Political discussions about everything

The best part was right before he spoke when Pelosi tried to shake his hand and he blew her off and didn't shake. That shows he's the real deal, no pretense with Trump, why in the hell would a man with any self respect, shake the hands of someone who has repeatingly called him a racist thug and attempted to remove him from office?

For inauthenticity, Fauxcahontas ranks right up there.

She allowed Harvard Law to declare her the first minority female professor there, and she was surely bright enough to know that she was a liar.

Also, if I could learn how to do ancestral research using old census data, newspaper archives, death certificates, etc, then surely a Harvard Law professor could as well?

For sheer dishonesty, though, the South Bend Sissy may have them all beat.

How about the facts?

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/02/factc ... e-union-3/

In his 2020 address to Congress, President Donald Trump stretched and distorted the facts:

Trump claimed the economy is “the best it has ever been.” But GDP growth fell to 2.3% last year and economists predict further slowing this year.
He said he brought about low unemployment by reversing “years of economic decay” and “failed economic policies,” when in fact over 1 million more jobs were added in the 35 months before he took office than in the first 35 months since.
Trump boasted that the “unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level in almost 70 years.” That’s true, but it had been trending down for several years before he took office.
The president wrongly said, “After decades of flat and falling incomes, wages are rising fast.” They’ve gone up under Trump, but also have risen under the last several presidents.
Trump claimed that people’s 401(k)s and pensions have increased “60, 70, 80, 90, and 100% and even more.” Some may have, but that’s far higher than the average.
He said “real median household income is now at the highest level ever recorded.” However, the Census Bureau noted that was partly due to a change in survey questions in 2014. Based on “adjusted” figures, median household income was slightly higher in 1999 than in 2018.
Trump claimed the new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico “will create nearly 100,000 … auto jobs.” But an independent federal commission puts the job gains at 28,000 over five years.
The president boasted that “a long, tall, and very powerful wall is being built” along the southern border, and more than 100 miles have been completed. But only one mile is located where no barriers previously existed.
Trump said “illegal crossings” at the southwest border “are down 75% since May.” But total apprehensions in 2019 were 81% higher than in 2016, the year before Trump took office.
He said that “after losing 60,000 factories under the previous two administrations, America has now gained 12,000 new factories under my administration.” He’s referring to what the Bureau of Labor Statistics calls manufacturing “establishments,” and most of the growth under Trump has been in facilities with fewer than five employees.
Trump compared apples to oranges in claiming a doubling of insurance premiums in five years before he took office and “less expensive” plans under his administration.
The president said he made an “iron-clad” promise to “always protect patients with preexisting conditions,” but that ignores the fact he has supported Republican health plans that would reduce the current protections under the Affordable Care Act.
He suggested, misleadingly, that his administration was responsible for the U.S. becoming the world’s top producer of oil and natural gas. But the U.S. has been No. 1 in the world for natural gas for more than a decade, and tops in petroleum since 2013.
Trump said “300,000 working age people” left the workforce during Obama’s eight years. Actually, the workforce grew by 5.4 million.

How about the facts?
Fact is Pelosi was having a major melt down all during the speech until she finally blew up...!
The demos will not admit it right now...
but it looks like she will not head the Demos in the House after the election no matter who wins..! :O :laugh:

Snake, I will be glad to comment on what your err in characterizing as "lies."

Most 'fact check' outfits are partisan, and surely you know that.

The stats you describe as lies are all subject to interpretation and rational debate, and when you portray them as mere "lies" you just show how pro-Left partisan you are.

"Snake, if you're going to call the stats provided wrong, please provide the sources for you information."-RealTool

He did, dimwit. It's right there in his link.

You know, those things YOU never provide to back up all your made up stupid shit.
#122465
Tool, you said you wanted his source. He gave you his source.

If you don't like his source, then refute his facts with a source you trust. But you won't. You don't know how.

Just whining that you don't like someone's sources doesn't mean you won the argument, dummy. It just means you're an impotent whiner.

You and johnforbes. He just whines about 'liberal' sources too. But for some reason he can never actually dispute the 'liberal' sources. He can't refute anything they say with more accurate facts.

As johnny says, the trouble with fact check sites is they have a liberal bias. This is because the truth is liberal. You must have an open mind to grasp it. Conservatives never even bother to check facts. They simply swallow whatever their handlers slop into their troughs without question.

It seems Pelosi violated federal law when she tore up the copy of the speech deliver to her by the President..
18 U.S. Code § 2071....
and It's a serious violation...
The media is already defending her, saying that it doesn't matter because there are other copies..
But the copy signed by the President and deliver by him to the house speaker is the official record..and
Prlosi was to give that copy to the House clerk ….
McCarthy , Minority Leader in the House then had to deliver another copy to the House clerk to replace the one destroyed by Pelosi..
Even so, It does not erase Pelosi's violation of the law..! :O

As Schiff was leaving the night of the speech, a reporter asked him about Pelosi possibly violating the law, he said that only pertains to documents that are supposed to be archived and that what Pelosi tore up, was only a copy with no requirement to be archived. That tells me they researched and planned the whole stunt.
#122484
It seemed planned because Pelosi wouldn't have the strength to tear in half a very big speech.

She broke it into 3 piles, then tore those, and she did so slowly and standing up to gather attention.

Another planned stunt.
#122505
If only johnforbes had the strength to tear his partisan hypocrisy in two and start over with the least pittance of integrity.

It is virtually certain that johnforbes wouldn't be strong enough to accomplish that feat.
#122508
In the old days, strong men would tear apart telephone books.

The trick was to bend them a little bit to start them tearing.

On a positive note -- and it is important to be positive given the dreary sky outside -- Clowntoker has utilized his own mighty musculature to tear apart a single Post-It note.

It was not easy for him, but he did it.
