Predict the election

Here is a prediction.

If the republicans keep the house the stock market will go up.

Main street needs the stock market to go up.

My prediction is that my supply of give-a-shits was completely exhausted some time back.

Looks like I'm not alone.

Confirmed.    

Sadly interesting how things have changed here since 2012.  The Politics section was pretty damn lit from about 2004 up to the 2012 election.  Rollicking and contentious but with a lot of legitimate argument and debate and a whole bunch of contributors on both sides of stuff.  And a lot of fun.  Completely evaporated after BO's re-election.

Facebook stock peaked at $217.50 and now it is $144.22

a bargain.

I predict Facebook will innovate itself to a better future.

The following is an example of my sarcasm directed toward the liberals.

A long comprehensive investigation is necessary to seek

the truth about how Russia was able to interfere with

the midterm elections and install a majority of democrats

back in the house.

Since I'm here, here's a short list of some of the long-departed folks who were a big part of making this place so much fun, in random order:

• Kingbee
• TexasWahini
• Tova7
• Myrrander
• Mumblefratz
• Gene Nash
• Jill User
• Dabe
• Blogic
• DrMiler
• Moderateman
• BakerStreet
• ParaTed2K
• Dr Guy
• Paladin77
• San Chochino
• Bahu Virupaksha
• Col Gene
• Taltamir
• Stevendedalus
• Lulapilgrim
• BoobzTwo
• Jafo (even)(though hardly departed, long or otherwise, except for his mind)

Does Big Tech lean liberal? Some would say yes.

Are the people who run Big Tech extremely smart? Some would say yes.

Are we to believe that the Russians spread propaganda in 2016

using Big Tech to beat Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? Some would say yes.

What was Big Tech's answer to this problem? Ban Alex Jones.

Is Big Tech run by geniuses?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's "New green economy"

They could compromise and give us the border security Speaker of the House Pelosi wants

and the border wall President Trump wants.

The hordes that are trying to bring down President Trump don't have the

brains of a toe nail and they are the ones committing the crimes.

If President Trump endorses the Democrat candidate in 2020

his detractors will have to vote for President Trump.

The democrats say we don't need a wall at the border, it won't be effective

and it is a waste of money,

yet the democrats are a wall.

President Trump knows why Mitt Romney lost the presidential election

which is why President Trump won the presidential election.

Alexandra Pelosi was asked about her mother's leadership style Wednesday.

"She'll cut your head off and you won't even know you're bleeding,

That's all you need to know about her."

She wouldn't lie to the little people about helping them, would she?   

Is this an example of one of the intellectual law school graduates that is going to

lead our country into the future?

‘We’re gonna impeach the motherf-----’: Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Trump

“This administration has taken a strong stand to stiffen the protection of our borders,” President Bill Clinton said in 1996. “We are increasing border controls by 50 percent.”

Although wall construction began during Bill Clinton’s administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) built most of the approximately 700 miles of fencing after the Secure Fence Act of 2006 was passed. Sen. Hillary Clinton voted in favor of that Republican-introduced bill, as did 26 other Democrats. “I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in,” she commented at one 2015 campaign event, “and I do think you have to control your borders.”

I have decided to run for governor of California.

If elected this is what I am going to do.

First if you want to come live in California from any where on earth

or the universe, just send us the government of California a post card and tell us you're coming.

You will be a citizen automatically when we receive your card.

Once you are a citizen of California this is what you will receive.

Free travel to California, cradle to grave medical care on us.

A brand new Tesla , free charging for life and a five thousand square foot house

anywhere in California you like with free utilities,sewer,water,TV cable,phone and Internet.

You will also receive an allowance of $6000.00 per month for food and clothing.

You will receive 365 days paid vacation per year and 365 paid days sick leave.

You will receive $10000.00 per month allowance for discretionary spending,

and more that I don't have time to list here.

Now the easy part, how to pay for it.

We will send the whole bill to Elon Musk,Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg and they can figure it out.

Remember to vote for Iben.

Reply # 23 is a joke.   

I didn't spend 8 years trying to sabotage President Obama,

I think presidents should be allowed to lead.

Half the people in the country sabotaging President Trump every day doesn't help the country.

I say give him his chance until his 8 years are up or until he is voted out.
