I hope you read what you posted. There is still zero evidence of "collusion" (whatever that means).

No wonder you don't see any evidence of collusion. You don't even know what it means.

Good evening! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine PM?

GDP growth for an entire year.

Re-read:

""And as far as the arbitrary calendar year being the only marker for a "year", if you simply count 4 quarters in a row, twice Obama had years (**4 quarter avg** ) with over 3% growth. So once again, of course you are being misleading. "

Yes, you are being misleading. First of all, "peaks" certainly can be mesured by quarter. By that measure, you are way off. Secondly, while I understand that calendar year is typically used to represent a "year", 4 quarters in a row = a year. That's a fact. Obama twice had 4 quarter avg's of above 3%. fact.

Donny has started at a 2.5% 4 quarter avg, with peak of 3.2 %. Really not that great to get your panties wet over. Let's see where it goes from here.

These are the facts, Dino boy, Obama never achieved a 3% annual GDP growth rate during his Administration. And before you blow a gasket (which you are prone to do), take your meds, please.

Really? Many people who voted for Trump hadn't voted in years or had voted Democrat before, and some who supported Bernie Sanders ended up voting for Trump. This is clearly not the Republican Party of even George W. Bush. Right now it is some amalgam of Far-right conservatives, racist white nationalists, evangelicals who have lost their way, some people who just want someone to take care of them, and some libertarians. It is the Trump Party now. A Party without George Will is not the Republican Party of old. Maybe reason will once again be a part of the Republican Party.

The new voters and 10% of Bernie crossovers might have been enough to swing the election (25% of Clinton primary voters went for McCain in 2008, so those nonsensical cross-over voters aren't unusual at all), but the vast majority of Trump voters were your typical Republicans who voted for the Shrubs and Reagan.

"Trumpism" didn't appear out of nowhere, it was aided by people like George Will, David Brooks, and William Buckley every step of the way. Sure, they're not Deplorables. Sometimes they had good ideas. But the "Conservative Thinkers" of old primarily served to put an intellectual sheen on a Party whose base harbored a lot of racist/theocratic/seditionist/bat-sh*t-crazy sentiments. People like George Will (along with most of the mainstream media, for that matter) pretended these people didn't exist, even as their favorite politicians pandered to them. And they fed plenty of nonsense to those folks themselves, too. George Will, for example, is a climate change denier who believes in voodoo economics. He thinks we should make Congress even stupider by implementing term-limits. He thinks a constitutional convention of the states to implement a balanced budget amendment is a good idea. He has voiced extremely bad/misinformed opinions on voting rights laws.

I have to laugh when I see people like Will and Bill Kristol and Michael Gerson getting paid by the mainstream media to lament Donald Trump and the state of the Republican Party. It's like getting Dr. Frankenstein's perspective on the terrible damage a monster is doing to the town without once asking him about all the experiments he's been conducting in his basement. Claiming that "Trumpism" is some new thing is to ignore the history of Lee Atwater and the Southern Strategy. The idea of a welfare queen was the spawn of the Reagan administration. H.W. Shrub had his Willie Horton moment. Shrub Jr. knocked McCain out of the primaries by spreading rumors about an illegitimate black child, and proceeded to unleash eight disastrous years of stupidity and maliciousness on the world that need no summarization. Republicans followed up that performance by making the dumbest woman in Alaska their candidate for VP and choosing to obstruct the black guy who won the ensuing election at every possible turn while calling him a Kenyan Muslim.

Claiming that the Republicans in Congress have only recently lost their way ignores their failure to hold anyone accountable for Iran-Contra, the rise of Newt Gingrich, his belief in a "civil war" with liberals, and the "speak like Newt" directives of the Party. It ignores the fact that they branded Rush Limbaugh "the majority maker" all the way back in 1994. It ignores the absurd lengths they went to impeach Clinton over a BJ.

My point is that Trump has been a long time coming, and his current reign of idiocy isn't THAT much different from we've gotten out of Republicans in the past. Reason will not return to the Republican party because there was very little reason there to begin with. They ain't gonna follow up Trump with a guy like John Kasich (who, let's be clear, is still a wingnut).

Yeah, about that... wrote:

Trump can't even win against himself playing with his loose marbles.

If they produced hard evidence, to your satisfaction, that Trump conspired with a foreign government, would you really even care?

HA! That's what the DEEP STATE wants useful idiots like you to think!

Trump is a GENIUS who is WINNING against the BIGGEST conspiracy of ALL TIME - the DEEP STATE!

The memo is coming. Just like I said.

The Dems are about to be eviscerated. Just like I said.

It's all over libcucks. You kept pushing, you kept howling, you just couldn't go quietly away and accept your loss.

Now You Pay

The Memo is Coming

Democucks are DONE

Of course he won't. Neither will most elected Republicans. They are preparing to make Traitor Nunes' memo attacking the FBI public while refusing to release the Democratic response. They are now investigating the FBI and Trump's own DOJ. They have declared war on the rule of law. Everyone opposed to Trump needs to start giving a lot of thought to what comes next. Mueller may very well not arrive and Trump may very well not be done. Then what? The Republican Party really is an Authoritarian Party. It is time to stop pretending otherwise, ESPECIALLY where the mainstream media is concerned.

The all-too-common mindset of "fvck everything, let's just troll for ratings and rightwing viewers" is undeniably on display with ABC's recent decision to hire Chris Christie to comment on the SOTU. (Mandatory fat joke: he'd make a great anchor.) It perfectly epitomizes how we've gotten to this point. This kind sh*t enables and empowers Trump and the GOP as much as anything else.

Why would he, you don't give a sh*t what Hillary did and if she had won, you still wouldn't. What a lying sore loser you are. The Clintons are as corrupt as they come. I'd take Obama 8 days a week before them...oh wait, all Republicans are now considered racist??? You guys are pathetic and know zero about politics. The Clintons did this and Flaggy will try to flip, twist, bend and lie about the issue. What sad lives you losers must lead. I don't live on this thread, you guys do:)

How cute. I see that you are still ooooh so clever and witty, using the same ol' lines and lies, after all these years. You should be very proud.

Back to reality: I understand that when using strictly a "calendar year", which is indeed traditionally done, what you write is true. I am not denying it. But it's **also true** that Obama had 4 quarters in a row twice where the avg was over 3%. Yes, 4 quarters in a row= a year, and you know it. Only using a calendar year is a somewhat arbitrary parameter.

HOWEVER.....since you are obsessed with GDP #'s in order to put down Obama's presidency, why don't we WIDEN the discussion a little, shall we? Let's compare GDP growth under recent Repub presidents vs under Dem presidents.

Whose avg growth over their presidency was better, Obama or W ?

How about Clinton vs Regan?

How about Jimmy Freaking Carter having better growth than W., H.W, Nixon, and even being TIED WITH SAINT RONNY REAGAN?

How about the Truman and the Kennedy/Johnson presidencies BOTH CRUSHING Ike and Nixon/Ford?

So how about all that?? How about the economy (as measured by real GDP growth) doing ***MUCH BETTER*** under Democrat presidents than under Republican ones??

How about that? ha ha ha And you and Disco Gary want to talk about guaranteeing Trump will beat Obama's performance on the economy. Don't be so confident. Don't be confident at all.

oh, and here's your link.

But I am sure you were already aware of these #'s, and just decided to ignore them when assessing Dems vs Repubs.

Nice post. Well, there’s a clear reason why Trumpkins rarely reply to you. Most wouldn't understand anything you just said... make it easier and just summarize by saying their dear leader Trump is a reflection of their ever increasing stupidity.

That’s how they do it wrote:

Because racists typically trumpet how good a job they are doing for minorities. That’s just how they roll.

Make no mistake...Trump IS a racist, but he is first and foremost a narcissist, so ANYTHING that might make him look smart or accomplished TRUMPS anything else.

Hey wait. Isn't that how this whole gotcha game got started?

I reject your checkmate...you make no sense.

Trust me, I want to jump on that bandwagon too, and the traditional Republican Party has its own issues for sure, but Donald Trump is in a league all his own. History will not be kind to him. He is demonstrably the worst President we have ever had, and he will face the music.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.
