Danny Bateman Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 The mental gymnastics required to claim you're the catalyst for ending terrorism while cozying up to the Saudis is truly astounding. 1 Link to comment
mrandyk Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Is there a more impossible claim to make than that of ending terrorism? There is no ending terrorism. Even an eradication of Islamic terror organizations isn't going to protect us from the types of attacks that have most consistently affected our nation. Link to comment

Yet our president summarily mocks even the suggestion of gun control and takes the low-hanging fruit of Islamist terrorists. Link to comment
zoogs Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 What's worse is that a non-gun terror attack happens and Trump takes to Twitter throwing punches at the anti-gun lobby. /puke. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 That's actually what I was referring to zoogs!But yeah, he's pretty neatly sold out to the NRA. 1 Link to comment

I commented elsewhere that if guns were involved then a hell of a lot more than 7 people would have died. The attack may actually illustrate that gun control does work. 1 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 So, looking at the Dow. On 2/1/2009 (little over one week after Obama took office), the Dow was at it's low point from the disaster that started in 2006-2007. It was at 7,063. 8 years later on 2/1/2017 (little over one week after Trump took office), the Dow was 20812. So, it averaged over those 96 months to gain 143.21 per month. Now....today, the Dow is 21,201. Over those 4 months, the Dow has averaged gaining 97.25 per month. GREAT JOB TRUMP!!!! WHOOO HOOO....... Soooo....much better. This is one hell of a improvement over what we have been experiencing. Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 On jobs creation. Over the last 4 months, an average of 148.5 thousand jobs have been created per month. Over the previous 48 months, only 9 months were below that 148.5 figure. That leaves 39 months that were better than the average over the last 4 months. Link to comment
