There is only one explanation...
The polls about congressional job approval and the direction of the country are rigged!

No no - that is not it.
People want change, but only if it is in the right direction. They don't want a clown muppet to take the whole country on a trip to the shitter so that we can all experience his shame spiral.

No no - that is not it.
The oligarchs have rigged everything. They have rigged the polls and paid off the media to lie to us in a desperate attempt to fool us into electing their puppet and cover up the impending ballot fraud. Only the Wikileaks Albino, Alex Jones, and Breitbart speak the truth. We must watch the polls so that Trump will win in a landslide and save the country!

DieBankOfAmericaPhukkingDie - the anti-Trump Hillary Bot that ironically supports Hillary Clinton, yet apparently despises BankofAmerica, which along with other major banks, is essentially funding Hillary Clinton's campaign with tens of millions of dollars.

The #OrangeDoucheBag has Magic bone spurs. They only show up when there's a war and they go away when he needs to "Move on her like a bitch." Magic.

You'd have a blowhard who could at least play the piano.

Are you sure it's not the Russian Bear?

A bunch of old ladies pelting Trumpligula with their sopping wet panties like Liberace, would put Trumpligula into a "narcissistic-insult" catatonic state from which he would never emerge.

Et tu, Trumpligula?

This could flip the greenhouse gas moral highground hot potato issue over to the 'pubs...

LOL!

She can't get over 1000 without star power.
She's co-opting Rock concerts to be Hillary Rallies. I think people will go see these stars, but tune Hildabeast out when she drones on about the vote.

People like Bill Maher are just as scary as people on the far right that he is talking about that don't see how flawed Trump is. I can understand a person making a choice on a lesser evil but anybody that truly likes either of these choices is crazy and living in their own reality.

This thing just won't quit! It's been the top performer of my portfolio.

@Patrick, still holding?

Yup, still have it!

I usually buy and forget for a year, then re-evaluate.

Baseless accusations are transparent attempts at poisoning the well. One could make the baseless statement "People like whomever are scary extremists" about any person. Making such a statement does not make it true. You need to back that shit up with some evidence that a person is proposing crazy and dangerous ideas. You can't do that against Bill Maher because, regardless of how much you dislike the things he values (liberty, truth before politics, equality of opportunity, accountability), he backs up his ideas with actual evidence and reasoning. So by definition, that's not crazy talk.

I would have to say there is no greater authority on vulgar and tacky than Bill Maher.

You can't argue with someone who makes their living with it.

Another example of a poisoning the well fallacy. Only fools fall for this. How foolish do you think the PatNet audience is?

Trumpligula practices his slobbering Grannie kisses in the mirror that he will shower on Putin after he wins the election.

Ceffer says

Et tu, Trumpligula?

Good one.

Ceffer says

Now imagine if her opponent was someone who
- tortured people
- killed innocent people
- labeled African Americans as "super predators"
- slut shames a child rape victim
- sold out the middle class
- supported a massive domestic spying program that is entirely illegal
- obstructed justice multiple times including in investigations of herself

Shit, that drag queen looks great in contrast.

They are both turd sandwiches. Vote Jill Stein. She meets your criteria of having a cliterous, and she meets my criteria of having ethics, a brain, and compassion.

If that was true he wouldn't be ignoring everything about Hillary he should be horrified by our choice, but he isn't. Nobody should be giving anyone a pass, the well is poisoned

Heh, Heh!

Why bother poisoning a well that's already poisoned?

Translation: Maher thinks that Hillary is the lesser of the two evils. I think that Trump is the lesser of the two evils. Therefore Maher is evil.

Stupid logic.

Bill Maher strongly preferred Sanders over Hillary. He hardly has given her a pass. Even though I think that a Trump presidency would be the lesser of the two evils in the long run, I don't make bullshit straw man arguments against those who think Hillary's the lesser evil.

Bill Maher would also strongly support Jill Stein as president, but knows she can't get elected as a third party candidate under America's stupid electoral laws.

Put simply, you are trying to make an ad hominem attack against a person simply because that person isn't in 100% agreement with you. This is lame. You should attack the arguments of your opponents. You are not doing that. And that is why you are lame.

Tampajoe says

OK Logan--

Let me try to open your mind. Can you consider the possibility that money has been flowing up to the top 0.1% for the last 30+ years as shown by the wealth disparity charts? And that this wealth concentration is what's causing interest rates to go lower and lower as there is more and more money sitting around looking for investments?

Logan, what's your response to this?

SubOink says

Can you consider the possibility that money has been flowing up to the top 0.1

Middle Class shrunk because more people are making 100K

and homeowners and the U.S. has more net wealth excluding Debt both federal and household than all the GDP of the counties together tied and then some

What....

0.01% have a lot $$$ they hoard and middle is strong, educated class are kicking ass

Our women kicks ass

This will never fit into the liberal left wing who have cried about America since 1790

I will bring 100,000 boxes of tissues for all your tears

All the liberals on this site, if your lives was half as bad as you cry about you all would have left to Nordic countries years ago

You are correct on this, but Maher is simply a frightened cuck at this point since the regressive leftist hyenas and SJWs almost axed him after he made politically incorrect statements about islam. They came for his head and almost got him but he was able to wind out of the stranglehold and is treading lightly while parroting the leftists dystopian narrative ever since. He may get a few brownie points for this but it won't save him from the pack next time he slips up.

Maybe that is where you should be

Maybe this country is too hard..

I get it...

Peddling Fiction

You're opinion is clearly not biased in any way or based on hysterical emotional reaction.

Logan-

Nice that you use household income to hide the fact that it is now taking two earners to make slightly more than what 1 earner used to make. Why don't you index that household income to hours worked to remove the effect of women working at a much higher rate now vs. 1970? Or make an adjustment for the child care costs that households now have to pay vs. 1970 when they didn't?

What are households going to do now? There isn't anyone left to get a job and boost income unless we legalize polygamy.

Tampajoe says

now taking two earners to make slightly

And fyi--please point to 1 post where I've said my life was bad.

Stop with the nonsense. It just shows you cannot engage in an adult discussion, but must resort to childlike insults.

And right on cue--Logan posts Ironman's favorite picture. Very mature.

Peddling Fiction TATU

So let's discuss it then.

What is wrong with my analysis? Are there not more two income families in 2016 vs. 1970? Does that not skew the household income data?

How am I assuming that high school drop outs are primary wage earners?

Let's stick to my questions above. Is it true that there are more 2 income households now vs. 1970? Wouldn't that skew the household income data?

Edit--And by the way, I'm not complaining at all.

Peddling fiction

From people who would never attached their real names and faces to them

keep on peddling fiction

radical left and radical right are only different in their lack of capacity to understand non ideological economics

So, I take it that you don't want to have an adult discussion then?
