick Donald Trump ever pulled was convincing the world that his presidency was floundering.

I like the play on words of the last sentence.

How many self made billionaires has the glorious state of Canuckistan spawned in the last 20yrs?

Oh none. Thx.
Canada is the picture centerpiece of why Trump is POTUS, should be POTUS, AND why all Hilary voters should be countered at every turn.

Actually, Trump IS floundering. Only about 1/3 of U.S. citizens approve of the job he's doing and 17% approve of his idea to repeal Obamacare. I wouldn't exactly call that a "trick" on Trump's part - he really is screwing up the U.S., thanks to the people who voted for him and to the people who didn't vote at all.

But he is still getting the conservative agenda pushed through even in the face of mass unpopularity. With a supposed Republican as POTUS and a Republican controlled Congress and now a conservative SCOTUS there is not much liberals can do to stop him.

I don't like it very much but that is the reality.

Fingers crossed he only last 4 years at most and the Democrats can recover enough and use the backlash to regain control over Congress.

Actually, it's at 40%, which is low, but better than 1/3. Considering how he has been castigated by most of the national press and that he had a low rating even before he took office, it's not as bad as could e expected. http://www.gallup.com/poll/201617/gallup-daily-trump-job-approval.aspx

Our provincial premier has very low popularity rating. And yet not too long ago she got elected with a majority. Until she calls an election after 4 years of rule there is fuck all anybody can do about it but bitch and moan. Or in the US case demonstrate.

So Trump is president because Canada exists? That's some interesting bullshit. Couldn't you also say that Trump is president because Zaire is a place?

Even the conservatives loons at the Heritage Foundation rank Canada (#7) as more "free" than the United States (#17). In fact an evil, liberal country like The Netherlands (#15) and a gun-less Australia (#5) are more "free" than the U.S. Why not blame them?

Two recent additions to the DHS have ties to anti-immigrant hate groups.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/11/politics/trump-immigration-advisers-hate-groups/

Jon Feere, a former legal policy analyst for the Center for Immigration Studies, or CIS, has been hired as an adviser to Thomas D. Homan, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to Homeland Security spokesman David Lapan.

At Customs and Border Protection, Julie Kirchner, the former executive director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, has been hired as an adviser to Customs and Border Protection acting Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, said Lapan.

CIS and FAIR are think tanks based in Washington that advocate restricting legal and illegal immigration, but whose more extreme views on illegal immigration and undocumented immigrants have earned them hate group designations by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil rights organization that has been tracking hate groups since the 1980s.

The Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that fights anti-Semitism, has also criticized both groups for frequently publishing the works of and collaborating with known anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers.

The haters are winning.

They believe polls that reflect what they already believe.
