you’re the easter bunny clinger, because you’re the one denying irrefutable facts when it makes you feel better. before this virus which was no one’s fault, the economy was soaring by every conceivable measure, the jihadists were weakened. there was peace and prosperity. I wouldn’t want him dating my mom any more than you’d want him dating yours. but he did some great things. and despite being a jerk, there’s very little evidence he turned our allies against us.

you deny the obvious facts and cling to fantasy instead. you’re the one who still
slices up carrots and puts them on your stoop the night before easter. we are responding to what has actually happened. you are responding to what you wish took place .

OMG Jim going back to his economy card, that’s not predictable much haha. First Trump inherited a really strong and expanding economy and yes he took moves to not kill it and guess who’s backs paid for that then and are paying for it big time now. His rich buddies and corporations made out like bandits and are probably more easily and fruitfully getting bailed out now. Your version of great things doesn’t match mine and since I’ve yet to see a civil debate on this forum before it goes to childish insults and stupid arguments, I will leave it at that.

so when you say he hasn’t done
anything, it’s invalid for
me to point out his accomplishments. makes sense.

i’m sorry you can’t handle it, but he hit a home run with the economy until we chose to shut it down. i think thearket is still
higher than when he took office (is that right?), so the market likes what the feds are doing in response,,god knows how we pay for it.

what’s predictable, is you me striating that he didn’t do any good. you can’t be honest. he’s a world class jerk who gets an A- on the economy.

Didn’t say he did nothing, but much of what he has done profits the upper crust, big corporations and total disregard for our allies and our environment.

obama
also helped the economy, and the wealthy benefitted the most.

earth to you...when the economy rises, the wealthy will
always benefit more, because they have more invested. there is no way to stop that. and no reason to want to, because the wealthy pay taxes and create jobs and donate huge $$ to charity. CT and NY are finding out currently, what happens when you drive away the wealthy. it’s a disaster.

please point out an economic boom in the last 100 years that didn’t help the wealthy more than the little guy.

when the wealthy get wealthier, that doesn’t mean they took anything from us. god, the liberal whining about the wealthy....if you want to be wealthy, do what they did, it’s a free country.

Well the counter question would be is the system wrong, when the rich continue to get richer and those in the middle or the pour bastards changing the sheets in their hotels, cutting their grass and watching their kids barely make a living wage?

it’s not the system, it’s just math. what would you do? make it illegal to keep working or investing after one attains a certain net worth? you’d support that? think, man. Nobody is better off if the wealthy didn’t exist.

if you say we need to improve our safety net for those at the bottom, i agree. but there’s no way to keep the rich from getting richer in a booming economy. Basic arithmetic guarantees that will happen. for sure its not trumps fault. there’s no conceivable way to stop it, and no conceivable reason to try.

Hey Jim, you just don't get how unfairly good things are distributed in this journey we call life. I mean, how fair is it that exercise and a good diet benefits those who work on being healthy more than those who just assume that all will be well until it isn't.
