Unsurprisingly, this thread has devolved.

re: What would you consider Trump’s 3 biggest accomplishments in his 2nd term?

Posted by junkyarddawg3 on 7/11/26 at 2:42 pm to Ag Zwin

1) Border security
2) Reduction in bureaucracy
3) Decreased taxes

Not that you asked, but on the surface I’m not happy with his rollback on the protections of public lands. But I am admittedly no expert on the topic. There are a few others, but I don’t feel the want or the need to list them.

Rule of thumb for me: if I find myself agreeing 100% with any politician, I probably need to take a look in the mirror.

No.

For me, AI is a tool; not the answer. It can help point me in the right direction, but I still have to do the work and verify everything. That includes seeking multiple sources; even the ones that I'm pretty sure come from an overall ideology that is not in line with mine.

So far AI is nothing more than a better, improved search engine, for me at least. But that's pretty darn good by itself.

I like the guitar lead / rhythm (Edge combines them).

Reminds me of some of his old riffs before the 90s.

The overall song is just ok. Just my opinion. I haven’t like much of their music since Beautiful Day.
