    Reckless Trump administration is endangering the lives of millions of Americans who live in hurricane zones.  Without congress approval, hundreds of millions of dollars are diverted from Federal emergency management agency to separate and jail migrant families.  This weakens government ability to help Americans for priority of diaster relief.  19 states have filed a lawsuit opposing Trump's illegal policy of indefinite detention inflicting trauma on children.  Previously, courts have ruled against Trump's abuses of power.

    Tough questions to ask Trump in a debate...

    What's anything from the Bible?

    What building are you in?

    What's a birthday that isn't yours?

    What does red and blue make?

    What day of the month was 9/ll?

    Are wizards real?

    What are your children's names?

    What is the USA going to do with the situation in Wakanda? (He'll probably say "Were looking into it but nobody knows more about Wakanda than me.")

    0 multiplied by anything is?

    I'll show you an object and you just tell me what it is.

    How many continents are there? 

    Who let the dogs out?

    Name any 5 Supreme Court Justices.

    Is Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?

    That is not another gender. That is an identity. 

    If male is XY
    Female is XX

    Gender X is what? 

    Gender X are either XX or XY regardless of how they identify. I believe there are over 60 unique gender identities, none of which are a third gender.

    Gender X is what? 

    Gender X are either XX or XY regardless of how they identify. I believe there are over 60 unique gender identities, none of which are a third gender.



    Disagree with your own government? Go argue with it then, i'm fine with it.

Bush in assessing previous 7 presidents.  Overall, Obama's economy has the second biggest improvement.  In the future, Cspan survey of 70+ historians are likely to rank Obama higher than Trump in economic management.

    Obama did not inherit anything...he bid on the job....Obama had 32 quarters to achieve 3%+GDP ..whereas President Trump has only had 10 quarters ..pineapples to oranges.

    In fact the Obama is the only President in history to never have a year of 3% GDP growth during his term in office. Despite a cumulative $7 trillion in deficit spending during his presidency.

    With an average annual GDP growth of 1.48% during Obama's two terms...that's pretty impressive there thirdperson and something to really cheer about...

    Speaking of Hillary Ropdman Clinton....

    She spoke to a crowd of young progressives in New York this week  and whined about her crushing defeat in 2016..and then lectured them on how to win the 2020 election..

    This makes me think if she now thinks she has figured it out and knows how to win in 2020...than she's just waiting in the wings for the rest of the 2020 presidential candidates to eliminate themselves..(and they are doing a good job at that )and she will come riding in to save the Democrat party from a land side loss in 2020..

    Obama was better for your 401(k) than Trump has been


    Democrats, in reality, are good for the stock market. The S&P 500 has risen by about 28% since Trump’s inauguration in 2017. That’s okay. But it rose 34% during the same period of time in Barack Obama’s first term, and 41% during the same period of time in Obama’s second term. Here are the numbers going back to Richard Nixon’s first term...

    Since  poor people do not much have money in the stock market..and very few have 401k's.   In fact,, only 52 % of U.S. adults owned stock at the end of Obama's presidency in 2016.

    So, if Obama raised 401k's higher than President Trump he is directly responsible for increasing the wealth inequality in the United States and the wealth gap among Americans ..

    Trump has worsen income inequality by tax cuts that benefit mostly the rich at the expense of most Americans.  Tax savings went to stock buybacks and dividend payouts as business investment declined.  Wages for 90% of Americans remain stagnant.  Also Trump weakens consumer or financial protections, sabotages social safety net such as Obamacare,  and reduces education spending.

    In contrast, Obama has spend more on anti-inequality programs than any president in 50 years according to Congress budget office.  Result is slower growth in income inequality according to Tax policy center and Urban institute.  Obamacare helps to reduce uninsured rate to lowest in US history.  Tax credits and tax cuts for most households except the rich.  Tax hikes for estates and households earning over $450,000.  Extension of unemployment benefits kept millions of people out of poverty.  Expansion of food stamps and temporary aid for needy families.  Support for higher minimum wage.  More federal funds for states education budgets.  Average wages increased more than all wage growth from 1973-2007.

    SSLim, people and media do them often too.

      

    Donald Trump Is Cluelessly and Hilariously Spelling Everything Wrong on Twitter Today (UPDATED)


    Here, the real estate mogul and graduate of Wharton School of Business at the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania misspelled two words in a row: “leightweight chocker”, which I can only assume is meant to be “lightweight choker”. REMARKABLY, 30 minutes later the man Tweeted THE SAME EXACT MISTAKE VERBATIM:

    Your outrage comes off as a tad insincere. There was a mass shooting at a football gm the other day. Maybe I missed your post. Don't think I did. What gun violence do you choose to exploit? 

    If you take a gun from John Smith at 123 Main Street in anytown USA, how can he defend his property from those who don't hand in their weapons?

    Dropping a peace symbol to show solidarity with the masses does nothing except feed your id. You are investing too much of your ideology in social media virtue signaling.
