Trumps has almost one million fewer new jobs in his first 29 months than Obama had in his last 29.
2018 was the first year since 2008 the S&P 500 lost value for the year.

If you export enough of the dollar, meaning that capitalists abroad trade in it, it makes it basically impossible for other currencies to fill that void. So while the debt is piling up, so is the commitment to the dollar. Eventually we will have to rain it in, if for nothing more than to avoid default, but we'll have those lenders by the balls as they're too far entrenched to quite trading with the dollar. It could get a bit messy though.
Most of the US Debt is held domestically.
It should be pointed out that the debt created over most of the past decade was really cheap. Interest rates were nearly zero.

China and Japan own about 5% each.
The largest single investor in US debt is the social security fund.

Wtf is Ireland doing loaning money?
We had half of Ireland invade Australia looking for a job 8-9 year ago. I thought they were broke?
US Treasurys are the safest way to invest money with a guaranteed return. They own treasuries the same reason mutual funds and social security does.

And you say we were supposed to sit by and let the Soviets spread communism.
Yup. We literally were the allies of the soviets and LET them have a third of Europe. Our interventions mostly failed anyways. We really did a bad job of preventing it.
I doubt Cuba would still be communist if we had just let them be instead of waging economic war against the country for 60 years. Other nations don’t appreciate “freedom” when it’s imposed.

(note - I DON'T think Hillary was responsible for the deaths in this article, I'm just posting this in anticipation of someone coming back with something similar happening in the Soviet Union)
Right wing Hillary conspiracy theory nonsense has nothing to do with the fact that Putin has opponents, detractors, defectors and nosy journalists murdered.

Something is going on in Russia. Apparently they have had a series of major military accidents, including what is likely the accidental detonation of a low yield nuclear device or the explosion of an experimental nuclear powered rocket. Russia is not being forthcoming about what is really going on.

Shouldn't the polls also put the Electoral College into the equation when releasing their results? Or are those "facts" irrelevant in your opinion?
Trump won PA, MI and WI by less than a percent each. You can’t accurately predict the electoral college when a difference of less than a percent means a huge swing in the electoral vote count.

Trump just called off a scheduled meeting with the Prime Minister of Denmark because she refused to sell Greenland to him.

Are there any Jewish republicans in Congress? I think they’re all Democrats. I guess they’re all disloyal 🤦♂️
A nice Jewish lady who lives directly across the street from ivanka and Jared gave me a nice “hate has no place here” poster when I was walking my friends dog and asked her what everyone in the neighborhood thought of the Trumps moving into the hood.

The GOP is drowning in a demographic tsunami. The party will not exist in 8 years. The only moves they have left are tweaking the system and benefiting from electoral affirmative action schemes like gerrymandering, the electoral college and the senate. They lost so many governorships this last election the democrats will be able to gerrymander them out of reach of the house. The two republican presidents this century both lost the popular vote. Desperation moves like this are all they have left.

The labor department overcounted new jobs by 500,000 last year. Trump is seriously lagging behind Obama’s performance now
