How do you feel about the reports that we're on the verge of another recession?

Considering there's no financial bubble at the moment, it seems pretty damn unlikely.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/economists-think-the-next-u-s-recession-could-begin-in-2020-1525961127

I can't read the entire article because lolsubscribing but are these by chance the same economists who predicted an economic disaster 2 years ago and insisted the growth rate would never exceed 4%?

Because those predictions were also wrong

Lower unemployment rates

More stock records broken (in 1/4th the time)

Higher consumer confidence rates

Bigger job market

Higher median household income

Do you think the fact that Trump came into office 8 years after the financial crisis, rather than in its midst, has anything to do with these things?

Its funny because if Trump ordered the drone bombing of a terrorist leader who renounced his American citizenship then Mal would be defending it.

Obama also ordered his son to be bombed.

Then it'd make more sense to compare what little Obama did in his first 2 years with what Trump has currently done,

No it wouldn't, because it's not a rule that presidents get better or worse the longer they have the job.

Will we see you there?

I wasn't there when Obama did it because even then I had no illusions that Obama was a literal dictator, unlike many leftists' opinion of the much-less-bad Trump


So either way you'll be criticizing Obama and defending Trump. Got it.

Yeah, because Obama was worse than Trump by most metrics.

I don't think either of them are dictators by a long shot. If you put their deeds up on a balance sheet though, then Obama comes out looking way worse than Trump does. That's all.

If I showed you Sarah Silverman's tweet of random civil engineering symbols on sidewalks being swastikas and Kathy Griffin's picture where she holds up a mannequin Trump's head, would you believe there is a secret cult of Hollywood celebrities being radicalized against Trump? No? Then why do you believe this nonsense when it comes to random nobodies?

I haven't made a single comment about Trump. LOL

I mentioned not to judge Trump's 2 years vs Obama's 8 years. It's a poorly weighted comparison.

How about we just compare them based on the things they have done and not based on what Trump might do according to a leftist pundit with severe TDS?

It's not a given that presidents will get worse over the course of their presidency, ergo there's no reason to believe Trump will either

People say Trump is dangerous to the media for saying mean thing about them while Obama jailed journalist sources and government whistleblowers

People say Trump is easy on Russia even though Trump bombed Russian bases, while Obama said over a hot mic that he would allow to give Russia more "leeway" after his reelection and allowed Russia to annex Crimea, and never bombed any Russian bases.

People say Trump is a dictator even though he never killed a citizen extrajudicially, unlike Obama who directed the military to do that exact thing, and also signed multiple NDAAs allowing indefinite detention of American citizens.

I don't see a pattern.

It's clear that he either dronestriked your dog, or you're heavily biased.

If anything, it would be factually after Trump has served his 8.

So you're judging Trump based on what, your crystal ball that sees into the future?

This must be the common denominator between people who hate Trump but love Obama and people who believe in dog whistles. Both are types of people who trust their biased snap judgments about people rather than facts.

Slow and steady wins the race. You'll regret those words.

The thing is I'm joking about this sort of thing, while your man Obama literally directed the military to bomb American citizens and you didn't give a single shit. I would say that's quite a bit worse than a rumor that Trump might remove citizenship from some dangerous people, huh?

Isn't it amazing how Obama was factually way worse than you believe Trump is?


Let's not pretend either of them is a great person in any sense of the words.

Trump isn't a nice person, but he's factually a better person than Obama.

Enough that videos accusing Tom Hanks of Pedophilia were near the top of Youtube's search results recently

Being at the top of a search result has literally nothing to do with how popular a video is. Thanks to Youtube's algorithm fuckery.

It wasn't even trending, it looks like. And there have been videos on the trending list with fewer than 10k views.

Thinking border security is important and people shouldn't be able to get away with breaking immigration laws to sap the benefits of citizens = you hate brown people

Being skeptical about encroaching influence of foreign governments across national borders = You hate jews.

Thinking kids aren't capable of making medical decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives = you're transphobic.

Essentially, the ''dog whistle'' is just a really lazy tactic of trying to end an argument without ever engaging intellectually by calling someone a bigot with no real evidence. The most hilarious thing is, the people who are most likely to call you anti-semitic for not liking globalism are the same people who will support Hamas over Israel.

tl;dr: if anyone unironically accuses someone of using a ''dog whistle'', it's best to write them off as a low-information individual.

QAnon is a 4chan poster whose cryptic messages have been interpreted by the country's dumbest people as code detailing Trump's role in secretly prosecuting his various enemies in Congress, the media, Hollywood, etc, who are somehow all tied along with the deep state in a vast web of conspiracy against him and also pedophilia.

Oh so you're intentionally signalboosting some random troll.

While this is highly unprofessional and racist, you do have to understand how these opinions are formed. Racism towards white people usually stems from some sort of oppression. It wasnt that long ago when Asians were viewed as subhumans in this country.

So if someone was abused by a black person at some point, it's then ok to support genociding black people. Gotcha.
