We had a recession during Bush's first 2 years.

So much for your nonsense, huh?

And the recession starting in 2997 was due to bad loans written years earlier.

You need to get back on the bench and let starters take your place. You're not ready for the big leagues yet.

Bush took office during a period of economic recession in the wake of the bursting of the dot-com bubble.[101] The terrorist attacks also impacted the economy.

Sorry loser

"Bush took office during a period of economic recession"... So cute, these CRCs with their alternative history.

List of recessions in the United States - Wikipedia
Early 1990s recession in the United States

July 1990–Mar 1991 8 months 7 years
8 months 7.8%
(June 1992) −1.4% After the lengthy peacetime expansion of the 1980s, inflation began to increase and the Federal Reserve responded by raising interest rates from 1986 to 1989. This weakened but did not stop growth, but some combination of the subsequent 1990 oil price shock, the debt accumulation of the 1980s, and growing consumer pessimism combined with the weakened economy to produce a brief recession.[65][66][67]

Early 2000s recession
Mar 2001–Nov 2001
8 months 10 years 6.3%
(June 2003) −0.3% The 1990s were the longest period of growth in American history. The collapse of the speculative dot-com bubble, a fall in business outlays and investments, and the September 11th attacks,[68] brought the decade of growth to an end. Despite these major shocks, the recession was brief and shallow.[69]

Great Recession
Dec 2007–June 2009[70][71] 1 year
6 months 6 years
1 month
10.0%
(October 2009)[72] −5.1%[73] The subprime mortgage crisis led to the collapse of the United States housing bubble. Falling housing-related assets contributed to a global financial crisis, even as oil and food prices soared. The crisis led to the failure or collapse of many of the United States' largest financial institutions: Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, Citi Bank and AIG, as well as a crisis in the automobile industry. The government responded with an unprecedented $700 billion bank bailout and $787 billion fiscal stimulus package. The National Bureau of Economic Research declared the end of this recession over a year after the end date.[74] The Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow) finally reached its lowest point on March 9, 2009.[75]


Bill Clinton was President from January 1993 to January 2001

 

[bodecea]

The Pardon was only for Federal. Clinton, like Nixon, had to deal with the states. Not much difference now. Trump is as guilty as either one of those (actually worse because he's slicker) but he's taken advantage of his privileged position. He can play the game with the House because he owns the Senate but the House has the option to take it to the courts which Trump, by far, doesn't own. If he tries to play the same games with them they have the power to put his butt in prison. They just can't remove him from Office. But it's a bit difficult to do your Presidential Duties from a Prison cell. Trump ain't nearly as smart as a Mafia Don is. We may yet have a President Pence before long if Trump keeps playing these games. He just keeps going deeper and deeper.

Poor little thing, your god Mueller let you down so now it's on to plan B. Thanks for the belly laugh.

.

Mueller did his job. Now, it's up to the House to do their job. It's called Oversight. And with Trump and the Strumpets, it's a full time job for almost all of the 435 members of the House. I'll be glad when this finally finds it's way into the court system. Even Hollyweird can't make this stuff up.

I agree on one thing, it is time for the courts to ***** slap the congressional commies. All this crap based on wishes and unicorn farts is getting old. The commies put their cards on the table two years ago, the courts will see through their smoke screens.

Yes, I agree the Department of Justice needs to meet this House of Horrors Congress to face the music on their attempted coup against a President who has done nothing but good for the people of America. Democrats in their arrogance have fought tooth and nail to end peacemaking, criticize each and every single thing President does in behalf of the American people, demanded their minions to harass Trump's staff, his wife, his children, his business associates--and as many Republican Congressmen as well.

​

The seditious commies in the house and senate need to have their day of reckoning. It can't constitutionally be called treason, but it is sedition.

.

Yeah...CRCs have been crying that for years now.....how's it working out for you? Any day now?

I am fully aware of what happened today, what Trump did, what Trump said. Trump is begging to be impeached, which is exactly my point.

The worst mistake the Democrats could make is to impeach Trump!

In the first place, heading into the 2020 Presidential election, Democrats should not do exactly what their main rival wants them to do.

In the second place, what exactly would be accomplished by impeachment? Some naive congressmen and women think impeachment is an end onto itself. It is not. Impeachment is merely an indictment. The trial takes place in the Trump Republican held Senate where conviction will only happen when pigs can fly. Trump would become a martyr, a victim of Democratic overreach. Why do you think Trump wants to be impeached?

In the third place, these immature lawmakers who think Trump should be impeached should look back on 1998 and the failed impeachment of Bill Clinton which was led by the Republicans. After Clinton was vindicated he became more popular. The pending election was a disaster for the GOP. The Speaker, Newt Gingrich, first lost his post. Months later, he was booted out of the House. That is what impeachment accomplished for the Republicans, and Pelosi and others with more experience remember it well.

In the fourth place, a recent poll showed that only 37% want Trump impeached, probably mostly Republicans. It is Trump's only chance. 60% of Americans oppose impeachment. When asked should Trump be reelected, 60% said no, 37% said yes. Twice in the last two days, two different federal courts have ruled against Trump and in favor of the House Democrats.

What does this mean? It means the Democrats are already winning. Taking into consideration 1998, why risk throwing the election in favor of Trump?

OLC, Tlaib, Omar and others calling for impeachment say that it is a Constitutional duty for the House to impeach Trump. Consider this. The worst possible threat to our Constitution is another four years of the Trump Presidency.

This was illustrated in living color today.

No, he should be voted out of office.

That's funny since it's mostly Republicans who keep giving us recessions.

You might want to re look.. anytime we got in Trouble it’s when dems have the house.. YOU CAN GOVERN! Lol
First two years of bush booming! Last two years dems unemployment 10%

Trump first two years booooming! Dems take over! Don’t support trade deals ,, won’t govern on immigration that lowers American wages, won’t govern on infrastructure ..

Democrats CANT GOVERN!

LOLOL

We had a recession during Bush's first 2 years.

So much for your nonsense, huh?

And the recession starting in 2997 was due to bad loans written years earlier.

You need to get back on the bench and let starters take your place. You're not ready for the big leagues yet.

Bush took office during a period of economic recession in the wake of the bursting of the dot-com bubble.[101] The terrorist attacks also impacted the economy.

Sorry loser

"Bush took office during a period of economic recession"... So cute, these CRCs with their alternative history.

List of recessions in the United States - Wikipedia
Early 1990s recession in the United States

July 1990–Mar 1991 8 months 7 years
8 months 7.8%
(June 1992) −1.4% After the lengthy peacetime expansion of the 1980s, inflation began to increase and the Federal Reserve responded by raising interest rates from 1986 to 1989. This weakened but did not stop growth, but some combination of the subsequent 1990 oil price shock, the debt accumulation of the 1980s, and growing consumer pessimism combined with the weakened economy to produce a brief recession.[65][66][67]

Early 2000s recession
Mar 2001–Nov 2001
8 months 10 years 6.3%
(June 2003) −0.3% The 1990s were the longest period of growth in American history. The collapse of the speculative dot-com bubble, a fall in business outlays and investments, and the September 11th attacks,[68] brought the decade of growth to an end. Despite these major shocks, the recession was brief and shallow.[69]

Great Recession
Dec 2007–June 2009[70][71] 1 year
6 months 6 years
1 month
10.0%
(October 2009)[72] −5.1%[73] The subprime mortgage crisis led to the collapse of the United States housing bubble. Falling housing-related assets contributed to a global financial crisis, even as oil and food prices soared. The crisis led to the failure or collapse of many of the United States' largest financial institutions: Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, Citi Bank and AIG, as well as a crisis in the automobile industry. The government responded with an unprecedented $700 billion bank bailout and $787 billion fiscal stimulus package. The National Bureau of Economic Research declared the end of this recession over a year after the end date.[74] The Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow) finally reached its lowest point on March 9, 2009.[75]


Bill Clinton was President from January 1993 to January 2001

When you have to go to a Clinton who was more conservative then trump haha

The House should not impeach Trump, at least with what is known now. They should continue to investigate.

What are they gonna find that Mueller couldn't find with his 19 Trump haters, 40 FBI agents, and 2800 subpoenas?

There's no doubt that there're going to come up with stuff.

There's no doubt they'll continue to accuse him of stuff but there will be no evidence presented, just more accusations. What you're saying is that they should continue with their smear campaign and hope they can sway public opinion.

It's an ideal climate for democrats going into 2020, with Trump under a cloud of suspicion, impeachment hanging over his head, illegal immigrants pouring into the country

The American people aren't stupid enough to believe this isn't the Dems obstructing progress to prevent Trump from succeeding. And it's clear that he is the only one trying to secure the border. He won't get the blame for that.

and Rowe v Wade under danger of repeal with only 28% supporting repeal.

They're not trying to repeal it. If Rowe v Wade goes down, it will be in the courts, not the legislature. That would take Congress getting involved, which will never happen. The effort against it has been on the state level and Trump is not involved in that effort so it won't hurt him in 2020.

All Democrats have to do is don't screw up by nominating a far left candidate.

The party itself is far left. The only so called moderate they have is Biden, and he has 5,000 lbs. of baggage, plus by the time the primaries are held he will have moved so far to the left (in order to get the nomination) he will no longer be seen as a moderate but an extreme leftist. And if the Dems are not able to tank the economy, it doesn't matter WHO they nominate, they're gonna lose.

It was a instant JOLT, and if it wasn’t for the war every economist said it would have created a great Economic time in America

LOL

An "instant jolt?"

The unemployment rate went from 4.2% to 6.0%. GDP went from 4.1% in 2000 to 1.0% in 2001 and 1.7% in 2002.

So where exactly was that "instant jolt?"

Yea 9-11 happend his taxes cut had a jolt to America,, so much so Obama extended bush tax cuts.. hmmm

9.11 was a boost to the economy?

And point to the numbers to prove your point, because unemployment rose steadily during his first two years and GDP was 1.0% and 1.7% respectively. I'm not seeing a "booooming" economy in there.

9-11 happened during the tax cut booooooming! It’s was expected to sky rocket.. just facts bro ..

LOLOLOL

So your definition of a booming economy is growing unemployment and shrinking GDP?

And cheering for terrorist attacks....apparently.

It's been 35 days since the release of the Mueller report.
Where's the impeachment?
Why wont the Democrats put up or shut up?

Maybe because they haven't seen the full report yet?

There's nothing in the report. If there was, you'd know it by now. You guys are hilarious in a tragic pitiful way.

How could we know it if we haven't seen it?

You don't believe Mueller?

 

[Faun]

So you're saying there was no boom because of 9.11?

Huge booooom! Prior of course then we were attacked by democrats

If there was a huge boom, you'd be able to show the economic indicators to back up your silly assertion.

You can't because you're hallucinating the boom.

Obama kept the tax cuts .. hmmm

He kept them because we were in a monster recession and you don't raise taxes during a recession.

And you still can't produce any economic indicators from 2001 or 2002 showing the boom that's going off in your head.

What did the Democrats do in the last four years of Bush besides obstruct , to try to help build the economy?? Dodd frank? Please explain besides having a temper tantrum like a 3 year old towards bush. Which is why I went from Democrat to republican.

Focus Dumbfuck, focus. Wee're talking about Bush's first 2 years, not his last 4.

Where can I find the economic indicators showing an economic booooooom in 2001 or 2002?

Hmmm economy lol North Korea stop shooting ballistic missiles , new trade deals, are you retarted??

He was handed a strong and growing economy. That's like giving the win to a relief pitcher coming into the 9th inning with a 10-0 lead.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I am fully aware of what happened today, what Trump did, what Trump said. Trump is begging to be impeached, which is exactly my point.

The worst mistake the Democrats could make is to impeach Trump!

In the first place, heading into the 2020 Presidential election, Democrats should not do exactly what their main rival wants them to do.

In the second place, what exactly would be accomplished by impeachment? Some naive congressmen and women think impeachment is an end onto itself. It is not. Impeachment is merely an indictment. The trial takes place in the Trump Republican held Senate where conviction will only happen when pigs can fly. Trump would become a martyr, a victim of Democratic overreach. Why do you think Trump wants to be impeached?

In the third place, these immature lawmakers who think Trump should be impeached should look back on 1998 and the failed impeachment of Bill Clinton which was led by the Republicans. After Clinton was vindicated he became more popular. The pending election was a disaster for the GOP. The Speaker, Newt Gingrich, first lost his post. Months later, he was booted out of the House. That is what impeachment accomplished for the Republicans, and Pelosi and others with more experience remember it well.

In the fourth place, a recent poll showed that only 37% want Trump impeached, probably mostly Republicans. It is Trump's only chance. 60% of Americans oppose impeachment. When asked should Trump be reelected, 60% said no, 37% said yes. Twice in the last two days, two different federal courts have ruled against Trump and in favor of the House Democrats.

What does this mean? It means the Democrats are already winning. Taking into consideration 1998, why risk throwing the election in favor of Trump?

OLC, Tlaib, Omar and others calling for impeachment say that it is a Constitutional duty for the House to impeach Trump. Consider this. The worst possible threat to our Constitution is another four years of the Trump Presidency.

This was illustrated in living color today.

No but Naddler, Schumer and a few others should be recalled and replaced in a special election.
All this focus chasing the ghosts of 2016 has surely had a negative impact on our economy.
Can you imagine the progress on everything from immigration to kitchen table issues if the former & current house weren't made up of man children and dumbass women....
