Are you and Oliver suggesting that Trump and his 30 days in charge are responsible for the unemployment and murder rates?
The point is that the murder rate actually isn't the highest it's been in 45 years. Unemployment isn't at 40%. That's the point. It wasn't about who is responsible or not responsible for the actual rates of either. The point is that Trump is lying about the rates.
Just like CNN's and everyone else's election polls I guess. Point is, I don't trust polls or %'s whether they come from Trump or the Media. They will all proclaim numbers that make their point. The fact that others do just proves their morons and the country is full of red and blue morons.
I'm so informed that my mind is so clear. It's absolutely amazing right now because the masses are confused and hysterical while I'm calmly sitting, enjoying my crystal clear awareness.
That is what trump said which isn't true. Murder rates have decreased a lot since the 80s which is when it was at its peak. The u6 is ~9% which isn't close to 35-40%.
Actually they will claim what accurate data tells them. It may or may not fit their point. Believing scientifically collected data doesn't make anyone a moron.
The bit about the echo chamber is as hilarious as it is frightening. Here's the modern conservative newscycle. [Rightwing circlejerk publishes clickbait rumor/lie as fact] [Basso probably retweets it a million times] (rip basso) [Trump repeats rumor/lie] [More bassos latch onto rumor/lie] [Repeat ad-infinitum] [President Steve Bannon farts out god-awful policy]
I don't like echo chambers where lies and bad ideas turn into truth and great ideas. someone has to step up and be the chainsaw in this circular source feedback to make sure instead that everyone thinks for themselves. I don't have too but as a cf.net friend I feel responsible.
Do you realize this is exactly what the so called president wants your response to be in this world of alt-facts? You're so "clear eyed" you're swallowing their bait hook, line, and sinker. They throw out this ceaseless flow of lies and misinformation so that you will no longer believe the truth when it is slapping you in the face.
Don't be dense; he said our GDP as a whole was below zero. I'm glad he doesn't have influence over our...... Oh wait.
^This. A state getting its people to believe that knowable facts and stats are actually unknowable and therefore should be ignored is... not a good thing.
