Consumer confidence hits 13-year high

[Brian37]

Holy fucking shit...... FEELINGS do not prevent future bubbles, LAWS DO.

Because of Bush's bullshit we ended up with a triple crash car/housing/bank. 

I could give one fuck less how we feel, what matters isn't short term feelings, but long term LAWs that prevent recessions and depressions. 

FYI IDIOT, our recovery started long before 45 took office. 

Consumers feel? Yea and humans also once as a majority thought the earth was flat.

You certainly can feel good getting drunk too, but if you constantly drive drunk, eventually you will get a DWI or kill yourself or someone else.

I'm sorry Brian, but is all that hostility really necessary? If it had been someone who doesn't support trump, posting this article, would you honestly jump their shit like you did AM? 

Really - this has got to stop with you. It's getting quite unnecessary and you attacking people merely for posting what they think is newsworthy is just getting out of hand. 

It's fine to disagree with someone, but attacking them when all they did was post an article, is crossing a line.

Um no, sorry.

Would you like me to, and for the BILLIONTH time, run over the list of MULTIPLE groups and scapegoating 45 has employed to gain power?

DO NOT expect me to apologize for condemning 45. 

1. Spent 5 years perpetuating "fear the black secret Muslim."

2. Started his campaign by calling Mexicans rapists.

3. Insulted the MILITARY service of McCain and Khan.

5. Shit on 17 intel agencies whom all said Russia WAS interfering.

6. Called for a ban on an entire religion, but who gives a shit about the First Amendment.

7. Attacked sitting judges with no hint of impropriety.

8. Implied threats to political rivals.

9. And IS STILL attacking the free press and STILL attacking service even McCain.

10. Has an ANTI LGBT vice president and lied during his run claiming he would protect LGBT.

11. Attacked peaceful protesters while defending bigoted racist protesters. 

12. Called black NFL players "sons of bitches" 

No...... sorry, do not expect me to play nice with my words with that asshole holding public office. America has already fought to end slavery, and fought for women's right to vote, and ended segregation. We already fought Jim Crow laws, and McCarthyism and we fought white nationalist fascists in WW2 Germany.

I cant have others arrested for supporting 45, but if they do, they will get no sympathy from me knowing he is using his office to divide and scapegoat and shit on the very institutions that are supposed to protect the concepts of pluralism and separations of power.

45 is treating the office like his personal Jerry Springer show out of nothing more than spite and to silence any criticism of his position. He is NOT talking like a western leader, he is behaving like a despot.

I cannot tell you  how to address his supporters but no, I will NOT back down.

AND

I am 51 years old. I am old enough to remember the START of the GOP assault on the middle class when Reagan started Union busting and the age of deregulation and "don't tax the rich". THAT is bad enough, but now on top of corporate protectionism, we have a bigoted childish bully who wants to poor gas on that fire.
