That 'booming' economy?

[BotanyBoy]

And then accuse the right of doing what you really are doing.

So, please, grow up and stop with the "I know you are but what am I?" That got old a long time ago.

That's all they've got.

Even assuming that is his rhetorical style (and I neither deny nor agree that it is), you cannot base your claim on the behavior of a single individual. Would you want us to equate all leftists to laughable simpletons like dan_c00000 or KeithD?

Just look at this very thread, where I and others have been accused of unfairly smearing Trump over his attitude and actions towards immigrants. You would have to be wilfully blind to his track record in the first place to think "he just wants to enforce the law" is a reasonable representation of what he's been doing, and besides that, numerous real-life examples have been provided, but the other side still pretends we're being hysterical over nothing in particular.

Because you have.

Repeatedly.

Demonstrably.

It's been proven.

Your only response to reality has been to ignore reality and go back to your echo chamber and just keep pretending there is NO such thing as context, borders, immigration laws or difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal migrant.

You can't establish any such track record.

Every example provided has been pulled out of context or ignores basic immigration realities.

You want context, BotanyBoy? Separating children from their families meets the UN definition of genocide. There's some context for you.

No, it doesn't.

You ignore context again.

Here, educate yourself.

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Securing borders and controlling immigration =/= nazism....genocide...or any of the other hyperbolic silly stuff the "progressive" left is trying to paint it as.

If the economy is booming

then why has their been 7,000 farmers filing for bankruptcy and why is the suicide rate for farmers increasing?

 

[JackLuis]

What part of the Economy went BOOM today?

More are coming!

 

[YDB95]

No, it doesn't.

You ignore context again.

You don't think they're trying to destroy the Latinx community?
Of course you don't.

 

[BotanyBoy]

You think a few thousand farmers is the economy?

LOL

The stupidity is off the charts....

 

[BotanyBoy]

You don't think they're trying to destroy the Latinx community?

Why would I think that??

Of course you don't.

Of course, because there is no evidence that the USA is trying to exterminate Latinos from the face of the Earth.

The open borders anti-American lefts hysterical and hyperbolic attempt to conflate border/immigration control with genocide notwithstanding of course.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

It's nowhere near that simple and you know it.


Has anyone here said that? I certainly haven't.

I'm a Leftist and I'd have to agree that Sharpton can be a real prick at times. Particularly when he's shilling for Kamala and should know better. I wouldn't automatically call a person a racist for calling out Sharpton, unless that person is already a racist and known to be and/or his reason for calling Sharpton out was a racist one.

Genocide or no genocide, putting kids in cages and forcing them to represent themselves in court, with no lawyer present, is inhuman, regardless of whether Trump does it or if Obama did (in before you try the "Obama did it, too" defense).

No, it's not inhuman.

You might not like it...but it's not inhuman, letting them stay potential victims locked up with those who are victimizing them, is inhuman.

I agree. My point was that I don't believe anyone here has called anyone a racist for not liking Sharpton.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

Exactly. Nobody has. I have not for sure.

 

[YDB95]

Exactly. Nobody has. I have not for sure.

The device used there is typical, though: someone says something genuinely racist ("Now that Obama's not president anymore, we can call it the White House again!") and, when called on it, they accuse us of calling anyone a racist who says anything negative about any African-American, even someone like Sharpton who has rubbed just about everyone the wrong way.

The only thing we have to fear is fearful zealotry.

The Right, right now, drastically underestimates the extent to which the Farm Belt is pissed at Trump. It's gonna come back to bite 'em in 2020. Not just in the Presidency, where Trump is probably doomed barring a major Democratic scandal, but also in the Senate and House. The Farm Belt is Trump's last real stronghold. If he can't hold that, he's toast, and so is Moscow Mitch's majority.

Mine Shutdowns in Top US Coal Region Bring New Uncertainty

Mine shutdowns heap yet more uncertainty onto outlook for top U.S. coal-producing region.

[BabyBoomer50s]

Always appreciate DawnO’Days fact-based posts. 100% right. And to add further proof of the health of our economy, take not Fed Chairman Powell’s recent comments and interest rate policy. The Fed clearly believes that it’s in solid shape. Biggest long risks to the US economy come from China, Germany, and other struggling economies overseas.

 

[PrincepsCyberius]

US consumer sentiment jumps as confidence around the economy rises.

LMFAO!!!!!!!


The left is overly optimistic about the desire for socialism and winding up like the Ukrainian farmers......eating their kids to make it through the winter.

SOooooo much progress!!!

Fed slices interest rates for second time since 2008 recession

I'm not sure I believe this "business is booming" claim. Stores/businesses are closing left and right; we're floundering around in a losing trade war that has farmers committing suicide at a record rate; manufacturing businesses continue to bleed out to other countries; blood-sucking corporate families like the Purdues-Sacklers are (illegally) sending their money abroad and declaring bankruptcy to abandon their creditors (which I call the Trump business model); the Trump administration is up to its eyeballs in country-fleecing financial corruption; the poor are getting poorer and the one percent richest are getting richer; GM workers are striking because profits aren't trickling down to those doing the work; Flint, Michigan, now joined by those in New Jersey, children are still being poisoned by their water supply; Trump-supporting private prisons are continuing to kidnap children and charge $700/day to keep each one in a cage; people are continuing to be killed physically and financially by the worst health system in the world; and the Fed, in reducing interest rates toward less than zero, is effectively telling people not to bother to save for a future. They will be penalized for doing so.

And just about every economist except for Trump's handful of "the best people" is saying we're about to plunge into a periodically occurring recession.

And, so, we put at the top a failed businessman who, despite all of his illegal business maneuvers, bankruptcies, stiff arming of vendors, and use/abuse of illegal workers would have been better off if he'd just banked what Daddy staked him to begin with and who is hiding his financials because of what they would reveal--that he doesn't have the clear assets he claims he does and that he did a whole lot of illegal shit just to get in his current loser businessman position.

Business is booming? Yeah, right.
