    A simple look at the hard data shows a steady line of improvement in all areas last time I looked. I haven’t seen anything major he’s done or drastic jumps in any areas creating major shifts. He mostly golfs, attends campaign rallies, watches tv and is on Twitter for the most part. He did give corporations a major tax break, but I don’t see manufacturing jobs ever coming back to the us when they can pay people 1$ an hour in another country. He has cut a lot of regulations which is never a bad thing usually. I don’t know how long Obama gets credit but I feel comfortable now saying things are staying right on track with where they were headed. The economy isn’t my strong area and I haven’t looked at the data in a while so it’s possible I’m incorrect. If he gets re-elected and we keep this up I will give him the credit. If he actually did something with healthcare I would be more inclined to say he had a good presidency. For the most part he seems to have spent his political capital undoing Obama legislation just to say I told you so 

     

     

     

     

    You obviously spent no time looking at manufacturing employment numbers.

     

    Under obama, about all we can say is we survived, barely.  It was American business that gutted it out for 8 years despite every Marxist style assault thrown our way by the radical obama administration.  Now that we have a pro-growth president and administration, business is not under threat every time we clock in in the morning.

     

    Some people just have no idea how bad and antagonistic those 8 years were to businesses just trying make a widget, meet a payroll, and survive.

    Duval’s card ends with a 14 (adjusted from 13), an 8, and a 7.  Smooth 48 on the front side.  Rory, Scott, and Tiger cooked.

     

    My tiered team of Rose, Fleetwood, Oosty, Lowry, Hatton, Oleson finished -12 (best 4 scores); two off the pool lead.

    The whole conversation was literally about race but ok 

     

     

    Maybe start a thread on racism, then we can skip all this fake-racism-to-fit-a-liberal-narrative-and-demoize-Trump-and-all-white-males stuff.

    I feel the same thing about the word “socialism”. Certainly North Korea and Venezuela are examples of how socialism can ruin a country. Free healthcare or college to me isn’t “socialism” plenty of countries incorporate these things very easily. There are also plenty of countries that incorporate aspects of socialism for the betterment of their people. I feel like the middle class is voting against their best interests overall just to fix immigration. I still see the rich benefiting the most from gop policy

     

     

    For God’s sake there is NOTHING free about it; their taxes are through the roof, and the incentive to work hard to get ahead is nill.

     

    Get in the game!

    "Wokeback Mountain"

    There's been a concerted effort by the far left to change the meaning of words and people are slowly starting to conform to it. The mislabeling of fascism, nazism and even nationalism. There's nothing wrong with being a nationalist IMO. But we're slowly being led, as a society, to believe that the very utterance of the word "nationalism" is a dog whistle for racism. 

     

    They have been doing this for years.  Progressive = Marxist, but they can’t call themselves Marxists and get enough votes.  There is a plethora of other examples.

    What’s the difference in the types of bigotry exhibited?  The left can say that the right is racist, and it is taken by many as gospel.  Yet, the left, such as Hillary, can call economically or educationally disadvantaged people ‘deplorables’, and treat them as such………….and that is ok.  Bigotry and mockery over education levels or economic strata is as bad as any other type of bigotry, such as racial.  But when you are a democrat, it’s different …..every time.

    The content of the tweets notwithstanding, Drumpf has flipped the script and forced the democrat party to embrace the retarded "squad" again,  just as Pelosi almost had them marginalized. 

    They're back to being the faces of the party, and that's a net win for the Orange Man. 

     

     

    The Squad think Orange Man be white.

    If they weren't idiot radicals, they would have dunked so hard on Trump getting up there and just saying "we're trying to make America great again, too".

    The problem with the identity politics of the left is, instead of being a foil against his ideas and offering their vision to make America better, they mainly just say it's racist.  That's not a very compelling message for moderates/independents.

     

     

    Well, when your other messages are socialism and Marxism, you need to have something.

    For the first time in 68 years The Open goes to Northern Ireland and returns to Portrush.  It looks beautiful up there; should be a great championship.  Who do you like?
