    Lovely random text that refutes no part of what was posted.

    You screamed it wasn't good enough


    Trump inherited an economy doing great

    It's a hilariously stupid inversion of the "cum hoc, ergo propter hoc" fallacy. Instead of arguing that two things happened at once, therefore one must have caused the other (like: Obama was in office when the prisoner interrogation policies he opposed enabled us to find and kill bin Laden, therefore Obama's policies must have killed bin Laden), Democrats now argue that anything that happens with Trump in office cannot possibly be the result of his policies, even though all the evidence draws a clear and direct line between the two...and even though no one can point to a single Obama policy that did anything but kill jobs.

    For instance, how did doubling and tripling everyone's health care costs create jobs and improve the economy? That doesn't even make sense on its face.

    Total BS.

    Free speech is cool as long as it jibes with our program.

    And? That means its facts and conclusions must be wrong, HOW exactly? Or you just need it to be wrong because you don't like it and are willing to say whatever it takes to smear it with the "attack the source" fallacy.

    Opinion page doesn't mean invalid. Repeating your weak "attack the source" fallacy won't make it true. That's actually an entirely separate fallacy called "ad nauseum."

    It didn't. What part of "worst economic recovery since the Great Depression" don't you grasp?

    Washington, D.C., Sept. 19, 2007 - Ending eight years of stalled negotiations and impasse, the Commission today voted to adopt, jointly with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), new rules that will finally implement the bank broker provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. The Board will consider these final rules at its Sept. 24, 2007 meeting. The Commission and the Board consulted with and sought the concurrence of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Office of Thrift Supervision.



    the link is the first link in my signature



    the Bush team refused to fully implement the rules andlet the Banks do whatever the fuck they wanted for 8 long years


    This is NOT from an opinion page


    This is a government release from the Bush admins Security and exchange

    Neither is the NY Times article contradicting your desperate attempt to rewrite history...not that being an opinion page makes the facts and conclusions incorrect in the first place.

    They did the same type thing with Bush and Obama. When gas prices went up under Bush, and they did, lefties blamed Bush. When they went up under Obama, lefties argued that a President doesn't have much control over what happens with gas prices. Same thing when prices went down. Bush didn't get credit but Obama did.

    Consistently garbage, yes.

    Throwing another unhinged tantrum won't get you past the facts.



    Say it with me..."Worst economic recovery since the Great Depression." That's an undisputed fact. Go hyperventilate in a corner for a while until you can formulate an adult counterpoint.
