I have no clue why people wouldn't be happy. The economy is soaring, going through the roof. Freedom and individual rights are at an all time high. If you have a 401k you've literally made thousands since Trump took over.

You, clueless, say it ain't so.

The economy has been falsely inflated which will most likely be followed by an inevitable collapse.

If you consider lying under oath and obfuscating justice as something certain people are free to do.

If you're not living paycheck to paycheck, which as of last year 4 out of 5 Americans were, perhaps you've made money. But, it's mostly people that already have enough money.

Which as of last year 4 out of 5? Do you have the stats to back that up or? I want the source and study.

The economy is at an all time high, unemployment is at record lows. Everything is booming. If it's NOT booming for you (not saying you specifically) then it's up to you to create your own wealth because nobody is going to help you. You've got to take the advantage and initiative. Those who fail to have that type of mindset will always blame others for their hard luck. That's why there's two camps of people, always will be.

Here are the 2 I saw earlier, but trying to link things from a phone is kind of a pain:
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/01/09/shut...o-paycheck.html

https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedma...t-shutdown/amp/

Our economy is good for those at the top. Not so good for those at the bottom. The 2 are tied together.

People can claim capitalism is not a zero sum , and in theory, they are correct. In practice, you get rich by taking advantage of an inequality. A business owner pays employees less money than the value they provide. A pharmaceutical company charges $1000 dollars for something that costs $75 to produce. The stock market isn't tied directly to anything concrete, it's a massive web of speculation that can be, and is, manipulated. Plus, for such a great economy the government still manages to consistently run at a deficit. Individuals also have massive amounts of debt. (link)

Don't get me started on fractional reserve banking. Our economy only survives on figurative sleight of hand, shell games, and Ponzi schemes. That and the blind belief of the uneducated masses, and/or the highly educated and unscrupulous few that know how to fix the games.

Which is why it is so volatile and can react to speculation and events like Coronavirus... But then you have Da Menzas who question the concept that the market is or could be over valued ... personally I think it's going to continue to climb - but there is an big down coming, it is as inevitable as the sun rising.

As for 4/5 living paycheck to paycheck? At face value that estimate seems high but it could be the definition of "paycheck to paycheck". Is that measuring savings? 401K? Is it subjective by the person polled? I would have anticipated a number of 50-60% living paycheck to paycheck . . . . I had read this week where 20% of Americans did not have enough money month to month to cover essentials of food and housing. Searching for some reference I saw the following that says 39% of Americans struggle to pay for either food, housing, healthcare, utilities at some point each year.

If the economy is doing so well why are public schools and teachers still underfunded?

If public schools and teachers are underfunded, why is that the federal governments fault?

And there's plenty of pictures on the internet that show you plenty of skin of her since you seem so interested.

I would give you the links to them but they're pretty borderline. They might get me banned. But you can google search "Melania semi nude photos" to see her in all of her "hotness".

So a woman who was blessed with beauty and chooses to make her living through modelling, which may include nude or near-nude photos has no class?

Oh, and the shot at Michelle was uncalled for (by him)... Michelle is not a bad looking lady and comparing her the a football linebacker reeks of racism.

Kinda a bad take

You realize women have posed nude for photos for hundreds of years, right?

Are you calling world famous and historic paintings and sculptures classless, because they are simply nude?

For all who didn't understand my context because I certainly didn't explain it well.

The Super Bowl halftime backlash says more about the complainers than the performers

https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2020/2/5/21...-jennifer-lopez

My point was the hypocrisy shown more than anything. Melania gets zero comments on the right for her actions while there was some faux moral outrage over the Super bowl halftime show.

The lines about "class" were a mockery of how Republicans used to act when the shoe was on the other foot. But now that paying off playboy bunnies and porn stars seem to be "blessed" by all of you I fully understand how your position has changed.

That's what Stormy Daniels said when she was cashing Trump's checks.

Ok, but ill be real with you. This really isn't a Republican or Dem thing. This was mainly a younger/older person thing along with male/female sort of thing.

You see, ALOT of women who complained about it - didn't say a thing about Adam Levine being half naked last year.

I know a lot of Republicans under 40 that had NO PROBLEM with what the performance they put on - and in fact, would rather they showed a little more. thumbsup

I also know a lot of older dems that were pretty mad about what they allowed to air on TV as well.

I think your casting to far a L vs R net on this, instead of looking at it as with a generational and man/women visor.

The SB was also my wifes Bday - she turned 32. I looked over at halftime and said "J.Lo 50, how old did you just turn?"

I just starting to get feeling in my legs back.

I understand we all have our "personal experiences", but you may wish to look a little deeper......

Dear Franklin Graham and Conservative Christians, you don’t get to be outraged by the Halftime Show

“I don’t expect the world to act like the church, but our country has had a sense of moral decency on prime time TV in order to protect children. We see that disappearing before our eyes. It was demonstrated in tonight‘s Halftime Show—w/millions of kids watching. This exhibition was Pepsi showing young girls that sexual exploitation of women is okay. With the exploitation of women on the rise worldwide, instead of lowering the standard, we as a society should be raising it. I’m disappointed in Pepsi and the NFL.”

-Franklin Graham on Twitter

That's just a taste of it.

I would consider the "evangelicals" as a subsect of the right, much like that of the OCD's of the left smile The majority of evangelicals reside on the right yes, but there a lot of them on the left as well that would say this.

Wasn't there just a video of a women trying to take her vote for Mayor Pete back because she found out he was gay when she handed it in Iowa recently? The video is how she thinks god wouldn't like him or something like that. I only caught a portion of it so I dont know the exact comments, but that's pretty much the jist of it. Pretty sure if she was voting for Pete she was a democrat, no?

Like I said, ive seen about the same amount of outrage from both sides of the political fence -

So they didn’t ask.

Again who said the federal gov’t was responsible?

You must not be paying attention. What he's said in the past on just about everything has nothing to do with what he might say now.
