Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

I don't know - I agree that everyone has a bias (myself included) - but I can certainly be convinced with the right data.

Either way, that was really my point. Makes the whole 'discussion' a little silly.

Meanwhile, I found the articles.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/six-months-after-tax-reform-something-big-is-happening-1529623581
http://thehill.com/opinion/finance/393550-6-months-in-gop-tax-bill-an-utter-flop

And while looking for them, I found that the same site had competing perspectives on the same day:

There you go again. Not everyone twists everything.
Of course not, but that is directly correlated with how strong their opinion is on the matter. When you are dealing with opinion columnists then of course they will twist it. That is what they do for a living!

Average hourly wage is down according to that article. Is that because there are now more previously unemployed people now with jobs on the low end of the payscale or because people got pay cuts?

Is anyone here more biased against Trump than me? Do I try and twist the great unemployment numbers. Biased individuals can also be fair.

Especially since your issue is more with the person than the policy.

Either someone is making up numbers or they need to be reconciled with each other.

What's to reconcile? Repatriated money doesn't automatically equal a better economy.

Of course not! It probably does contribute and definitely brings on tax revenue to make up for cuts.

Yes it brings on tax revenue, but that's a losing argument overall, given the size of the cuts overall.

Not sure if it is illegal but like separating kids from their mothers it is wrong and unamerican. Everyone wants to make this about politics.

True but that is not something for courts to decide.
