Lots of previous Presidents have prayed for that sort of stagnation!
Just as a heads up: you may be dealing with someone with no idea of what a 401K is, or is at least counting on someone else to take care of them in their later years, and very likely tomorrow as well!

None of you guys will say exactly what not "forgiving" half the country would look like, so it makes sense to worry.

Many people on this board have defended harassing people in restaurants, etc., and made light of other political violence, so it stands to reason if you're being "unforgiving," that kind of thing could escalate.

But if you'd like to explain exactly what it means not to "forgive" your countrymen, please do.

They did explain what they want to do. Stick us in concentration camps like the Nazi's did. They call us Nazi's. Isnt that ironic. They want to cleanse the world of us undesirables. Just like the Nazi's wanted to cleanse the world of undesirables.

The DJIA is but 30 of the thousands of companies stocks traded on the NYSE and NASDAQ.
Over the first 2 quarters of this year my investments have increased a total of 9.4%.
It appears that those who make poor choices simply want to place blame on someone else rather than take responsibility and learn from their mistakes.
My annual returns since Trump was elected have been greater than when Obama was President, but my returns during Obama were not bad either.
We each need to start placing blame or credit where it belongs, more often on self than another.
My advise would be to avoid the stock market for those who don't understand how it works.

Trump took the oath in January 2017.

I read your reply...Thank you.
I also forgive those who would twist a successful presidency into a failure, because they didn't to do everything right. Do you know of any President without shortcoming(s)? Who was it?

I expect 'shortcomings'. But every single president has had character, some sense of decency. I can find moments when they each sought to do the right thing even at some risk. . They had different sets of values, but they all had a set of values that guided some of their decisions. I watched Trump very very carefully to find a moment, a single instance when he strived to do the morally right thing or set forth a moral tone to his leadership without being bullied into it. Not one instance have I yet identified. This President is amoral, totally without a moral compass or any principles that guides him. That is one hell of a 'shortcoming'.

Now I figured that out by watching the man campaign for the office. I noticed it during the primaries and I noticed it during the general election.

There is a difference between purposely lying and saying things that aren't factually correct.

Correct. For example, saying something that's factually not correct is a mistake. But those with TDS call Trump a liar...Just as they call Trump a liar for Trump changing his mind or for an issue that hasn't come to fruition.

And POLITIFACT's reporting is biased and POLITIFACT cannot do valid research on Trump because POLITIFACT has TDS.

Yep, totally flat for nearly 2 full years after the sugar high. (slightly down actually)

There is nothing health about an artificial spike caused by an irresponsible tax cut followed by nearly 2 years of completely flat.

This is very TRumpian, Problem here is that he can't declare bankruptcy.

And that is what this is, like he did in business. A quick cash grab done by unsound methods followed by bankruptcy.

How does the USA go bankrupt and walk away from it's debt this cash grab was originated from?

Thee is a reason not one reputable bank in the country would not lend TRump money.

Will you people forget the cult and think for yourselves? It's all as plain as day.

I doubt that many on "the left" voted in the republicant primary. Trump ran as a populist outsider and somehow managed to get folks to believe that he could become an effective POTUS without the support of most career politicians from either party.

Unless the POTUS has the ability to herd congress critters not much (if any) major legislative change is going to result. We still have a borrow and spend federal "budget" and endless wars on poverty, drugs and terror gobbling up trillions while the nation's infrastructure continues to crumble. Allowing (demanding?) more be done by EO and executive rule changes while congress critters are re-elected at a rate of over 90% for doing little (or nothing) to address "issues" makes no sense at all.

If Trump is unable to sway congresscritters, I suggest an overhaul of members of congress since Trump seems to be more the one who has the interests of the country at heart. Term limits for all the bastards.

I think these neighbors should just ignore the ranting from people who see the President as an orange monster.

Why would anyone pay attention to such gullible rubes?

Getting congress critters to favor term limits is harder than getting them to tax as much as they spend. The problem with congress critters (term limitted or not) is that (as a mere voter) you can vote for (or against) only 3 out of the herd of 535 while those with gobs of campaign cash (or jobs to offer them or their friends/relatives) can legally bribe any (or all) of them.

Two wrongs don't make a (W)right...Unless it's Rev. Wright...It's just as wrong for you to scream and lie about Trump as it was for others to scream and lie about BO.

So, you admit you scream and lie about Trump? Why? For revenge?

Hillary lost because of Hillary so yeah the primary voters share part of the blame however, the people who support him and supported him in the republican primary deserve the most blame. Is the stock market the only thing you care about?

Maybe the fact that safety for legal Americans (and illegals), for examples, is put on the backburner for illegal criminals is one reason for voting for Trump.

Then I must not be a "lefty" in this matter at all. Not that your label means anything anyway.

If you believe man is the main or only causer of climate change, for example, you embrace anger and strife because AGW climate change hasn't even been remotely proved.
If you believe in restricting guns or eliminating guns, for example, you are embracing anger and strife 'cause even eliminating guns won't stop violent deaths from occurring and guns aren't the biggest killers and maimers in the US.
If you believe tariffs are a bad thing but the Green New Deal is a good thing you embrace anger and strife 'cause both tariffs and the deal will disrupt economies and, apparently, you like disrupting economies for environmentalism but not for American middle class jobs.

I have not mentioned any of that in any post of mine on this site. If you want to call me out for something, make sure it is something that I have actually said.

You don't believe in AGW climate change? Or the Green New Deal? Or placing stricter restrictions on guns? Maybe you aren't a lefty as you claim?
