Fu*%face Von Clownstick

Lots of other countries loan the US money... default on China, and they instantly know just how much they can count on repayment of their own loans. That's generally not a good idea for an individual or an entire nation. It also affects the interest rates and terms of the loans that we do get, so a downgrade in our sovereign credit rating is an expensive thing to let happen.

China has been the fastest growing economy in the world for years, now... faster than both Japan and Germany after WW2... they produce more of the goods sold here than are made here... and nearly all US manufacturers either produce some of their products in China, or buy materials from them. If they choose to be dicks about it all, they can do a lot more damage to the price of goods here than we can do to their profit margins. They're going through a lot of growing pains, but they are very much aware of how their position is changing in the world, and treating them like a "shithole" nation isn't going to improve anything here.

Fair enough. But seriously... since when do dems/libs give 1/1000th of a shit about deficits? Or debt? Just kidding. It's since November of 2016.

Tax and spend, spend, spend. Were you as concerned about Obama's recklessness with deficits? Kinda doubt it. Federal deficit for FY 2015 was 438.9 billion. Total debt, counting money the government owes to itself, was nearly $18.9 trillion, up nearly 78 percent under Obama. Literally incomprehensible numbers.

I'm afraid we're past the point where these numbers mean anything anyway. One simply cannot get elected these days by having as an adult and telling hard truths about debt and spending. Uneducated sheep will always vote for the candidate who promises them more free stuff paid for by someone else. Trump is no exception.

Your Obama Whataboutism just never gets old Buck.

Lets remember the economic shit sandwich that Obama was handed, compared to the longest sustained job growth in our history, and the 6 years of straight, solid economic growth that DJT inherited.
One man had to literally keep the economic sky from falling, save the banks, and bail out the auto industry.
The other had to give big corporations and the richest 1% the largest tax cuts in our counties history.

Jobs created in first 21 months of Trump presidency- 4,054,000
Jobs created in last 21months of Obama presidency- 4,477,000
Just more actual proof that Obama's economic recovery continues to this days.

No way, they started equal, didn't they? Donald Trump is a self-made multi-millionaire. And the pigs are fed, and ready for take-off.

I guess I’m just old fashioned, but a man who receives over $400 million from his father is definitely Not self-made in my book. The lie that is Donald J Trump continues.

A compelling argument could be made that any coverage that does not savage Trump IS balance.

Hannity is a talk show host with known opinions, not a journalist. Same as Maddow and O’Donnell.

The bottom line is that Fox News (Trump TV) is now officially a state run propaganda machine. Just what any budding wannabe dictator like Donny needs.

Just read his idiotic comments against France on Twitter. What a moron. Seems to know absolutely nothing about history. He is making the US look like a laughing stock to the rest of the World. One can only hope that anyone with any sense realizes that not all Americans are like that. He is the worst sort of nouveau riche, basically white trash with money. And to me, even worse, is the painfully obvious fact that he is not a gentleman. He clearly has no regard for women except as objects to possess or use. It beggars belief that any woman would vote for him or tolerate her husband doing so.
 
Meh. I struggle to come up with a single objectionable thing Ivanka has said or done during her father’s time in office to warrant such trivial ridicule. Other than simply having her dad’s surname.

I met her once at “Seven”, Lance Armstrong’s bar in Austin when I was down there for the OSU/Texas game in 2006. Intelligent, poised, articulate, polite. (Not hard on the eyes either). She also demonstrated remarkable judgement by somehow resisting my charms and staying with her billionaire future husband.

Anyway, that “handbag designer” also graduated with a degree in economics from Wharton, cum laude. A simpleton she ain’t.

Merkel looks like a sad, sun-dried catcher’s mitt with a straw wig. That look on her face is disgust born of jealousy.
 
Yeah, well, maybe she's a snake oil salesman (woman..?) but she's still a smokeshow and Merkel still looks like Stalin's great-grandmother who's eaten nothing but gravel for the last decade.

So yeah....
