THE ERA OF TRUMP

[StCapps]

What actions has he taken within the last 100 days. He first supported the first R healthcare bill and then tried to pass the buck off to Ryan once it became clear that the public doesn't like it, he signed a bunch of EO that were made by Obama- most of them that had actual benefits to actual people but keep on repealing it because it was made under Obama, he appointed the most swamp trench cabinet and still has a lot of other seats to fill to fulfil a functioning government, he tweeted a bunch of dumb shit, the also tweeted a bunch of stuff that makes him look like an idiot, and he also is starting to fight Canda on that soft lumber issue....

Trump shouldn't have focused on health care out the gate. I'm a fan of most of his executive orders. The sample size is too small to judge whether he has a strong or weak cabinet, but I am a fan of several key appointments to his cabinet. As for Canada, Trump is doing more to help Canada than he is you Americans, he's the Secret President of Canada. Trump hasn't done much so far because Congress is being extra slow at the moment, but that's not necessarily a bad thing considering Congress lack ideas and focus at the moment.

Overall, his first 100 days are not very impressive compared to other presidents like Obama and W. At least those guys didn't tweet that they just realized that healthcare is really complex.

You say that as if such a tweet is important, it isn't. The tweets are not a big negative in Trump's column, you need to move past the jingly keys that are so effective at distracting you from what he is actually doing.

He's signed more laws than any president since Truman.

Seriously fuck off fake news spam bot. I'm not 100% happy with Trump so far but idiots like you force me to take his side.

You are just pissed because Trump didn't build that wall yet, and didn't repeal Obamacare, yet. I mean wasn't that what he promised to do within his first 100 Days as president?

I want everyone to notice the fact this MSM spam bot forgot to use a question mark. It simply assumed my opinion.

This is why you lost. Fuck off and stay gone spam bot.

Yeah but it's mostly small ball because the Congress is too feckless to pass anything big. Perimeter game only with those fuckheads.

George Washington, Appointed Colonel-in-Chief, 1775.

Washington wasn't a Colonel-in-Chief, Colonel-in-Chief is an honorary title, not even a rank, but Washington was never one neither, Washington's highest actual rank was Colonel, of the Virginia Regiment, in 1755.

Colonel, then General, then Lieutenant-General, according to the Wikis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_ ... Washington

The General and Lt. General promotions would have no standing, rebel "ranks" made up by rebels, nobody would have listed George Washington as a General in their gazettes. The Americans recognized the European ranks, but the Europeans never returned the compliment, as soon as you stepped out of rebel held terriitory, Washington goes back to being a Colonel, whereas Friederich Von Steuben, is still a Baron.

Washington himself would have said as much, he was after all, a British Army Colonel.

This was all very official in the 18th century, your standing was based on your official rank and only your official rank, most importantly if you were captured, and upon capture, George Washington would not be granted standing as a General, he would have been treated as a Colonel.

Revolutionary War:

British: 0 Americans: 1


Battle of Isandlwana:

British: 0 Zulu: 1

Battle of Khartoum:

British: 0 Madhists: 1

The British were unable to win these decisive world battles, and for that reason, they will no longer be featured on the next Rise of Nations game. We only have so much space on the game, and we can't create the option to play as every minor world power, when there are other groups like the Bantu and Mongolians who tell a better story.

You're the one who doesn't know the difference between Colonel-in-Chief and Commander-in-Chief, but more to the point, nobody who mattered in the 18th century, would have recognized Washington's made up rebel rank as being official, John Adams had no standing to appoint anybody as a General, only a Sovereign had the authority to do that, if an American rebel had showed up in France saying "I'm a General", they would have just laughed and had him thrown out of the Officers Mess on his ass.

It was fine for the Marquis de Lafayette to play along with the rebels in order to stick it to the British, but they didn't actually think Washington was an official General, the French were at the time, as royalist as can be, the American's and their "General" was merely a means to an end, it would be like saying Fidel Castro was a "General", yeah, sure he was, in Cuba, but nowhere else.

Colonel-in-Chief was a joke, you retard!
Why did Rochambeau offer Cornwallis' sword to GENERAL Washington? (Cornwallis' had the vapors that day at Yorktown, if you recall, and couldn't surrender it himself.)
Julius Caesar was a general--who was his sovereign?
You're just being a dipshit--this time--because Canada doesn't have an independence day.

Read your own link--he was a FULL general when appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.

ermm not sure. Doesn't really matter to me, but it appears that he gained both ranks at once.

Washington was then appointed General and Commander-in-chief

[heydaralon]

I don't really understand the quibbling about ranks. A rank is not some kind of transcendent Platonic form. All ranks are constructions of the countries that founded them. Washington commanded an army, so his rank meant something, otherwise, he would not have been able to command an army. More important than his rank was his ability to defeat the British. Who gives a shit if he was a General, a private or a Staff Seargent Dignam?

You seem a little butt hurt, perhaps you need a moment to compose yourself.

Why did Rochambeau offer Cornwallis' sword to GENERAL Washington? (Cornwallis' had the vapors that day at Yorktown, if you recall, and couldn't surrender it himself.)

Surrendered to Colonel Washington, who had dressed himself up like a dandy in a "General's" uniform.

Julius Caesar was a general--who was his sovereign?

Case in point, nobody in the 18th century would have recognized Julius Ceasar's rank neither, there was no such thing as a Praetor in 1775, George Washington might as well have been calling himself a "Praetor", it amounted to the same thing; fake rank.

You're just being a dipshit--this time--because Canada doesn't have an independence day.

There's that butt hurt again.
