I just tried it on a youtube on the next page. Spacebar kicked me out of the close caption feature. Maybe it will work on a different one.

@roger,

It activates the last thing you click, so if you click cc, then just click the video and then space bar will pause. If cc is last thing clicked, it will turn cc off and on.

Thanks, Gent. That could come in handy. I didn't know how it worked, but I know that sometimes I see printed text. I figured I had just accidentally clicked on an icon that made it do that. Guess what I did was hit the space bar, eh?

I think the fact that he seems to be accomplishing more in 3 months than Obammy did in 8 years should be competent enough for anyone except those who seek to destroy him. As for "strange" if you mean not like your regular cookie cutter politico, I for one (as well as millions like me) think that's a good thing.

If you consider tearing things down, destroying worthwhile institutionsl and pursuing policies that are anathema to the large majority of American people, then , yes, Trumps is accomplishing more. And all of what he is "accomplishing" is pernicious. And many more millions think so than think like you. Sorry, but that's the simple fact.

Let em eat cake, eh?

The multitude of beheadings and the ambitious military plans of Bonaparte are being mirrored in the middle east today, where ISIS is determined to turn the entire world into a muslim caliphate.

That's cool, though. Trump's generals know how to deal with those fanatics.

@giujohn,

The hard right zealots like gooeyjohn who mainrtain that people without health care won't be dieing because they can always go to an emergency room at a hospital and the hospital has to eat the cost, is stupid. People with no health insurance tend to be much sicker when they finally go to an emergency room. Something that would be easily treatable if treated earlier on very often progresses much further before the uninsured gets to the emergency room. And tdiseases or conditions that are easily detectable and treatable if caughet earlier on can p;rogress much further and get more far more serious if not detected early, which regular checkups (paid for by Obamacare but Fbf''xond likely done away with by states that apply for waivers und er Trumpcare). Emergency rooms deal with crises, not prevention. That's one reason single-payer and government supported health care systems get better results and cost less--they emphasize preventive care and consequently beed less of the far more expensive crisis care the American system has fostered. So, yeah, people WILL die under the extremely dumb GOP Trumpcare system...

Yeah, not so much. Just a matter of what you consider worthwhile.

Trump promised smaller government and he's delivering. Fewer regulations, check. Tax cuts, in the works. Repeal and Replace, through the House. Border wall, ummmm... eventually maybe?

@McGentrix,

Yeah, as the research shows, his policies are overhwlemingly rejected by the majority of /Americans, but Trump pays absolutely no attention to the peo[ple and persists in policies that only the most fanatically right-wing support. He has totally upended Abe Lincoln's ":government of the people, by the people for the people", often cited as the most succinct definition of democracy, to "Government of the people, by the bi9lionaires, for the billionaires". wioth massive tax cuts for the very rich, and massive cuts in programs that everybody else wants. That''s why his approval rating can't seem to get out of the 40% range. He remains hugely unpopular and qill until he starts doing things the majority of the coutnrywants.

I think he's hoping that as long as he keeps up the anti Muslim, anti immigrant genitalia his bigoted supporters will happily keep voting against their own self interest.

@MontereyJack,

"overwhelmingly rejected"? Please. Let's keep the exaggeration to a minimum. He is getting rid of the bulky wasted government that people have been complaining about for the past 50 years.

Can you even tell us what the "massive tax cuts for the very rich" even are other than the rhetoric you hear in the media? Which programs are being given massive cuts?

As a middle class guy that pays what I consider excessive taxes, the tax cuts I have read about I am looking very much forward to.

As low as his approval numbers are, I believe Hillary's would be even lower. The country is in the midst of a very polarized time. We've been at war for entirely too long, there is a giant perceived gap between the extremely rich and everyone else, we've just come off a President that accomplished very little when you actually look at promises made compared to promises kept. Oh, and he gathered more debt than every President before him... combined.
