From the idiot that produces a daily dozen deranged threads filled with whine.

Santa forget your reparations?
Sad little bitch.

I don't whine. But you sure do.

You are the biggest crybaby here.

Nah. You're just a little boy who can't take the truth.

Get help for your white fragility

Nah.

You not getting help for your problem is on you.

No problem to deal with.

It's the thread creator who has issues.

 

[sparky]

Because all the greatness and prosperity you think is coming if you re elect him is not.

1. We finally agree on one of your posts, at least the first half. Trump and the GOP always say tax cuts lead to an economic boom, but that assumption always grows the Debt, so the economic growth doesn't cover the Budget Deficit.

Trump's Reganista moves should be relevant to anyone who lived Reagan's terms

Two potus's who inherited a good economy , legislated substantial debt increases, tax cuts for the rich .....and patted themselves on the back for the prosperity THEY created

Amid Trump Tariffs, Farm Bankruptcies And Suicides Rise
Aug 30, 2019

Farmers are pretty much under stress all the time since many factors that affect their livelihood are outside of their control. However, over the past few years the combination of lower prices, rain that has created havoc with their ability to plant and finally China freezing the imports of U.S. grown crops due to President Trump’s tariffs has unfortunately created almost the perfect storm against them.

Corn and soybeans are the largest cash crops grown in the U.S. per NASS, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. In 2018 the value of corn was $51.5 billion, with soybeans second at $39 billion. The next largest crop was hay, a distant third at $17 billion. For comparison the value of apples grown in the U.S. was about $4 billion and oranges was $2 billion.

After China made its announcement that it would stop importing U.S. agricultural products American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall said, “China’s announcement that it will not buy any agricultural products from the United States is a body blow to thousands of farmers and ranchers who are already struggling to get by.”

He added, “In the last 18 months alone, farm and ranch families have dealt with plunging commodity prices, awful weather and tariffs higher than we have seen in decades. Farm Bureau economists tell us exports to China were down by $1.3 billion during the first half of the year.”

Duvall pointed out, “Now, we stand to lose all of what was a $9.1 billion market in 2018, which was down sharply from the $19.5 billion U.S. farmers exported to China in 2017.”

The American Farm Bureau Federation, also known as the Farm Bureau, published a report in July that dove into farm loan delinquencies and bankruptcies based on Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and U.S. court data.

The information showed that, “the delinquency rates for commercial agricultural loans in both the real estate and non-real estate lending sectors are at a six-year high and … were above the historical average of 2.1%.”

The Farm Bureau report showed that farmer bankruptcies had risen in every region of the U.S. for the year ending in June except for the Southwest. Wisconsin, Kansas and Minnesota led the nation in Chapter 12 filings; bankruptcy filings in Kansas and Minnesota increased so significantly in the past year that they reached the highest levels of the past decade

A Newsweek article in May detailed a Fox News interview with Patty Edelburg, vice president of the Washington-based National Farmers Union, which represents about 200,000 U.S. farms. In the interview she said, "It has been insane. We've had a lot of farmers—a lot more bankruptcies going on, a lot more farmer suicides. These things are highlighting many of the news stories in our local news."

In a CNN interview in May, Minnesota soybean farmer Bill Gordon said, “With these added tariffs farmers are not getting their credit lines renewed, banks are coming in and foreclosing on their farms, taking their family living away and it's too much for some of them. We have seen a definite increase in the suicide rate and depression in farmers in the U.S., especially in the Upper Midwest.”

Amid Trump Tariffs, Farm Bankruptcies And Suicides Rise

This Is America Eleven years after Obama’s election, and three years into the Trump presidency, the threat of domestic terrorism can’t be ignored.
Dec. 19, 2019

When Dylann Storm Roof walked into the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, he joined the Bible-study class before gunning down nine African-Americans as they prayed.

Roof still communicates with his admirers on the outside. In jail, he began exchanging letters with a man in Arkansas named Billy Roper. A former schoolteacher and the son and grandson of Klansmen, Roper leads the Shield Wall Network, a group of several dozen white nationalists who organize rallies and conferences — often collaborating with neighboring hate groups — with the goal of building a white ethno-state. “I have a lot of empathy for him. I’m 47, and he’s young enough to be my son,” Roper said of Roof when interviewed recently for this project. “These millennials and now, I guess, Gen-Zers that are coming up, they are not stupid about the demographic trends and what they portend for the future. That angst, that anxiety that plagues them, drives them to do rash things — whether it’s that rash or not — I can empathize with.” I would humbly suggest we believe that Roper is being sincere, and that he speaks for many.

Roper and Roof are only two of those affiliated with the 148 white-nationalist hate groups in this country. Though it is impossible to calculate their exact membership numbers (as individual groups either conceal or inflate them), their violence is indisputable. White supremacists were responsible for the deaths of at least 39 people in 2018 alone. And the activity has not slowed this year: not in January, as neo-Nazis plastered flyers outside newspaper offices and homes in Washington State and the Carolinas and an army veteran pleaded guilty to killing a black man in New York to “ignite a racial war”; in February, as Vermont synagogues and LGBT centers were vandalized and a self-described white-nationalist Coast Guard lieutenant was arrested for plotting a domestic terror attack; in March, as WELCOME TO GERMANY and GAS THE JEWS were spray-painted outside Oklahoma City Democratic Party and Chickasaw Nation offices and, on the Upper East Side, classmates handed their school’s only black ninth-grader a note reading “n—–s don’t have rights”; in April, as a shooting at a synagogue left one dead and three injured and FBI Director Christopher Wray called white supremacy a “persistent, pervasive” threat to the country; in May, as swastikas fell from the sky — on flyers dropped by drones outside an Ariana Grande concert — and were scrawled on public spaces in at least three states; in June, as far-right groups rallied in Portland, Oregon, for the first time that summer; in July, as a man promoted a white-power manifesto on Instagram before killing three and wounding 17 others at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California; in August, as another angry young man — this one 1,000 miles away in El Paso, Texas — posted an anti-immigrant manifesto online then committed this year’s most deadly mass shooting, killing 22 and injuring 24 at a Walmart; in September, as the Department of Homeland Security added white-supremacist extremism to its list of priority threats, the same month a swastika appeared on its walls; in October, as swastikas also appeared on Cape Cod and invitations to a white-supremacist gathering were mailed to Maine residents; in November, as a white-supremacist group filmed a video outside Mississippi’s Emmett Till Memorial; nor this month, as students flashed possible white-power signs at an Army-Navy football game.

Vladimir Putin helped convince Trump to sour on Ukraine: report
October 21, 2019

Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin successfully convinced President Donald Trump to turn on Ukraine according to a bombshell new report published by The Washington Post on Monday.

“President Trump’s effort to pressure Ukraine for information he could use against political rivals came as he was being urged to adopt a hostile view of that country by its regional adversaries, including Russian President Vladimir Putin,” the newspaper reported, citing “current and former U.S. officials.”

Vladimir Putin helped convince Trump to sour on Ukraine: report

North Korea's threat of 'Christmas gift' puts US, South Korea on high alert
Officials are on alert this week for a potential long-range missile test.
‎December‎ ‎24‎, ‎2019‎ ‎

After months of stalled nuclear negotiations and ratcheting up rhetoric, North Korea has promised to deliver a "Christmas gift" to the U.S. -- a warning that has American and South Korean officials on high alert this week for a potential long-range missile test.

If so, it would be the first long-range missile test in over two years, which is not only another flagrant violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions on Pyongyang, but also a breach of Kim Jong Un's personal pledge to President Donald Trump not to test such weapons.

Trump downplays concerns of North Korea's 'Christmas gift': Maybe it's 'a beautiful vase'

trump has failed at every level. Talking about a reduction of 1.2 percent unemployment when unemployment was falling when trump took office or jobs created when more jobs were being created for 7 years before trump took office just doesn't cut it.

America is not doing better because of trump.

The greatest economy weve ever seen, lowest unemployment in over 70 years. Yeah, were doing horrible.

We're in all-new fiscal territory now: Hyper-Keynesianism.

Trump is now to the Left of liberal fiscal icon Keynes himself, and the Trumpsters celebrate it.

I don't know if I'd use the term "chaos". I can't think of one word for it.

[Bruce_T_Laney]

TDS does not sleep even on Christmas. Back to the old chaos narrative.

We really elected the right guy for the enemies of America to be this obsessed.

But more of us didn't elect him.

And yet more States voted for Trump...

See how that works?

No?

Of course not because you believe the National Vote should override the Electoral College because then you can only have to focus on key States like Progressive Paradise Kalifornia...

 

[VanceMack]

See? More proof that you arent 'black'...you are just another blind deranged partisan leftist reduced to an existence of parroting leftist talking points.

Choas...that describes the leftists that began their plaintiff wail of NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! on 9 Nov 2016 and have kept it up non stop. Chaos has been caused by rat party politicians and their mindless supporters vowing to oppose and impeach, 3 months before the inauguration of a duly elected president. Of course, it would look lik chaos if people like your self...good little partisans...spent your entire existence trying to find ways to light or oppose...even the positive measures that help the country. Chaos could define an entire rat party leadership that has completely altered their positions that they took during the Obama administration. And yes...those tariffs...they are going to sting a litte. It is painful fixing decades of ill trade practice. Its sort of like what happened when the GOP ended the rat party slavery program. That too was painful...but worth the fight.

Judge orders 234,000 purged from Wisconsin voter rolls
12/14/2019

An Wisconsin judge on Friday ordered the state to remove hundreds of thousands of people from Wisconsin's voter rolls because they may have moved.

The case is being closely watched because of the state's critical role in next year's presidential race. Ozaukee County Judge Paul Malloy also denied the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin's petition to intervene.

Lawyers for the League and for the Wisconsin Elections Commission indicated they will appeal and asked Malloy to stay his ruling pending those appeals, but he declined.

You motherfuckers aren't worried about fair. And you don't give a flying fuck about the law. You don't care how you get it done, republicans are going to make sure trump gets a second term.

Why do never-Trumpers hate tariffs so much if it is "a tax on the American people?" I thought the left loved taxes. In reality, tariffs are targeted taxes on importers(corporations) who can and do pass along the tax to consumers of those imports. It seems as though Democrats are all to quick to point this out regarding tariffs, but at the same time are all about raising taxes on corporations and citizens across the board. When corporate(and individual) taxes are raised across the board and not targeted for a specific purpose, as they are now, inflation will rise, demand will decrease, supply will decrease, GDP will decrease and well, you get the picture. The tariffs have not increased our inflation. Granted, we have had to bail out some farmers, but the bailouts have been far less than the money taken in and it has had very little negative effect on our economy. The potential gain, a better trade deal with China, has an enormous upside, while our pain is very minimal.

It appears to me that if one of the wacka-doos on the left gets elected, they will give in to China, giving them even more leeway to cheat us and steal our intellectual property and raise corporate and personal taxes across the board to pay for their litany of Socialists programs. There can't be a person with a shred of common sense who thinks that will actually help the US, economically speaking.

I am not trying to take rights from anyone. You are. That's what white racism is all about.

That's what is not welcome.

So if you want to live in a white country, go to Europe.

yeah, OK

Thanks for giving me more than 50 reasons to put your foul @ss on ignore

I wish people would realize Trump is not and has never been a Fiscal or Social Conservative!

This notion that Trump would be for free trade, anti-government subsidies or so on is ludicrous.

Trump is down the lines of Nixon in many ways and that should scare the panties off us but alas most were not alive when Tricky Dick was in office...

And the activity has not slowed this year: not in January, as neo-Nazis plastered flyers outside newspaper offices and homes in Washington State and the Carolinas and an army veteran pleaded guilty to killing a black man in New York to “ignite a racial war”; in February, as Vermont synagogues and LGBT centers were vandalized and a self-described white-nationalist Coast Guard lieutenant was arrested for plotting a domestic terror attack; in March, as WELCOME TO GERMANY and GAS THE JEWS were spray-painted outside Oklahoma City Democratic Party and Chickasaw Nation offices and, on the Upper East Side, classmates handed their school’s only black ninth-grader a note reading “n—–s don’t have rights”; in April, as a shooting at a synagogue left one dead and three injured and FBI Director Christopher Wray called white supremacy a “persistent, pervasive” threat to the country; in May, as swastikas fell from the sky — on flyers dropped by drones outside an Ariana Grande concert — and were scrawled on public spaces in at least three states; in June, as far-right groups rallied in Portland, Oregon, for the first time that summer; in July, as a man promoted a white-power manifesto on Instagram before killing three and wounding 17 others at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California; in August, as another angry young man — this one 1,000 miles away in El Paso, Texas — posted an anti-immigrant manifesto online then committed this year’s most deadly mass shooting, killing 22 and injuring 24 at a Walmart; in September, as the Department of Homeland Security added white-supremacist extremism to its list of priority threats, the same month a swastika appeared on its walls; in October, as swastikas also appeared on Cape Cod and invitations to a white-supremacist gathering were mailed to Maine residents; in November, as a white-supremacist group filmed a video outside Mississippi’s Emmett Till Memorial; nor this month, as students flashed possible white-power signs at an Army-Navy football game.

Vladimir Putin helped convince Trump to sour on Ukraine: report
October 21, 2019

Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin successfully convinced President Donald Trump to turn on Ukraine according to a bombshell new report published by The Washington Post on Monday.

“President Trump’s effort to pressure Ukraine for information he could use against political rivals came as he was being urged to adopt a hostile view of that country by its regional adversaries, including Russian President Vladimir Putin,” the newspaper reported, citing “current and former U.S. officials.”

North Korea's threat of 'Christmas gift' puts US, South Korea on high alert
Officials are on alert this week for a potential long-range missile test.
‎December‎ ‎24‎, ‎2019‎ ‎

After months of stalled nuclear negotiations and ratcheting up rhetoric, North Korea has promised to deliver a "Christmas gift" to the U.S. -- a warning that has American and South Korean officials on high alert this week for a potential long-range missile test.

If so, it would be the first long-range missile test in over two years, which is not only another flagrant violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions on Pyongyang, but also a breach of Kim Jong Un's personal pledge to President Donald Trump not to test such weapons.

Trump downplays concerns of North Korea's 'Christmas gift': Maybe it's 'a beautiful vase'

trump has failed at every level. Talking about a reduction of 1.2 percent unemployment when unemployment was falling when trump took office or jobs created when more jobs were being created for 7 years before trump took office just doesn't cut it.

America is not doing better because of trump.

Do you expect ANY of us believe you care about farmers?

Really?

Get a grip fool

The greatest economy weve ever seen, lowest unemployment in over 70 years. Yeah, were doing horrible.

You do realize that you are now significantly to the Left of liberal fiscal icon Keynes, right?

Was that a jarring change for you? Did it happen all at once, or was it a process?
