Appreciate that :toast:
I am no ghost or secondary handle. I got booted from some other forums because a lot of posters whine when my words hurt their feelings. I came here to check it out and when I tried to register it came up that I already registered in 2012. This could be easily confirmed by my login history.
hahaha... my best friend - who's a trump supporter - called me to talk about this.. ended up being a 2+hour conversation. Ill try to give cliff notes...
I actually do NOT enjoy sharing my political opinion, so I rarely do for so many reasons (ie Im rarely going to sway anyone opinions, what does 1 vote really matter anyway, so many things are so fucked up, how much power does a president really have, and most of all, i normally believe that one candidate vs another will really be doomsday)
All that is NOT true about my feelings on Trump. I strongly disliked him before he ever announced his run for president. I think he's a joke of a human. I was in disbelief when he won a state, much less the GOP, all while imploding and showing his true colors. It's not like he changed who he was, it just didn't matter apparently.
I'm not envious of diehard conservative or liberals who feel this doomsday every election. it's weighing heavy on me. I literally didn't sleep well for weeks when I thought Trump could possibly win.
I honestly don't understand how any free thinking, intelligent person can ever consider Trump for President. But really, I can't and I think it's a huge reason why I'm vocal this year... (going to regret this one)
There's a 100 reasons for this... Besides I truly believe he's a racist, sexist, horrible human being that has very little real feelings besides his own narcissistic personality.
So there's that...
I went to the holocaust museum in December it was truly chilling how you could see so much of Trump's rise to Power with that of that Nazi (I'm not trying to be illogical here - It was a striking resemblance in strategy)
But if I take his personality out of it... Which, if you read about the guy who ghost-wrote the Art of the Deal ( a book I've own and read multiple times) How can you think this man has intelligence? How has he had nearly NO support amongst those that have worked closely with him?
How can anyone vote for a business man, who absolutely refused to release his tax document, ie his business success. How can the POTUS not know how to work a computer? I love Mark Cuban, even more so during this election. He's the business man that should have ran...
There are millions of people smarter than me and in the known, the fact that so many of these people are speaking out against Trump... GOP's included. THIS DOESN"T HAPPEN unless there's a severe reason... Continuing this thought line.. The EIU had Trump has a larger threat to the world economy than ISIS...
I don't believe he ever says, if he was democrat i'd be the same way. I truly dont think he cares what he says.. obviously. But I mean it doesn't speak factual, its emotional. Like for instance, Bloomberg he was on record for how much he liked him (Clinton as well for that matter) and then as soon as he spoke against him, Bloomberg was a loser.
I think Trump is your basic, moronic bully who makes the classroom laugh, that puts labels on other kids that were his enemy that the name sticks regardless of how true it is. He's a leader in that sense, but doesn't realize his power.
Honestly, to sum it all up, No Presidential candidate has ever made me scared for my future until Donald Trump... And I'm disappointed that he may get 40% of the US's vote, when in reality that man shouldn't get 40% of the vote to keep Celebrity Apprentice
I hate that my posts are on mod review so this won't get posted until the morning
You have to know how misleading those unemployment numbers are. Millions of people have stopped looking for work and therefore are removed from labor force (labor participation), restrictions were introduced for unemployment benefits, and food stamps have increased by 41%.
The stock market has doubled because it was at rock bottom and had nowhere to go but up, and the fed's quantitative easing was a major factor in market increases
There were no 911 type attacks because of increased security measures for public transportation put in place during Bush's presidency after it happened. To suggest the country is safer because of Obama when we've had the Boston marathon bombing, the Orlando night club, San Bernadino, etc. occur while he has been in office is dishonest
Take this questionnaire about the two candidates!! (Using google would be cheating!)
“Which candidate made a joke about ‘colored people time’ saying that black people are always late?”
“Which candidate suggested a 12-year-old rape victim made up accusations because she enjoyed ‘fantasizing about older men?’”
"Which candidate called a manager, employed by him/her, a "Fucking Jew bastard""
"Which candidate called young black men “super-predators” indicating that they thought all young black males were violent criminals. they also said, “We have to bring them to heel,” like young blacks are the same as dogs."
"Which candidate said “I love this quote. It’s from Mahatma Gandhi. He ran a gas station down in St. Louis for a couple of years. Mr. Gandhi, do you still go to the gas station?” "
"Which candidate said “I am adamantly against illegal immigrants.” They also voted to construct a wall between the US and Mexico."
"Which candidate during the 2008 democratic primaries started the “birther” rumors, questioning Obama’s US citizenship. They even circulated the now famous picture of Obama in full Muslim garb"
"Which candidate shortly after announcing their candidacy, said “all lives matter” in a black church"
"Which candidate said they had experience dealing with wild men when they “get off the reservation.” In essence they said Native Americans are savages who must be segregated from the rest of society."
"Which candidate pandered to black voters by claiming they always carry hot sauce with them"
Lets see who can get these correct!!

I do want to add this.. even if off topic...
I HATE THE DIVISIVE RHETORIC OF THIS ELECTION... I personally think these kinds of conversations are bad for this forum that I love way too much. Obviously, I'm just as guilty of it... I do feel like this election will have done significant damage, and not just on our little forum but to the country as a whole.
But my feelings are so strong it's hard not to lose respect, for a lack of a better word, for people who contradict my strong beliefs. And I'm sure that feeling is mutual for many of you on the other side of things... Then again, for those that hate me, it's just keeps that firing burning... yet, we should be here talking sports, bonding over our interest and similarities instead of letting difference tear us at the seems. And for the bigger picture the belief that Americans should come together to support one president, not further divide. Things have become so murky between races, political parties, ect.. I think we're losing the war on the bigger picture. Were we should be coming together to show strength, we are separating and becoming weaker...
maybe its always been this way and my youth is why i was blind to it...

When one can't dispute Facts, they make up excuses for the facts, to try and back up their invalid feelings, which are in dispute with the Facts.
The LPR was never cited as a meaningful stat, until Unemployment started nosediving under Obama. The reason for the LPR % is simply because a massive amount of Baby Boomers have retired over the last decade or so, and they still count in that stat.
Funny. When Obama came in, many people predicted a bigger market collapse than Under W. The "nowhere to go but up" nonsense is just that. QE ended a while ago, Markets still doing well.
911 happened under W. No such catastrophe happened under Obama, thankfully, and hopefully doesn't, although the Idiot Drumpf is praying for one.
hno:wow, i cannot believe they are tying trump to duke, and these idiots eat it up, lets not talk about policies to grow the economy or how to combat radical islam, but this shit...smh, like for real
we elected a man twice whom was friends with domestic terrorists and sat in jeremiah wrights church for 20 years...
i guess that me makes me a racist..im done
