@WookieMan no, since I rewrote the whole thing I don't have that function anymore, where if you "befriend" another user and they accept, you can see their email address.

I take it that that is still a desired feature. Would not be that hard to get back.

In the meantime, tell me who you want to contact, and I'll ask them if they want me to give you their email address.

Republican administration Black unemployment seems to constantly rise

Democrats take over and constantly lower Black unemployment

Trump lies to pretend to his unquestioning sheep like he did something to improve black unemployment rates. Very dishonest the way things are being framed here. They then pretend to celebrate as if they give a fuck about blacks

Democrats are Ray Cyst!!

WTF is controversial about ending chain migration for nieces, cousins, aunts, etc.? It's one thing to bring in wife or kid, another thing to bring in your Islamic Radical nephew, the 5th son of your 3rd brother.

That's exactly who tried to attack in NYC a few weeks ago. One moved in and before you know it the whole clan was living in Brooklyn.

Apparently the Democrats loudly booed the proposal to greatly restrict chain migration to nuclear family members.

No that's fine. I think he got my comment regarding the issue. Just wasn't sure if it was still a feature.

Trump does not have the speech giving skills that Clinton and Obama had. I expected it to be non inspirational.
But you know what? Speech giving skills is all "sizzle" I look at the meat, and the meat was wonderful.

And we are serving our brave veterans, including giving our veterans choice in their healthcare decisions. Last year, the Congress passed, and I signed, the landmark VA Accountability Act. Since its passage, my Administration has already removed more than 1,500 VA employees who failed to give our veterans the care they deserve -- and we are hiring talented people who love our vets as much as we do.

I will not stop until our veterans are properly taken care of, which has been my promise to them from the very beginning of this great journey.

https://www.leafly.com/news/politics/how-veterans-are-leading-the-fight-for-cannabis-reform
It is said that a veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, “wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America’ for an amount up to and including their life.” Unfortunately, two dozen are cashing those checks each day, losing their lives to suicide or overdose. The situation is projected to get much worse if new and innovative therapies are not adopted.

Post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and alcoholism are ravaging our ranks. The VA’s “go-to” treatment plan of prescribing copious amounts of prescription drugs, including powerful and addictive opioids, is making an already devastating situation even worse.

A guiding principle I learned in SEAL training—one that all veterans learn early in their service—is to never leave a teammate behind. You adapt and overcome, use every tool at your disposal to ensure everyone comes home.
How is it possible, then, that Congress and subsequently the VA could deny veterans’ access to medical cannabis, one of the tools that is bringing veterans back from the brink? Our elected officials say they support veterans, yet they repeatedly turn their backs to effective treatments that modern research has shown can safely and effectively save their lives.
Even veterans who use cannabis in legal medical cannabis states risk losing their hard-earned VA benefits.

I saw Democratic response. It was just a colossal whining in comparison. That's what Democratic party has become, a party of whining SJW's.

Trump delivered a truly memorable speech about jobs, something America needs! It's pretty clear the direction we are heading in.

And the NY Times, true to form, has to find negative things to say about Trump no matter what he does:

Trump Can Sell an Improved Economy, but Not Himself
By PETER BAKER 14 minutes ago

He passed tax cuts, and the economy he inherited continues to grow. But many Americans still hold dismal views of Mr. Trump.


Many Americans held still hold dismal views of Mr. Obama too, but the NY Times would absolutely never print such a statement. Why is that?

Obama gets credit for preventing a depression.
Trump gets credit for a full recovery, and the coming boom.
It's as simple as that. Lets be honest.

Where did Obama fail, but Trump succeeded?

Everything Trumpcucks are touting as success is merely a continuation of Obamas success

I wish people would stop repeating the propaganda so i can stop defending Obama with the simplest of truths. Reality shouldn’t clash with your view of the world so violently. I don’t even like Obama, I just have a nagging duty to protect the truth. Like Patrick always said, it is important to tell the truth. He also said to question those on the opposite side of the truth, what are you afraid of? The fear of proving that your hate for Obama was always only about his skin color

Well if we’re being honest here, it looks like The S&P tripled under Obama. It looks like it’s up about 27% under Trump.

Outside of emotional feelZ by the Trumpcucks, i dont see a break in the trend line, nor any action by Trump that warrants crediting Trump with Obamas economy.

If truth and reality is so important, how about overlaying what REALLY made that market rise under Obama:



Without multiple rounds of QE injected, that market would have flatlined. Obama had NOTHING to do with the rise.

Proof, here is the DOW chart for Obama's last two years, after QE was shut off:



This is Obama's recovery WITHOUT help from the FED, was that so wonderful?

Rise and fall. ISIS rose under Obama. Pretty much destroyed under Trump.

China.
China kept the North Koreans alive under Obama. They cut off the life line to NK under Trump.

Not to mention, the Trump market just for this January is up almost 1500 points, where it barely grew 700 points the whole last two years of Obama.

Thanks for proving my point. Draw a line on your chart from jan 20th 09 to jan 20th 17, obamas presidency. The trend is in tact. Looks like it got ahead of itself a little bit mid 15- mid 16, consolidated, and then resumed the trend mid 2016, long before Trump took office. So you agree with me, I’m correct.

Obama stretched the facts in his final SOTU on jobs, deficits, health care, military spending and carbon emissions.

Summary
President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address came up short of the facts on several topics:

He embellished his record on jobs, citing “more than 14 million new jobs,” without mentioning that’s only private sector jobs and only since the job losses hit bottom in February 2010.

Obama similarly omitted part of his presidency in boasting of nearly 900,000 manufacturing jobs “in the past six years.” Over his entire time in office, manufacturing jobs have gone down by 230,000.

And he said he had cut the country’s deficits by “almost three-quarters.” But that’s measured from fiscal 2009, which included some increased spending by Obama.

He repeated his now years-long claim of crediting the Affordable Care Act for a slowdown in health care spending, which economists have linked mainly to the economy. In fact, the growth rate jumped in 2014, when the law’s coverage provisions were implemented.

Obama claimed, like he did in 2014, that the U.S. has “cut carbon pollution more than any other country on Earth.” That’s true in terms of total tonnage but not in terms of percentage reductions.

He said that the U.S. spends “more on our military than the next eight nations combined.” That’s close enough in terms of dollars, but as a share of the nation’s economy, the U.S. is only the fourth highest of the top 15 countries.

If someone gets shot, and the response is "He’s a Piece of Shit", that sounds very much like a justification for the shooting.

How long does one have to wait after someone gets shot before they can call the poor bastard a piece of shit? I mean, can Scalise skate through the rest of his life without fear of criticism? You seem hyper defensive, here.
