I have always been told that the US economy goes in waves and that the US President gets blamed or credited for whatever it does - although he has little effect on it. I never noticed anything to dispute this statement.
I'd like to point out that one of the US Presidents who is held in the lowest esteem - President Nixon - actually did more for peace than any other modern President. He got us out of Vietnam, started peace with China and started the SALT talks. He is only remembered for Watergate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqwo45XcLUY Note: I don't agree with the title of this vid - that the CNN spokesperson was speechless, she and her handlers had lots of facts to support their positions. Ben Stein may only be remembered for his role in Ferris Bueller but what he says is always interesting. |

The left must be gagging when they read articles like the above. I will laugh my arse off if Trump wins a second term and I see Bill Maher/Stephen Colbert/Seth Meyers start crying. |

-- break up big banks -- single payer -- tax on billionaires -- stay out of foreign wars That's not Red Brigades; he's still basically what we'd call a liberal (in the old and new senses of the term). In an American context, he's more or less Henry Wallace and Hubert Humphrey, with a Brooklyn accent. None of these folks were revolutionaries. The irony is the idea that seeking a fair shake for the vast majority is somehow Bolshevik. |

I wonder where this will lead to
The lead Democrat and Republican on the House Oversight Committee meted out a rare bipartisan rebuke of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn on Tuesday after seeing private information that confirmed the former administration official failed to disclose foreign income from Russia and Turkey.
The public criticism by the senior Republican on the House’s chief investigative panel is unusual and presents a dilemma for the White House, which was accused of failing to provide everything the committee asked for — an assertion White House press secretary Sean Spicer disputed. source

If I could vote in the US, Bernie Sanders had been the only electable person of the last vote for me.
