    You are lost again, let me try again:

    The 1960 World Series was between the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees.

    The Yankees won three of the 7 games (16–3, 10–0, and 12–0)
    The Pirates won four games (6–4, 3–2, 5–2, and 10–9)

    The Yankees scored 38 runs
    The Pirates scored 24 runs.

    A very simple questions for you:
    i) Who won the Championship?

    And for extra credit:

    Why were they declared the winner?

    I stated the facts, nothing more, nothign less..... less Americans voted for Trump then Clinton, that is just fact.... where are you confused in that statement?

    let me quote Trump for you

    "the phoney electoral collage made a laughing stock out of our nation, the loser one"

    Trump won with less votes.... just the reality of it, sad as it may be

    was Trump wrong back in 2012, I only ask as the people he hires can never disagree with him publicly per the contract they sign with him, so do you disagree with trumps previous statements?

    equal rights are not up for a vote, the majority can not vote away the rights of minorities, you know that right? the courts will always shoot that down when attempted

    You showed the currency, not the coin. Note though you are just deflecting. The phrase came a full hundred year after our country was founded. You are the one preaching "Christian values" not me.

    Yes it did.

    The recession officially ended in June 2009, according to the Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research, the official arbiter of such dates.
    Nope. But I hope he does. But he already appears to have broken one trend:

    Over Obama's Presidency, real annual GDP only grew by $2,885.8B
    https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.png?g=fpsS

    But the gross Federal Debt grew by $9,553.3B over that same period.
    https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.png?g=fpt1

    That, in my mind, is simply unsustainable. it was time for change.
    Sure there is:
    Wages are up 53 cents an hour.
    https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/surveymost?bls
    Its increased from 62.9 to 63.1 In a nation of 323 million people, those improvements add up.
    I don't think he is going to let that stop him. Congress has this terrible habit of writing legislation in such a way that it transfers authority from the Legislative branch to the Executive branch. I often have to translate regulations into policy and explain it to our workforce so they know what actions are required from them so we maintain compliance, The writing from these regulatory agencies is often indecipherable and the penalties for errors, significant, so I pull the supporting legislation and try to guess how the case law is going to develop.

    If you ever do this, and its not fun, but might be worth the learning experience, there is a phase they use over and over and over and over again: "The Secretary Shall". Every time that phrase is used, it grants law making power from the Legislative branch to the Executive branch. And if Trump can't get Congress to work with him, he's going to put these grants to good use, and he already is. He has committed his Administration to removing two regulations for every new one, and I think he is currently beating that with a three to one ratio. I know each thread seems insignificant, but in cumulative fashion it makes a difference and it is being felt bu US industry, believe me. I expect it will result in MORE GDP at the expense of lower growth in the Federal debt, and so far, that is exactly what we are seeing.
    We will see a recession. Count on it. We are way overdue and the ed is exiting their extraordinary measures, this will alter money flows and the chance that they will accompllish this without tipping the structure over is slim to none. Count on it. Plan for it.
    I'm not expecting much.
    Likely.
    We need it. Did you notice that Oroville dam nearly broke last year? Built by our Grandparents tax dollars, all we had to do was maintain it. And guess what, we didn't bother. Our infrastructure is a mess!
    We need to grow the hell out of GDP, educe unnecessary government spending and regulation, and probably, the Federal government is going to have to sell some assets.

    And we pick up a big part of the bill for the National Defense of the Free World and maintaining the freedom of navigation for the shipping lanes for the entire world. Don't be surprised if Trump doesn't figure out who is benefiting form this, followed by handing them the bill.

    Who's upset? I am sitting on my dock waiting for a fish to bite and wasting time talking to you. It seems to me you can t figure our we are a nation of laws and not a democracy.

    Trump lost more popular votes

    Gay marriage lost more popular votes in California.

    The law says they both win..

    Trump is a person to take Seriously, but not Literally!

    And you know what he did after the 2012 election? He went down to the patent office and patented the following phrase "Make American Great Again!" Oh they were laughing then. Who is laughing now?

    Christmas is a national holiday. Family get together time. YUUUUGE money spent for the holiday.
    It's not going any where. Nor is there any war on it. Except between retailers.

    Wasn't it foretold that the savior would return in the form of a p*ssy-grabbing swindler and fraud?

    Trump picked a GREAT role model!

    What was Felonious Von Pantsuit's again?

    "I'm with her?"

    She's such an idiot, forever thinking its all about her.

    Lame!
