Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

The only thing worse than being trolled is embracing the trolling willingly. That guy made that sign to get under some Trump supporter's skin. To repost it out of faux outrage is not going to pull any weight here, YF. Your schtick is too familiar. I could post the picture of the Bernies waving a Mexican flag and the Trumps waving a Confederate flag back at them but it's not worth the effort to dig it out.

 

I am sure if these "victims" were respectful toward the protesters and didn't try to run, the crowd would not have needed to use reasonable force to apprehend them.

 

Weird.

So you're saying the workforce participation rate has been falling since 1999? We know you blame the last eight years on Obama. .... who do you blame for the previous nine years of decline?

And moreso, for the thirty years before Reagan, it hovered right around 60 percent - lower than it is today. Who do you blame for that?

 

Solid post.

 

Email the question to Rush. I'm sure he'll let you know what to think.

 

Voxxer justifies violence against Trump supporters:

 

"Why won't these jerkyfaces be tolerant of us spreading hate and ignorance?"

 

Based on that chart, it seems the workforce participation rate jumped most sharply under . . . Carter.

Whodathunkit?

 

Workforce participation rate probably has more to do with demographics than it does the President sitting in his office pulling the right levels on his magical economy machine. But why would we acknowledge that when we can dumb down the discourse just a bit more?

 

The Seven Broken Guardrails of Democracy

"Here’s the part of the 2016 story that will be hardest to explain after it’s all over: Trump did not deceive anyone. Unlike, say, Sarah Palin in 2008, Trump appeared before the electorate in his own clothes, speaking his own words. When he issued a promise, he instantly contradicted it. If you chose to accept the promise anyway, you did so with abundant notice of its worthlessness. For all the times Trump said believe me and trust me in his salesman patter, he communicated constantly and in every medium that there was only thing you could believe and trust: If you voted for Donald Trump, you’d get Donald Trump, in all his Trumpery and Trumpiness.

The television networks that promoted Trump; the primary voters who elevated him; the politicians who eventually surrendered to him; the intellectuals who argued for him, and the donors who, however grudgingly, wrote checks to him—all of them knew, by the time they made their decisions, that Trump lied all the time, about everything. They knew that Trump was ignorant, and coarse, and boastful, and cruel. They knew he habitually sympathized with dictators and kleptocrats—and that his instinct when confronted with criticism of himself was to attack, vilify, and suppress. They knew his disrespect for women, the disabled, and ethnic and religious minorities. They knew that he wished to unravel NATO and other U.S.-led alliances, and that he speculated aloud about partial default on American financial obligations. None of that dissuaded or deterred them." ~ David Frum
