DAMN, just like climate change deniers. We were WARNED by even 50 REPUBLICAN former Intel agents, LAST YEAR, what his presidency could do.
2 years is not 4 years, 4 years is not 8 years. THE BUSH CRASH did not happen overnight. THAT is what his supporters keep missing. The GOP excels at throwing just enough bait the party supporters focus on the shiny object, which is really just the same as the BULLSHIT "gold" painted tin coin scams they sell on TV.
Low unemployment DOES NOT MEAN SHIT if it is more part time, and STILL does not meet the cost of living. It only means MORE PROFIT for shareholders.
That's your take. But what do people who don't capitalize entire words in the middle of sentences think? The mystery is not your perspective or Alpha's perspective. It's the people who actually considered who to vote for on election day.

Must be nice to get a tailwind from your predecessor's economy, eh?
Uh huh. That's what the losers always say. Even if that were true it wouldn't explain why it took 8 years to take effect or why during that time people were repeatedly told they should get used to the "new normal" of anemic growth.

Question. Would you all be happier with a higher unemployment rate?
Question. Is it a bad thing for the economy to have business investment increasing dramatically?
Question. Do you benefit from an improved business investment within the borders of the USA?
Question. How many of you will pay more income taxes? For me, my income tax liability will go down next year.
Can someone explain why can't I give a negative rep please?

Your friend was mistaken. The credit goes to the Community Reinvestment Act. You can look up for yourself who the main proponents of making it easier for unprepared borrowers to get mortgages were. You might also want investigate which Chicago community organizer sued banks to ease their lending requirements.

That's why Trump won the primary and why his supporters are solidly behind him. The GOP has been lying to and betraying its base for years.

...............Yeah...and you'd think that might be a problem for the GOP base, but...as you so succinctly put it, it;s still solidly behind the people who've been lying to them even though it's been betraying them...and one assumes that this probably has a little bit to do with all the lying.
It's either that or they're just naturally self destructive morons. 50/50?
The same is, ofc, true of the dems and their base. Was this a legitimate moment of self awareness for you, or did you intend for that to be taken as "well, the base believes and supports them so they can't be liars - DERP!"?
The GOP is a bunch of -socially- conservative tax and spend liberals. Sometimes, they even get so "fiscally responsible" that they're just spend and spend liberals. Because what kind of sucker pays his bills, amiright?

No Trump won because Republicans are shit at picking leaders
Once again alpha and the Trump fanboys trying to credit" their dear leader " with something he had fuck all to do with . and if the Dems won would likely still have happened . Which Trumps foolish tax plan.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Meanwhile in the rest of the world... Moving on, hoping the dumb fucks don't start bombing at random.
Shit, the cold war was based on the soviets bombing the civilized world. From where I am standing, not so sure it doesn0t end the other way around.
Word of notice: leave no survivours.

Ever seen Iron Sky? The part where the north korean delegate "admits" that the dear leader personally designed the fleet of orbital superweapons steaming towards the earth?
"Sit down North Korea."
