    What I find funny about the whole Trump second guessing the validity of CIA/FBI/NSA/ABCDEFG... agencies intel on Russia hacking ... the media is up in arms. Yet the media has always questioned the intel on WMD's hahahaha

    The White House released the proof that they have.

    President Obama just gave his final speech.

    What grade do you give his presidency?

    I give him a solid D.

    Some facts:
    The good:
    Bin Laden killed by SEALs during his presidency
    Gay marriage passed by Supreme Court during his presidency
    Affordable Care Act passed by Supreme Court during his presidency (I know this one is polarizing, but he promised it and delivered it, flawed as it is)

    The bad:
    95 million out of the labor force (highest ever)
    $19.95 Trillion debt (almost doubled in his 8 years)
    1st President since Hoover to not have GDP above 3% in his term
    Only president to have our country at war every day of his tenure
    Won the Noble Peace Prize while bombing 8 different countries
    Race relations are the worst in my lifetime and probably since the mid 60s (that one isn't based on fact, but my opinion)
    He had 2 American's killed without due process (one was a minor). This is easily my biggest complaint with him. If Trump did this he'd be impeached today (IMO).
    Benghazi (failure to respond) and the cover up
    His desire to get out of Iraq too soon created a vaccum (ISIS)
    Police killings up 10 percent in the past year

    Legacy:
    First black president
    ObamaCare
    Democratic Party is in disarray (lost so many seats in House, Senate and state levels (close to 1000 total)).
    ISIS (who he referred to as the JV Team)
    America was so ready for a change from Obama, they elected Trump


    My list is off the top of my head. If you have anything to add in any section, feel free. All I ask is that everyone be fair and respectful.

    I think this deserves it's own thread, because this could go on for pages

    I'm both surprised and relieved there's no talking about the Russia/Trump documents. It's taking over social media right now and even making rounds in political circles.

    I looked into it. It's just a word document with absolutely no proof whatsoever. There's no actual sources at all.

    This is to Trump what the birth certificate was to Obama.

    Now apparently the FBI is investigating Trump, but unfortunately, I don't think I can trust what the FBIor CIA say. I'll listen, but with the expression of skeptical African baby on my face

    There's just absolutely no proof. It's wild that this is gaining this much steam when there's literally nothing of substance behind it besides "it really seems like something he'd do".

    The report said Trumps lawyer met with power players in Russia at the same time. He says he's never been to Russia, Prague and was on tour of USC at the time for his son who plays baseball (easily verifiable).

    4Chan trolled and the FBI, CIA, CNN, etc fail for it.

    It's amazing.

    The document is literally just a word doc with some stuff written on it. There's absolutely no verifiable evidence, yet the media is running with it. It's literally fake news although I hate using that phrase.

    I've quit depending upon broadcast news (Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, etc) for awhile now, but it still amazes me how ridiculous these organizations have become.

    CNN and Fox are mirror images of each other. They both suck
