If you are going to claim the successes, then you HAVE to claim the failures, right @Horace (just teasing you!!). As President Truman say - "The buck stops here" A president can't say - "Well, I did great for the first three years. Just dont bother looking at the last year!!!" Personally, i do not blame President Trump for what has happened to the economy over the past 6 months. (But I also dont give him as much credit as he economically claims for the first three years 55555) Unemployment Nov 2016 = 4.7% July 2020 = 10.2% SP 500 Nov 2016 = 2594 July 2020 = 3295 GDP Growth Annual during President Trump = (-2%) 2017 = 2.3% 2018 = 3.0% 2019 = 2.2% 2020 = -10% Debt Nov 2016 = $19.9 trillion July 2020 = $26.5 trillion (increase of 33%) If only Mr Trump had let a few more non- essentials die we could have a terrific economy. But the US didn't and the economy is in terrible shape. If we are going to talk about one person being responsible for it, who would it be? Is the economy in terrible shape, compared to other First World countries?

@Copper said in The Biden Book: @taiwan_girl said in The Biden Book: Question from me - I hear that you people talk about the "swamp". What is the definition of this? Washington DC is built on a swamp, and is also the home of some of the slimiest humans in the world. LOL Laughing but probably much truth in that statement!!!!

@Jolly said in Joe 'You ain't black' Biden: Successful schools have two things in common: 1) parental involvement, and 2) a strong sense of community. Agree with you 100%. The #1 I think is even more important than your #2.

Thanks!

@Jolly said in They still make these! Who knew?: When was the last time you used a compass? Definitely within the last 12 months, and I used a “real” compass too, not the solid state one build into many modern “smartphones” these days.

I remember hearing about the tensions at the time. Did not know the depth.

But wait, his profile says he’s at CNN.

I don't hear her calling for reparations and don't think anyone should be held accountable for their ancestry. That applies to her as well. Like Trump, Biden and the whole lot, there is plenty to dislike about her without going to that length.

@LuFins-Dad thats funny. Stolen.

@Copper said in Mr. Obama can't get it up...: This is how The Russians are Coming started. With the author with writers block on Gloucester Island, didn’t they use Martha’s Vineyard to shoot that? I remember seeing that movie in the theater. (Comments such as "Jesus, you're old" will be ignored.) My father sat next to me, translating the Russian for me. He did the same when we went to see "The Longest Day," but it was the German he translated.

Racist

@Larry said in Baseball history, courtesy of Gov Cuomo: Ah... it's ok to play baseball because a democrat says so, but Pence is an idiot for saying we should allow football to be played.. Got it. How about that. All those people making fun of Pence. Hahahaha.

And of course they had to make it about race. Apparently Leftists aren't aware that there are lots of people of all races already living in the suburbs. Otherwise they'd have u derstood that Trump was referring to criminal types, not a color. God I hate the Left.

Big Chinese population there. Also Hispanic.

I wouldn't have california up my ass even if I had room for a sawmill.
