You get my gist.

And yes, Congress may well hold the purse strings, but they are not the ones who fill it.


I'm not sure I do. It's also Congress that levies (federal) taxes.

Economies follow Central Banking (The Fed in your case) policy. They release funds and the economy (despite the NEWLY CREATED DEBT) appears to do well. They stop the flow, the economy does not so well. A quick google will show you the correlation between QE by the Fed and the performance of the Dow (S&P also).
Yes, Congress/whoever may well levy taxes etc but these have a very small effect on the performance of any given economy.

He also sold up his hedge fund company to take the job as well. As dislikable as he may have been, a 10 day job cost him his marriage, the birth of his child, his company for ten days...

No way he resigned to 'clear the decks for Kelly'. He's been proper f**ked over here.

Yep. Former Trump campaign manager Manafort will regret getting involved too, being that he was on the receiving end of an armed FBI pre dawn raid the other day while tucked up in bed.. and an examination of his bank records. He's a dodgy beyond belief character anyway [Link] If you piss off the wrong people, work against your own nation then put yourself in the spotlight you can eventually expect pushback.

I hope he's not too averse to prison food.

In your 'progressive' kind of world that stupid accusation....and it is stupid Nick. That accusation is 'hate speech'.....I mean I'll just call it stupid trolling, with a splash of bad grammar, but there you go.

Shall I put up clips about violent thugs at Berkeley closing down free speech and call it 'Obama's America'? Or Democrat's America?

Shall I put that idiot women holding up a make up of Trump's head and call it 'progressive's America'.

Nick sometimes you are just stupid, plain and simple.

Aside from the brawls this large torch carrying group were chanting 'blood and soil', affiliating themselves with Nazi ideology.

They're a good match for the nauseating safe space types on the left. Both should dial it down.

Bollocks. Trumps anti Muslim rhetoric has emboldened fascist cunds.

The fact that someone was killed today after you posted this and Trump chose to give an incredibly wishy washy condemnation goes a fair way to validating your post. It's true that he's done a bare minimum to distance himself from open far right support and it's unhelpful to say the least.

It's not a pleasant or stable time in the states, in part due to the politics climate, but then some would argue it'd gone too far in the other direction previously with people screaming 'cultural appropriation' at everything and anything and the like.

My personal hope is that there is a realignment once Trump is gone, where people as a whole thrash things out and get things done. By then, they will likely realise the true cost of not doing so. Sensible times require sensible people.

What do you attribute the rise in white supremacy in the U.S. to.

Also, how come driving a car deliberately into a crowd isn't being called a terrorist act.

Edit. I've seen on social media that some of the white supremacists (who aren't Nazis despite swastika flags) were chanting 'seig Trump'

I attribute the 'rise' in 'white supremacy' to be tiny in real terms. The media are responsible for sensationalism as they always are....looking for easy villians and heros.

There has certainly been a significant reaction against the 'rise' in identity politics from 'progressivism' that has taken over the Democratic party and now forms the policy of many companies.

I fully support that reaction and regard myself as fully 'anti progressive'. I believe and support pushback against this insidiousness. However I most definitely don't support using violence as pushback.

I agreed with how Trump responded to this. I watched his statement and saw nothing wrong with it. I think there is validity in criticising Trump's style of politics definitely. He lies, he exaggerates, he s*** talks....but he doesn't encourage murder.

I don't blame him for murderers driving cars into protesters just as I don't blame the Democrat party for murders 'black lives matter' supporters carried out.

Rhetoric doesn't help and it shows how badly polarized both sides are but ultimately murderers hold responsibility for their own actions. No one sanctions this behaviour from either party.

As for what's happened here it's very fresh and I'll probably wait for more details. From what I know so far there was a vote to remove a statue of General Lee. That is obviously provocative and another example of identity politics looking to erasure history they don't like. So we get an organized protest and a counter protest. I don't know much about the details but there has been violence and a death.

People who do that are criminals and/or murderers and receive nothing but condemnation from me. No one has the right to take lives over a difference of worldview....polarization in America has reached ridiculous levels and from what I've seen both sides are equally to blame for that.

I don't recall you complaining about 'Black lives matter' violent protests or complaining about the murders that supporters of it carried out. Yet here you are quick as anything condemning its apparent opposite. Essentially I don't see you as a rational actor in relation to these events.

I see a lack of compromise....indeed compromise is seen as 'selling out' today whereas as the compromisers of the past actually achieved things politically by using bipartisanship....Edward Kennedy for example.

Those days are gone and all anyone cares about is 'winning'.

Watched a video by Tim Pool on this and as usual he talks far more sense on it.

Do you honestly think that Trump's anti Muslim, talking about building walls and other such rhetoric hasn't emboldened white supremisists in the US?

No They are a small insignificant group. They have always been around, certainly not thousands of jackbooted skinheads marching down Main St.

I write that long post and you come out with that?

To answer your question...because I tend to answer questions. I think they support it certainly. I'm not sure what you are saying? So Trump isn't allowed to have those views and speak them then?

So your views Nick, are you responsible for the behaviour of everyone who has ever heard them? You call Tories 'cunds'...so if someone goes out and punches a Tory after reading that are you to blame?

Watched different news channels after I last posted. On 3 of them different reporters said the white supremacists had been emboldened (yes they used the same word as I did)
I think yer in a minority.
