This song is the epitome of what Trump hates. Tolerance and respect.

f**k Trump.

[whitey]

It doesn't matter what you're hearing, if I'm being honest. Trump appeals to a segement of the right, but no one else. It sets him at a severe handicap in general elections as in all but the last one (because the other nominee proved equally divisive) you need to solidify your base to win. Trump didn't even come close to doing that even at his brightest moment. And the energy on the left to remove him will be just as great as any passion there is for him on the alt-right.

Even the democrats won't be able to fumble the ball like the did last year a second time.

That is brilliant, keep thinking like that, the alt right is not the reason Trump won the election, you are as delusional as the democrats. If the democrats keep this attitude in 2020 they are toast! Their arrogance and stupidity knows no bounds.

Sy.......65,000,000 people voted for him

You are either completely clueless or just trying to stir up trouble

Not a lot of discussion on Al Franklin resigning his senate seat.  Will this mean an election? 

[whitey]

The governor gets to pick a temporary replacement and already has. I think there's a special election sometime in the New Year

Trump was elected on 4/5  policy issues he said he would take care of
The southern border with Mexico building the wall
Do something about isis
Remove usa from perceived bad trade /climate  agreements
Quit the pc bs in politics call it as u see it
Bring back jobs to the USA
It helped Clinton was his opponent but these are the issues he was elected on and it may seem simplistic but ithey are the reasons and the dems had opposite opinion on every one of them and he has delivered on some of them already so he will not be defeated very easily.

He hasn't delivered on jobs.
He gave huge tax cuts to the rich.
And he sacked Comey.

Loser

nobody gives a damn about comey, unemployment is at 4%, there has been no tax cuts as of today .im on the ground here not reading the gaurdian

No Comey sacking no Mueller.
Sacking Comey was insane

It doesn't include people who have given up looking for work.

So? If you're not looking for work then you don't count as unemployed. Why would you? If you don't want to work then you don't get a mention in the figures because you don't matter.

You drop out of the stats after 12 or 15 months.
The Fed and Trump say unemployment is low when it is nor.And the Philips curve which is about the relationship between unemployment and payrises and core to Fed modelling is not working.

The Philips Curve is the relationship between unemployment and inflation. I think it was Nixon's administration that expected to be able to fight inflation with policies that would increase unemployment. What happened was unemployment went up but so too did inflation. Instead of going back down the Philips Curve to the right, the line kept going in a clockwise loop, going up to the right through a period of stagflation before turning down to the left into a recovery period. It's been a series of clockwise loops ever since.

"Half of the three-percentage-point decline in labor-force participation since the end of 2007 is due to the aging of the workforce." CBO

For people who have given up looking for work, see:



Hardly an indictment of Obama policies.

I saw an analysis from 2012 that put real unemployment at 29.7m.allowing for the collapse in the labor participation rate.  Maybe it is 25 m today.
That would be around 15%.

Amazing what you can do when you redefine "unemployed" to include retired people.
