Lies are essential to trump’s GOP. When their lies fail, they wind up like this guy

http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5d825926e4b0957256afdb77

60% of elected republicans have done something as bad or worse in the last three years involving sex, drugs, or embezzlement.

Time to out & oust these immoral crooks.

Red got a tax cut.

Trump enjoying the stimulus from the highest levels of government spending and lowest lending rates since 2010.  And yet Obama created more jobs, and we are looking at the high likelihood of a recession (or at the very least a slowdown) before his term is even over.

But RED likes Trump despite the racism because he has been such a good shepherd for our economy...

I think the fault with the current Democratic crowd is in thinking President Trump is not ADDING to his stable of "believers".  Big night last night in New Mexico.

Trump is not adding to his stable of believers.

Quote
Rep. Ilhan Omar on Wednesday accused President Trump of spreading “lies that put my life at risk” after the president retweeted a post falsely claiming that the Minnesota Democrat “partied on the anniversary of 9/11.”

Omar said the video of her dancing was taken not on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks but at a Congressional Black Caucus event. Earlier Wednesday, Trump had retweeted a post by conservative actor and comedian Terrence K. Williams claiming that the video of Omar dancing was taken on the anniversary of the attacks. The original video appears to have been taken Sept. 13.

“This is from a CBC event we hosted this weekend to celebrate black women in Congress,” Omar said in a tweet. “The President of the United States is continuing to spread lies that put my life at risk. What is Twitter doing to combat this misinformation?”
  - WaPo

Is there no lie so vile that the "President" would refrain from tweeting it?  Apparently not.  If the Gen Xers and Millenials start looking back in a few decades and decide to blame us Boomers for the condition of the world, I hope someone reminds all those political geniuses that they decided they were too "busy" to VOTE.  They got exactly the "president" that they deserve for that attitude.

REDSTATEWARD: What slander against Omar?

You and Red like to genuflect to and suck off fascist dictators. Since that is the essence of rapey republican foreign policy, I’m sure you approve.

Nah

Its mostly about foreign policy

North Korea has been left free to develop and test short-range weapons that put our troops in harms way.  Russia has been given the go-ahead to interfere in our elections in 2020.  The US is indifferent to democracy movements as autocratic strongmen have been empowered by Trump's rhetoric.  And we look to Saudi Arabia to tell us where and when to start an armed conflict.

But yes.  Compared to the economy I can understand why a Trump Supporter would choose to focus on foreign policy.

Another global school climate-change protest day this Friday...
'Climate emergency'.
The kids would be far better off staying in school and learning how to spell and write correctly.

Climate change [or whatever they're calling it]...conference in NYC soon...Australia banned from speaking at it.  LOL
Seems only true believers are allowed to speak.

"China and India will be seeking trillions from the 'climate fund'" ...No1 radio host.

"It's a transfer of wealth....
A transfer of wealth from so-called "wealthy countries" to those not so wealthy." -No1 radio host.
Well, hey...if American taxpayers want to give China and India et al billions and trillions for 'climate change', then that is their choice.

Just what is the condition of the world?
200 years ago the world poverty was a staggering 94 %. Today it is at an all time low of 10 per cent.
U S measurements set the poverty rate at 14 per cent in 2016. That rate today has been reduced by 20 per cent.

In 2016 we had 1.9 million MORE unemployed than job openings.
For the past 17 consecutive months, job openings have exceeded the number of unemployed. In July, the most recent month for which we have data, job openings stood at 7.2 million—nearly 1.2 million more than the number of unemployed.
Through August, year-over-year wage growth has met or exceeded 3% for 13 consecutive months.

A worker with a 40-hour-a-week job making the average hourly wage from August 2017 (when it was $22.11) through August 2019 ($23.59) would have seen an annual salary increase from about $44,000 to $47,000.

The share of income earned by the top 20% fell in 2018 more than it has in a decade, while those in the second-lowest income group had the largest increase in average household income among all groups at 2.5%, according to the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
