Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Nice cherry picking.

The economy was in turmoil and it took time for the investment to pay off.

Unemployment peaked at 10% in 2010 as companies and local governments shed jobs in panic, then had 7 years of consecutive month-over-month job growth.

You have to be uncontrollably biased to think that Obama's economic policies failed under the light of hard data.

I'm not cherry picking. I'm calling them out on their failed predictions. This has nothing to do with bias. They made predictions and they were very wrong.

If they were so incompetent that they couldn't see the "turmoil" then they should not have been elected.

Growth under Obama was historically low. It was depressed by his anti-business bullying, wasteful spending, and cronyism. I predicted that would be the case when he was elected. I was right. Where do I go to collect my Nobel prizes for Economics and Political Science?

Very little of the money went to infrastructure improvements, and said projects were probably never completed anyway.

All talk no action.

This is complete BS. Every day I drive on roads that were built with stimulus money. Also, I used to run with a guy who worked on solar projects funded by stimulus money. Without it, he would not have had a job. And that's just my own personal experience in one tiny corner of the nation.

Those projects did get completed. You can look it up. Every project was carefully tracked and results were made public.

post them all. dying to see all of the nothing projects that got completed. you can look it up.

made public? like the town hall meetings? republicans to the back of the bus? your bias is overwhelming you, isn't it?

I'm not sure why you would refer to this is a sexual thing. Also, I'm a woman.

I was simply remarking at how greatly impressed I am with Flagpole's erudite and intelligent responses. He is eviscerating all of you Trump-trash Republicans who post here. In other words, he is completely dominating you. If the New England Patriots beat the LA Rams 33-10, the Pats dominated the Rams. Another example is how Mo Farah dominates the distance events at the Olympic Games, however it would behoove you to know that this is not sexual in nature.

Leave it to an intellectually and emotionally stunted Republican to inject their perverted slant into a factual analysis.

Hi Flagpole's Boyfriend

You must be unaware of Flagpole's record of failure. He has set the standard for being wrong on the internet. He crashed so badly after Trump won that he went into hiding for many months in the hope that we would all forget. Even among Democrat liberals, who are wrong ALL the time, Flagpole stands out as a glittering jewel of epic wrongness blazing with arrogance, ignorance, and sneering condescension. His own intelligence and eloquence only served to make it possible for him to do MORE damage to himself. A lesser man could not have destroyed himself so thoroughly.

If there were a Nobel prize for being wrong, Flagpole would own it.

I respond to him out of pity. I worry about the guy.

Why did the stimulus take so many years to work? That's not what a stimulus package is supposed to do.

Why didn't TARP under Bush succeed in immediately fixing the economy?

Same reason, because big problems aren't solved easily overnight.

Hello Hillary lovers. Still butt hurt?

The economy is booming due to the Trump presidency.

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!

How’s that Russian collusion working out for you?

Mueller? Mueller? Mueller?

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!

TARP was not a stimulus bill to fix the economy. It was meant to prevent the financial system from collapsing and it did so.

This doesn't match the result of the Electoral College election on December 19, 2016. Care to explain?

It also doesn't match the results of 2nd grade math where 306 - 232 = 74

TARP included giving several millions to some major financial institutions that didn't need the money.

This was to give the optics of not simply bailing out the failing banks, but to cover the banking industry as a whole.

This certainly was to fix the economy.

Whether you call it a stimulus or a bailout the intention was to help with the overall economy.

TARP allocated $700 billion to purchase or insure troubled assets.

The intention was to stabilize the markets and preventing a run on the bank and massive stock selling.

Stocks still dropped dramatically but it would have been way worse.

Not all of that money was handed over. It was more like a credit line from the government.

The 2009 stimulus was of similar value and, yes, a different purpose.

It was more cash to the people in the form of tax credits and spending.

And all of it wasn't handed over either.

A lot was allocated to infrastructure but not all of that allocation was spent.

So the two people arguing are both a bit right. Yes there was some work done but no all of the money meant to be spent on infrastructure was not spent. Once it got into the budget, they had trouble agreeing on exactly what to do with it.

It's like a couple getting a $20K offer for home renovation and the husband wants to finish the basement for a man cave and the wife wants a sun room added. If they don't agree, nothing gets done.

And that leads us to healthcare. No can agree on what to do, so nothing gets done.

Try again, buttercup.

Let's take away how much California contributes the national economy then. You might not like the results.

For some reason, some here think I ran and hid following the election, and nothing is further from the truth.

When it was clear Trump would win, I posted:

"Looks like Trump is going to win. So I guess he had 100% chance of winning and I had that wrong. I am shocked and of course disappointed and have a feeling of doom for our nation, but that can be part of another thread. In this thread, it's all about Trump's big night. Congrats to the victor (not official yet, but would be small miracle at this point for Hillary to win).

I will have to flex with my shirt off in front of a mirror to make myself feel better."

And, if me being gone and hiding for months means me posting the very day after the election this when someone suggested I was trolling:

"Nope. I was not trolling. I was simply wrong."

I will admit that I was having some fun with the ZERO chance comments and laughing greatly to myself when people would say I didn't understand probability (my business consulting that I do for my clients deals greatly with probability), but I honestly did not think Trump would win. Meh.

But today, the truth is clear...

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

On your first sentence: a) wrong and b) wrong. The rest: You're an illiterate buffoon.

Flagpole, which is you, are only obsessed with yourself. If you call his responses erudite and intelligent, that's a dead giveaway that you are him.

You have only lied numerous times Flagpole and you've been dominated by the Right and called out so much for you Obama/Hillary level of lying, that you have to come in and out of hiding and use different handles.

The Right has proven you wrong over and over as you post links that are fake news but ignore the truth. Donald Trump won the election fair and square, but Hillary CHEATED BIG TIME and still lost, that's funny.

Yeah, that's BS. Certainly could have another person other than me clearly see how bad Trump is.

WEJO, DO AN IP CHECK, AND IF I AM THE SAME POSTER AS NOTICER OF DOMINANCE, BAN ME FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, Trump now is trying to prevent Michael Wolff's book from being published. Some BIG problems with this whole thing.

1) Why the hell did the White House give Michael Wolff the access that they did? Did they not check into this guy? How would they think at all that he would write a flattering book about the White House? They should have hired Sean Hannity to write it. This is ridiculous beyond belief that they allowed this to happen. Just shows gross incompetence.

2) So, Trump is trying to stop this book from being published because he doesn't like what it says. Freedom of speech means nothing to him apparently (well, we already knew that, but this is one more bit of evidence). He will lose this attempt and he doesn't need any more losses.

3) His threat to sue allows the press to show how often he threatens and doesn't follow through. He does that all the time, and it shows he's a dog who barks with no bite. Not a good quality in the President. North Korea should have felt the "fire and fury" by now. Just empty threats.

There is not one good quality about this person. Personally he is a vitriolic, delusional, lying, racist, misogynist. With regard to knowledge of governing, he has none. He has no leadership ability as is evidenced by all the comments that have come out about him. Those close to him say he is lazy. He has played so much golf it is insane. Why aren't you Trumpers upset about that? If he is so great, you should want him on the job more.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

What do you Trumpers think about Sessions wanting to end Obama-era policy on legalized marijuana? I thought Republicans were for states' rights?

I have never smoked pot or done any illegal drug, but I am fine with states deciding what is ok in their state. How do you Trumpers feel about this?

This post is spot on correct. Flagpole is wrong all the time. Pitiful.

Yes, this plus the incoming from Bannon is not good news for the over-sized veneers smile gang.

I agree Flagbowl and they won't stop states that have legalized it. At least that is my prediction.
