Objectively speaking he improved the VA appeal process, halted mass illegal immigration, and temporarily stopped entry by jihadists.

But he spawned a plethora of domestic jihadists.

Bingo!

Many people believe that Trump's border wall, so called "Muslim ban" (ask victims of 9/11, Boston bombings, and terror attacks in Europe what they think), tax cuts, foreign policy and trade policies (and the 1,000,000 jobs they created) were great for America.

And?

And Trump did things that were good.
That’s not what that means.

Building the wall was good.

It isn't complete.  I don't congratulate a contractor for accomplishing half a build.

President Biden needs to wear hats, he needs to wear the cool hats like Humphrey Bogart wore. I just think our President would look cool in hats, he needs to add hats to his wardrobe.

Salute,

Tony V.

Hats off to Tony for cutting to the core issue of the day!

Indeed.
A President should have style.
What about a red cap, in honour of the far left who got him into office?

Scummo gets good mileage out of his bright red rubber nose and white face paint. It seems to really impress the Chinese. I’m not sure about the giant shoes though. I don’t think they really convey the gravitas he intends.

LOL
I do like your way with words.

There were 650 something miles of barrier prior to trump, there are 660 and change miles now along a border that is pretty close to 2000 miles.

Half done is very very generous. Much closer to a totally empty scam.

That a belief is popular does not make it so.
Really?
What is it then?

You were duped, dupe, or you willfully promulgate lies in the hope of duping others. Either way, you’ll be a poisonous bastard until you admit it.

Wait...

Is Ward pretending that because a belief is popular, therefore it's true?!

Around the bend, he has gone!

Fifth column Beau made a nice list of trump accomplishments, though he put in a couple of nit picks as well,

It does help me get my head around a more conservative point of view.

This was good.

Obama had the cages

This is the guy complaining I engaged in "whataboutism" a page or two ago! What a maroon.

Regardless... Apples and oranges and long since cleared up.

But you just keep up with your bullshit.

(And when he did it, we spoke up and said it was wrong. And when he was told to stop it, he stopped it.

But YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES never admitted it was wrong.

And when the courts told Trump's administration to stop, they did.

And OBAMA's administration NEVER made a policy out of separating families from children and then INTENTIONALLY making it hard to reconnect them, let alone lying to the court about it multiple times.

And... the Obama administration was terrible in its treatment of them, which led to the consent decree, which Trump's administration ignored and fought tooth and nail against. "Blankets and soap are not necessary for safety and health..."

So stick your  "Obama had cages" up your ass and simply admit that Trump should never have had them.

It British English spelling from an Australian.


Indeed.

honour
colour
humour
neighbour
rumour
endeavour

then there are also the 'L's.

cancelling
travelling

One claim...

Americans eliminated unnecessary letters from the British spellings of words such as "cancelled" and "colour" because U.S. newspapers charged by the letter for advertising.

Trump should never have separated the children from their parents.
Australia had 'family' units in detention centres.

If Trump thought the parents and the children should've been separated for a short time because of the vulnerability of the children, he should have microchipped the children and parents, and/or very carefully documented them and their parents.
Well that would've been better that what was done. At least the parents and children could've been reunited.

Speaking of ScoMo [Scott Morrison, Australian Prime Minister] ...

Anthony Albanese accused Scott Morrison of pandering to Trump. Picture: Sunday Telegraph / Gaye GerardSource:News Corp Australia

The comments come after Labor leader Anthony Albanese accused the prime minister of going “too far” in his relationship with Mr Trump.
He said Mr Morrison’s pandering to the outgoing-president, including appearing alongside him at a partisan rally in September 2019, would damage his chances of establishing ties with Mr Biden.

We'll see.

That a belief is popular does not make it so.

Really?
What is it then?

You said that “That a belief is popular does not make it so”.
Think about your construction.
If you meant That a belief is popular does not make it true then say it that way.
YanKGuy must have fallen asleep.
