Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Well let's at least start with, "OK - we can't kill them, and we can't defeat terrorism. So what are we going to do about it, and how does their inevitable existence shape the world and our foreign policy?"

According to this, Minnesota ranks No. 1 in Gallup's job creation index.

Minnesota the Top State on the Job Creation Index

 

He's auditioning to be Trump's next spokesman.

 

You're proud of all the left's lies?

 

The best part about this election is the newfound respect people have for folks like the Kochs. All of a sudden, they're great and have tons of integrity.

George W. Bush has been praised for how he dealt with Cindy Sheehan.

Republican consultant, who @JayFarrar had never heard of previously, are held up as paragons of virtue.

I hope this continues into Hillary's presidency, and all the criticism she receives is viewed as legitimate.

 

The Unnatural: How Mark Dayton Bested Scott Walker—and Became the Most Successful Governor in the Country | Mother Jones


Over the past several years, Minnesota has become a testing ground for a litany of policies Democrats hope to enact nationally: legalizing same-sex marriage, making it easier to vote, boosting primary education spending, instituting all-day kindergarten, expanding unionization, freezing college tuition, increasing the minimum wage, and passing new laws requiring equal pay for women. To pay for it all, Dayton pushed a sharp increase on taxes for the top 2 percent—one of the largest hikes in state history. Republicans went berserk, warning that businesses would flee the state and take jobs with them.

Minnesota added 172,000 jobs during Dayton's first four years in office. Its 3.6 percent unemployment rate is among the lowest in the country.
The disaster Dayton's GOP rivals predicted never happened. Two years after the tax hike, Minnesota's economy is booming. The state added 172,000 jobs during Dayton's first four years in office. Its 3.6 percent unemployment rate is among the lowest in the country (Wisconsin's is 5.2 percent), and the Twin Cities have the lowest unemployment rate of any major metropolitan area. Under Dayton, Minnesota has consistently been in the top tier of states for GDP growth. Median incomes are $8,000 higher than the national average. In 2014, Minnesota led the nation in economic confidence, according to Gallup.

Minnesota has even pulled ahead of Walker's Wisconsin, leapfrogging its neighbor to the east on measure after measure. "In a whole number of ways, we're very, very similar," Bakk, the DFL Senate leader, says of the two states. "But politically, we have taken just totally different paths in the road."

 

This is potentially the scariest post I've seen on here in a long time. But it is one of the more honest. I wish more liberals would admit that they have no interest in combating terrorism.

Yes you do.

 

All those dark green areas (North and South Dakota and the border areas of Western Minnesota? Huge growth (above 14%). The grey areas around the Twin Cities? Huge losses (more than 7%). Looks like the problem interpreting is your problem.

 

Oh good lord.

Terrorism is a tactic. How do you defeat a tactic? What does the peace treaty look like? Do we someday kill terrorist No. X, and everyone from then on agrees not to resort to terrorism ever again?

Individual terrorists and extremists can be tracked and targeted. "War on Terror" is as stupid as "War on Drugs."

And none of that means somehow I have no interest in preventing attacks against our country. But it's probably no coincidence that a) I had to actually type that out to explain it to you and b) you'll vote for Trump in November.
