posted by jmogMy tax burden is lower and my 401k and IRA are both much higher now than in 2016. I have made many more “dollars” since Trump took office. I am also not rich.
Unless you have no job and have no money at all in the stock market, you have made money because Trump is in office. You may not want to admit it, but facts don’t care about your feelings.
So, to recap:
1. Geeblock used how he hasn't made money to say that no one has made money -- ie: the logical fallacy of using anecdotal evidence to claim something is truth.
And in response:
2. Jmog used how he has made money to say that anyone who has done anything has made money -- ie: the logical fallacy of using anecdotal evidence to claim something is truth.
And that is the Internet in a nutshell.
posted by jmogGeeblock said NO ONE ON THIS SITE has made more money because Trump vs Obama.
Since the DJIA is the most used index and closely would mimic any broad range diverse holdings (various mutual funds, etc) that would be the logical index to use.
He has been proven wrong since he said NO ONE he just didn’t say “me”.
I mean, what g block said was very dumb. But you using one index to say you’re guaranteed to make money since 2017 is just wrong and dumb. Plenty of people have lost money in their portfolios since January 2017. Their portfolios were not very diversified, yes. But it’s not 100% you’re making money in the market the last two years.
posted by iclfan2I didn’t say anything about what BHS said (which was reported by ABC, sorry journalists continue to suck). Just was pointing out the guy is a douche who made up a racial/ political attack. I will admit I’m wrong when they arrest a white Trump supporter. Until then, his story is garbage (which there are facts to support). The police wouldn’t even give a shit if it were you or me claiming this.
And I agree with automatik, stories like this are why I hate twitter. No one, including myself, should be giving a shit about this guy.
The only people who really care about this are the extreme libs who want so desperately for the attackers to be white MAGA people. And those on the other side who want so desperately for this to be made up by the guy to make people hate MAGA people. That’s it
posted by CenterBHSFanahh, I didn't see it. Thanks for giving the heads up! Also I should let you know that I don't always say "wait for all the facts to come out". It's fair to point out when/where I'm wrong but you don't have to put words in my mouth.
If you want to dig through my posts to gather up all these times I have said that, I'll wait for all the facts to come out ;)
My apologies. I was really talking to icl.
posted by iclfan2It’s been weeks, not a couple of days. The dude is a liar. Maybe he got attacked, but not by 2 white maga dudes.
Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t. I don’t think his story is 100% accurate. But I’ll wait to hear all the facts before making factual statements on what happened. You’re running with false rumors because it’s what you want to believe. Just admit it.
^^The CPD have already said that rumor is false. For two people who always post to wait for all the facts to come out before placing blame, you sure are quick to post half-facts in this case. Lol
Lol
posted by jmogIn 2 years DJIA has averaged 20% increase year over year. In the last 3 years of Obama it averaged 6%. You are selectively ignoring facts to fit your belief, which is confirmation bias.
That’s also just one index. And an index is just a broad range picture of the market. Technically, depending on what gblock holds, he could be doing significantly better in his portfolio during those last three years of Obama versus first couple years of trump.
For example, if he holds a lot of international, he’s not happy these last few years.
Pointing out one fact about one index is also pointing out fact to fit YOUR belief.
posted by ernest_t_bassI get where you're both coming from. You really are better off saying "POTUS's spending tax payer money to golf outrages me!"
Ccs point that it’s ok with him because no one gave the previous guy any shit for it (which is debateable) is a terrible argument.
posted by SpockSure....then everyone knows your argument is lame.
It’s not really an argument. It’s a fact that he uses a ton of tax payer money to go golfing. You’re ignoring that fact because Obama did, too. Which is blind partisanship 101.
posted by SpockThats my point. You dont get to post about trump playing golf and ignore the fact that Obama did the same thing
So every time I want to mention trump playing a lot of golf, you want me to put a little disclaimer that Obama did too? That will satisfy you? Fucking weirdo. You’re obsessed with Obama.
posted by SpockLOL....I dont think any of them sound moderate at this point.
You are judging me based on the fact that you think I hug Trumps nuts. Maybe on about 40% of what he does. I could care less about what he or anyone else thinks about moral political issues. I vote with my wallet. I vote based on the rule of law. You can take immigration, abortion and everything else.
Really trying to argue you don’t slobber on trump’s nuts?
posted by SpockYes it was.....1074% relevant that someone complains about Trump spending money on golf. My guess is that Obama spent tens of millions that it. You dont throw stones in a glass house without breaking a few windows.
Both Obama and Trump play too much golf and spend too much taxpayer dollars on their golf trips.
Now, what do ya got?
Doesn’t it cost like several hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly Air Force One? And then another several hundreds of thousands of dollars to have the secret service there to protect him? I mean, how stupid is CC that he doesn’t think it cost money for the president to play golf because the golf course doesn’t actually charge him for the round? LOL
