    Pisses me off that the job numbers are so good and the market is soooo mediocre.  No comparison to brother Obama's terms.
    Damn fine trend line in the US unemployment rate during Obama's tenure:


    Thanks Obama!

    Speaking of jobs numbers, this was kinda interesting, if not surprising:

    Saw that earlier. It is a bit of an odd rule, only applies to the Executive branch. Nonetheless, it is a rule, and should be followed.

    To be honest, i didn't read but only a couple posts on this thread, my take is that its a 'bash Trump' posting.

    I don't involve myself with 'group think'. Mr Trump is MY President and he has my unwavering support ... I cannot be swayed.

    FYI, I offer the same unwavering support with anyone who i am friends with in my life. 
    Why in the world would you offer unwavering support to any elected official? I view all elected officials with skepticism, most of them deserve it.
    He's just not an elected official. He's a once in a lifetime President, the likes of what we'll possibly ever see again. Now i know ill probably get some sort of smartas* response to what I just wrote, but i can honest close my eyes and see exactly what kind of hell-hole world we would be living if Hillary would have won. It would have just been more of the same old nonsense we've been seeing for the last 50 years.

    Trump is what America needed to finally get serious about our future. This is as low as we can go. America will be great again, because of Trump, the people will ditch his asz, next election.

    I have my doubts. With our current two party system, he will be be put up again on the (R) ticket (barring impeachment). I don't see any form of potential leadership on the (D) side of things. Sad state of affairs...

    Dwayne F'd up and walking to Sheetz.  Check.

    Heavy G-money, probably doesn't drink, but no one knows, still can troll like a gangsta from, like, Brentwood.

    And other stuff. 

    Man, I'm bored.

    If I thought that my pix of a pork butt or chicken wings that I’ve cooked would add something of value to the approximately 2.3 gazillion pork butt/chicken wing photos already available on the World Wide Web I might actually post one.

    Naaaahh…that’s a lie, I probably still wouldn't.

    I’m kinda like that dog on the old Dlck Van Dyke show that hadn’t eaten anything in 6 years. I’m a Breatharian thus I don’t cook/eat. All I consume is the pranic light.

    Folks, I'm taking a 17 hour vacation.  (probably not as I promised my fishing buddy I'd help rewire his boat at 9AM.)

    I hate/love life.

    Notice the DJIA trend line over the past decade? What does that tell you?

    Thanks Obama!!


    Government spending fiscal policy at its finest.  It was terrible before him and then went into over drive. 


    Same story here. What you need to look at are the numbers pre 2008 in terms of Govt income and expenditure. What you find in the UK is that as Govt income increased, Govt spending increased based on the premis that the income would always be there. Since said income (in UK at least, probably in US too) was based on a debt fuelled bubble based on rampant property price inflation, the income was bound to crash at some point, leaving only the expenditure ..........

    Funny, in UK we had a Left of centre Govt and in US Right, yet they still made the same stupid mistake aided by central banks who ignored the problem to keep the politicians happy. Everyone loves a bubble until it's over.

    Trump is nothing new. Promising everyone everything and then being unable to deliver is an age old populist political story.

    I wonder if Trump's Mother in Law will tag along on the taxpayer's dime for the vacation.    Oh, no, that was the last guy.

    I don't totally fault the people that put him there, although I can't say he surprises me one bit, I saw him coming. I didn't help him get in.
    I fault the people that still back him.
