While looking for the video I just posted above , I saw this one. Has nothing to do with Fake News but simply hilarious. I know it doesn't belong here but I'm posting it anyway.

That's pretty weak.

Seems to me it's presidential overreach that is hitting a brick wall.

48-0-1 is a pretty good record.
Tie is given to the Muslim Ban.

Here's news about a fake situation and therefore "fake news".

How do you get 48-0-1?

I got it from MSM - all his executive orders and presidential memoranda signed.
I think it is probably more now but it's an around number.

You're right, it was a weak attempt by a reporter to try to create the impression that the water in the street was so deep that you needed a canoe.

Yes. But it's a "who cares story" anyway that even the anchors were making fun of.

I could try to make my point, but why bother?

Perhaps, but given that fact, it's odd to hear a so called conservative like oldngray talk about judicial overreach.

All the while praising and defending the use of executive orders and memorandums which he bitched and cried about for 8 years under Obama.

All Prez do it ... but they are learning from their predecessors and the Legislative bodies cannot produce quality legislation.
These two inputs to the system are occurring during the same period.

That's a round about way of saying they're not really conservatives at all.

Not sure "they" are but I'll assume the President and Congress were meant.
my take:
Trump is not a Conservative. I'm not sure he has a political ideology. I think he is someone that locked into voters in America that were disenfranchised by both Dems and Pubs ... which leads me to my point.
Trump thinks he can come in and shake things up and let the pieces fall and then he will reassemble the pieces he wants ... he has a huge ego, in case you haven't noticed.

Carter was a very humble man.

i'm sure the Iranians appreciated his humility not sure about americans. the point remains the same. it takes a narcissist or egomaniac or both to run for those positions and subject theirselves to the scrutiny.

Think about our jobs for a second. It takes a certain degree of confidence to knock on a stranger's door multiple times a day.
