Still up 40% since the election; less than 2 years.   I am more than happy, as are most.

 

Good luck.

When Obama took office the Dow was a little under 8k. He left it at a little over 17k. Are you going to give him the credit for that growth too?

A volatile growth stock with a low beta and a massive competitor (google) moving into their space? Yeah, I’ll pass.

You play the race card all the time but when Democrats show how truly racist they are, it's no big deal to you.

Kind of hard for the media to just now call him mentally unstable when he himself opened up about being bipolar months ago.

Same people making fun of Kanye for being “bi-polar”/ mentally unstable are the same people who call chicks with dicks women and end their emails with their preferred pronouns.

Obama and the left LOVE celebrities. Losing your shit over Kanye is hilarious.

So I saw this article featured on Pool's latest vid: https://spectator.us/2018/10/white-liberalism/

I had to laugh, because it presents an idealistic (albeit real) stereotype of today's left.

The protests liberals whipped up against Kavanaugh this weekend, on the other hand, revealed too much about their own weakness. Washington, D.C. is a majority Democratic city with a black majority. But the Democratic voters out there yelling about Kavanaugh were as white as any country club gathering of Republicans. They looked like a line of Starbucks patrons — Caucasian, professional, largely millennial, with earth tones and earnest expressions aplenty. Men and women wore the same fashionable glasses and more or less the same clothes. It was a Pumpkin Spice Riot.

I can understand exactly where the writer is coming from. Am I the only one? Does everyone else see it, too?

Incorrect, as confirmed by Google. They are actually partners in certain aspects.

Google denies building customized appliances to compete with Nutanix

 

 

https://www.marketwatch.com › Industries › Internet/Online Services

Sep 18, 2018 - EmilyBary. Alphabet Inc.'s Google GOOGL, -0.13% GOOG, -0.18% on Tuesday denied that it was building customized appliances to compete with Nutanix Inc. ... Nutanix stock initially sold off after the report came out on Monday, but it rallied 4.5% in morning trade Tuesday.

No you don't.  You're just happy that a celebrity who has historically been liberal has expressed liking the politician you back so vociferously.

Well, using racially offensive language on air to call him stupid certainly wasn't.  CNN ought to have a firing or two over what was said on air.

However, I'm pretty sure you'd have been in the camp calling him mentally unstable when he did this (I was):



Let's temper the actual Uncle Tom treatment of him now, shall we?  He's just a dude expressing his worldview in both scenarios.

No.  It's not.  Dude's been bipolar for probably as long as he's been famous.

Both are problematic, because they virtually always come with an assumption: If the race or races of the people involved were different, the outcome would be different.

There's rarely any way to establish that, so it's mostly useless, illogical drivel.

 obama benefited due to the statistical anamoly created by the market crash.  Prior to his election the Dow was near 14,000 and at the end of his term around 16,500.  So during his term we got back to where we were, plus about 2,500.  This translates over 8 years to anemic 2% annualized increases, which is less than 1/5th of the normal historical returns.  What has occurred since then speaks for itself.
