The Inevitable New The Inevitable Trump Mocking Thread

[Hüsker Dü]

As it has moved farther and farther right, the Republican Party has grown increasingly anti-intellectual. Trump’s base adores him, not despite his obvious mental limitations, but because of them.

Two caveats are in order. First, many intelligent people have conservative values, and rationally support the Republican Party. Second, while Trump’s lack of mental aptitude may be similar to that of previous Republican leaders in kind, it is very different in degree. That said, Trump’s flamboyant ignorance and disdain for intellectual standards are very much in keeping with modern conservative politics.

Everyone laughs at you pal, even those that act like your friends.

I'm glad YOU get a chuckle.....

The " everyone " equals three or four Liberals.

Just to inform you of something " Glorified Laborer " there are no
so called friends on Forums. It would be posters who agree with the TRUTH.

How's that Disneyland job workin out for ya.....or is the term " Blackballed " the descriptor.

Gato......why do you continuously display your Jealousy and Envy for DJT....

He is a businessman who has made Great financial decisions and Poor financial decisions.
He is a human being who has made Great personal decisions and Poor personal decisions.
He is NOW the POTUS of this Great Country and he's going to make some bold decisions
that will either be very successful or huge failures. He gets my vote 100 % because he is taking
very big risks to make OUR Country better than the Shithole it was fast becoming !!

You on the other hand are clearly NOT the risk taking type, you picked an avenue in life and
that was YOUR route. You've never deviated from the narrow path in your life, both personally
financially. Now that could be viewed as a huge plus which you should embrace. But you are
clearly the type of individual who is NOT a risk taker, if you were your commentary would be
posed quite differently.

Once you stop being the sideline parent who drives coaches mad you will see the positives that
will Make America Great Again.

Grow up Gato......

Curious news today - it appears that strategists for both parties will be using possible impeachment as reasons to vote for their guys.

The News was in regards to Rod Rosenstien....Republicans who KNOW what he is doing
by hiding the TRUTH are contemplating the move.....

Fuck SPOLA, do you EVER tell the TRUTH .......

I see you don't get the point . . . and that, was the point. Thank you for stepping up to prove it's so, once again.

Ivanka tweeted -- We need to promote healthy lifestyles for America’s youth. In a recent survey, 9.5 million U.S. children reported that they did NOT once participate in any of over 100 sports or activities listed.

Retired General Mark Hertling responded -- there’s this thing called the President’s Council on Fitness, Sport, and Nutrition. Been around 60 years. Used to have 25 appointees...I was one of them. @MichelleObama helped & generated momentum in this area. No one is on the Council now. @FitnessGov. Check it out.

Government needs fitness too.
I think it sends the right message to cut the fat.

But the passing of a spending bill is not what caused the 5 or 6 serious down days this past month or so. It was threat of trade war. Any other equivocating is just argumenative onanism.

Causation is hard to prove. Magnitudes of one cause compared to another is even harder to prove in the bigger scheme of things. Lumping tariffs on top of a spending bill gives the appearance that trade policy was the driving cause of 5 0r 6 days of trading. You people are famous for your sound bite assessments of causation in economic policy. That's how QE and ACA happened. You can claim it's a different debate but that would be equivocal. When I read your post that you would "have done a combo, myself, and forced a bit of "moral hazard" on a few of the big banks/insurers/overly leveraged companies as a well as a pre-requist of helicopter money, but nobody asked me", nobody asked you because that's what they actually did. Ignoring that 5 years of QE can have any effect on market corrections is not surprising for you, Son of Judah.

President Donald Trump explained his frustration on the trade disparity between the United States and China by highlighting the unfair tariffs on automobile sales.
Trump highlighted the 2.5 percent tariff for cars coming to the United States from China while there was a 25 percent tariff for cars heading to China from the United States.


“Does that sound like free or fair trade?” Trump asked. “No, it sounds like STUPID TRADE – going on for years!”

Trump continues pressing China with tariffs in response to intellectual property theft and a massive multi-billion dollar trade deficit. On Sunday, he appeared optimistic that a deal with China could be made.

The only way to get China to ease up on their ridiculous tariffs is to play the game.

I didn't realize that the, "Again" part, meant back to the 1880's.

"Moral hazard" was minimal at most, temporary and did little to change landscape.

Causation of single day market moves are not hard to prove. You can line the info publication up with the moves in, you know, real time.

The idea that 5 years of QE "suddenly" tanks a market 15 minutes after China announces retalitory tariffs list is just stupid, end stop. You can dance on the head of all the pins you want, but it doesn't make that claim fit for anyone but a pin-head.

But here, how's about looking at some, you know, data...
