Trump is so corrupt and so incompetent that everybody who can afford to run thinks they can beat him.

So which candidate will you vote for?

Tulsi and then Trump for me, unless some other viable candidate comes along.

marcus says

pathologically constantly dishonest President

Still waiting for the biggest baddest, not hyperbole, bold face lie you heard from Trump.

BobD says

I've already done this and turns out he lied.

Of course he did. It's what politicians do.

Remind us of the biggest, baddest, not hyperbole, lie you think Trump made?

Meanwhile back the DNC

Here's one of those deep state conspiracies. The pancake theory of how the Twin Towers fell:

Either the corrupt old system is fighting for its life against Trump or Trump is just a paid actor for the system. You can't really say the system is not corrupt after all the "conspiracy theories" we have been through for the last century.

I Hope Trump really is for truth, justice, and the American way.

Ever play Jenga?
Why does the whole damn tower collapse (downward) just because the top 1/4 of the structure falls?

People on medicare should be the first to reject medicare for all.

Seniors pay into the Medicare system their entire working lives. Medicare "for all" would be guaranteed to dilute the value these seniors are getting from their lifetime of payments.

Marcus, as an ex cboe trader yourself, you know the internal eyerolling you do when you hear ignorant traders discuss volatility? Dont be that guy

marcus says

Attempted to stop illegal immigration.
Got us out of the Paris climate change agreement.
Beat Hillary.

The third one alone was worth voting for a reality show actor.

marcus says

Seriously, you want to blame California's tent cities on Trump? What is next, blame sanctuary cities on Republicans?

By the way, it is not just record stock prices, it is record low employment as well.

marcus says

What have the democrats done for America, ever?

marcus says

boomers are gone becasue

Yeah they're

Jenga blocks are made of SOLID wood. WTC was mostly air. That's why the rubble pile kept burning for so many months. Fires need air.

Above meme does not know the difference between tax loopholes and tax rates.

marcus says

Lower federal income taxes
Create incentives for business that then go hire people
Attempt to restrict illegal immigration

For starters. And worth voting for on those three points alone.

marcus says

Cause Russia is just kicking the worlds ass?

I’m sure they had the best US economy ever in mind when they interfered in the 2016 election.

marcus says

How can a meme be confused ?

Just keep posting them. Occasionally You post a funny one.

marcus says

CovfefeButDeadly says

best US economy ever

When did everyone become propagandists ?

Based just low unemployment numbers ? The unemployment trend was very much in place before Trump.

People are working, but does that mean they can afford good housing, or college, or health care, or retirement ? Best economy ever ? Really ?

Highest wage ever, even on an inflation adjusted basis Marcus.

And I don’t know who all these people without healthcare are. I actually don’t know anyone without healthcare, all the way down to fast food workers.

The thing is, you must REALLY be sticking your head in the sand because here in Los Angeles we have it even better than most with literally no jobs paying minimum wage. Even fast food jobs start at $13 an hour plus. Average salary in LA County is over $30 an hour...$63k a year. City of LA is even doing better than that with an average salary of $73k a year as is OC. And median household income in CA is nearing in on $90k a year which is just bonkers(average household income in LA County is around $65k).

It’s not even close. It’s by far the best economy in any of our lifetimes and if you are not making hay right now, you truly suck at life. I ran into a young lady working at a loca store, who used to work at a car wash near me and found out that had been her second job and she was working 7 days a week for a few years. Turns out that she lives with her parents and her family now makes enough that she doesn’t have to contribute to the household and quit the second job so she can go to college for nursing. And that’s just killer imo.

Also consider that even though these wages probably STILL won’t buy you a house in LA, SF, etc, a wage half that buys you a truly nice home anywhere in the Midwest and in most of the south. For example, Omaha is nearly a million people in its metro area and some decent parts you can get a nice home for $150k. A family income of $50k makes for an ok lifestyle and $80k makes you damn near a king. Considering median income is $56k, it means nearly that entire metro is doing fantastic. And it’s just one example.

I purposely didn’t put all the links in here. You really need to get your head out of CNN and MSNBHEEHAW’s ass and do a little searching because your basis of belief is so off on this. I actually think you will come to Jesus on this one.

So the left can meme after all.

Only if they use Premiere Pro....

marcus says

Perhaps it is a Russian plot?

TDS effects a quite diverse cross section of the population; almost all democrats, many "neo-cons", and some otherwise right thinking people suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Maybe the Ruskies have taken over CNN and have figured out how to brainwash the masses? We already know they have controlled PBS for decades.

Americans will be meddling in the 2020 election ZOMG!!

BobD says

You didn't know that's for editing videos?

Memes. Memes. Memes. What software do you use for your memes? The word any seems to be stuck in your... well never mind...

marcus says

People are working, but does that mean they can afford good housing, or college, or health care, or retirement

They can get all of that if they work hard and jump through all the right hoops. But where is the fun in that?

I agree with your sentiment that things are not great for many people, but taking from productive people and giving it to non productive people while the administration of this wealth redistribution system takes a 90% cut is not going to lead to more productive people.

BobD says

So the left can meme after all.

I don't think anyone fits on a two degree spectrum. I just call them as I see them.

Four things that would solve most of America's wealth inequity problems:

1. Bring back flophouses so guys down on their luck can stay near the urban center on a crappy old hard mattress and pay by the day/week until they've earned a stake
2. Consent or Fault Divorces Only
3. Declare Federal Emergency Development credits when Unemployment Rates are below 3% for Developers to build TRULY affordable housing either for rent or purchase. I'm talking studios, 1 beds, and a handful of two beds, very small, near Urban Centers. Trumps all local zoning on grounds of National Emergency. Developers can offset big profits on lux complexes by building and making smaller profits on more modest housing.
4. Two Strikes Child policy: After first two illegit kids on Welfare, no more benefits without getting sterilized -- applies to Men and Women.

This would also reduce a shitload of social problems.

Remember, the same liberals who claim hate to legislate morality are happy to forbid you plastic straws and demand you not misgender a tranny with the wrong pronoun.

And this from The Tinfoil Gazette

Then I guess they need to redo those lists that show relative cost of living relative to jobs, to get LA higher up on the list (or lower?) .

This list has LA as the 11th most expensive cost of living. Of course they have to pay better than minimum wage.

What are you talking about?

WookieMan says

CBOE, I'm falling for it myself, but it's clearly trolling at this point. Best to just ignore it.

@WookieMan OK, BobD has consistently made personal comments and also started marking posts as nsfw when they are clearly just political.

He's the same bad user who has done this kind of stuff many times, so he's out of here.

Dang! He was about to reveal the crime that Trump committed.
