If as a Republican you think this is biased you’d best pay attention.

    Which I agree with. I only hope the cabinet will throw him out and/or the military won't back him. I am afraid his followers will, especially if he says the election was "rigged"

    Seriously the horde will revote. But Republicans don't do street demonstrations like the Left. More likely to solo mass murder/ bomb.

    The military will remove Trump if he wont' go after he loses the election.

    Heck, Melania will probably lead him out by the ear.

    The assymetry here has already been addressed, and you haven't been able to defend it. This is not how trend analysis is done. Anywhere. If it where you trend analysis was done, we'd still have to wait until Trump had been in office for 8 years to do an honest comparison. This is not an honest comparison. Even if it were, try putting the two graphs together. Just give it a try. It still doesn't make Trump look good in the way his defenders pretend.

    You can go here and see what actual GDP in real dollars has looked like over the past 10 years if you want, or you can zoom out even further and see the non-effect Trump has had: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDP. For anyone actually capable of reading a graph, Trump inherited an upward trend, the trend you guys are still trying desperately to hide. Don't want to credit Obama for that trend? Fine. Don't. I don't. But playing make-believe that it doesn't exist just because it ruins the "Trump economic miracle" daydream is just sad.

    Yep. The fact that the same trend continued through both presidencies is a good indication to me that neither deserves credit. It is like I've said before: Obama supporters mistake correlation for causation and Trump supporters can't even get the correlation part right.

    If they ever do, who will be our masters? Seriously, if the pubs were to take over the guys in charge would be rich people, owners and bosses. The types who are really demanding customers and then don't tip or supervisors who stand at the time clock with pink slips every morning. Dems would be there too but they'd listen and sympathise when you told them how your kid was out all night or at least not slap you on the fanny after leaving a quarter tip. Pubs are the Koch Bros and Dems are Elon Musk, neither one are exactly easy to work for but who's more likely to cut you some slack if you really need it.

    Yep and Hillary wins in a landslide, your predictions have no merit. If the great economy continues, you'll need to wait till 2024 to be rid of Trump, sorry!

    Obama/Biden 1.8% mean growth over all 8 years, you're right that counts.

    Nothing changes the fact Obama/Biden's economy only grew at a mean rate of 1.8% per year. Just .8% above another recession.

    My son, his daughter, and her husband and their child, a friend of her husband working with him and others have reported a super great economy.

    We fished at Tripod Lake in Idaho and up here Trump is simply loved. They tell me who just moved her a week ago from Ca that hiring is a problem for firms since they have a hard time locating workers.

    The problem is both Trump and the Dems only have their basees. No one has any wide spread support.

    As a gun owner i have to vote either Trump or throw my vote away on a 3rd party.

    I can not in good conscience vote for Democrats because they are morally wrong on so many issues.

    Same here. I would not dare take out my pistol nor the guys AR15 I fired yesterday. Here in Idaho, in stores on the countertop, signs welcome people packing pistols.

    "President Obama's decision last week to suspend the employer mandate of the Affordable Care Act may be welcome relief to businesses affected by this provision, but it raises grave concerns about his understanding of the role of the executive in our system of government.


    Article II, Section 3, of the Constitution states that the president "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." This is a duty, not a discretionary power. While the president does have substantial discretion about how to enforce a law, he has no discretion about whether to do so."

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323823004578591503509555268

    Someone else already mentioned DACA, where the president unilaterally decided not to enforce a law he didn't like. The president is not authorized to do that, and Nixon was taken to the Supreme Court and lost over the very same issue.

    I know of no leftist who has been doxxed by the right unless s/he committed a crime, like bike lock guy.

    Demonizing your opponents has been the Democratic strategy for practically its entire existence. "Lincoln is going to free your slaves!" "Hoover is going to put everyone in the poorhouse!" "Reagan is going to starve your children!" "Bush is going to end your Social Security!" "Bush (II) is going to start WWIII!" Besides promising unending free everything to everyone, demonizing Republicans is the only thing the left has.


    If you can't tell the difference between a natural disaster like a hurricane and a manmade slaughter like the Ukraine famine, I can't help you.

    10 million people died as a direct result of communist land reforms. Funny that none of the commie regimes learned from their mistakes and suffered the same exact consequences. That's what happens when you take things from competent successful people and use it for the "common good"

    Our rich are competently and successfully bribing Congress to continue the income redistribution from low to high.
