It seems you don't know the difference between a label and a description.

You wrote this:
Seemingly the more flips the worse the markets...

My question to you was appropriate and not a label.
"Still think it is because dems took the house?"

That the companies listed are struggling? (Despite years of well reported struggling)

Antifa are anarchists. I agree that they are the extreme left and pretty much useless when asked what they have to contribute.

Now...who are the right wingers who started fights in Portland or Charlottesville or New York? Are you saying they are not fascists? HINT: The Nazi flag is a dead giveaway.

The extreme right did not start the fights in those places. Your example of Portland is [Unwelcome language removed] ridiculous? Antifah once beat up someone who was protesting with them for refusing to put down an American flag. All you would have to do is show in place like that with a different idea and they will try and kick the shit out of you.

I mean I know the website says they are peaceful :rolleyes: I just wondering why they always show up with helmets and clubs.......

All your party leaders are now bowing to the far left. You can deny it all you want, keep posting pictures of angry white people and pretend to have made a point....

Facts are facts.....

I understand that you don't like the label, but your party are the modern day fascist.

It's not the right who is shutting down free speech all over the country, or threatening things like putting "climate change deniers" in jail.

Your party is constantly trying to end debate instead of actually having one and you have the nerve to type this:

The labels are simply a tactic to try to discredit someone who disagrees with them.

The complete lack of self awareness of your party and the left is at all time high.

You are not tired of this forum, what you are is exhausted from constantly defending the absurdity that has become the Left. Not that you will actually ever admit that......but that is what is.
I tire of the misinformation constantly posted by you and others on the right. I have repeatedly posted facts to you and you continue to ignore those facts in favor of the emotional bullshit you throw out in every thread. You consistently hammer Obama for Bush's SOFA. You argue that everyone knew Valerie Plame was a well known CIA operative on the DC cocktail circuit, but can't find anyone to say they knew her. You spout crap about the economy as if all was doing so well in December of 2008. You pretend that Trump is doing so great, as if he was taking over with 10% unemployment and had brought it down to 4.5% (which Obama did)....instead of admitting Trump has only reduced unemployment by about .7%. You ignore that Trump has now driven the deficit up to $1 trillion per year.

I'm tired of the name calling, the insults, the lies....I have a dozen or so right wingers on ignore because they offer nothing of substance and their insults were the majority of their posts.

Indeed.

I've never seen a party largely proclaim with pride that they will try to raise taxes.

It's a good thing that we have a Conservative Senate and a Business-knowledgeable POUS to smack any of this ridiculousness down.. for now.

Hey, let's all suffer economically! We're so virtuous!

Here is a fact for you:

I have condemned anyone engaging in violence for any reason other than self defense.
Have you?

The Unite the Right guys started the violence in Charlottesville. I've linked to video of the night before at the Jefferson statue....a dozen counter protesters were surrounded by hundreds of Nazis/kkk types and the right wingers started the fights.

There has been more than one incident in Portland. One was a right winger who harassed some Muslim women on a street car and stabbed two guys who came to their defense.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Portland_train_attack

According to The Portland Mercury, Christian was a "known right-wing extremist and white supremacist". He had participated in various alt-right rallies in Portland. One month before the stabbing, Christian appeared at the right-wing March for Free Speech in Portland's Montavilla Park. He wore a Revolutionary War-era flag of the United States, and carried a baseball bat, which police confiscated. He gave Nazi salutes, and used a racial slur at least once

Nah, let's borrow trillions so that we can have lower taxes for a while....as if that is conservative....

Our "pous"...is a real estate developer. How many time has he gone bankrupt? He isn't even that good at real estate. He doesn't know shit about manufacturing, health care, technology (except how to tweet) or even how to hire a team.
 
Y'all dipped from the same chum bucket.
No, it was reasoning.

Take a look at facebook (the FANG's in general). Because of a lie about the weight of influence in an election by Russia via facebook, the company is being subjected to regulation and possible anti-trust action. Because it and others are being subjected to future regulation, their market drop, and their size they are disrupting the economic outlook and YOUR retirement prospects.

Who to blame? Democrats.

And that is just one economic card in the house of cards being brought down by this last election.

I actually prefer to have political diversity and bickering in congress. Forget the president - a Congress that is forced to fight for what it wants, is a more efficient entity.

When your budgets must pass the scrutiny of your enemies, no way are you getting pork belly deals for your buddies; IT WON'T HAPPEN. Who wins? The tax payer.

If you cut taxes WITHOUT cutting spending, you're basically taking out a high interest loan from China.

Part of the problem with Congress in 2009 was that the republicans set a record for filibusters and legislative delay. They weren't interested in letting anything go through if Obama could claim a victory....even if it was good for the country. The repubs in the senate even killed repub bills from the house....like the 911 first responder's health care bill.

They allowed the ACA to go through, but didn't vote for it. They did get compromises from Obama and the Dems and then used their own additions to the bill to criticize Obama. All in the plan to make Obama a one term president.

Our elected representatives do not operate as you suggest. I think there is more pork, not less. The deals they make are basically to buy each other's pork in return for votes.

I think part of the problem is that we cannot get them to vote for reasonable legislation on what is allowed in a spending bill. No, you cannot fund a Railroad museum in your district in return for voting for military spending in my district....Unrelated spending riders go through all the time.

We get a useful rule through that limits new spending to funding and then they vote to override it.

Don't know what the solution is. I wish I did....

Pretty amazing. The Trump tariffs and other economic policies and the rubberstamp GOP Congress,GOPs holding the Senate and the shaky overseas markets have nothing to do with this week's market slide. It's all the fault of elected Dems in the House who haven't even taken office. Most of the cons in this forum ain't worth talking with anymore. Happy Thanksgiving to you.

I used to think like you. But compromise is how we get debt and a whole number of bad policy ideas. I'm more for not compromising for a span of 6 to 8 years and having the results show themselves and then let another different political trend take hold if that uncompromising path proves needing correction.

Simply the opposite is true. They then both agree to spend is what happens and two spenders equals big credit card bills.

Agree.

Seems to me tech stock declines, declining homebuilders confidence, brexit turmoil and the like.

I disagree about the cons on this site. For the most part, they are good guys and I enjoy the banter. Sometimes posters here are hard to tell day to day by the issues they post. An awesome smattering of political ideology.

I posted a lot at another board, but took exception to how the cons on that site were treated. I was more conservative there and often was treated as one of the cons.

I posted at yet another site where a TRINITY of female right-wing Admins ran off all the libs and the behavior of the conservatives on that site was reprehensible. I took great delight in kicking their asses in the mosh-pit (flame zone), but when the admins have to step in, it's hardly a mosh-pit.

I know which board you are talking about.

I wasn't always that nice to you as I remember....sorry about that. I didn't know you.

I actually remember you from both places. PM me so we don't have to talk about this on the open boards.

Hopefully the voters in those districts will learn their lesson and not allow them to stay in the house.
