If Trump becomes a lame duck president....?

Is that her name? I thought it was Tara?

Either way; READY!

Ya know… There are so many lunatics running around right now I’d find that funny. Except there are too many lunatics.

Let’s see some data that demonstrates this period was any worse than any other period in the past fifty years.

Hmmm.

Personal Protection and what percent of our pharmaceuticals are produced by our enemy, China.

Why did that happen? Care to pontificate?

What pandemic have we had in the last 50 years that shut our economy down?

Hmmm?

So no data…

Just more rhetorical questions you would rather I did not answer.

My question to you was not rhetorical. Do you have any facts to back up your assertions?

[jcrandall]

So far it’s resulted in massive expansion of big government and runaway spending, so I guess all sides lose.

@H_Arendt

So you are saying, offshoring of jobs began in the middle of the Clinton Presidency in response to income tax rates.

Can you back that up with any data or is this just a case of “Democrat. Bad.”

We are talking about a a. trend in globalization of jobs that began in the seventies.

Hmm.

Think for a moment, will you?

Why did jobs and corporations go overseas?

If jobs and corporations accelerated going overseas in Clinton’s term, wouldn’t that result in less money to the Treasury? Yet we saw an increase and our deficit shrink. Odd how the data contradicts your premise.

This is sound advice, but its utterly useless in the current situation where people and businesses don’t have the time to accumulate capital.

It is sound advice.

No, it isn’t useless advice.

If some enterprise hasn’t done this then they are a flash in the pan.

They will reopen.

Everyone needs to save a minimum of three months. Save it. Bank it. After that, discretionary spending is your oyster.

Is personal responsibility so hard these days?

The current system does not incentivize enterprises to save and hoard cash.

[TommyLucchese]

@DMK

Of course they are.

Question is? Do you trust yourself or do you trust government?

Perhaps you trust yourself only with the safety net of government?

Many do the former and not the latter which, IMO is the way to go.

I don’t understand what any of this has to do with the election?

And the fact that I provably can survive a near collapse of civil order what doesn’t change my liking for a comfortable existence.

How many times do you have to flip a coin to figure out with 95% confidence you’ll get a roughly even distribution of heads vs tails?

IIRC 1,068 times produces a confidence interval of 95%, which is why you’ll see that number of around a thousand in a reliable poll.

There’s basically no chance the Republicans take back the House in 2020, so that’s throwing good money after bad. With all the retirements and ■■■■■ they’re probably gonna lose more seats.

True. Democrats never retire. Other than work for CNN what else can they do? They cling to power until they croak.

[westaussie]

I trust you gave it the appropriate response.

@AlexMcAlpine

and…what do you think will happen if Trump is voted out of office entirely?

If Donald loses it will be the End Times for all that is good, capitalist, holy, macho, charitable, entertaining, honest, intellectual, and pure. Buy canned goods, ammo and gold NOW. There will be no escape.

@DMK

@altair1013

The same thing that happens when any politician loses? Don’t try to predict. Y’all haven’t gotten many right so far.

I have a lot of faith in my fellow Americans.

By American I mean those who love freedom, our way of life and our Constitution.

Then why would they vote for trump?

[Ben_Natuf]

thank Newt.

Clinton had little to do with it.

@altair1013

Most people have no clue that Biden wants to raise their taxes. The media is protecting him. That protection can’t last forever. His handlers have kept him quiet. That will end when the Covid hysteria dies down.

Even moderate Joe Biden would significantly increase taxes on the wealthy if...

[Smyrna]

@AlexMcAlpine

So - what do you think will happen if Trump loses the House

I will be very, very, very disappointed in my fellow Americans. After that…I’ll go my way, give my best and do as I’ve always done…with the intent of preparing financially for the doom and gloom that is coming.

[Paul_Thomson]

MSM thinks we all forget pre 2016 polling.

[komobu]

@AlexMcAlpine

Biden has a 5-point lead over Trump in national polls.

I admit I don’t put much faith in polls since they only talk to about a thousand people, but there ya go.

Hillary Wins…

[merickson]

@calirepub

Trump is never going to be a lame duck president.

President for life?
Trump is going to be a lame duck president, either in 6 months or 4 1/2 years. Or are you saying something truly radical about the man who thinks his authority is absolute.

[Kevhead]

@DMK

Cancel all debt to China because they have been an absolute net negative.

Then every country can cancel their debt with us as well if they choose . Right?

[AmusedObserver]

@DMK

I highly doubt that many who would vote for Biden even know what day they are supposed to show up for.

So, polls don’t mean a heck of a lot.

Those invested in the economy will show. The rest will stay at home and play Call of Duty or whatever floats their boat for the day.

Libs is stooooooopid. And they’re unemployed.

And they’re elitists, too!!!

[Kevhead]

@DMK

The rest will stay at home and play Call of Duty

You got a problem with call of duty?
