How are you measuring the economy?
I'm legitimately curious. What action and legislation has he passed that actually has benefited the economy? The US economy was on a massive, year-long upward swing before Trump ever took office. He hasn't done anything to enhance or continue it. The free market has, Trump has not.
How are you measuring the economy?
Is this the same thing as tweeting at people stick to sports? As I've said very frequently, the onus is on yourself to control your content, not others. If you don't want to see posts from the lounge, you can control that. If you don't want to see sports reporters tweeting about politics, you can control that. If you don't want to see posts made specifically by me or any other forum member, you can control that. The very important common denominator of all of that is "YOU". The onus isn't on other people to control your online content, it's on you. So stop requesting what topics people can and cannot post about. Take some responsibility on yourself and be an adult.
I'll add that I like the fact that conversations like this take place on Dobber Forums because the discussion is generally much more well thought out and mature than it is in other media. Particularly Facebook comments (vomit).
I don't think that really answered his question though... just don't click this thread? Nobody is forcing you. This section isn't for fantasy hockey, so if you navigated to this post you obviously got bored of the hockey sections since there's no hockey talk in August.
I guess I don't see the point of taking the time to join a discussion just for the sake of telling the people having it that they should talk about something else.
With all due respect, no one forces you to click on the link that is in the Lounge. If the title starts with "Trump", simply don't click on it. You are more then welcome to continue to click on the hockey links that are there.
The Lounge is there for people to post anything that isn't involved with hockey. It is here for that very reason.
Edit - just saw that rstr basically posted the same thing as me.

This narrative that all trump voters got duped and just weren't smart enough to vote democrat is so divisive and wrong-headed it has to be addressed. Even the most die hard Hillary supporters have to admit she ran a terrible lazy campaign centered around TV ads with celebrities telling you how great she is; she rarely spoke to the press, almost never spoke about her own policies, and didn't even bother traveling to the states that ultimately cost her the election. That's not logical to me. Not to mention the blatant corruption and Benghazi.
Lets not rush to defend Hillary's failures when shes the biggest reason Trump is president. She will be remembered forever as the person who performed so poorly, and was so widely considered corrupt, that she lost to Donald F'ing Trump.
I dont like defending Trump, but ill defend the average Trump voter, who I dont believe is a nazi or too stupid to know better; like you kinda said, they made the choice between the monster they knew, and the monster they didn't know.

The only thing I could think of is promising to cut regulations and taxes in business and industry. That has definitely had a noticeable impact on the stock market. But that isnt an official policy, its just hot-air empty promises at the moment that investors are acting on.
That said, economics is not my thing. And there's no way im going down that rabbit hole of googling this then having to determine what the news source is, who pays them, how blatantly pro-trump or openly anti-trump are they to where I cant even believe them cause of their bias, its a mess. The media is who really deserves our collective scorn. Once we are done with bashing Trump for sticking his foot in his mouth, tho he'll do it again soon and the cycle repeats.

Thank you. It was either Trump, with all his arrogance, inexperience, etc. or Hillary, who is profoundly corrupt, and has been for decades. There wasn't a good choice, and how dare anyone insinuate (or flat out state) that people who didn't vote Hillary are idiots. Give me a break.
Divisive and wrong-headed? It came down to a choice of who would be the better president. I agree that the Clinton was a terrible candidate and I was not a fan of hers but she was an infinitely better choice than Trump and anyone who paid attention in the least should have seen that.

Sanders all day.
Sometime in October I turned to my brother and said: You know, whichever party has the nerve to turf their own candidate and put in a less hated replacement is going to win this in a landslide.
I stand by that assessment.
