    When I was younger, I was team Ginger. Then, as I matured, I realized that Mary Ann was the ****.

    Now that I've had a lot of seasoning in life, I just appreciate that Mrs. Howell can take her teeth out.

    What they voted for?

    There hasn't been an election in Palestine in 20 years.

    There is no democracy in Palestine.

    only like 20% of all Palestinians were even old enough to vote the last time there was an election.

    "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself."

    It is amazing how generations change - people are born - people die - but these quotes continue to be true.

    They voted Hamas into power 20 yrs ago and are suffering the consequences of that vote. Truth is most Palestinians are aligned with Hamas ideology. I've got very little sympathy for them.

    What data do you look at when evaluating how the economy is doing? Curious because so many indicators are positive. GDP growth, inflation, job growth, trade deficit trend, budget deficit trend, healthy consumer, capital investment trends...

    Do you make decisions based on data?


    GOOD DAY

    Not sure, but you may be asking that of the sort of peeps who like to bring up that the democratic party supported slavery like 150 years ago.

    The latest government inflation and GDP figures are worthless,
    and will be for months to come
    White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett reportedly said that the record-long government shutdown could leave permanent gaps in U.S. economic data, which would, in turn, complicate efforts to assess the country’s growth outlook.[​IMG]



    then Hasset, in a last ditch effort to win Trump's nomination as the next Fed Chiar, seized on the figures to boast about Trump’s economic policies, gaslighting the inflation figure to be “an absolute blockbuster report.”


    all for naught, as Trump casts doubt on Kevin Hassett Fed nomination
