    True
    Otoh i admit being biased against hitler because there are lots of things about what hitler did that i do not like. Likewise imo there are lots of things that trump does that causes the media to be biased against trump

    Your missing my point. So what if Trump is a drama queen - this does not mean the media has to talk about it 23 of the 24 hours in a day - 90% of every segment - the rest being some other fluff - while things are going on in the rest of the world.

    Stuff like Obama - leading a global effort involving 20 or more nations - to arm and support a radical Islamist proxy army - over a period of roughly 5 years.

    how much discussion has been devoted to this topic ? War Crimes, Crimes against humanity - of which we will be found guilty -as the history book has already been written.

    In fact - we are currently under investigation for - War Crimes/ humanity - violations in Yemen ...

    All the News that's "fit" to print.

    Not on single economic metric has changed slope or direction since Trump took office. Excluding of course the national debt.

    Paranoia is essential if one is to have blind faith in Fake Don, and the widely diversified media must be irrationally savaged as uniformly nefarious and antagonistic to Trumpery.

    "They're all being mean to me!" is Cry Baby Don's constant snivel, and his worshipers pleasure themselves with that persecution complex.

    This is true. I don't trust Trump 100%. I just trust him more than anyone else inside the belted swamp.

    The key to this is worship. Barack Obama is the nearest thing that most of these people have to a living deity. Huge numbers of them -- and especially media wonks -- pretty much did worship him for eight years. It was both revolting and revealing. The problem is that at its root core humanity needs the psychological comfort of worship and therefore there is an ever present danger of transferring that need to a living human being once one begins traveling down a certain path.

    If you recall all the old films about Hitler, Obama caused his minions to operate almost the same.

    This is a good test for Democrats.

    Name any republican president that you honestly liked and believe he did tons of good for America?

    imo Obama was the most talented and skilled elite man, both as a politician and as an orator, of this century.

    I was a student of public speaking when in high school. Obama would get a C grade at most.

    Why are Democrats still so loyal to Obama?

    When his recording device that contains a speakers speech failed, he was reduced to stumbling as if the speech belonged to some other person. He could not hold it together.

    Then there is this man.

    I was not captivated by Obama, but clearly he was extremely skilled and gifted. I got to give the man his due.

    He had the skill of a reader. When his reading device failed, he melted down.

    National Debt Under Obama: Three Ways to Measure

    https://www.thebalance.com › national-debt-under-obama-3306293

    The U.S. debt increased $9 trillion during the 8 years Obama was in office. .

    Which president put us in the most debt?
    Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman led to the largest increase in public debt. Public debt rose over 100% of GDP to pay for the mobilization before and during the war. Public debt was $251.43 billion or 112% of GDP at the conclusion of the war in 1945 and was $260 billion in 1950.
    History of the United States public debt - Wikipedia


    For Bush it was only 5 trillion. We can't actually measure Trump yet since he has not concluded his first term.

    Yes the deficit blew up under Obama. A simple combination of the Bush tax cuts and the Bush recession. Not the same as Trump blowing up the deficit to provide a big payday for the rich.

    There are issues about the economy that matter more than tax cuts or hikes. Obama accounted for roughly 9 trillion in deficits. And there was no such thing as the Bush recession. But historically it is true that Bush handed money to the auto industry that while it did not improve sales, did supply them with capital to evade following the path of American TV industry. Trump has no tools to blow up the deficit. By my saying Obama accounted for 9 trillion is not me actually placing blame, but admitting he was president and signed the final laws on funds spent. As did Bush. Bush signed all tax laws with the exception of the last one. Bush met with Obama once Obama was elected and the two men agreed formally that Bush would quit his part in setting the 2009 budget so that ahead of time, Obama could do it so he could get blessed or hit with failure for the 2009 budget. But the public believing it was the Bush 2009 budget was misled by the Media so they blamed the Obama fiasco on Bush. As to the payday for the rich. All of their income was earned by them. There is no natural amount for the rich to pay. When the income tax law was enacted in 1913, then the natural amount for the rich to pay was 5 percent only. Today Democrats shoveled so much dung at us a lot of people assume the reich do not deserve to have any income.

    What matters more than tax cuts or hikes? First example is the ACRS. It amounts to a proposal to the business plus the public that should they invest, they get a faster write off for depreciation. It worked well for Reagan and really explains his economy rather than trickle down. And that is not really an economy ever explained by Reagan. This was laid on him by those hating his guts.

    Also the concept in economics labeled the velocity of money truly is a driver engine that causes all taxpayers to add more to the revenues to the government. But notice politicians never mention this to you.

    How did you come to the conclusion there was no Bush recession?

    The title of Bush recession means the cause was Bush. As few Democrats admit the 2009 Budget was the Obama budget, I am under no duty to falsely blame Bush.

    And yes the cause was Bush’s failure to do anything about the out of control mortgage securities market which nearly imploded the world financial system. One years budget had nothing to do with anything.
