So if you think the Dems are a better option, I am assuming you cashed out and are sitting on Gold, Silver, Bitcoin or Wizcoin.



It does not logically follow that you should pull out of the market because you believe there will be lower performance under the rule of one party or the other. You should only do that if you think those things you listed will also outperform the lower market.

As it was, There was growth under both parties, but more growth under the recent democrat administrations.

Again for an "intelligent " man if you really think this is an option you should really have invested in ZZBest carpet in the late 80's. Of course you are smarter than this as I and many others have made good money off your stock picks.

So if you think the Dems are a better option, I am assuming you cashed out and are sitting on Gold, Silver, Bitcoin or Wizcoin.

You, me or anyone else will never make a difference so why not profit from it? Unless you think the 2 party system is changing in our lifetimes. And no, you or me complaining about it won't change it. But you go ahead with your thoughts. In today's America they are welcome, and laughed at. So why not enjoy your life?



I will try to make this plainer for you, if someone supports a dimwit like Trump then they do not belong in office. This is not difficult and it doesn't matter which friggin' party. The only people who can drain the swamp are us citizens. It needs to begin somewhere. Start with the Gullibles and we can move on to whatever dimwitted Dems who do not do their jobs and do not belong in office.
Again, this is not difficult to understand. People who are taking this country down the crapper need to get flushed.

Come on ams, you know better! Under reconciliation rules there are many things that cannot be put in the bills. It hamstrings the bill writer severely. Trumps main problem is that he can't get 50 Repub Senators to agree on pretty much anything. Can you imagine how little would be being done if HRC was President with the present Republican makeup of the House and Senate? The Repubs can't even agree on a bill that DJT would sign. What chance would there be of finding a consensus on a bill HRC would sign????!!!!!



Senate Republicans need fifty votes to pass a healthcare bill under the Senate's budget reconciliation process.

On Tuesday, Trump called for Senate Republicans to eliminate the legislative filibuster to pass a healthcare bill — although the Republicans already plan to bypass the filibuster through reconciliation.

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/335751-trump-presses-gop-senators-to-quickly-pass-obamacare-repeal

With regarding your comment that preludes to the obstructions by the GOP, you can blame it on the abusive of gerrymandering.

Roger Waters (Pink Floyd-Bass) just started his latest tour
It is very anti-Trump
Many Trump supporters walked out of the show
They really showed Waters, buy an expensive ticket then walk out
ROTFL
Thank goodness for Liberal arts to keep the masses entertained.
Conservative artists are few and not nearly as entertaining.

I thought the policies enacted* by presidents took many years before we see the effect, depending on severity. It's not like a tax increase or decrease is going to have a major effect on the economy in the short term, but in the long term will tend upwards or downwards based on the policies (as well as other stuff). It takes time before we see the effects of the policies -- if taxes are reduced and people spend more money boosting the economy, that is something we immediately see.

Perhaps "enacted" isn't the right word, I'm not sure.


My 2 cents.

She is neither wanted, or needed.

I think I'll conduct a write in campaign for Putin. Can't be any worse than what we have.

I'm a yuge free speech guy, and generally don't think your opinions or sense of humor should affect your livelihood, as long as you express them away from your job. At this moment that probably puts me more at odds with liberals than conservatives. Hard to say.

If Kathy Griffen worked at Lowe's I would find attacking her employment far more objectionable. However, it's a bit different when your job is being a public figure. Essentially, the only function you have is making people like you and want to watch or listen to you. So if you make them dislike you, then you no longer perform that function.

If you joke about killing the president, you aren't going to be working at CNN very long.

If Dennis Miller did a hang Obama thing, he would also have been BBQ.

I don't blame CNN for canning her. The photo was distasteful at best, and when you're a public figure appearances do matter. I don't like the idea of news anchors vocalizing their opinions in super public and extreme ways. They should try to appear as neutral as possible to the general public. I went on a spiel about it earlier, but I don't this trend of political commentators on the news either. People start confusing opinion with fact.

Trump has actually committed despicable acts and gotten away with it.

Yea he should have been canned before November even came. They can both F off as far as I'm concerned.

Didn't realize KG wasn't a news anchor. Still doesn't change much. Your employer can throw you out for distasteful public acts, especially when you're representing said company in a public broadcast.

You're entitled to your opinion but, I'm with Soopoo on this, nothing has been "ruined". I'm A-OK. Bush may not have been the best President but life has gone on and some have flourished. If you found difficult times during this period then maybe, just maybe, it wasn't Bush's fault?

National debt number one and other laws passed ending with tarp bailouts while Americans have life long debt that can never be repaid or released. Stem cell research should not have been interfered with either. The babies are dead tomatoes already, could have saved lives, and the abortions happen anyways . We're so far from a real government with a basis in the constitution, it's almost like America really doesn't exist but in name.

I get it. But most politicians are disgusting people. We have the chance to fire them every few years.

As I said before Trump has a looooooong way to go before he gets as many naughty points as the people who gave us the Iraq war.

He could certainly get there though.

What points do you think he made today? I got the impression he has no idea what the Accord is about but somehow thinks he is going to be a hero to a bunch of unemployed coal minors. Is this supposed to convince developers to build new coal powered plants? Is surrendering Americas place at the forefront of renewable energy supposed to enhance our standing in the world?

He had absolutely no idea what he was talking about today. That was evident to anyone who knows anything.

But I can understand why his supporters think he made good points. Because his points were fictional, as is most of the stuff they believe.

I figured this would happen. She didn't do anything illegal (not an excuse), and got fired for it (rightfully so in my opinion). But that's why we have civil courts.

It's all a big PR stunt for her at this point, so she'll benefit no matter what.

You cannot work in a coal mine if you are not 18.

Obama declared war on the coal industry. America is the Saudi Arabia of coal, lifetimes worth of the stuff to bring up. Only an incredibly stupid person would enter a treaty that effectively kills use of one of their most abundant resources. His party is against fracking as well. I suppose electricity comes magically from the outlet in the liberal mind.

If anyone wants to be a leader in renewables, they can still invest in them. What they lose is the government forcing people to buy from companies who are set up to profit from the GW nonsense. Did you notice one of the guys most upset is the guy who has a company that makes a fortune trading EV credits on cars that the government forces unprofitable production of?

Give away your freedoms if you like. Give away your money if you like. Quit forcing the rest of us to all because of fake science.

Jobs numbers out today. YTD average for this year is 162,000 vs. 187,000 for last year. Yep. Great progress....LOL.

Here is where Dumb Trump is taking us:
Fewer new jobs.
Less unemployment because of fewer workers being available.
Higher hourly wage costs.
Lower GDP growth because of a shrinking populace and fewer jobs. No population growth=Lower job growth=Lower GDP growth.
Probable high inflation period even though we will have miniscule GDP growth.
Ballooning debt because of higher interest rates and lower GDP growth.
Rosey future......just friggin' rosey.
DO NOT blindly accept what has been spoken. DO NOT blindly accept what has been written. Think. Assess. Lead. DO NOT blindly follow.

And yet, the righties were NEVER satisfied with the jobs numbers under Obama. They would always complain about how the job growth was too slow.

But somehow, this year's slightly worse numbers are evidence that Donald is doing a great job.

Makes no sense. Pure hypocrisy from the righties, as usual.

...Give away your freedoms if you like. Give away your money if you like. Quit forcing the rest of us to all because of fake science.

I think this is the most damaging thing trump has done (in general)... Spewing lies about real science to make his following not believe in scientifically proven sh*t like global warming. The funny thing about science is, there's one right answer, and there's no debating it... Just flat out lying and denying.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

I figured this would happen. She didn't do anything illegal (not an excuse), and got fired for it (rightfully so in my opinion). But that's why we have civil courts.

It's all a big PR stunt for her at this point, so she'll benefit no matter what.



In my view, this is a case of punishment does not fit the “crime.”

Kathy Griffin is not a news reporter/commentator/analysis/political talking head. And her New Year Eve gig with CNN is that as comedian to add humor to the coverage. She is a comedian.

Society thrives on the innovations and creative ideas from individuals, and we all strive to be creative, innovative, or to be the best. (We all want to invent a better mouse trap and create better table games, don’t we?). I think she was trying to be creative, and develop a storyline around a character of a very controversial & divisive politician that happens to be a racist, rapist, sexist and scam artist Trump. After realizing that her creative idea or “aha” moment that went too far, she admitted it was a mistake and then IMMEDIATELY offered a sincere and profuse apology. (Try to ask Trump to admit mistakes and apologize …).

If Kathy Griffin were a news reporter, CNN’s firing her would be appropriate because her ability to provide fair news/political covfefe would then be questioned. However, when considering the facts that she is a comedian, her gig with CNN as a colorful, comedic and non-political commentator, and her immediate offer of a sincere and profuse apology, firing her is a too harsh punishment and is inappropriate, and in my view it is a punishment that does not fit the “crime”. I don’t know the detail of her employment contract with CNN, but she definitely deserves a day in Court to defend her right (and our right too) to be CREATIVE.

Show of hands.
Who is tired of all this winning ?
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.
