Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

This is why I can never take the left (including Trump) seriously. They have to make up bald-faced lies.

 

Damn, I've lost old_tony. Will be hard to come back from that one.

 

tony is only interested in the truth. Duh.

 

Every fucking word that Trump utters is a complete fucking lie. His health care plan is to give billionaires a free ride and everybody else gets fucked.

 

This is such horseshit. What the fuck is wrong with her?

 

Feel the Bern:

 

I'm sure it's accurate. Wasn't there one a couple weeks ago that had her two points ahead, followed by 10 others that showed her maintaining her double-digit lead.

 

Wasn't Britney famously a W. celebrity supporter?

 

I'm astonished you chose to post the one Sanders-friendly poll out of the many published in the last few days. Not the other national polls showing Clinton ahead comfortably, not the +6 in Nevada, not the four or five showing 20-point wins in SC, not the +24 in Michigan. Just that one.

 

When liberal economists start droppin' bodies in a rap feud.

The Fight Between Bernie Sanders And Hillary Clinton Is Officially Super Ugly

Earlier this week, four economists -- Alan Krueger, Christina Romer, Austan Goolsbee and Laura D’Andrea Tyson -- wrote an open letter accusing Friedman of making "extreme claims" in that study that "undermine the credibility of the progressive economic agenda." Krugman then published multiple blog posts citing the letter as evidence that the Sanders campaign was engaging in "fantasy" and "voodoo."

The problem with these condemnations, according to former JEC Executive Director James Galbraith, is that none of the economists involved in the fracas actually crunched any numbers to show why Friedman's study was supposedly such a sham. Galbraith now teaches economics at the University of Texas at Austin.

 

If they were going to write such a letter, they did need to have a better reason than "because we say so" even if it was clear to each of them that Friedman's analysis was flawed.

Then again, nerdy economist infighting is nothing new.
