The "Official Nick's BB" Trump Impeachment thread!

^Yes, never again underestimate just how disenfranchised, illiberal and dis-enlightened much of the US has become.

Take a look at this propaganda piece against Warren by a supposed lifelong Democrat centrist who was an Obama treasury advisor:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/04/opinion/medicare-warren-plan.html

Some of the criticism is warranted, but the article pretty much revives every outdated Republican trope under the sun to stave off serious reform.

The current situation is reminisce of the great stories of falling empires, where sheer power becomes conflated with reason and righteousness, and nationalist cliches and clown acts crowd out serious efforts to right the ship. The problem in this case is that the world economy is getting dragged down with it.

Senator Lindsey Graham is the latest convert to the "head-in-the sand" approach to Americas National Security crisis I mentioned in the opening post!

I’m referring to my own catastrophic Trump-related wager with Stui, of course!

For what it’s worth, I think his third prediction (Ivanka being VP) is ridiculous and his second (Trump winning again in 2020) is probably 50/50 at this point. But it’s the first step in the trifecta, the Republicans voting down impeachment proceedings in the Senate, that I think is the one where you’re probably most likely to come unstuck. I could be wrong, but I suspect you give the idea of “moderate” Republicans way too much credit.

David is referring to the bet I had with him way back when they were doing Republican pre-selection and I bet that Trump would win the nomination and beat Clinton to become POTUS.

I'll stand by my predictions, it's very unlikely that a vote to impeach will pass their senate.

Stay away from Occupy democrats, it'll rot your brain. It's straight up propaganda.

"...No Republican Governor of Kentucky has ever been elected to more than one term, even after the state's constitutional prohibition of governors serving consecutive terms was repealed in 1992. The only Republican to run for re-election, Ernie Fletcher, was defeated by Democrat Steve Beshear in 2007. Bevin is only the second Republican governor of Kentucky in the last 50 years, after Ernie Fletcher (2003-2007). "

Friday’s jobs report smashed all expectations—yet again—as the economy added 128,000 new jobs during the month of October. That tally far exceeds the 85,000 mark predicted by economists. (The real number is even better: Accounting for the recently resolved General Motors strike, as well as for positive revisions to the totals for August and September, more than 300,000 jobs have been added to the U.S. economy.)

The historic news didn’t end there. Wages are on the rise across America, with 15 straight months and counting of 3 percent or higher average hourly pay increases.

President Trump is heading to Kentucky tonight, where this blue-collar, middle-class boom is lifting up families across the state—even if the Beltway media can’t bring itself to acknowledge the success of hardworking Americans under a conservative President.

In the Bluegrass State, the numbers tell the story: •48,000 jobs have been added in Kentucky since President Trump’s election.
•That total includes 7,400 manufacturing jobs and 1,800 construction jobs.
•Kentucky’s unemployment rate reached 4% earlier this year, the lowest rate ever recorded in the state.
•Its unemployment rate has been under 5% for 26 consecutive months, something that didn’t happen even once under the previous Administration.
Those results aren’t likely to change anytime soon—unless things get even better. Last month, UPS announced plans to invest $750 million and create an additional 1,000 jobs at their major air hub in Louisville.

The liberal echo chamber might want to pump the brakes on their doom-and-gloom predictions for a while. For a better barometer of how America is doing, they can put down their “expert” op-eds, step outside the Beltway, and talk to some American workers. With more than 6.7 million jobs added since President Trump’s election.

Here’s yet another story you won’t see in the headlines: Under President Trump, prescription drug prices are decreasing at rates not seen since the 1960s.

The reason the media ignores this success is that it contradicts the left’s economic narrative. In their view, American healthcare was broken until Obamacare fixed it. (Of course, the fact that Democrat-Socialists are now calling for a “Medicare for All” takeover of healthcare reveals that their own policies have failed, but never mind that.) Any problems with healthcare today are solely because of President Trump, they claim.

The stats don’t lie. In the eight years before President Trump’s inauguration, prescription drug prices increased by a stunning average of 3.6 percent per year. Fast forward to today, and prescription medicine prices have seen year-over-year declines in 9 of the past 10 months, with a 1.1 percent drop as of the most recent month available.

This past June, in fact, the United States saw its largest single-year drop—a 2 percent year-over-year decline—in prescription drug prices since 1967.

That’s no coincidence. Through crucial reforms that most of the media ignored, the Trump Administration has continued to push through generic drug approvals at a record pace. When these drugs enter the market, they boost competition across the board, bringing the direct-to-patient costs down for everyone along with them.

American patients first—that was President Trump’s most important healthcare promise, and he meant it. Because of that, even without Congress’ help, America is better off today than it has been in a long time.

Interesting you brought up the Kentucky Governors election then conveniently move on from it when the narrative doesn't fit your bias. To add to what I wrote above, every downticket race was won by a Republican, including races they haven't won since 1948. There was a teachers strike and the Governor talked shit about them and went into the election with a 30% approval rating. He still manged a razor thin loss.

So you spew discredited nonsense about Russians and expect to be taken seriously? Post occupy democrats rubbish, refuse to acknowledge when you're wrong then have the temerity to question my intellect?

You're either not too bright and easily led by the liberal media or you're stark raving crazy.
