    I guess you gave up on your "non college educated" idea and went back to what you really meant. Its OK though. Us stupid uneducated people will continue to do just fine.

    And for the record, I didnt vote for either one of them. But the hatred you show is the same hatred Clinton showed and it cost her the election. And it will cost dems 2020 also unless you guys put a corl in it.

    How did the Dems forget the Blue collar workers? (often called the "Blue Collar Elite" since many make 6 figures) What did Trump promise them that the Dems didn't?

    Be careful who you vote for in Youngstown.
    Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters.

    But we were all WORKING by 2016

    I guess it was the comeback of all those factory jobs loading light boxes and making $100 an hour that everybody thought Trump was talking about, well, everybody who was retired at least

    I wish I made that much money in a year. We need to raise SS entitlement funds 50% to keep up with the billionaires.

    I love the complains about so call free stuff that the poor are getting but when the upper one half of of percent hired an army of lobbyists that out number the members of congress by factor of ten or so get tax laws written for themselves and others benefits for themselves that amount to far more then what any other group is receiving from governments at all levels no one seem to care.

    When public lands worth billions and tax breaks also worth billions are given to some billionaire so he can set up a sport team once more all anyone care about is the fairly small amount given of free stuffs to the poorest of the poor.

    Love how we are being play for fools.

    Big surprise coming -- even though I'm a rock-solid fiscal Conservative and, yes, I did vote for Trump (there was NO sensible alternative), I am greatly in favor of totally re-writing the U. S. Tax Code so that ALL tax loopholes, tax shelters, tax write-off's, exclusions, exemptions, deductions, and "carried interest" are removed ENTIRELY. Are you?

    Hint: the big-rich of BOTH political parties -- "Fat Cat" Republicans, AND "Limousine Liberal" Democrats love this stinking, rotten tax code just exactly the way it is! BOTH of them laugh all the way to the bank! :party:

    Purely in response to the Left wing troll bait in an earlier post. Tit-for-tat... "quid pro quo"....

    A couple of years ago while having casual conversation with a woman who identified herself as a public school teacher, I asked her in an off-hand way, "What's the cube-root of 27?" She looked a little bit 'vacant', and then replied, "Three...(?)". I could go on and on.... :spin:

    The division in this country started with Obama attacking conservatives and accelerated witb

    Liberal ideology has been running government since the 1970s of schools are bad today it's not Trump's fault.

    Well first and foremost he actually went to those states and asked for their votes. But the below poster is right he talked up bring back manufacturing, mining, and other industrial jobs. I am not saying he did it or even meant it but he talked about it. Hilary and the left in general has been catering to more specific groups such as African Americans, lgbtq community, and other more disenfranchised groups. Now there is no problem with that but they have to realize that when you do not focus on a group that group looks for some one who will. That balance is a hard thing to maintain in a big tent party.

    What the hell are you talking about as 3x3=9 and 9x3=27 so the teacher was correct.

    If this teacher is not teaching at a grade level where powers are normally deal with I also can not see anything surprising that it would take a few moments to come up with the answer.

    Would be interesting to know if our president could come up with that answer.

    Yes it is not Trump fault however Trump becoming president is partly the fault of our education system with special note of lack of teaching world and american history.

    Huey Long come to mind as a pre Trump Trump.

    My deepest apologies for showing my stupid ass, Bill. In truth, the teacher said "NINE", and then I replied, "No, it's three", but now I've screwed the damned story up and covered myself in my own stupid negligence. That's what I get for trying to be clever when I've only had one cup of coffee.... It's a beneficial thing to be humbled from time to time, even if it is unpleasant.

    Not True. Trump is president because Hillary is a criminal and everyone knows it.
    Obama stole our paychecks and gave them to medical insurers. He also used the IRS as a weapon targeting conservative non profits. Hillary also ran a horrible campaign
    Trump became becoming president had nothing to do with education.
    But thanks for insinuating that people who voted for Trump are stupid.

    Thanks for being gracious, Bill. No, I screwed up, pure and simple. I was trying to be a smart-ass, and it blew up in my own face because I didn't re-read what I had written before I posted it. Guess my education had a few holes in it, because I'm usually more careful. But, my 'DOH!' :wall:

    If nothing else, Ocort (my name for "AOC") should have taken a course in dendrology. She obviously understands as little about economies as she does about botany....

    NEED MONEY FOR MORE HANDOUT GOVERNMENT WELFARE "SUBSIDIES" AND WELFARE PROGRAMS...?

    upload_2019-3-8_17-56-12.png . She went to college, majoring in international relations and economics! :spin:

    Ummmmmmmm . . . the Left has pretty much controlled both public education and most colleges for at least the last forty years. So the Right needs to resume control of education so that youngsters will become properly educated again? Sweet!

    Wouldn]t that lead to a paradox? If they were educated then they would be smart enough to not be fooled by trump.

    BTW, hitler rose to power in spite of the fact that germany had some of the smartest people in the world. trump used hitler's "big lie" propaganda to get himself elected, imo.
