    Default The President* Doesn't Know Anything About Anything, But He Can Feel Things Slipping

    The economic indicators do not look good. So Trump is attacking the Fed.

    This is starting to feel very 2008 now. I don't know if anyone else got hit this way but, when the grifter-induced crash came at the end of the last decade, it seemed like I woke up one morning and the entire economic structure of the world had vanished in smoke and mist. Nobody I knew really knew what had happened. (Collateralized debt obligations? Credit default swaps? Derivatives? Don't they sell those in Whole Foods in the pills and powders aisle?)

    As it happens, it didn't become entirely clear until the whole thing was explained to me by this woman who taught at Harvard Law School. She managed to make things clear even to my math-resistant brain. Anyway, over the last couple of days, I'm starting to feel like someone's kicked out a couple of critical Jenga pieces again.

    Electing (R) creatures to "fix" the economy is like voting hiring Genghis Khan to fix your barbarian problems.

    Not a good time for the Fed to lower interest rate.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Why? Trump has been begging for it and insulting every Fed Chief who does not do his bidding.

    Should it's be fixed the Obama way? Three waves of QE costing trillions which has yet to work its way through the system. If that's too hard for you, then get Mr. Owl to mansplain it for you.

    The irony and SAD PATHETIC part of this is that a if he used a COIN TOSS for EACH decision he made, it would end at least end up in a 50/50 chance of getting SOME THINGS RIGHT!

    Hiring Trump to reduce the federal debt is like hiring Perdue Pharma to deal with your opiate addiction.

    Esquire eh? PHONY news. The economy is going great. Fed just lowered the prime rate and the stock market is hitting new highs. Yep, this is bad news for the Party of the Jackass, but not for Trump.

    Obama didn't fix anything. He made it worse; yet you low IQ dullards loved him.

    The sad pathetic irony is that you losers on the left have never been right; EVER. The economy is better than it was under Obamunism. But in leftist hack world that is bad news.

    Let's review once again, Obama's legacy:

    Obama’s legacy in graphical form:

    Perdue Pharma has NOTHING to do with opiate addiction. I am always saddened and amused how low IQ leftists blame everyone BUT the people acting badly.
