    It's no worse than those that pretend to sit on the fence and point fingers and throw rocks at that dead horse.

    It's a rant thread. Let me rant, Covey. I'll throw as many rocks as I need, you guys keep arguing. It's priceless entertainment.

    Sexually conservative, LMAO. No I am just not an ass clown who lies and cheats on his wife(wives if your President Adulterer) , but hey whatever floats your boat to make you feel better. I am proud I took a stand and demand better from a President. That's just me.

    It's not the media tweeting out about tariffs, it's not the media that over stimulated an already hot market, it's not the media pushing us to PGDP, which a rescission follows 100% of the time. So this hick up is Trumps market, and unless he starts changing what comes out of his Adulterer mouth, will remain flat I fear. If he does push growth pass PGDP which he stated the economy could grow 4%, we will indeed have a recession.

    Yes I can say when he does good and I can speak up when he's does not so good, it's called not being a lemming.

    Excuse me, I have to hunker down for the caravan of immigrants headed my way;)

    That sounds pretty sexually conservative to me but whatever definition floats your boat. I can demand better of a guy doing an otherwise pretty damn good job in a really difficult position thanks to idiots in charge for the last few decades. Honestly I'm not proud of his personal record with marriages and women but it happens and as a single guy never married, I don't have much room to judge. My parents were both divorced once before they met and have had rough patches themselves...it happens.

    No, it's the media constantly yammering about it and fear mongering by speculating about the dire consequences they imagine rather than being optimistic.
    I'm not going to argue your economic theory. I don't know enough about it to pretend to put up an argument, I stay out of the markets except some of the commodity stuff. Even my hypocrisy only goes so far. We'll see what happens with that.

    It's called just being a Gentleman, something taught to be by my Grandfathers. One married 62 years, the other 55. My parents have both been divorced twice, so there's that;) I always remember these lines from my Grandfathers, "Always keep your word to your wife, always respect her as an equal to you in your marriage" Then my other Grandfather "Jr you may wear the pants, but she wears the panties"

    Words to live by.

    We can agree on that much. My parents had their 50th anniversary last October. Moms parents were married almost 70 years and dads parents were married 38 I think, grandad passed at 62 if I recall correctly.
    It's not that I agree with or support infidelity at all but it's a fact of life in many cases. I have a hard time holding much of a grudge over it. I guess it depends on the circumstances also. That characteristic would be a consideration in someone I was looking to hire but it's something I could certainly overlook in the right circumstances and hope they are able to see their way to improve themselves past it.

    The funny part is, our politicians have done such a terrible job since who knows when that we celebrate like crazy when a cheating, corrupt business man like Donald Trump goes to Washington and actually does what he says. The man has made his fair share of mistakes, and I don't judge him because have never been tempted like that man has. Despite that, he is way better then all those whitewashed politicians! Its pretty funny to think about.

    It's even greater when you realize nobody on the internet or in public office is worth one single crimping of one's sphincter in moral outrage. Don't be so angry all the time, Germ.

    I had all the holes in my old boat filled in with a big welder, sanded off the surplus material, then went thru 3 grits on the wheel. Wet sanded and all the wet sanding did was expose the fact that I have hours of wet sanding. Last weekend and during the week I spent 12 hours and only got half the boat done. Going to take a lot of beer.

    you're right- the CBO is always fake news. It always underestimates everything. Based on their track record, more like 7 years.

    I always laugh when left tries to use the rights verbage against them..... It always amounts to a image of two children fighting in the school yard. One says you're stupid and the best retort the other has is.... No you're stupid.

    seriously though, take the time to click the link and do the math. The CBO report was created to JUSTIFY Pres. Trump's proposed DACA bill; which doubles the number of current DACA recipients and their immediate families (legalizing them.) The article points out that using the CBOs numbers; at current illegal immigrant populations, illegal immigration rates + their subsequent birth rates their birth rate numbers will exceed that of legal residents within a decade. So best case scenario; unless illegal immigration rates (and current illegal populations) are greatly diminished then we have 10 years before their anchor baby rates outnumber those born to legal residents. Fact. Go ahead and shoot the messenger but the truth lives on; albeit unreported.

    You can quibble with CBOs' numbers (and I almost always do) but they always, always underestimate costs actually incurred to us citizens. These specific numbers are reported in a way to justify "legalizing" dreamers so that their children are not considered "anchor babies"; in other words the report is written to basically say "legalize this criminal activity so we don't have so many criminals."

    Personally, I dislike the President's (worse than) cave on DACA. There are other ways to handle it and do so humanely and more fairly to all. So spare me the "fake news" crap and not only take the time to click the CBO link but read between the lines.

    Make all the snarky comments you want Germ, but the fact is over 300-500k people per year illegally invade this country, without terrorist security vetting, criminal background checks, or health inspection at all. We have no idea where these people came from, what their beliefs are, what education they have, what diseases they may carry, or what job skills they have. We have no idea what if any benefit they are to our country at all...And they come here and have babies. Lots of them. Not to mention the 300-500k or so that come in on visas and never leave. Those are real numbers.

    Take 15 minutes to read it. Then take an hour to fact check it. It will save us, and you as well, the next 12 months of you popping off about things of which you have absolutely no knowledge.

    I love beer. I’ve been trying to age some beer to see if it’s worth it or not. I aged an imperial stout (kbs) for 2 years and finally cracked it tonight. I ended up pouring it, not because it was bad - but because it was too strong. Now I’m feel awful for doing that.
