The A-Z if you can’t get a freebie read at the American Spectator site:
and he wasn’t a real republican!
On item (a) he cut some taxes and increased others. Some of the increases were things like tariff on steel, issued by executive order. Also the issue where state tax cannot be deducted from federal tax … that hurt the Democrat states but might in future make all states dependent on the Feds.
Wealthy people in places like New York discovered they got hit with a substantial tax hike after their deductions were taken away … but a lot of the “middle class” people did get a tax cut.
Maybe Tel, but is it right that state tax be a federal tax deduction? Hardly an incentive for state legislatures and governors to not tax your state constituents to fund your latest boondoggle is it?

I’d really like to see a list of all Aust Gov policies that benefitted Australians – since 1970 would suffice.
There could be some, but I just can’t think of them…
Learn what a conservative is.
A conservative would never introduce unfunded tax cuts that blow up the budget when a country is at full employment. A republican would however and frequently have.
The scuttling of the Iran deal had no support from anyone except the mad mullahs in Iran who lost the previous Presidential election badly because of the promise of a boost to the GDP. They are now in power and Iran are far closer to nukes than they have ever been. don’t forget that lovein with the Korean dictator. That went well didn’t it.
Trump never had an ideology at all. tto have that you need an intellect.

You need to re-read that sentence.
They are now in power and Iran are far closer to nukes than they have ever been.
News at seven, as a project progresses, it gets closer to completion. (Except, perhaps, rail and road projects under Dan of the Dead, which will not be completed until all the maaaates have got their share.)
Mentis believes he is an expert on conservatives and gives guidance on what they should think. But any person with such obvious difficulty with grammar and comprehension is probably just confused.
booofhead.
The mad mullahs lost the presidential election in Iran badly. The main issue was the deal which was seen as boosting Iran GDP. When Trump reneged on the deal without any support from the intelligent agencies or his allies he put the mad mullahs into lanslide territory come the next election.
They are also much closer to having nukes then they ever were to having nukes.
Why Trump simply wanted to ditch a successful deal Obama was in.
That is not being a conservative that is being a complete moron as Tillerson said he was.
Non Mentis
The main issue was the deal which was seen as boosting Iran GDP.
So, it was nothing to do with nuclear weapons?
without any support from the intelligent agencies
Which are these “intelligent agencies”?
a successful deal Obama was in.
Indeed. Buckets of cash, and a pathway to nuclear weapons. What was there for everyone else not to like? The EU could have made up the cash if they were so concerned. Put down the bong.
The President of the USA cannot sign any international treaty without first proposing it to the Senate and getting approval … it’s part of the US Constitution, generally called the “Treaty Clause”.
Since no approval was given for a treaty with Iran, therefore the President cannot sign any treaty … Obama was determined to barge ahead anyway and merely signed a note on his own behalf, not on behalf of his office nor the people of the USA. For that reason there was nothing for President Trump to renege on … nothing that Trump or any other President had agreed to.
Obama also wanted to stay on the good side of Saudi Arabia, so somewhat inexplicably he gave them the green light for the Yemen War … bombing food stores, and water treatment plants with US-made F-15’s while the US Navy blockaded the ports … triggering waves of famine and cholera killing mostly the young and the old. In a way, Obama was supporting a war on Al-Qaeda’s behalf against the Houthi tribes who are their sworn enemy. Al-Qaeda are hardline Sunni fundamentalists and ideologically aligned with the hardliner Wahhabi Sunnis … in contrast the Houthi are “fiver” Shiites who have a working agreement with the Iranian religious authorities.
Trump had an opportunity to stop the Yemen War but saw himself as a wheeler dealer and the Saudi money added nicely to GDP. Trump also could have continued negotiations with Iran and tried proposing his own modified treaty, with the hope that the Senate might have agreed on something. No doubt there were plenty of opportunities lost, but at least Trump did boost the economy.
err no funny enough the Iranian election was never about nuclear weapons but the result of not having them.
They all appeared before the Senate. trump always claimed he knew better.
ALL other nations agreed with this. Trump was on his pat malone
no again. There were regular inspections.
you really are not intelligent and particularly ignorant.

If it was about not having nuclear weapons, it is by definition about nuclear weapons.

Exactly what was tabled in the Senate for the Senate to “Advise and Consent”? On what date?
ALL other nations agreed with this. Trump was on his pat malone
Tonga got a vote? Impressive!
There were regular inspections.
Were they more or less effective than the UN Iraq WMD inspections? How regular? Dates they occurred?
You should have tried harder in pre-school.
All very well cutting tax for some, but certainly not all. Did he cut spending? No. He blew the deficit through the roof. He certainly did a very good job bringing forward the vaccine. But most people here think that was a fake illness, so I guess that’s a loser too.
Is stacking courts a new metric? If so, all he did was invite the Democrats to do exactly the same. And will he still live them if they don’t give him a freebie on his own possible actions?
Most of the list is rhetorical. For example, how can he claim to have eliminated IS?
Doesnt matter how good Trump was, the latest polls indicate that the Republican wave is not going to happen .The US, irrespective of voter fraud, seems to be voting for its own destruction, much like Australia.
What poll is that, Morsie?
the village idiot again. go and read about the Iranian elections fool. You put radicals into power and get them reving up nukes. Great outcome.
They appeared before committees!
No nations involved in the agreement.
The Iraqi inspection were VERY effective as we now know as yes as effective as they were.
Stupid, lazy and ignorant. you are the very model of a deplorable
Comment based on Adam Creighton article in the Oz.I find him pretty sound usuually.

They have never needed an invitation in the past, why would they need Trump to do so?

Are you so stupid and ill-informed that you think the nuclear weapons program ever needed “reving (sic) up”?
No nations involved in the agreement.
But earlier you wrote:
ALL other nations agreed with this.
Are you suffering from short-term memory loss?
The Iraqi inspection were VERY effective as we now know as yes as effective as they were.
There was a very good Four Corners program on that, in which a key inspector begged to differ.
Stupid, lazy and ignorant. You are the very model of a so-called “progressive”.
the nuke program was not going on. If it aint going on it can only be reved up.
All other nations can ONLY refer to those nations in the agreement. given you failed primary school perhaps I should have pointed that out.
Bozo, the inspectors including two Australians concluded Iraq had no weapons that could be used. any chemical weapons Hussein had previously were degraded. Read Rod Barton’s book. He was an inspector Sorry you cannot read.
Non Mentis
If you believe to hat the program was ever shut down, I have a bridge to sell you.
alas you have no evidence at all.
I have all the US intelligence agencies and all other nations in the Agreement.
you are such a bozo
Non Mentis
I have all the US intelligence agencies and all other nations in the Agreement.
Because the “intelligence agencies” did so well on the WMD issue in Iraq?
They knew that Iraq had chemical weapons, after Saddam had previously used them. But, “any chemical weapons Hussein had previously were degraded”. What does “degraded” mean? The mustard gas would only take the first layer of skin off? The nerve gas would simply cause minor twitches? Or had they completely oxidised or hydrolysed to innocuous compounds? Then there were the biologicals.
You are, and will always remain, a poorly trained (not educated) pompous ass.
PS, I accept payments in BitCoin, or I can put you onto a Nigerian who can help you with finance. Last chance for the bridge.
Degraded means they are useless which you would know if you di any work. you are lazy.
They had bugger all to hurt anybody. don’t you realise they would have used any to defend against the invasion.
Of course not you are an idiot.

ROFLMAO. The pre-school failure demonstrates that he cannot even look up a dictionary.
Macquarie Dictionary:
Degrade: … 2. to lower in character or quality, debase; …
Did you lift the word from Barton’s book? If so, I suspect that he knew exactly what he wanted to say. If not, again you demonstrate your gross ignorance by using the incorrect word.
I even gave you a hint, suggesting the potential reduced effects of degraded gases.
They had bugger all to hurt anybody.
Other than tanks, artillery, small arms, mortars, …
You do not rise even to the level of an idiot.
BJ: Inevitably means the Supreme Court will have a constitutional challenge. Just another of the basic institutions trashed. After the Trumpistas have trashed the military, State politics, FBI and policing.
Are you that stupid.
Are you claiming the degraded weapons the Inspectors found were capable of hurting anyone apart from those firing them.
you ever wonder why none were fired at all when Iraq was invaded?
Err their tanks were lacking spare parts so few were used, you are possibly the most ignorant clown I have ever come across. No wonder you like trump.
If you are wondering most of their airforce was in Iran.
