@aadam101: You are always deflecting from the real issue.  I'm starting to think you are Kellyanne Conway. Quite the opposite.. you are the one posting fake news, lies, distortions, and bullshit. I am the one correcting you and getting to the REAL issues. Your welcome!

But that's where you are wrong.  They aren't working under the table.  They work with "legally" with stolen identities.  On paper, 11 million legal workers will disappear. Perhaps all of the H2B Visa workers that Trump is importing to work at his clubs will offset that. Btw, remember when he used to say "America First".  I guess he didn't mean it…..

@aadam101: We had years of Reagan and a recession at the end of his term.  It cost Bush a second term.  Then Clinton came along and made the economy great again. Bush Jr. sunk it and we went into the biggest recession in history.  Obama brought it back to the point we are at right now.  Economists consider this to be almost full employment. (Considering the fact that we were at 50% unemployment just a year ago this is  quite remarkable) In all seriousness, this is not a good place for Trump to be in.  How do you deport immigrants when we are at full employment and still grow the economy?  He is a genius if he figures it out. What you just said is pure crap.  We just got done last week showing that Obama had zero positive accomplisments during his 8 year regime,  and put the economy of the USA into the toilet.  For the first time in history, the USA lost it's AAA rating in the world. I know you would like nothing better than to see the USA fail.  Don't worry, you will get your wish.  The best Trump can do is delay it a decade or two.

Another triggered snowflake. Manufacturing started it's decline in the 80's and we have lost manufacturing jobs every year since.  These are jobs that were largely held by white men without a lot of education.  Now these jobs don't exist for the generation of white men that was born in the 80's.  Now these men can't get jobs and instead are dying left and right from heroin overdoses. These are facts.  Not opinions.  Trump agrees.

Wow, purported "gay" user slams the gender of a self-identified Black woman. There goes a chance for solidarity amongst minoritarian subjects.

Everything has consequences… for instance.. with Herr Mueller and his storm troopers working on trying to find something - anything to attack Trump with, that makes it difficult if not impossible for Mueller's boyfriend James Cummy to make any significant statements in his book.  By the way, it should be illegal for any public official to write any book for at least 5 years after leaving office - if ever. By the way.. Mark Fuckaburger of Facebook is also hiring Hillary's top campaign people.  There is no way that jerk would ever become president because so many people hate Facebook and it's gestapo policies.

Would you feel this way if Trump announced he was switching back to being a Dem?

@flozen: Washington DC was, indeed, built on reclaimed swamp, but it does have the distinction of a city street plan created by the renowned Pierre L'Enfant, and the National Mall in particular, benefits from his vision: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Enfant_Plan Trump certainly appreciates the Mall – so much so, that he imagined it full of a record-setting crowd for his Inauguration! http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/20/politics/donald-trump-barack-obama-inauguration-crowd-size/index.html The real shame here is that we have a President who is such an unqualified vulgarian, that he would call our country's most revered residence a "dump." Anyone with discernment who has seen a garish, gold-plated, Trump-designed business property – and I passed the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street for many years getting to work at 72 -- knows the brutal, self-absorbed excess that he considers good taste. Gold is part of how Trump branded his multi-billion dollar empire.  I guess gold offends you.  You must be racist  The favorite colors of black people are gold and black.  Shame on you, RACIST!

@royalcrown89: @aadam101: It really is a shame that our President LIED about locking her up.  She deserves it. Yes, our president said many times he'd lock her up. He's such a coward and a blatant liar. They are finally starting to investigate Hillary.  Trump was going to drop it, because he's a nice guy, but due to incessant attacks, it has become necessary to start an investigation.  (or should we call it a "matter"?)

@aadam101: All of your views on healthcare lead me to believe you really want single payer. I agree, it does seem like they want a single payer system.

@aadam101: You have to admit.  This is pretty creepy. There are some incredible connections to be made to the first family of the United States and Lockwood’s novels from the turn of the 19th century. For starters, the main character’s name is the same as President Donald Trump’s son, albeit spelt differently. Trump’s adventures begin in Russia, and are guided thanks to directions provided by "the master of all masters," a man named "Don."….... ......But by Lockwood’s third novel, The Last President, things become even more eerily linked to the present day. The story begins with a scene from a panicked New York City in early November, describing a "state of uproar" after the election of an enormously opposed outsider candidate. "The entire East Side is in a state of uproar," police officers shouted through the streets, warning city folk to stay indoors for the night. "Mobs of vast size are organizing under the lead of anarchists and socialists, and threaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who have wronged and oppressed them for so many years." "The Fifth Avenue Hotel will be the first to feel the fury of the mob," the novel continues, citing an address in New York City where Trump Tower now stands. "Would the troops be in time to save it?" http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-predicted-ingersoll-lockwood-adventures-barron-melania-last-644284 It looks like Trump may have been inspired by those books, and perhaps picked his boy's name from it. I wouldn't make too much of it though.  For instance.. people in NYC are hardly oppressed. It is interesting, and that third book is only 68 pages long.  Too boring for me to read though.  Not once in that book do they use the word "cock" or "twink".  There are also some Nostradamus passages that indicate that Trump would defeat Hillary.

You can thank Thurston Howell III (i.e. John Kerry) for driving up the cost of healthcare in MA.  One of his last acts as Senator was to STEAL $300 million from the rest of the country by classifying a tiny 19 bed hospital on Nantucket as a "rural hospital."  This stripped away Medicare funding to all of the other rural hospitals in the country and gave it to the super rich hospitals like Mass General.  It's more complicated than I can explain.  Google "The Nantucket Effect".  Our healthcare system is completely crazy when a tiny little 19 bed hospital located on an island for the super rich can have that much of an impact on the entire healthcare system.  The name of the hospital is "Nantucket Cottage Hospital" because  it's literally located inside of a cottage. Now to be fair these four states do a sizable amount of medical research for the entire world.  These things cost money.  People come from all over the world to go to Mass General, Brigham and Women's and Boston Children's Hospital.

Hillary will never be prosecuted. It's time for you to get over it. Trump told us he isn't going to investigate her. He LIED to you.

@ryn: The faster we get to a sense of normality where politics is about substantive policy debates and economics, the better.  Sadly it seems the only chance to escape this ridiculous political theater is in 2018/2020. Oh.. I don't think it will take that long.  I would give 50/50 odds that Obamacare will be replaced this month… I would also say that a massive tax cut will pass in November. The election was like a lightning strike right to Hillary's petrified vagina.  The democrats have been running around like a load of chickens with their heads cut off since then.  Instead of accepting the results of the election, and moving on, they have doubled down and refused to  accept the results of the election - and are making fools of themselves.

@Frederick: @aadam101: Trump has done nothing to help the economy.  The only REAL job announcements that have been made are from Walmart and Amazon (warehouses).  These are very expensive jobs for taxpayers.  Walmart employees alone use $6 billion in public assistance every year.  Bezos and the Waltons are just a bunch of welfare queens. I tend to not be as tough on Bezos because Amazon also has a lot of good paying jobs in other areas of the company. Trump has made a lot of fake job announcements. He announced that he saved Carrier and then they layed off 600  workers.  Then he announced he saved Boeing and they layed off 200 workers.  Then Microsoft layed off 2000 workers.  Then Macys…..and JCPenney.....and Kmart.......and Sears.......and many other retailers. FoxConn is just a big lie.  They have made these announcements before.  Here is one from 2013.  It never happened.  It was never built. http://money.cnn.com/2013/11/22/technology/foxconn-plant/index.html The economy is booming since the election, but you never hear the media talking about it.   And.. one of my predictions has already come true…   Reince Prieubus is GONE.   Look for Sessions to go next. Let's see about your other predictions..

@mhorndisk: I am a Trump supporter, but I'm not ok with him banning trans. Dammit. I guess that he also used to have some trans supporters.. ;D

The more I think about this the more I believe that this is all staged by the GOP.  We all know that ObamaCare is the Republican plan. It was written by conservatives, it includes a ton of market based conservative ideas and it was implemented by a very conservative Governor. They backed themselves into a corner 7 years ago when they started to rallied against their own plan. So how on earth can keep their plan in place while still pretending to be against it? They asked a dying Senator to put on this show and give a thumbs up and later a thumbs down.  Now Republican voters have a scapegoat to blame and the Republicans get what they want while getting their voters to let them off the hook.  McCain won't get another term anyway.  It's the perfect plan.

@Frederick: @aadam101: The Dow rose from 6500 to a record 19500 under Obama. Also according to Breitbart, Obama lowered food stamp usage dramatically.  By the end of his administration it was at a 7 year low. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/07/20/food-stamp-use-falls-lowest-level-seven-years/ You consistently misrepresent the articles you refer to.  You seem to forget that Sheik Obama was occupying the White House for EIGHT years..  and during his regime, Food Stamp Enrollment hit a record high peak of 47.6 million people  (it was 28 million when Bush left office).  Also, the amount of $$$ per recipient has dropped considerably… which is horrible.  So, the people who do need benefits are getting LESS.  I know of people who used to get $200 a month that Obama cut to $15 a month.    http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/02/19-million-more-americans-on-food-stamps-despite-low-unemployment-rate/ You've also lied about the DOW.  The DOW has gone from 18,500 on election day - when Trump was elected.. to a record 21,891.. an increase of 3,391 just since Trumps election.. and a staggering 18% increase in just the 9 months since Trump's election! You should look at the chart in the link in the article that I posted where it clearly shows the number of people on food stamps going down under Obama.
