TRUMP DESTROYING THE NATION..YOU BALL LICKERS HAPPY NOW?????

[andreisdaman]

It's impossible to reason with anyone that supports this dumbfuck.  You have to be a complete idiot to support him and what he stands for.  He truly is one of the biggest pieces of shit in the world today.

This true...they are all apart of the same mindlessness...

[andreisdaman]

Libtard meltdowns are strong in this thread.  Yet more evidence Trump's the best president the US has ever had.

To you ball-lickers, the TRUTH is considered a meltdown....

I don’t think we have any business in the Middle East. I think we could’ve wound it down a bit better (not sure how much winding down could be done with 2,000 troops in Syria) but I really believe we should be gone from there. I do not like some of his rhetoric and policies, and was shocked when I saw Mattis resigned, but when you look at it, what’s wrong with pulling our troops out of the Middle East?

Also, from the outside looking in, the amount of turnover in the administration is a bit concerning but when looking at the big picture, we’re doing okay.

I’d hate to see how ballsy the ultra left is going to get when Trump loses in 2020. My only hope is the economy and the country as a whole stays together. These last two presidents have been very polarizing figures as of late.

[chaos]

Agreed. That resignation letter by Mattis was scathing...a total rebuke that you never see anyone do in public...but all the ball-lickers want to talk about is Hillary ..woooooowww

"scathing"? Really? I think both sides have been very respectful from what I've seen. They disagree, so Mattis is stepping down. Much like if you disagreed with your boss, you are free to step down. I'm sure Walmart would miss you pushing their carts, but you get the idea.

The libtards of getbig are going to have a shitty Christmas and a lousy New Year.  Too bad.  MAGA!!!

I think we should leave as well...and leave Afghanistan too....it's been going on for too long...we are expending a lot of blood and treasure over there...but you don't do it all of a sudden by tweet....it's lunacy

Yet, unlike you, I posted facts.  You only posted an emotional meltdown, you Osama ball-licker.

How many people have been let go or stepped down now? it has to be a record no?

[Primemuscle]

Lots of minimizing going on in this thread and heads buried in sand.

[loco]

You guys always bring up the economy in trying to deflect criticism....it's really funny that the economy was doing well FOR YEARS under Obama but you couldn't bring yourself to acknowledge that...guys like you ball-lickers just can't acknowledge reality

andreisdaman, why did the Fed not raise rates under Obama?

Why the Fed raised rates

DECEMBER 19, 2018

The U.S. economy added just 155,000 jobs in November, falling short of analysts’ expectations. But the Fed maintained a fairly optimistic view of economic conditions in its statement, noting that “job gains have been strong, on average, in recent months.” GDP growth is solid and at 3.7 percent, the unemployment rate is still low by historical standards.

Though most workers haven’t gotten a raise in the past year, annual wage growth (3.1 percent) is higher than it’s been in nearly a decade. Even though the labor market is said by some experts to be approaching full employment, there are still plenty of positions left to fill.

“Employers are forced to compete more for workers and that’s what is driving the wage growth so much higher,” says Sean Snaith, director of the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Economic Competitiveness. “t’s not out of control wage growth, but it is the fastest that we’ve seen to date in this recovery and I think it’s really consistent with a tightening labor market.”

Inflation is near 2 percent and the Fed thinks it will remain below that target in 2019. But FOMC members didn’t hesitate to raise rates in an effort to continue normalizing interest rates and prevent prices from rising too fast in the future. In a press conference following the December meeting, Jerome Powell also noted that rates this year were raised more times than expected because the economy was stronger and healthier than expected.

The Fed seldom raise rates in a weak economy, which is what Obama presided over during his entire joke of a presidency. During his 8 years the economy never reached 3% GDP. That is a first for the history books. The economy's weak recovery occurred in spite of him.

Funny how the peace loving Democrats, who never complained about Obama's leading from behind doctrine, all of the sudden are war hawks condemning Trump's decision on Syria.

And how many different  Defense Secretaries did Obama have? Three? Four maybe? Did the world end? No it did not. Even when the nation was led by someone who laughed at Romney for saying Russia was our main geo-political enemy.

overwhelmingly a record.....I wonder do the ball-lickers remember..."I will hire the best people"...?

Why detail facts?...its not like you really pay attention to them anyway..we all know whats going on..if you're not just watching FOX news that is...

Our nation is designed so that there is civilian control of the armed forces. Its a feature not a flaw. Sec Mattis was no darling to the democrats until 24 hours ago and then suddenly, the liberal cabal of the United States is using this peaceful, quiet, happy guy and his choice to step down as an example of what is wrong with the current direction of our nation. The same liberal cabal that displayed abject horror at the thought of a SECDEF that had uttered these horrible -HORRIBLE things while performing his duties......


**there are some assholes in this world that just need to be shot
**there is only one retirement plan for terrorists
**Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.
**I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.



The man built a reputation as a warrior. So - when the POTUS makes a choice to pull out of a conflict, chances are, the warrior will disagree with him. Sec Mattis is a fine American that has spent his life serving the nation - but when you carry a hammer, everything looks like a nail...


It also doesn't make him "right" nor does it make him "wrong" it just means that his resignation letter reads like it was written by the exact same man that said....


You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling.


The POTUS just said 'no more brawling'
...it isnt really any more complicated than that regardless of how the media wants to make more complicated than that.

andreisdaman, why did the Fed not raise rates under Obama?

The Federal Reserve raises interest rates to stem inflation. When the economy is up, rates go up. When it's down rates go down. This is neither complicated nor is it political. Actually, they did raise rates when Obama was President.

This is the fourth rate hike of 2018 and the ninth increase since the Fed began raising rates from near-zero three years ago.

Jerome Powell also noted that rates this year were raised more times than expected because the economy was stronger and healthier than expected.

Snaith says. “But when it comes to interest rates and balance sheet policy, I don’t see much difference between Yellen and Powell.”

“Low interest rates have been the key ingredient in this nine and a half, almost 10-year-old bull market and the prospect of rising rates is if it makes other investments look more appealing, it makes growth harder to come by,” McBride says.

“The Fed downshifted their projections of 2019 economic growth, inflation, and interest rate hikes – not in a big way but enough to remove the urgency of repeated rate hikes.”

No shiitte, Sherlock.  Isn't that exactly what I already posted?  Getbig.com can always count on Primemuscle to always state the obvious.

The question is why did the Fed keep rates effectively at zero under Obama if "the economy was doing well FOR YEARS under Obama"?

Lol... I just imagine if Oba.... nevermind. Carry on with your inconsistencies.
