These polls are what would affect the Dems in national elections. I would suspect that "the Squad" will do just fine in their home districts and get re-elected.

Their Consumer society should be rivaling our postwar boom.

At least it should look a bit more like Japan circa 1950 to 1980, where a devastated post-war nation went from ruins to the most modern country in the world with a huge consumer market.

But that's what you get with a post-Soviet-type of system in place.

they've got the worlds greatest domestic economic engines

Not if it produces mass malinvestments like ghost cities.

We need to build those in CA, they won't be ghost cities though here due to shortages of housing.

We did exactly that and it's still a ghost city for the most part. It's called California City and it's the third largest city in this state by area. Population? About 10K.

Money is backed by the middle class. Not takers on the dole.

Yep!

This is all about their Squad Insurrection Problem

Should be called the "Socialist Squad" or "SS" for short.

Perhaps they should at some point start paying the debt down, as candidate Trump promised.
And I fail to see why R's are not holding Trump's feet to fire - they in theory are the party of fiscal responsibility...but apparently only when D's are in power.

Because it is our billionaires causing these countries to suffer while we work towards getting a more cooperative regime. While we wage neverending wars. While our economic hit men work on destabilizing those countries.

While I agree that meddling in other countries is criminal and stupid, the evil American Capitalist is not hiding under every bed. In some cases, the locals are doing a magnificent job trashing their own countries. For example, I am unaware of recent US interventions in Nigeria, Senegal, Pakistan, etc, and people are still running to West from there. I do not see why we should accept people from those countries. On the contrary, many countries where US intervened - Japan, Taiwan, S. Korea are pretty affluent. Vietnam is getting there as well, although if South had won, they would have been rich for 30 years already.

And how is that Americas fault?

EVERYTHING is America's fault, silly!

Buttigig should be impeached absolutely.

For bumblasting in the Gary, Indiana city limits or wherever he is supremo?

Something along those lines yeah.

Wantonly Indifferent Criminal Cuntiness?

There's nobody from either party who doesn't meet that description. Maybe it's time to make Putin our dictator to make everything in America all right again!

If there was no collusion or obstruction why does tRump have his panties in a bunch over Mueller testifying?

Because for the last couple of years Mueller has been colluding to obstruct the presidency.

Those quotes leave out Mueller's stuttering and mumbling.

Poorly if you consider back firing a bad thing.

There is a reason he won't comment on the source of the investigation today and the dossier. Those 'ongoing matters' are going to bite a lot of lefty fucks in the ass.

good luck with that - no billionaire has ever been successfully prosecuted. "Hope springs eternal"

To earn money for a few law firms while carefully balancing to not offend any side of the investigation would be my guess.

Mueller is obviously tainted. He is a Globalist Blasey Ford political tool. He needs to be fined for every penny of taxpayer money he wasted.

applause?

Maybe he and Mueller can be cell mates. Give 'em each a shank and see who comes out alive.

Prime trolling

I never open a heyyou thread until someone comments.

I think I do recall they said something coherent once, but I could be mistaken

Trump doesn't give a shit but the Democrats keep having dog and pony shows hoping that the lie will become reanimated like a corpse.

After 2020 you may expect to see assholes like Brennan, Clapper, Comey, et. al under the hot lights for their mischief in 2016.

The whole testimony was a disaster. Mueller barely knew what planet he was on, and looked bumbling and fumbling.

Mueller only came today in an attempt to reignite the impeachment fires and try to distract from the upcoming FBI/Obama Administration investigation into collusion to interfere with the Election.

He was only good in a couple of movies. Because he played the same rough and rugged dark drifter in them.
The rest of his movies sucked. He wasn't dynamic enough for any role beyond The Hitcher.

His Blind Fury was a rip off of a Japanese series Zatoichi.

Trump is not in control of the eGOP. As you yourself reinforce when you say, "And I fail to see why R's are not holding Trump's feet to fire - they in theory are the party of fiscal responsibility...but apparently only when D's are in power."

If Trump gets a second term tho, that is when he can strike -- if he choses to do this -- by vetoing budgets left and right.

He is blowing deficit out of water with tax cuts he pushed through, although tax cuts will probably delay recession until after elections. In any case, at some point deficit will become unmanageable, and we will end up in an economic cataclysm.

No doubt. What can't go on forever won't go on forever.

Robert Mueller doesn't seem fit enough to run a senior citizens bingo event let alone an independent investigation into a president of the United States.

HEYYOU you should take yourself out of that propaganda world that you read every day. You are making yourself go crazy if you just listen to constant stream of left wing bullshit.

NO! Selling plebes and their children for organs is much more profitable. WIN-WIN! Fresh organs, increased life spans for Masters of Universe (TM) and a lot of economic activity, with GDP growing fast!

They have re-named the Mueller Report 'The Senile Report'. The Dems couldn't crowbar a new indictment out of that fucker if they promised him a Snickers and new nappies.

He lived a long time for a Replicant.

I dunno, other countries have negative interest rates, so why not us too. If people are willing to buy treasuries and get less back for them at maturity than they initially paid, mathematically the federal debt can continue to increase forever. Of course, realistically the system will implode at a certain point, but with negative interest rates that point may be further than most would guess.

Now they'd just complain they couldn't play anything without a pension and three times as many taxes.

that won't solve your problem.

Sorry guys, it was boring as shit and I fell asleep.

OccasionalCortex says

No he isn't. Tax cuts do not cause deficits; spending does. ALWAYS.

Does not make sense at all. If we cut taxes to 0 and do not decrease spending at all, is it still problem with spending? Seems to me that it is a balance, and both tax cuts or insufficient collection and bloated spending is a problem.
