    well, you' re dropping this stat

    how many?

    cause i'm guessing not most or even a high percentage

    have heard of dropping out of college to work on ideas but you don't meet many people who are intelligent that can't finish high school

    One of Trump's immigration judges threatened a 2-year-old Guatemalan boy

    with an attack dog, yelling: “I have a very big dog in my office, and if you don’t

    be quiet, he will come out and bite you! Want me to go get the dog?

    Do you want him to bite you?”

    Bolton tried to resign amicably and Trump refused, preferring to fire him publicly. Of course, Trump doesn't have much right to criticize Bolton, his style or his ideas. He knew exactly what he was getting when he hired him.

    I'm obviously no fan of Bolton and his neo-conservative approach to constant intervention in the business of other countries, but at least he doesn't base his foreign policy on the Book of Revelation.

    Criticizing from a far is much easier than governing.

    Absolutely. Re-elected or not, the policies he and the Congress have embarked upon in a bipartisan manner (huge tax cuts without commensurate budget reductions--in fact, more spending) are bad enough. If he starts messing with interest rates (and hopefully the Fed will tell him to f*ck off), the next President and Congress are going to be dealing with a problem of unprecedented proportion.

    But this is all about his re-election campaign. More of the blame game.

    Nothing about the meeting makes sense. They've been working of this for how long and still haven't gotten to 1st base? So Trump made a big deal about cancelling something that neither the U.S. or the Taliban was ever going to agree to.


    "A senior Taliban leader told NBC News Monday that Trump appears to have cancelled the negotiations after the group refused to travel to Camp David to hold direct talks with the Afghan leadership.

    "We have informed Zalmay Khalilzad a number of times that we don’t consider Ashraf Ghani and his administration as a legitimate government and therefore we refused to hold direct talks with them,” the Taliban leader based in Qatar said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media."

    You're very easily triggered these days.

    This post was a complete criticism of the Presidents current stance, which is in my opinion very bad for every day Americans long term

    I agree.

    I dont think the fed is worried about Trump but they do seem to be slaves to the market.

    Their policies have resulted in massive asset price bubble and record wealth inequality... they will continue to inflate that bubble until it bursts (already cut rates once, likely will two more times this year)

    I was at a meeting with an economist who used to work at the Federal Reserve of Minneapolis. He said the last rate cut was pretty much due to Trump's jaw-boning and that the problem gets to be with all of the possible fiscal remedies pretty much off the table due to the size of the tax cuts and the spending increases, the only tool left in the box in the event of a downturn is monetary policy. If that goes off the table, good frickin' luck when it comes time to pay up.

    Agree that the Fed is watching the market way too closely and basing decisions on that. There is trickle down from growth in the equity market (not as much as there was pre-1980s, but still some), but with just over half of Americans with investments in the stock market, the wealth gap continues to widen and that worries me far more than income inequality.
