Trump claims "Historic Growth in Q2." Ranks 5th after the top 5 Obama Quarters

[HomerJS]

Just like Trump's mail order bride, taking credit for things put in place by Obama

With this super hyper accelerated economy and the fiscally responsible party in total control we're going to get a balanced budget right?

You don’t understand what you’re linking and whoever made that collage is incredibly dishonest. They said SUSTAINED 3% growth was not going to happen, not that no one quarter would exceed 3%. They also happen to be right.

This last quarter saw absolutely massive fiscal stimulus combined with frontloaded purchases due to a possible trade war. On no planet does that indicate that sustained 3% growth is likely going forward.

Whoever made the image you linked is an idiot or a liar. This is the problem with conservative media, they are actively attempting to deceive people at all times.

Yep, those analysts were discussing a sustained growth rate. Yet even if they turn out to be incorrect say, over the 2018 year, that would be a misprediction of future growth. Economic mispredictions occur all the time. They're almost the rule rather than the exception.

If is, of course, another thing entirely to misstate past growth and it's relationship to present growth, because those are known quantities. It's called lying.

You should take that stand-up routine on the road.

I might be interested in the GDP if our workers enjoyed a share of it. As it stands now, those increases are for Wall Street's amusement.

They get to open another factory overseas, and raise their bonuses by millions for each one. Yay them?! I'd say our workers will see crumbs from this, but that's unfair to the crumbs. Truth is it almost all goes to the top. Enough wealth to make every family worth million(s). Every single one. But not enough returned to labor to see them make rent or keep a savings.

The gap is almost immeasurable. Unfathomable to comprehend by the sheer scale of it. But if you cannot see it in the faces and activities of your fellow Americans, you can still see the graph.

This. Gdp up? Good for the tippy top...still squeezing the plebes for all their worth.

As always, lacking contest.

What is funny (more funny?) is how many people claimed 3% was never going to happen.

If you are going to try and call someone out, call the other side out for the same thing. Although, based on your incredible bias and agenda of the past, that will not happen.

Honest question: How did you get to be so dumb?

Whataboutism fail.

Answer the question. The Podesta group was an influential lobbying group that swam in the same Ukranian oligarch circles as Manafort. They fell within the scope of the Mueller investigation and folded like a cheap deck of cards once it became apparent that they had no influence left to peddle.

The best people lol

Irrelevant to the topic, and the thread. Brought up to deflect. Classic Whataboutism.

I wasn’t the first to mention Podesta. Water boys, cheerleaders and hypocrites tend to throw the whataboutism flag...often

Youre sure? Will you hold your breath and wait?

The topic of Russia was imported into this thread by dpphantom with the following moronic post which wasn't even a reply to anyone else in the thread:

Hillary is really the one in collusion with russians. nothing illegal but if u want a russian story, go after that one. trump has no collusion story.

and riding Obama coattails...really?? Obama and Bush before him had the worst economic performance in a very long time. 16 years of agonizing, painful economic activity. Way too early to say anything about Trump so we'll see what the next year or two looks like.

The entire issue is off topic for the thread.

Like I said, faux

Nice to know you defend someone going after someone's family. Speaks volumes about you. Have a nice weekend.

Now you're just making stuff up, because your partisan hackery is blatant.

You do know that the brother that heads the Podesta group is estranged from the other Podesta that you are currently salivating over, and desperately trying to link to but but but but but HILLARY, right?

And yet you stepped in it, all the same, to fulfill your roll.

Those kopeks come cheap these days

What did I make up? LOL and since when is evaluating a man based on how he speaks of another man's family make that partisan? I made a reasonable comment about the subject in the thread.

Youre just pulling shit out of your ass and creating drama that isnt there.

Remind me about what I "made up"

Lol. What about Hillary (every conservatives favorite whataboutism)

Your guys have been pulling this shit for 25 years.

Perhaps it is not fair to hold a radio talk-show host responsible for the several idiocies of his listeners, so let's consider Limbaugh himself. Here is a Limbaugh joke: "Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat. Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?" And he puts up a picture of Chelsea Clinton. Chelsea Clinton is 13 years old.

Here is another joke told by Limbaugh on the air: He, Rush Limbaugh, gets onto an elevator. The only other passenger is Hillary Clinton. She tears off all her clothes, throws herself on the floor and begs him, "Rush, make a woman out of me." So Limbaugh tears off all his clothes, throws them at Clinton and says, "Fold those."

But glad to see you taking the high road here. ...
