Slim will be gone in November.
Slim and I made a wager that if Trump were to lose he will leave the website.
If Joe loses, I will leave the website.
We'll see how much his word is worth in November.
He just has to extinguish the burning crosses before he leaves.
ignorance.
OK Guys. This will be my final post in this thread.
I think everyone on this thread can do better, myself included. The constant insults and such that is going on here towards anyone that disagrees with the DEM/LEFT crowd is pretty exhausting. Go back and read some of the stuff you guys write. I feel sad for everyone that typed a word here, some obviously more than others.
Some of you are now thinking....don't let the door hit you in the ass. I know. That's ok.
For the rest of you guys, if you want to make some money pop over into the investment threads. I don't have to agree with your political views, but I promise you will have a good chance to score some cash. The conversations over there don't tend to be as nasty and mean as you guys are because everyone is in a good mood from making money.
don't let the door hit you in the ass, dem hater!
obama had the toughest presidency .trump was given a gift from obama.
look what trump did with it
gamble...you are relatively new to this forum. The divide in this forum is as stark as the divide in our country. The vitriol flows both ways. From the Democratic point of view, we don't like the corruption and lies coming out of the WH. From the Republican point of view. you are trying to hold on to the power you had.
We all want the best for the country. We just have different views on how to get there.
National Debt Since Trump Took Office
" At first, it seemed Trump was lowering the debt. It fell $102 billion in
the first six months after Trump took office.19 On January 20th, the day
Trump was inaugurated, the debt was $19.9 trillion. On July 30, it was
$19.8 trillion. But it was not because of anything he did.
Instead, it was because of the federal debt ceiling.
On September 8, 2017, Trump signed a bill increasing the debt ceiling.
Later that day, the debt exceeded $20 trillion for the first time in U.S.
history. On February 9, 2018, Trump signed a bill suspending the debt
ceiling until March 1, 2019.21 It leapt to $22 trillion. In July 2019, Trump
suspended the debt ceiling until after the 2020 presidential election.
The debt soon rose to $23 trillion.
Trump has overseen the fastest increase in the debt of ANY president.
Trump's Fiscal Year 2021 budget projects the debt would increase
$4.8 trillion during his first term. (pre-pandemic!!) That's as much as
Obama added while fighting a massive recession!
Trump has not fulfilled his campaign promise to cut the debt.
Instead, he's done the opposite. "

Experts estimate tens of millions of Americans contracted coronavirus but
are not included in official tallies because of testing errors, misdiagnoses,
a sluggish public health response, and ignorance about the disease during
its early days in the United States.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported Thursday
that there have been about 3.5 million confirmed cases of COVID-19
nationwide and at least 136,000 deaths. The actual number of infections
is likely 10 times the number of reported cases,
CDC Director Robert Redfield said in a news conference.
The nation’s understanding of the pandemic is hampered because
so many victims remain uncounted. Americans who paid a physical
and emotional toll for COVID-19 describe how being excluded from
official statistics exacerbates their isolation, uncertainty, distrust
and fear. And without an accurate count, researchers might draw
flawed conclusions about the virus’ behavior, local leaders might
make poor re-opening decisions, and citizens might underestimate
their own risks.

Of course the self-proclaimed "King of Debt" is not worried. Afterall, it isn't HIS money...

Coronavirus will hit US county budgets
to the tune of $202 billion, association says
From CNN Health’s Maggie Fox
The US’s 3,000 counties expect this year’s coronavirus pandemic to hit their
budgets to the tune of $202 billion, meaning cuts in services, jobs and
infrastructure projects, according to a survey published Tuesday.
Already, 71% of counties have cut or delayed capital investments such as
infrastructure and economic development projects, the US' National Association
of Counties (NACo) said in its report. And 68% reported they have cut services
such as public safety and health services.
“Counties anticipate $202 billion impact to budgets through FY2021,
with widespread economic consequences,” the report reads.
The group said counties employ 328,000 hospital workers, 374,000 law
enforcement officers, 93,000 firefighting staff and 200,000 public health
workers. Jails, airports, 911 call centers, child and domestic protective
services and services for the elderly could all be impacted

TRUMP RANKS DEAD LAST
in survey of Presidential historians & scholars!
Obama ranked 8th !

"How Does Trump Stack Up Against
the Best — and Worst — Presidents?"
We surveyed presidential politics experts to sketch out a first draft of
Trump’s place in presidential history.
Since our previous survey in 2014, some presidential legacies have soared.
Barack Obama’s stock has climbed into the Top 10. (#8)
Republican-only voters ranked Obama #16 out of 44
And President Trump?
Let’s say that, according to the 170 members of the American Political Science
Association’s Presidents and Executive Politics section who filled out our survey,
he has at least three years to improve on an ignominious debut. (#44 of 44)
Trump doesn't get much of a lift from REPUBLICAN-ONLY votes:
even in their eyes, he’s a BOTTOM-5 president!!
Republican experts ranked Trump #40 out of 44.

Perhaps this is a significant reason WHY REPUBLICAN scholars don't give trump much credit, and rank him #40 out of 44 presidents (bottom 4)

US cities stand to lose $1.5 trillion
in economic activity this year !

Cities could lose $1.5 trillion in economic activity in 2020 — and
that's if the coronavirus pandemic is brought under control later
this year, according to a new report from the US Conference of Mayors.
The loss amounts to a drop of 8.8% in economic output!
The average unemployment rate for 2020 is expected to be above 10%
in 161 metro areas, or 42% of the total, according to the report.
"Our budgets have really been hurt, some decimated, by this pandemic,"
said Louisville, Kentucky, Mayor Greg Fischer, the conference's president.
Over the second half of this year, metro economies should continue
to recover some of the losses in jobs and wages from the spring —
-- if the outbreak doesn't continue to surge.
But the recovery will be slow, according to the report.
By the first quarter of next year, metro-level employment will remain
5.2% below that of a year earlier, a loss of 7 million jobs.
trump-virus economic recovery stalling ?
Jobless claims rise
for first time in nearly 4 months
The U.S. jobs market recovery may be stalling.
After steadily declining, the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits
rose last week for the first time in nearly four months.
The latest tally comes as coronavirus cases explode across the country,
pushing authorities to shut down businesses again or pause reopenings.
What's more, some of those workers are being laid off for a second time
as the economy battles a recession and faces weak demand.
The U.S. government has been issuing extra unemployment checks of
$600 a week but that benefit ends next week. If it's not extended by
Congress, it will leave millions of gig workers and self-employed workers
without an income since they don't qualify for regular state unemployment insurance.

New York (CNN Business)
Restaurant reservations are waning.
The rebound in air travel is leveling off.
And foot traffic at stores is dwindling once again.
There is mounting evidence that America's fragile economic recovery is
already stalling as the number of coronavirus infections and deaths spike.
"The premature reopening of the U.S. economy has resulted in an
intensification of the pandemic, which is now causing growth in the
economy to slow," Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM International,
wrote in a note to clients Tuesday.
Economists say there is nothing to debate: The recovery is faltering.
"Activity is now clearly contracting in COVID hot spots, including the
Sun Belt and the West," Aneta Markowska, chief economist at Jefferies,
wrote in a report on Monday.
That is hardly surprising, given that 22 states have either reversed or
paused their reopening due to health concerns.
Recovery hopes overdone?
This doesn't mean the US economy will keep shrinking in the third quarter.
Economists are still betting GDP will turn sharply positive after having
collapsed by an estimated 34% during the second quarter. But now they
worry that the forecasts for blockbuster growth may be overly optimistic.
