I'll never forget the comment by Bill Clinton's chief dog washer, George Stephanopoulos, when he said on Larry King Live that "The President has kept all the promises he intended to keep."
I'm always still in trouble again
"You're by far the worst poster on TWeb" and "TWeb's biggest liar" --starlight (the guy who says Stalin was a right-winger)
"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight
"Of course, human life begins at fertilization that’s not the argument." --Tassman

Trump tried to keep most of his promises, but was hamstrung by the Democrats. Like his border wall. And on replacing Obamacare, I blame the Republican congress on that one. They controlled both houses at the beginning of Trump's presidency, and he kept trying to get them to come up with a plan to replace Obamacare and they did nothing. For years they complained about it, but when push comes to shove, they were all talk and no action. Trump did eliminate the stupid fine that people were charged if they didn't have insurance. It was more than the insurance!
