Trump fires FBI Director James Comey

[Jones]

I think you got my point and just giving me a hard time.
I enjoyed the back and forth but I'm not sure about that pedestal I had you on before if you are serious.

Over the last 4 years my portfolio has doubled, I'll take that any day of the week so yes I am serious. Maybe the things you're saying about the market vis-a-vis Obama sound reasonable in the abstract, but when you look at what actually happened there's clearly a disconnect. If it doubles again in the next 4 years I might even vote for Trump assuming he's not in jail.

Just saw a goofy and amusing rant by some guy named Toobin ... I think he had been doobin!

Doobin Toobin

He's an angry little fella.

I'd be a little concerned about the deficit in all this "friendliness to growth". It's the one thing that republicans completely forget about as soon as they're in power .

Are you trying to be funny?

Maybe, maybe not

I would think everyone's investments did well under Obama ... could have done a lot better.

I don't know ... can you be more specific?

Business and the stock market will do great. The deficit will explode. A few will become even more immensely wealthy and the rest of us will be chided for "burdening future generations with debt". Almost like we've been down this road before...

Trump's deputy attorney general reportedly threatened to resign after being painted as the mastermind behind Comey's firing

Reportedly? Why don't they just ask him instead of relying on rumors?

Because real news is not exciting.

"Reportedly" @Monkey Butt has a statue of Gen Sherman in his front yard.

Keep your day job ... if you can't see "lying with numbers" in your explanation.
Your's a very unsophisticated way to look at investment.

one problem about your investments, you can look this up to. The market run up was from quatative easing. Therefore it was an artificial run. Go back and look up the quartly GDP numbers and they dont match up. 1 percent to 2 percent growth is not normal after that kind of recession

 

[MAKAVELI]

1 percent to 2 percent growth is not normal after that kind of recession

That's because it wasn't a normal recession.

 

[Jkloc420]

That's because it wasn't a normal recession.

the recession in the 80's after the carter years was 30 times worse. Unemployment was much higher, not to mention inflation
