Election Day

Funny how y'all root for a politically incorrect team, yet a bunch of yall hate Trump for basically not being PC. Media is full of crap. MAGA.



Shut up.

mooby nice post

mooby nice post

Thanks dmek. Good morning.

right back at cha kid:)

Still waiting for all the winning we were promised.

Still waiting for all the winning we were promised.

Funny thing (not shocking that we see it polar opposite) I was going to start a thread called WINNING


Iraq has announced it is fully liberated from ISIS
(https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/09/world/middleeast/iraq-isis-haider-al-abadi.html)Russia has announced mission accomplished and Putin has ordered a withdrawal of troops from Syria (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-russia-putin/putin-in-syria-says-mission-accomplished-orders-partial-russian-pull-out-idUSKBN1E50X1)
Job numbers have been consistently improving (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf)
even with multiple major storms GDP growth was over 3% for 2 quarters in a row (https://www.bea.gov/iTable/iTable.cfm?reqid=19&step=2#reqid=19&step=3&isuri=1&1921=survey&1903=1) (didn't happen from 2015Q1 to 2017Q1)
Southwest border illegal crossings apprehensions are down due to a reduction of illegal crossings (https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration)

Add in things that are more for those who voted for Trump:

Gorsuch appointed to the Supreme Court
Roll back or delayed implementation of 600+ regulations (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-ahead-of-reagans-record-in-cutting-regulations/article/2636355)
many conservative justices appointed to lower benches (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_judges_appointed_by_Donald_Trump)
Got the US out of Paris accords and TPP
Jerusalem acknowledged as Israel's capital


I know that the 2nd list is not a list that is winning for anti-trumper's but for those who voted for him, they are.

and from the snowflakes perspective - there hasn't been a nuclear war. Given I know 3 millenials at my work who were convinced that there was going to be a nuclear attack on Trump's inauguration, that is a major win right there!

In Afghanistan Taliban suffer $4m financial loss as F-18s bomb drug labs (http://www.khaama.com/taliban-suffer-4m-financial-loss-as-f-18s-bomb-drug-labs-in-helmand-04003)

Oh, and this one, https://nypost.com/2017/09/26/saudi-arabia-finally-lets-women-drive/.

I find it interesting that Saudi Arabia is opening up at a time when Hillary's influence is finally dead in the world. We know that that is coincindence NOT causation but it is still fascinating that after years of Pres Obama and Hillary Clinton as Sec. of State, Saudi Arabia now seeks better ties with the US and relaxes it's views on women's rights. IF HC could have gotten this one accomplishment, maybe should could have set her hat on it as a foreign policy guru at election time, instead she got to claim Benghazi, lucky her

Oh then there is this:
The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index Increased Again

28 Nov. 2017

Index Remains at 17-Year High (https://www.conference-board.org/data/consumerconfidence.cfm)

or this:
November 27, 2017

The numbers are in for this year's Black Friday
According to Adobe Analytics, U.S. retailers earned a record $7.9 billion on Nov. 24, an increase of nearly 18% from a year ago (https://www.ama.org/publications/eNewsletters/Marketing-News-Weekly/Pages/black-friday-2017-infographic.aspx). Adobe further predicted that Cyber Monday would bring an additional $6.6 billion in internet sales, good enough to be the largest online shopping day in history.
Bolded emphasis is mine

Oh and for all you who have index funds or any stock based investments, you kind of won this year too:
