TDS In-game thread

The irrational, ignorant and moronic idiocy being regurgitated by the parrots suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome is rising to epidemic levels. It's so bad, there's a nationwide shortage of comfort dogs and the prices for newly renovated safe spaces are skyrocketing.

Employers like McDonald's are complaining that too many employees are calling in sick and / or crying on the job. Although they said those suffering from TDS tend to be their least productive employees anyhow.

The Red Cross and Salvation Army and asking people to stop sending blankets for homeless street squatters, but telling us there's a severe shortage and urgent need for handkerchiefs (and depends)

Adam Shitt For Brains is promising them once again he found the cure for their ailment, he's promising that his pending investigation into Trump's illegal collusion with Tribes of the Amazon will be grounds for impeachment. Barbanman & Duuuuhfeces are all giddy and shit once again (just say no people, Nancy giving brilliant advice)

Imagine being so fucking stupid, that after you spend millions of dollars asking foreign governments for dirt on a political opponent

Then using that dirt to obtain fraudulent warrants to spy on your political opponent

Then start a fictitious multi year investigation into your political opponent that costs tens of millions of dollars

Imagine doing all of that for three years and counting, and then calling it a crime if your political opponent asked somebody to look into your corruption. How can people be so hypocritical? How do they sleep at night? How can they be so dumb and so blind and so inconsistent?

All rhetorical questions, because TDS is the modern day black plague. Weak minds are easily inflicted, we need a cure people

A decent summation of the hearings and where we stand and why. NOT an over the top partisan take either

-----------------------------------------------
As it stands now, the entire effort is drenched in partisanship.Democrats on the Intelligence Committee have spent the vast majority of their impeachment hearings trying to persuade voters that bureaucrats believe Donald Trump is impulsive, self-serving, and misguided — all of which is unsurprising, and completely irrelevant to the matter at hand.

Quite often, in fact, the most breathless coverage of these tedious hearings has absolutely nothing to do with the allegedly impeachable offenses of quid pro quo or “bribery” — or whatever focus group-tested terminology Democrats are deploying today. Take the newest blockbuster witness, Fiona Hill, a Russia expert whose testimony nearly every outlet promised would be “explosive.” She “lashes Rs for siding w Russian theory instead of us on 2016,” Politico’s Jake Sherman informs us.

Having a witness repeat “Russia” a whole bunch of times in front of the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment panel isn’t nearly as fascinating or significant as reporters might imagine. Certainly, it has little to do with the supposed investigation undertaken to ferret out impeachable behavior.​

For one thing, Hill’s broader contention is dubious. While Trump hasn’t called out Russia for interference, various other GOP leaders have done so on numerous occasions, including in a Senate intel report. And a person can simultaneously believe that both the Russians and Ukrainians meddled in 2016 to various degrees (and the Iranians.)

Even if one doesn’t, though, failing to adopt the Democrats’ histrionic tone over the threat of Twitter bots is neither criminal nor unconstitutional. (Reacting to 2016 as if it were Pearl Harbor, in fact, is likely quite pleasing to Putin.) If selling conspiracy theories to the American public for partisan reasons were a crime, Representative Adam Schiff would be serving consecutive life sentences in Supermax.

Hill ended up making a compelling case that she, and others, disapproved of the White House’s haphazard handling of foreign policy. But she offered no evidence of “bribery.” Yesterday, Ambassador Gordon Sondland also offered compelling testimony that he disapproved of how the White House was conducted foreign policy over Ukraine. Yet, Sondland, like all other bombshell witness, offered no real evidence of any arrangement proving Trump traded on U.S. military aid for a Biden investigation. Indeed, Sondland basically conceded that he didn’t believe Trump cared one way or another whether Zelensky launched an investigation — Trump simply wanted the Ukrainian president to announce one.

None of this means it didn’t happen, it only means that the dramatic tone of the coverage is unwarranted and the hearings have been a waste of time. Everything we know now that matters we already knew when first reading the report of Trump’s call with Volodymyr Zelensky. Either you believe Trump should be impeached for asking a foreign leader to investigate his opponent’s son for corruption or you do not. It’s unlikely we will ever have any hard proof of whether or not there was a quid pro quo.
To me, there’s little question such a call from the president — whether he was explicitly favor trading or not — is at the very least unethical and at most an abuse of power. Is it impeachable? That’s a political decision. Because, no matter how hard liberals try and convince you otherwise, the Trump presidency doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Republicans believe they’ve been living life under two sets of rules. Considering what previous administrations have gotten away with — and what many of the people now clamoring for impeachment helped them get away with — it’s difficult to blame them. Perhaps if Democrats and operatives within government hadn’t spent three years cooking up a fantastical Manchurian Candidate conspiracy to delegitimize Trump this impeachment inquiry might be playing out differently. As it stands now, the entire effort is drenched in partisanship. Which makes it extremely unlikely that many voters will be pried from their previously held positions. Nothing that’s been said during these hearings changes that fact.

This!

What those suffering from TDS have told us over the years

Bloodhound Bob is going to bring down Trump / Old & confused man didn't touch POTUS
Michael Avenatti has the goods / the fraud is trying to stay out of jail
Adam Shitt has seen plenty evidence of Russian Collusion / hasn't provided any evidence and never shared with Bloodhound Bob
This is it, Manafort is going to flip
This is it, Cohen is going to flip
This is it, Flynn is going to flip (he actually talked with the Russians don'tchaknow)
This is it, Stone is going to flip
Manafort was charged on a Friday with "Crimes against the United States" (wow, that's a serious crime)
Stone was arrested with a commando raid on his home on a Friday (he would have walked in if they called him, butt the assholes need the drama)
Trump is going to resign to keep his kids out of jail.
Everyone around Trump is scared, because they know they're going to jail for a long long time
Hillary is going to be POTUS until 2024
The Republican Party is dead, they need to be more like Democrats
Brett Kavanaugh is a serial rapist
Trump is in trouble in Utah & Mississippi & Texas ......
Trump won't win any of Obama's states
Trump supporters are white supremacists
They riot
They attack conservative speakers
They're offended by red hats
They attack high school kids from KY, then call the smiling kids the problem
They burn flags
They need safe spaces
They destroy their neighbors property
They stand on street corners and scream at the sky
They want open borders
They think a solution to a 1,000,000 man refugee crisis is to bring 10,000 of them here
They cry fake tears

I can go on for ever, "sadly". AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S SAD TO SAY THAT THEY HAVE GOT TO BE THE DUMBEST PEOPLE TO EVER WALK THIS PLANET

WASTED DNA, WASTED OXYGEN, WASTED TIME (once again, no pun intended, honest)

What we're dealing with, DENIERS, oh the irony (they have so many flaws it's hard to comprehend)

The Post and Liberal Media Again Get It Wrong About Trump Economy


First, a full admission about this article: I originally sent a version of it to The Washington Post for publication, but for reasons that will become obvious as you read on, they rejected it.

Here's the backstory. Several weeks ago, I reported on the very large increase in median household incomes under Donald Trump. Based on Census Bureau monthly data, from January 2017, when President Trump entered office, through August 2019, middle-class household incomes rose from $61,000 to an all-time high of $66,000. These numbers are in 2019 dollars — that is, they are adjusted for inflation. Trump has repeatedly cited these numbers.

The left freaked out for understandable reasons. They are especially agitated because median household incomes have risen by $5,000 under Trump, compared to $1,100 in seven years under President Barack Obama. The data also undermines the case against Trump. Elizabeth Warren likes to say in every speech, "The middle class has been left behind by Trump's policies." That's flat-out wrong.

​

The self-proclaimed "fact-checkers" on the left went to work to try to discredit the numbers. This includes The Washington Post, PolitiFact and others.

As an aside, we have a big problem in America when the "fact-checkers" are all playing for the liberal team. A case in point is the liberal PolitiFact, which used the screaming headline "Trump's Shaky $5,000 Boast." The Post gave Trump two Pinocchios for claiming these income gains and said "Trump Inflates His Economic Record."

A standard complaint is that these numbers are assembled by a private organization called Sentier Research. But the two Sentier statisticians who analyzed this month's Census Current Population Survey — a gold mine of economic information — are probably the most knowledgeable people in the country on this data.

​

The two of them worked in the income division of the Census Bureau for a combined 40 years. They are scrupulously nonpartisan. "We just report the data," says Sentier's Gordon Green.

The Post challenged the reliability of this data — even though, on numerous occasions, the Post (and The New York Times) have cited Sentier's research. Apparently, Sentier is reliable when it tells the Trump-haters what they want to hear and wholly unreliable when the data supports him.

Admittedly, these monthly numbers are a first estimate of what's happening with incomes over time and up to the moment. They catch the trends over time. In the absence of this data, the latest income data is far lagged by at least a year, and so this tells us with about 90% accuracy what's going on in real time.
Next, the Post complained that the income data needs to be adjusted for inflation. Actually, all the Sentier data is inflation-adjusted

Next, they quoted Lou Jacobson of PolitiFact, who claimed that "even taking the expected 2019 statistics into account, the increase under Trump in the official data ... should be smaller than the increase Sentier's data shows." Sorry, Lou, we already know this was a fumble in your own end zone. The latest data that's come out just last week shows the income numbers rising to $5,200, not falling
.
Then, the skeptics whine that we shouldn't compare Trump's record with Obama's because Obama inherited a deep recession. That's true, of course, but incomes continued to plummet for two years after the Bush recession ended. Moreover, it was the Post that editorialized before the 2016 election that a Trump presidency risked ruining the U.S. economy and causing a "global financial calamity."

So it's more than a little hypocritical for the Post to now claim that the Trump boom they never saw coming is simply a continuation of the Obama recovery. Every fair-minded person knows that if the economy were in recession now, liberals would be shouting, "Aha! Trump's policies failed."

Here's one of my favorite ridiculous claims by the Post: In attacking Trump's "rumbling distortions" on income gains, a reporter noted that the middle class isn't doing that well because "on an inflation-adjusted basis, (American) families are earning just 2.7% more (in 2016) than they did in 1999."
But the flat family income between 1999 and 2016 is exactly what makes the Trump surge in incomes so impressive. Yes, it's true that incomes barely budged during the Bush and Obama years — up less than $1,200. Does Trump get the blame for that lousy record, too?
If the Post and others in the liberal media really cared about middle-class families, they'd be cheering these gains for scores of millions of households. But the left hates Trump, and so they feverishly root against the economy. It's not that these aren't facts. It's that the left doesn't want the good news to be true.
This is why the Post refused to allow me to correct the record. The grand irony in all of this is these are the people who assign Trump Pinocchios. He isn't the one guilty of rambling distortions.

This what we're fighting against

Misinformation
Refusal to present both sides
Liberal fact checkers checking themselves
Lies
Ignorance
Street Squatters & crack whores


the Trump economy is absolutely killing it, so they simply can't report it. One of the many reasons they keep creating crimes committed by the POTUS

Real wages are surging, yes surging, dwarfing the growth we saw under Eight Years of Suck

We're WINNING, it's tradition

And we have to drag them along, kicking and screaming like colicky babies

I'm amazed that even the halfway intelligent Democrats out there don't see through this complete clown-show their leaders are putting on.

Granted there are a lot of really, really fucking stupid Democrats, but even the intelligent ones are blinded by this charade.

I tend to believe those half way intelligent Democrats are aware. It’s so blatant obvious what’s going on here but they don’t care because they just want Trump out of office by any means necessary. Scary because they are willing to bypass due process and sacrifice democracy to accomplish their goal. It’s just sick they’d think what they are doing won’t be used against them if they were able to accomplish overriding democracy and justice. By then the betrayal would be so bad and irreversible we would only be left with ‘see I told you so’ as they are pleading for their lives to be saved from totalitarian communist regimes.

They are blind to the consequences of their actions. They live and react in the moment and lack the ability to forward think.

The intellectually inferior crowd is all excited now because an Obama judge ruled the White House attorney has to testify about obstruction of justice during the investigation of .... wait for it.... RUSSIAN COLLUSION..

No, I'm not joking, this is meaningful in libtardville

So let's think about this a little

1) Obama appointment = political hack who's decision will be reversed by higher courts. This is the game the fucking idiots play

2) We already know there was no Russian Collusion, their 2.5 year investigation that cost tens of millions of dollars already proved that. So the street squatters and crack whores who've obviously destroyed their brains actually think POTUS can be impeached for a process crime they created (yes, that would be their argument although I know they understand don't that)

3) I hope this shit just keeps going and going, because the mental midgets are too fucking stupid to know they're absolutely killing themselves in the political arena

The Trump Tsunami is coming, destroying democrats in 2020

Can't wait

I look forward to the liberal meltdown and impending civil war after Trumps re-election. It will be glorious. I want to see more videos of Antifa members getting the snot kicked out of them.

More jobs, more growth, higher income.....

The circus seals' heads are exploding, which really isn't a significant event

Jobs? More jobs? I fucking hate Trump

Where's eight years of suck when you need it?
