The last time Leftists changed a major congressional rule, it was to firmly sit Republicans in their place, and stop them from obstructing the seating of obama's cabinet of czars as well as his picks for the Supreme Court.
Now they bitterly regret changing that rule, as Trump can seat anyone he likes with a simple majority, which the Republicans have. They have put themselves out in the cold.

Seems like I should not have left China.

Yep, you can't object to any political tactic there! Pesky reformers are jailed and shot promptly! You best hurry back.

The LAST thing democrats wAnt is an examination into who voted in California. If the truth came out, people would demand IDs at the polling stations and the state might go red!

Oooo... I pissed off a liberal enough to spoof my account!

Interesting to see what he does to the Fed. He may have to live in a tank, or a rocket hanger for safety.

Ha I was wondering if you hit your head and got transformed into a brain damaged leftie?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump needs to use eminent domain to publicize Goldman Sachs, then divide the shares up with all citizens.
Then we can flood the government with GS expats and finally have representation...

If everyone rallied around Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders

---------------

Are you dumber than fuck, or just dishonest as all hell?

The two are opposing forces, as Warren rallied around Clinton and told Sanders to beat it.

Given recent predictive history can we choose both?

If you're getting the flak, you're over the target.

Whenever I post charts about unemployment and jobs created the pundits are growing the labor force chart back. That is all demographics thrown into one pot and it's one long dropping chart.

How do you combat that to a person seemingly willing to ignore all other statistics?

Look how I do it on facebook live

Also trap debate people with their serious terrible economic logic. Irony now is that with the Republicans now in power ... a lot these Anti American website, trolls and useless economic people

Either have to change their tune or not care about the last 8 years on the things they complained about the most

SubOink says

willing to ignore all other statistics?

Really want to explain the data in a way where it makes their original thesis sound silly

Trap tactic I like to use is this

Label Anti American

Then they push that stupid 95 million Americans out of a job thesis out

Start with this

Great Recession lost 8.8 million Jobs

Post 2010 We gained 15.6 Million

Where did we lose 95 Million Americans from 2008-2010

Then the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc etc answers to that first question ... basically destroys everything the Anti American bears believe..

What I have done over the last few years is collect a bunch of crazy economic theories and keep them until the next recession and then collect a 2nd waive of horrible economic theories during the recession and the recovery call them out a again and then write a Book

The Rise Of the Anti American Trolls and the Data Miners who fought

Material I have is priceless so far.. some from this site... but have to wait want to get them all in the next recession recovery cycle

Like the charts here drive the Anti American bears nuts

"U.S. Job Market Nearing Full Employment" just wrote this on Friday... automatic click from Shadow Stat believers, most pushing gold and silver websites

Lol - thanks Logan...

We did not.

Strategist says

We did not.

Then the 2nd - 7th dialog goes into prime age labor force numbers....

Which currently now is 2.4 million missing

Then the fall down the Alice .. cough cough Zerohedge rabbit hole.. and it gets worse and worse as the conversation continues

Some just leave and never come back, some ( which I give credit too) acknowlege that they just didn't know the data and then the rest are just Anti American bears ...

So I have fun with them now being a Republican

Stop lying or else Trump will hunt you down on twitter

#Trump vs #ZeroHedge and #Goldbugs

Going to be hilarious to watch

my debates are mostly with people who deny that we have had any recovery - republicans that hated Obama from the beginning and are basically saying it couldn't have been worse - he wrecked the economy but thank god now we have trump and its all gonna be great. I could care less of a political side but numbers are numbers...and even though the statistics that people llike yourself post seem quite easy to understand it always comes back to the labor force participation - the worst labor participation in 30 years yadda yadda, full-time is now 30hrs, unemployment count is rigged, ...

I have kind of given up...

But on another note - whats your take on wealth gap?

SubOink says

whats your take on wealth gap?

What country has 25 Trillion now in housing and in Pension plans

Money velocity is terrible but this gap isn't as bad as people ( the hard left) make it out to be...

Right

I saw a quote from a book "millionaire next door" the other day. It was published in 1996, 3.5% owned half the wealth...isn't that number 1% now? Is that no concern for you when apparently a smaller and smaller number of people control more share of the entire wealth? Just throwing that out there because I am curious what your thoughts are.

SubOink says

Velocity of wealth distribution isn't good ...

But the middle class is rising and soon a massive older work force will either be dead or leave the work force all together giving the rise the big labor force coming on line

and as long as this moves forward

I am not worried about the 70/30 ratio ... because the U.S. middle class consumption model and education is the best the world has ever seen... as long as inflation is low... the U.S. is going to smoke the world out badly too

What other country has 25 Trillion dollars in their pension plans

A lot wage numbers hide the facts of benefits and 401K contribution

The data is being looked at in a wrong manner

My biggest fear... massive aging work force and yes they will always have S.S. but how much does their needs being taken care off take away from their children consumption model

Bigger concern is Europe, China and Japan ....

There is no death wall economic thesis out there because inflation has been contained

Climate Change is always the X factor is any future variable that can't be accounted for

Still in any case, the U.S. wins on all fronts

Logan Mohtashami says

Instead of gloating about the value of assets, you should meditate on how the value of homes is based on competition for increasingly rare available units, whereas the job market is based on competition for an increasingly fragile and low income. It's diverging that way.

As for pensions, their only value is the time the working age population can afford to dedicate to the support of old people.

Heraclitusstudent says

competition for increasingly rare available units,

home sales are at cycle highs with inventory at cycle lows, supply is there...

Affordable housing is another subject all together for a different debate.. I wish I had the video of the conference with all the government housing people where I could show you what they said about this

The CAR ( California Association Of Realtors) asked me to speak about Trump Economics at a conference late January .. if housing affordability comes up I will for sure bring that discussion here

If housing prices go up faster than wages, do you expect the housing situation to improve?

Heraclitusstudent says

If housing prices go up faster than wages, do you expect the housing situation to improve?

Prices are up slight compared to Disposable Incomes

Logan Mohtashami says

Prices are up slight compared to Disposable Incomes

An improving situation?

What about "capita disposable income of people who don't have a house"?

Heraclitusstudent says

What about "capita disposable income of people who don't have a house"?

big difference between owners and renter incomes

A lot low educated low skilled Americans are 2nd wage earners

Logan Mohtashami says

Love it.
This is proof wages have been increasing, not declining as some on Patnet insinuate.
Quit complaining.

nice charts!

saw this this morning - https://aeon.co/essays/what-if-jobs-are-not-the-solution-but-the-problem

Market is overvalued.

Be patient! Stay invested if you want.

But no new money should enter the market now.

Hoard cash and wait for your oportuninty. It will come.

Ironworker says

Be patient! Stay invested if you want.

But no new money should enter the market now.

Invest every month, ignore economic cycles, recessions are gift from the gods, slow and steady wins the race.

The real issue is creating a financial back drop to where you could add $ in every month ... forced savings from homes and stocks

Whistle!!

Ok there was a ton about video games which I didn't find super relevant, but all the references to the death of reason, murdered by a SJW with "feelings" and a quest for the perfect safe space was close. IMHO there's also a component on immigration, fear of radical Islamist being brought in by elitists, and collusion of all media to cover the fact that politics hasn't been for the people in decades.

We were helplessly fucked in the ass until Trump came down the escalator on June 16th 2015.
I'll never forget that date, that was America's ReIndependence day.

Democracy now, still doesn't think June 16 was significant. They report that the most significant news worthy event on that day.
Was Presidential hopeful Jeb Bush was inconvenienced by activists.

the activist was probably this Idiot.

Rachel Dolezal Resigns as Head of Spokane NAACP, Appears on Today Show.

You Liberals were so miserably ill informed from the very get go, right out of the gate. Stop second guessing and start reading why Ya'll failed.
The evidence is not on Huffingtonpost or on CNN.

So the alt-right started to defend video games?
