Well its a good thing we currently have a POTUS who understands how economies work.


...we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.

In five days, you can turn the page on policies that put greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street before the hard work and sacrifice of folks on Main Street. In five days, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, and create new jobs, and grow this economy, so that everyone has a chance to succeed, not just the CEO, but the secretary and janitor, not just the factory owner, but the men and women on the factory floor.
at least Obama got fundamentally transform the USA correct...

I, however, didn't get rejected from art school--I left. Nor do I gas jews--I love bagels.

I'm glad Trump is doing his part to restore our relationship with Israel that Iranian Lover Obama destroyed.

The media’s objective was to get the Washington commentariat focused on how Trump, in their estimation, is unfit to be president, and to do so at the beginning of the traditional post-Labor Day home stretch of the campaign season.

They have largely succeeded in this goal, but in so doing, failed again to learn the lesson that was so easy to conclude from the 2016 election and Trump’s steady popularity levels since then. That lesson is that the media and the commentariat no longer determine public opinion.

No matter how many outraged opinion pieces or news articles (but I repeat myself) the New York Times produces, no matter how many smarter-than-thou analysts with non-prescription eyeglasses mope about sadly on CNN, no matter how many Obama fan boys and girls left in the White House press corps shriek at the president whenever in earshot, it just doesn’t matter anymore.

The economy hums. Trump keeps us out of foreign entanglements. Wages increase. America’s traditional meritocracy replaces the Democrats’ grievance-based society. Life happens.

And while the New York Times op-ed was a nice try by the media, they must on some level, deep down, grasp the new reality: no one hears their screams.

By loosening up the very same regs that were set up to avoid the banks, brokerage and insurance companies, to avoid a repeat of the meltdown of 2009. Yeah, brilliant..

C-130E (at the time). I always wondered why anyone wanted to jump out of the back of a perfectly good airplane.

Why is it, when answering questions, a left leaning answer or rebuttal is "crying "? Why isn't it just an answer to the question? Often even when answered with fact, it still just crying.

the unswayed and 100% commitment to a liar, an actual on tape liar, is funny. Especially since the only answer to that will be " nobody lied more than Obama ". Like, my liar is better than the last.

well there's a great platform to build off.

You don't understand.

I'm not asking for investment advice, I'm offering to put a president who knows what they are doing into office in exchange for 17% of your 401k, in response to your ask.

I can attest to this based on first-hand experiance.

Braineack does, in fact, love bagels. (I'll admit that his position on gassing Jews is still unclear to me.)

It seemed like fun, no one ever told me that all the jumps would be with a static line! I didn't do frefall jumps until LONG after my DD214 was in my back pocket! Oh, and Uncle Sam paid a tax free "jump status" bonus... A whole $73 per month!

Oh, for that I'd pull a "Monica Lewinski" myself!

HALO for the win...

My flight pay went in the bank + I learned that I could live off per diem if I flew enough and being assigned to MAC then TAC allowed plenty of foreign travel. Oh well, that was then...

From Military Airlift Command, to Tactical Air Command. Where you a "driver" or "crew"? Until 2004, I went to Sunday School with a guy wo went from driving C-141's to F-16's with an A-7 in between. All guard duty, but still a heck of an acomplishment!

Crew, flight engineer. Began active duty and transitioned to ANG via the Palace Chase program. At the time Vietnam was in rapid wind down and they were begging active duty personnel to transition. I had college plans, and a job offer so it worked out good. I graduated HS early and had intentions of helicopters (Army). Thankfully when I tried to enlist the recruiter said "come back in 8 months". I realized that losing 5 hueys a week at the time didn't bode well for my survivability and so decided on AF. I had a low draft number.

I found if you lived within the bounds of the rules, the service was a great time.

WILL THE LIB BUBBLE EXPLODE?

These days “owning the libs” seems to be a booming business. I own lots of libs.* I picked them up at a discount during the Obama years. Owning a lib is even cheaper than owning a house with Fannie Mae’s 3% down payment program during the housing bubble years. You can generally own a lib these days with as little a 1% down, because they are so easily acquired on account of their sensitivities and huge outrage promotion market. And they are easy to maintain: just flash a MAGA hat, and they’re as good as owned for another six months.

But obviously I am concerned that we may have a lib-owning bubble—especially since all libs are sub-prime by definition-—and a crash may come. Maybe as soon as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. I hear rumors that hedge funds are heavily shorting lib ownership.
