BREAKING NEWS: @DevinNunes stepping aside from Russia investigation.

Rush says Ryan behind this...

Maybe Ryan does not want the truth to come out.

[Sanguine]

Look at the employment stats.  The results are there, you just do not want to see.

@Right_in_Virginia  has a more unabridged list of Trump accomplishments.

"more unabridged"?   You haven't given an abridged list at all yet. 

Unemployment rate - this one?

Understood - you will defend Trump regardless of the facts.  I insist on measurable results.  We've reached an impasse.

If Rush is constipated in the morning, Ryn is behind it.

The act is getting stale isn't it.

Your data is stale.  Also, have a look at today's initial claims-- the no drug use legislation must be working.

You seem to be in a more sour mood than normal.

Rule one of being a pundit - have an adversary.

Still, it is getting boringly predictable.

Come on man. These policies don't effect squat overnight. It took Reagan's policies damn near 4 years to take a measurable effect.

@LonestarDream @Sanguine

That's an impressive list, @Right_in_Virginia.  I don't agree with some of it, but I appreciate your diligence.  Tends to put a somewhat better light on Trump's first 2 1/2 months in office. 

[LonestarDream]

There is an anticipation factor, but yes it will take longer for the totality of the policies to be felt.

[Free Vulcan]

With Nunes stepping back, it's imperative for the committee to step up and deliver to avoid giving the Dems a win here. If they do, Nunes stepping back due to ethics charges will be forgotten.

Understood - you will defend Trump regardless of the facts.  I insist on measurable results.  We've reached an impasse.

So,  you are using Obama's lies and phoney numbers in an effort to prove something? 


Obama's numbers are utter crap.   They are made up,   phoney baloney plastic banana nonsense. 


Obama is a liar who manipulated numbers to make it appear as if he wasn't a complete fool,   and only complete fools will believe any numbers which came out of his government.

You missed the point.  I was responding to a specific question with the term that that poster used. 

[DiogenesLamp]

Yes, the democrats are damned good at it.

Not so much.   If the Democrat party did not own a trillion dollar broadcast infrastructure,   they would be unable to make a dent in politics.   

[Sanguine]

...which is part of politics.

Just curious - if someone else had made the comment would you have immediately disagreed with it?

[DiogenesLamp]

You missed the point.  I was responding to a specific question with the term that that poster used.

Perhaps I did.   I just have a visceral reaction to any of Obama's phoney baloney fake economic numbers which he manipulated into existence by changing the parameters of the equations used to calculate them. 


I have long said that the first thing the next President needs to do is to order staff to correct all of Obama's fake numbers so that greasy incompetent bastard gets labeled in history as the disaster that he was. 

[DiogenesLamp]

...which is part of politics.

It is part of ceding the high ground in a war,  which is what our side has been doing for the last sixty years.    I keep trying to wake people up to the fact that the media is a propaganda system for liberal policies and office holders. 

Just curious - if someone else had made the comment would you have immediately disagreed with it?

Since I don't really remember who you are in any meaningful context,  I can safely assure you that I would have jumped on anyone that used Obama numbers to argue a point.    Obama fake numbers is one of my pet peeves.   

[Emjay]

Sorry, that no longer works.  DJT is now the president.  He was elected based on some things he said he would do (in addition to NOT being Hillary).   It's time for him to start producing.  And, I'm hoping he does.  I would love to see it happen.

It's still working for me.  It's a really, really good thing and makes me happy when I think about it.

I am going to give Trump a few months before I diss him and he's done quite a few things I like so far.

If he can get Obamacare repealed, I'll give him an A minus.  The minus is for the tweets.

I give him a plus for the tweets.  The wire tapping tweet saved him -Nunes did help after that.

Expect more tweets on the wire tapping , since without Nunes, Congress is likely to go squishy.

Of course they're fake numbers!  So, to use them in an attempt to show how "successful" Trump is, is equally greasy!

[DiogenesLamp]

Not necessarily.   Even if they are computing with the bogus equations,  it should still show a relative movement. 


It may not be statically accurate,   but it is likely going to show some correct dynamic activity.   


Even with the bad equations which have been misstating the level of unemployment,  it should still show some downward motion if unemployment is going down.   

[LonestarDream]

Exactly.  The evidence of the relative improvement is starting to come in.

Of course, Yellen is going to tighten like crazy.

Yeah,  I noticed that after 8 years of virtually zero interest rates intended to prop up the economic stupidity of Barack the idiot,   she has suddenly started making noises about raising interest rates. 


Here is news for you Yellin.   Inflation under the era of Barack O'dumbo  was 100%.    Virtually everything now costs twice what it did back in 2008.
