So, you're not gonna post data to support your claims and then tell me that I don't want data. Keep up the trolling.

I referenced the jobs report. I have posted iterations of it in the past. After it was referenced someone commented about how it doesn't show the full picture. Undoubtedly the same thing you will do. Trolling is the asbestos memes and coal gang.

When you vouch to gut the EPA mandates with phony climate change denial “research” for a whole year, only to change your position when the EPA actually gut the mandates and get post-nut clarity that what you vouched for is actually bad for your bottom line and PR

I'm curious to know how you think anyone here will understand your position better if you don't explain your position with facts.

If you believe this is an echo chamber, and you're refusing to provide data because you think you know how everyone will react, I'm really not understanding why you post here other than to troll.

Ok, what opinions are you claiming these facts support?

You also made several statements about your beliefs a few pages ago and didn't provide any support for them.

That unemployment is down, and people are entering the work force.

Support for being pro-life? Like what you are asking for is nonsensical. Every time something is posted you want "more." More explanation, more reasoning, etc, that you will just disagree with. You asked for data, I posted it. Now it is what the data means. Now it is support for beliefs, etc.

The hypocrisy is that you don't ask for the same from the people who tend to align with your beliefs. Instead, you like their memes and agree. That is why this thread is looked at as an echo chamber. It is the blatant hypocrisy that makes it difficult to have a legitimate discussion.

670 ballots in a precinct with 276 voters, and other tales from Georgia’s primary

I'm not the one that asked for data... but I support election security.

 

[blastercombo]

Again, types of jobs, benefits, loss of jobs, downsizing, areas of addition vs subtraction. I mean all valuable information right? ......... or just look at the top 4 lines.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is expected to issue a proposal in coming weeks that would make it harder for legal immigrants to become citizens or get green cards if they have ever used a range of popular public welfare programs, including Obamacare, four sources with knowledge of the plan told NBC News.

The move, which would not need congressional approval, is part of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller's planto limit the number of migrants who obtain legal status in the U.S. each year

.
Using some public benefits like Social Security Insurance has already hindered immigrants from obtaining legal status in the past, but the programs included in the recent draft plan could mean that immigrant households earning as much as 250 percent of the poverty level could be rejected.


A version of the plan has been sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget, the sources said, the final step before publishing a rule in the federal register. Reuters first reported that the White House was considering such a plan in February.

Yikes.

You know how immigrant Trump supporters love to say "my dad came to the US with $3 in his socks and worked hard. Why can't the others do the same?"

Here's the part your daddy never told you: he used public assistance and under Trump, he would have never been a citizen.

I agree.

Support for being pro-life? Like what you are asking for is nonsensical. Every time something is posted you want "more." More explanation, more reasoning, etc, that you will just disagree with. You asked for data, I posted it. Now it is what the data means. Now it is support for beliefs, etc.

You said more than just support for pro-life, so why is that the only thing you just mentioned? Unfortunately I can't read your mind, so I don't know why you believe what you believe unless you tell me. If you don't want to do that, just say so. No one is forcing you to post. I'm confused why it's so hard for you to discuss when you claim you're here to discuss.

The hypocrisy is that you don't ask for the same from the people who tend to align with your beliefs. Instead, you like their memes and agree. That is why this thread is looked at as an echo chamber. It is the blatant hypocrisy that makes it difficult to have a legitimate discussion.

The implication here is pretty insulting because you're suggesting that I believe what people say as long as we share the same beliefs. If you have an example (please don't get mad!) I would love to see.
You're also complaining about being asked to provide data and explain your views while simultaneously complaining that it's difficult to have a discussion.

Reading the actual quote..that is legit the dumbest thing I've ever read and the biggest pile of bull **** I've ever seen. Never have I seen such a blatant and bold faced liar in my entire life . And these people just eat it up. He knows he doesn't even have to try anymore, he can just say whatever and they'll buy it. You cannot overestimate the stupidity of his base

The way back machine unearthed these quotes about Bill Clinton recently:

On the second count, that the President is ‘just like the rest of us’, he is the most powerful man in the world. If you and I fall into bad moral habits, we can harm our families, our employers and our friends. The President of the United States can incinerate the planet. Seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the Chief Executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous. Throughout our history, we have seen the presidency as the repository of all of our highest hopes and ideals and values. To demand less is to do an injustice to the blood that bought our freedoms.

Further, the Presidents repeated lies to the American people in this matter compound the case against him as they demonstrate his failure to protect the institution of the presidency as the ‘inspiring supreme symbol of all that is highest in our American ideals’. Leaders affect the lives of families far beyond their own ‘private life’. In the Bible story of Esther we are told of a king who was charged to put right his own household because there would be “no end of disrespect and discord” among the families of the kingdom if he failed to do so. In a day when reckless extramarital sexual activity is manifesting itself in our staggering rates of illegitimacy and divorce, now more than ever, America needs to be able to look to her First Family as role models of all that we have been and can be again.

Guess who?

Here is the jobs report... it is a strong jobs report. This is data and facts.

The July jobs report was not a strong jobs report. A strong jobs report is anything over 200k jobs created.

They are gonna finesse Manchin's seat right from underneath him.
