If the MeToo crowd had their way, they'd be wearing burkas.

the same W Bush that got us into a war in Iraq for no valid reason that killed and wounded many Americans and Iraqi civilians. The same A-hole that wanted to put Harriet Miers in the S.C..the same genius that gave the DEEP State unlimited powers with the Patriot Act.

The same President who was for open borders, amnesty and more of the same trade deals that have screwed the middle class of this country?

W Bush made 8 years of Oba possible by his failures in foreign and domestic policies but Trump is the crazy one?.....lol


Bush is the reason Trump got elected and I'm glad he won. We couldn't afford another Bush or Hillary in the W.H.

Meh, Certain people flock to certain threads. Make an outlandish or exaggerated claim in a title and the apologists come running. I stay off main stream TV stations and cable news. I have quite a few articles in my feed on the web. I understand that many are in fact "opinion" with or without a label. I take what I read with grain of salt. Beware of words like probably, "could lead to", possibly, not yet confirmed (is a favorite). I prefer facts when I can get them. This forum thrives as an outlet for opinion. The verbal jousting is entertaining at times. Careful with your words as they will come up again at a later date, a point you need to make will not have any weight.

If Trump has done anything he has inflamed the establishment. I love to see the old guard frustrated and flabbergasted. Time for some new faces that do not have to rely on cronyism to feel confident in their position.

This forum definitely leans right. Look at the thread titles. I miss the days when one could have a real discussion here, without the name-calling.

Most have switched to Trump Lovers What's that hash tag "LOVE TRUMP, DON'T HATE"

Well GW did have the support of just about everyone except Obama and the crazy old man, so Obama had to destroy Libya and Syria just to catch up to GW

Right away obstruction was dropped...propaganda media had their new topic!
The Dow's record High before the Obama administration was 14,164

So from March 5th, 2013(the day they beat the previous record) to November 8, 2016 , The Dow Jones had 122 record days.

I dont remember the News ever making a giant fuss about it. Why should they do it for Pres. Trump ?

There was no "Republican depression" in the 1980s.
There was a recession from July, 1981 to Nov., 1982. There was no "1980-1992" recession. Where did you get that from? On the contrary, the economy was doing very well in the mid-'80s to 1990. Strong GDP growth and low inflation and unemployment.

The one that followed in the 21st century was worse, though. Probably because the Republicans are getting worse at electing stupid Presidents. It makes me wonder how low the Trump depression will fall to, after so many years of rising prosperity.
What Trump depression?

Is this "make wildly inaccurate posts day?"

The Dow is down 8.5% from its peak.

December 8th, 2017 was the last time it was this low...OH THE HORROR !!!

Nevermind that it's still up 21.4% from one year ago.

It took the Obama Dow 3 years, 6 months and 10 days to grow 21.4% (4-26-2013 to 11-6-2016).

Default This forum has turned into MSNBC

Hapless people who had been waiting around for a day like this, just couldn't resist jumping on the board and pleasuring themselves. Scanning other threads, they aren't much better. One is beating himself over the head because Trump met some cheerleaders or was clapping for himself. This is passing as controversy.
Actually I think both Democrats/Liberals and Republicans/Conservatives are well represented here on this forum. However, I will say that the Trump bashing has gotten to the point of being ridiculous and probably becoming counterproductive.

Btw the way you can complain about MSNBC and the way it treats Trump but I seem to remember the way that FOX treated Obama or Clinton. Not a pretty picture either.

I no longer watch CNN so I do not care what they think.
