Not boosting them very well if the most reliable predictor of recessions went off just the other day. Only question is if it hits before the election or after (in which case prepare for all the takes that its the fault of the Democrats) the timeline linked to the inverted yield curve (said indicator) would generally project it after because it's like a year and a half out it usually happens but with Brexit and trade wars who knows.

I feel like it's a bit early to be artificially propping up the stock market. There are still 14 months until the election - can they keep it up that long? I feel like it would be better to let the market fall now and then orchestrate a strong rally next fall.

Propping it up now risks a big crash hitting right around election time which would virtually guarantee defeat.

Also Trump's friend Xi tried propping up the market in China a few years back - it was a disaster. When you hear that public pensions have been ordered to buy stocks to stop their prices from going down.... you know what's up!

The congresswoman said that voters are seeing the "political elites" front and center, while candidates like her are left on the "outside."

"Really what they see is a small group of of really powerful political elites, the establishment making decisions that serve their interests and maintaining that power while the rest of us are left outside. The American people are left behind," Gabbard said.


You heard it here first. Bernie is a political elite.

Gabbard is a hack.

There were plenty of polls where she hit 1% and 2%, and while I don't really care if she in the next debate because she doesn't offer anything unique really, she is right that the DNC arbitrarily decides which polls count and isn't transparent about the process. They did the same thing to exclude Mike Gravel, who made the number of donors and polled at 1% in certain polls, just not the ones they arbitrarily decides count. And back in 2008 the DNC also arbitrarily changed the rules to exclude Dennis Kucinich from the debates, when it was "top 4 candidates" and then Bill Richardson dropped out, they changed it to top 3 candidates. They have a history of manipulation of the debate stage.

uh. no.

they listed which polling outfits counted ahead of time and what timeframe and/or area they had to be in (National or IA/NH/SC/NV) as well as the things like you couldn't just stack the same polling outfit multiple times in the same area.

There's a reason journalists, 538, etc. could note ahead of time if a poll would be a qualifying poll for various candidates.

I didn't mean they didn't tell people ahead of time, I mean they didn't explain how they chose those polls. For example, in the debate, Bernie gets the #3 slot when if you average the polls he is very clearly number 2. Why did they arbitrarily chose polls that are giving a poor impression of the reality of the race? Why not just count any poll, or why not explain why those polls are the trusted polls?

People are misconstruing this a little bit. This should be the norm. This suspect is mentally deranged(Its a really, really sad story), he shouldn't be shot and they acted appropriately.

But people are right if he were black(Or non-white in all likelihood) I wouldn't doubt that hes not shot or tazed or generally brutalized. At the very least, it would make such actions more likely.

I mean I do believe the frustration is more the why cops so often do not have that kind of restraint for black people than wishing they gunned this guy down too.

It's more of a point towards bootlickers who always defend and say cops don't have any other choices but to shoot.

His goal is to eliminate any programs that don't over-represent black people to the detriment of smarter and more deserving Asian and white students. I fully expect these to be gone by the end of the year.

I feel like most liberals don't believe that people can be gifted and talented. But I expect the outcome will be that gifted and talented students - but only the ones who can afford it - will be enrolled in private schools. And poor gifted and talented students will suffer.

Those statements have the same problem - presuming that black students are gifted at a lower rate than white and Asian students. But I think Seph misspoke or includes educational training provided by family in his concept of giftedness.

In any case, I think this action is a real shame. Naturally gifted and talented kids whose parents don't provide them with enrichment for their talent are the most in need of gifted and talented programs at public schools. Kids who are in these programs because their parents have hired them tutors since the age of 3 don't need them - but bright kids whose parents haven't given them such things are precisely the people who need the programs most.
