Mike,
I am really struggling to understand what you are trying to achieve, and to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not just on one big wind up.
However, you keep going back to the same theme of others moaning on the internet about politics on a politics thread.
Yet recently in your 2nd post on a non political discussion about fighting the possible introduction of new emission laws in the UK you bought politics into it, causing offense to many in the process. :shrug:

It's pretty easy Nick and my weariness responding to this thread anymore today will be another example. I made a point about a car issue that is directly affected by the politicians you support as an interested party. That was the end of that. I did not go on ad nauseam for months and months about that topic as Doug a few others in this thread do. If you're truly interested in the little guy and the disadvantaged as many here profess, then make your point and then go spend your time actually doing something about it instead the incessant complaining found page after page here. On that note, my point has been made and the unsubscribe button selected. You guys do what you want, you will anyway. Don't confuse all the tripe in the thread for nobility.
Still waiting to hear if you help anyone, Mike...I do see you posting on the other boards in the forum, so I know you're capable...just don't see it in this thread.
I was about to suggest that it might be time for you to move on...glad to see that was your decision. You obviously don't have anything to offer here.
Cheers!
Doug
With the greatest of respect Mike you should not have bought politics into it at all. The paddock was bought in for people who want to discuss politics, and so those more sensible than us who don't can avoid it.
Not particularly noble to offend many on that thread and others who read it, in my opinion.

I guess at your tender younge age you've probably never heard the term "hypocrisy." :lol:

Mike has signed off from this thread more times than I can honestly remember due to my "old" age. LMAO :laugh:
Our economy is going so great that tourism is down 4% since our Russian-backed president was elected:
Donald Trump hurting U.S. tourism, according to report.
Oh and the market is still DOWN roughly 5%. Ya, sure MAGA, which stands for Make America Gag Again. :thumbsdown:

But more importantly, what did our Comrade President do to help others, like on Martin Luther King Day back in January? Well, when most legitimate presidents volunteer on that day, Comrade President spent the day golfing at his resort in FL.

Never said signing off. I am though familiar with what they say about wrestling a pig and realize I could never match even one of you and your passion for arguing.
Market has been great to me, sorry about your luck my friend. Maybe that explains why you don't chip in and pay your fair share to support the forum? Typical...

Seriously, Mike? Here's me SMH again.
And I highly doubt you or anyone can beat the market, which as I said, is still down 5% from late January. I never mentioned my portfolio, but if you read my previous statement correctly, maybe you would have known that.
If you have no politics to discuss, then maybe it's time to leave (again).

And I'd like to add, several pages ago, you advocated for "no name calling," yet here you are, calling us "old" and "bitter" and of course, most recently comparing some of us to "pigs."
More hypocrisy. And speaking of hypocrisy, here's our Comrade President blaming Democrats for the DACA problem, when it was he who took it away 6 months ago.

And he's against Chain Migration, but I wonder how Melania's parents got green cards? Hmmm.

A small correction in Jan is your basis for the gauging the market and the policy effects of Trump? That's a rhetorical question as I don't have time to enlighten you but it is telling you would put forth such a flawed assertion. I give you a D- for the troglodytic nature of your arguments but an A+ for your dogged persistence in making them.
Mike, our POTUS is so inept that there is at least half a dozen new screwups every day...it's hard to pick just one each day to "discuss" here on a thread that, considering it's about politics, involves political discussion (gee...imagine that!).
Kwitcherbellyakin', as my dad use to say.
Cheers!

You’d feel a lot better about yourself if you instead used that time to deliver meals on wheels vs incessantly complaining about them. I want to help you find happiness and contentment Doug and lose all this negativity that’s eating you up inside. There’s 7 more years of winning coming. Don’t let it affect your health.
Hello guys, hope you're all OK. I've been dealing with personal health issues and am attending my 4th funeral in 6 weeks tomorrow, yeah life sucks.
Anyway, I felt the need to jump in here on a more personal note. Randy the High Priest of Moderators (although not quite as High in my book as the mighty Judas Priest) is having some serious family issues and if it wasn't enough for the tragic loss of his son, his dear Mother is now in a Hospice and not expected to live out the week. I make no apology for telling you this because I think the guy deserves a lot of respect and he's done his very best (as have I) to keep this Paddock thing cordial, friendly and amusing, but as I explained to Ron & Randy on many occasions, I'm not an American, don't have a dog in this race and most importantly, I have no f***ing clue what you're all on about so I'm not the best person on the planet to decide what's up or down in US politics.
So, out of total respect for Randy's fervent wish for some peace & calm in the Paddock, and to give him some breathing space while he is at the Hospice hour by hour, I hope you guys might take a step back and with me, send our best wishes and support for Randy at this most difficult time (again) in his life.
Further, if anyone comes back at this post with anything less than a dignified response I will carry out Randy's worst-case wishes, lock the thread and ban users.
Other than that, I've quite missed y'all...
You must have missed Keith's earlier post. So, I posted above again for your review and comprehension. Tossing around more insults doesn't really further this politics thread. I'd suggest reading and posting about GT40's in the other part of the forum, since you seem to be unable to talk politics without hurling invectives at others who don't like our Comrade President.
The facts are Congress passed a tax bill 12/19/17, which will increase the national debt by $1.5 Trillion, interest rates are now expected to rise at a faster pace than expected, employers were already having a difficult time filling jobs prior to the tax law change, and I'm not the only one who's predicting further bad news in the market than just wild fluctuations and the current level of a 5% drop.
Seriously, you have nothing to add here on this thread. Time for you to take a nice afternoon nap and maybe you'll wake up in a better mood.
Just remember that its Comrade President's own advisors (Tillerson, Cohn, McMaster, etc.) that think he's a moron, idiot, etc. I just happen to agree with their point of view.

Well, another campaign advisor (deputy chairman, no less) for our illegitimate president has plead guity and will testify against Manafort, the chairman of the campaign. Uh oh, doesn't look good for Manafort, which probably means, it doesn't look to good for the White House either.
Wow, five, FIVE, men have either plead guilty or have been indicted and they're all connected to Comrade President's campaign, including his National Security Advisor. That's not too good, huh?

According to the Quinnipiac Poll, University National Poll, American voters give Trump a negative 37 - 58 percent approval rating.
And imagine this, Republicans and white men are the only groups who approve.
Comrade President does to better with white voters with no college degree. This particular group is divided at 47 percent approve and 45 percent disapprove. Hmmm.
