    Last year, but I'll admit I did only because my daughter was and I wanted to discuss it intelligently

    Lol, the left wishing and hoping for all out USA economic failure (Trump to fail) just shows their hate for the nation and the extent of their power hungry ambition. Pretty gross.

    who wants that? the point of the post is Trump knows it's coming and did the right thing. FYI a recession is not a failure, in case you don't understand basic economics.

    Cyclical yes. Bad economic policy or other macro economic conditions can contribute to either.

    Housing bubbles are generally domestic (amidst global economic conditions) and to a lessor extent may be regional... But the trend of millennials to not buy homes, especially when rates are at record low... Well that contributes, along with material costs and rising labor costs, to the bubbles.


    Re recession and depression. It's tricky, since there is no official definition of depression, but the punchline is at the bottom of the article.

    Took them an hour and a half to make it a headline, half way down the page. But they did spin it racist/ethnic slur when it is not.

    Kinda surprised Hannity backed him, it's no way for a TV personality to act, maybe Cuomo is antifa?

    The mooch has gone full retard, guessing he will be Germ's new favorite ex Trump cabinet member :lol:

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/13/media/chris-cuomo-racial-slur-video/index.html

    "
    A CNN spokesperson said Monday night that the network backed Cuomo.

    "Chris Cuomo defended himself when he was verbally attacked with the use of an ethnic slur in an orchestrated setup," the spokesperson said. "We completely support him."

    Cuomo also found support from an unlikely ally: his 9 p.m. cable news rival, Fox News host Sean Hannity.

    "I say good for @ChrisCuomo," Hannity tweeted. "He's out with his 9 year old daughter, and his wife, and this guy is being a jackass in front of his family. Imho Chris Cuomo has zero to apologize for. He deserves the apology."

    Anthony Scaramucci, who briefly served in the White House as communications director, but who recently turned on President Trump, also came to Cuomo's defense.

    Scaramucci said he was "very proud" of Cuomo, adding that he has been called "Fredo as well."
    "This happens all the time," Scaramucci tweeted. "It's quite racist."

    Trump, however, used the controversy to take yet another jab at CNN, the cable news network which he has repeatedly lashed out at for its coverage of his administration.
    "The truth hurts," Trump said in one of his tweets. "Totally lost it!"

    Leftist logic...: "I hate it therefore it's racist."

    So when one of their own loses control, they defend him. But when Trump fires back after being attacked all day long by hundreds and thousands of internet pukes, he is the racist. Unbelievable!

    I'm not a fan of Trump's twitter tirades,(Say that ten times fast :).) But he gets called much worse than "Fredo." So if we are expected to cut Cuomo some slack, I guess its only fair to do the same for The President.

    They need to change the heading of this article to: "Facial recognition software failed to identify 4 in 5 California lawmakers as criminals"

    Once again, your Congressional Dems setting the stage and tone for their base to start crying for a SCOTUS restructure, guessing more judges so the can stack it if regaining the White House was even remotely possible.

    Anything Turbin Durbin is for I am against.

    I have never seen a bigger group of sore losing cry babies.

    Elections have consequencies, yet, those consequences they cannot accept. It is all about a 2nd amendment case and nothing more. They are basically threatening the highest court of the nation, rule with us or else.

    They are bold, brash and mentally deficient.


    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/se...g-to-supreme-court-heal-or-face-restructuring

    Several high-profile Senate Democrats warned the Supreme Court in pointed terms this week that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to "heal" the court in the near future.

    The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a case related to a New York City gun law. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., referenced rulings by the court's conservative majority in claiming it is suffering from some sort of affliction which must be remedied.
