I find it interesting that the argument isn't that the quote is actually a false statement, but merely that W Churchill didn't state it personally. But I shouldn't complain too much, because it was exactly those sorts of low-level arguments that pushed enough voters to give Trump the win.

Empty seats at Pennsylvania rally give the lie to Trump’s claim of ‘record breaking’ crowd

Protesters were forcibly removed from the event, so obviously there will be empty seats. But if you want to laugh about small crowds, you can always look at the crowd for Hillary's inauguration:

Breaking my own rule for a sec, Why does the right use this picture of this confident looking young lady as if portrays some class of people they despise. Why does she scare them so much. BTW its a rhetorical question please don't respond.

Attributing the quote to Churchill is the only thing that lends it authority. If we attribute it to Joe the Plumber it loses the sense of gravitas that Righties crave so desperately.

Is this where we pretend that racism ended with slavery abolition? We got an attorney general who as a prosecutor abused his office to target people who registered African Americans to vote.

Look at how much better Trump is doing!!

I'm not sure why you think this is funny. Jobless rate is something you want LOW. 4.5% is significantly better than 9%.

It is a pretty weak metric though, would be nice to see the rate month by month for all the presidents, but given the data shown, Trump is no joke.

Wait you actually think the first 100 days has that large of effect? What that actually shows is democrats starting out with a less than stellar economy and it improving by the time the next president takes office.
(if the numbers are accurate since I didn't actually check)

Indeed. Fox News is basically insinuating that Trump halved unemployment in his first 100 days. The real reason for the numbers being what they are is that unemployment was worse when both of the Dem presidents came into office but had improved considerably by the time they had left. On the other hand Dubya got a great economy and employment numbers, but saw it take a nose dive by the time he departed.
