If you're voting for a president based on social issues, you're likely compromising something elsewhere (usually, in your wallet). Current politics in the USA are designed for the upper-echelon to battle over just how wealthy they become.

Well it's too early to tell for Trump obviously but Goldman Sach's is pretty pro-Trump and they are only projecting 1.5% GDP growth.

Obama's numbers are historical fact at this point. 1.9% isn't great but Trump will be worse given current projections.

Based on what? I'd like to see the data you are looking at that contradicts the world's top investment bank who's past executives are in the current administration.

Well, after eight years of snowflake conservatives melting down over everything Obama said and did, we needed the change so other people could melt down. That's what equality is all about!

There are plenty of economists and investment managers calling for growth in the 3+ range. Maybe your Goldman buddies are under-promising so they can overachieve.

Yeah and have you put your money where your mouth is? Going to be very difficult to top the gains we made in the last 8 years under Obama.

I think we are headed for another recession personally. My portfolio is starting to shift into less risky investments until I can get a better sense of market direction.

That's fine. I had the data to back up my prediction at least. In fact, I always do.

Devos confirmed. The disaster continues...

First confirmation ever to be a tie and broken by the VP. Do Republicans have any spines?

I don't like Devos. She's a horrible pick. However, she's taking over an already broken system. It just sucks it likely will just replace one problem with another.

However, Ms Conway has made the same error before, according to Cosmopolitan.


The magazine reported Ms Conway used the same phrase during an interview in January.
In previously unpublished quotes, she said: "Two Iraqi nationals came to this country, joined ISIS, travelled back to the Middle East to get trained and refine their terrorism skills, and come back here, and were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre of taking innocent soldiers' lives away."

Unbelievable!

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/07/politics/kfile-gorka-on-fake-news/index.html
Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Donald Trump, said Monday that the administration will continue using the term "fake news" until the media understands that their "monumental desire" to attack the President is wrong.

"There is a monumental desire on behalf of the majority of the media, not just the pollsters, the majority of the media to attack a duly elected President in the second week of his term," Gorka, a former Breitbart editor who also holds a PhD in political science, told syndicated conservative radio host Michael Medved.
"That's how unhealthy the situation is and until the media understands how wrong that attitude is, and how it hurts their credibility, we are going to continue to say, 'fake news.' I'm sorry, Michael. That's the reality," he added.
So because the media is fairly and accurately reporting our President, good or bad, as long as its bad they will continue to lie to the American Public.

We have elected the enemy. I hope we can last until 2020.

A new Arkansas law will let a husband sue a doctor to stop his wife from getting an abortion. And it makes no exception for cases of spousal rape.
Wow, the assault on women continues. How disgusting. A woman can now be RAPED and be forced to have the baby if the RAPIST wants the baby.

This is the Republican party folks. Valuing the rights of rapists vs. those of victims of rape. May god have mercy on your soul.

Putin's methods work much better. Botched muggings where the muggee gets dead or a fresh salad from his Chernobyl garden.

Don't give Trump any ideas. His supporters would defend him even when he turns on them because he's sticking it to the snowflakes.

Where have all the decent Republicans went? Where are their spines? Absolutely horrifying that Trump gets any support at all in this country.
