Lets see if this "forecast" is any better than the last few anti-Trump based "forecasts."

"The backlash to gun control in Virginia is being fueled by conspiracy theories and misinformation

Yes, misinformation like: Gun owners are talking civil war and "standard" gun control laws and Multiple Democratic lawmakers have reportedly received threats, including death threats.

The reality is: “second amendment sanctuary” resolutions, which promise that local governments will not enforce state gun laws they see as unconstitutional. You know, like sanctuary cities.

You mean the ones that dont mimic Trumps own predictions? Which have been consistently exaggerated, biggly.

Brexit will Create! A! Recession! - just before the vote, sez World Bank.

Since Brexit hasn't happened yet, bit premature to call them wrong. Looks like we will find out in the next year.

You think world bank is anti Trump ? They might be, but this is obviously a real forecast, and it's only slightly below the average GDP growth to date under Trump. And it's global.

Michelle's IPP is coming for your gun!

What is IPP, Immense Prolapsed Pussy?

I'm a grown ass man,no one can offend me.

You are an ass, man? Who knew.

They predicted the "LEAVE" vote result would ruin Britain. Three years since and no recession. In fact, for many of the 12 quarters since then, Britain has been near or at the top of European growth rates.

The UK media with few exemptions also predicted an LSE collapse if Brexit happened, as well. Another thing that never happened.

Just like Krugman predicted America's economic future to be a disaster if Trump was elected. Exact opposite happened.

No. It's fueled by all of the communists openly stating they want to confiscate our guns and "redistribute" our wealth.

People don’t want their right taken away by few assholes in government. It’s simple.

And it’s ok to kill politicians who try to take rights, as proven by revolution.

Geee...shows just how HARD the Dems work to rip off taxpayers

So they are trying to get ahead of trumps second term. Nice

Why 700k might as well go to 0, oh that might be racist with dem base.

NoYes says

Never underestimate them. They can do better. Ghetto whomper collectors and their occasionally employed government worker relatives will be press ganging on doorsteps some day.

World Bank: "If you vote for Trump, the economy will COLLAPSE and Jesus won't love you any more!"

What was their forecast for 2018 and 2019? Were they right?

They have been relatively accurate. They predicted expansion to 3.1 in 2018, and minor shrinkage to 2.9% in 2019. And this is global.

This article is a liberals wet dream.

It appears you lefties are digging that old 1988 story about the USS Vincennes mistakenly shooting down that Iranian airliner as a counter balance to the recent Iranian shoot down of an airliner. That USS Vicennes story appears in virtually every news article about that recent Iranian downing of that Ukrainian airliner.

There is no way, that any honest scientist, with all the variables and various fluid dynamics involved, could seriously make a prediction like that.

:
Why ? Because it says that growth will be the same as the average growth since 2009 ?

Ceffer says

Resentment has all the best attributes of jealousy, inferiority, wanton violent intentions, self centeredness, anarchy, delusion and greed.

What's not to like?

Resentment has led to the worst human behavior in history. "Resentment is not evil". SMFH, we have got to stop telling snowflakes that any impulse they have is valid.

Leftists 1950-2019: If we don't head off Minority Resentment with affirmative action and social programs, our country will be in the throes of Resentment based violence and discord.
Leftists 2019: Resentment is a great and righteous emotion. Affirmative Action and Social Programs aren't enough, we need to put minority needs over the majority and create non-Majority spaces and businesses.

Resentment is for the weak.

Nothing wrong with not being for full blown suicidal diversity. Finally left sees that too.

From YOUR article:
"Though the inquiry has not formally ended and no official notice has been sent to the Justice Department or to Congress, Huber has effectively finished his assignment and found nothing worth pursuing, current and former officials told The Washington Post in a report published Thursday. HuffPost has not been able to independently confirm that the inquiry has ended."

Although Mueller did exonerate Trump.

We need to immediately stop buying coal from Russia.

The debate Trump would have with Bernie is the debate America has been having with "capitalism" vs socialism..

Our system is currently so corrupt the the term "Crony Capitalism" describes it. The interest of government is business and not the people they "represent". I would like to think that some of the people in government are genuine and sincerely want to MAGA but reality points to the continuation of the ponzi scheme we call an economy and the unprosecuted corruption in all levels of government.

I hope Trump is not just another actor on the stage of the political theatre. Ever notice how many actors end up politicians?

Capitalism or socialism? I vote for the one that let's me thrive from the sweat of my brow and the work of my hands not the one that stifles incentive with bureaucracy and impoverishes the masses.

If Bernie is the Nominee, then there's no doubt Trump wins Election.

I think I'll start manufacturing Blue Bernie caps that read: "Make America Venezuela Again!" Should be a sellout in NY and Cali.

Here I can't argue with HEYYOU as I am in full agreement...a sad day indeed.

White army or Red army, comrade?

White army or Red army, comrade?

Don't you mean red or blue? Who ever decided that the dems get to be blue any way?

But I do like red, just not in my cars or motorcycles.

Notice that Trump is the first one to throw them out.

I think willywonka was referring to the Russian 1917 situation, where "white" was the Republic. "red" was the commies.

Let me fix that for you - If Any Current Dem Contender is the Nominee, then there's no doubt Trump wins Election.
