He's not 100% wrong...

The constant rise of interest rates have led to selling off of US treasury bonds, which in turn would force another rate increase. Investors are mitigating their risk of an impeding rate increase which stems growth. They are being less risky and more "conservative". The Federal Reserve is directly involved in this. Not the only player, but a player too.

They need to ramp the rates up in preparation for the next correction so that they have something to drop and not become Japan. If the economy has any strength it should be fine. Trump should know this. Thus for his economic decisions has been really good. He can't fight the FED half-heartedly he either needs to play their game or end it completely.

I am observing how oddly fixated you are on OD's posts.

I wouldn't call that value, but anyway. Have you done an analysis of my response ratio to other posters? Do you stalk me around the rest of MyBB?

Have you guys seen Comedy Central? Trevor Noah on YouTube roasts Trump in every episode it seems. Trump is like white Zuma.

It's his job, he is paid to further the lefty agenda, just like John Oliver.

If he dares to roast HRC or Obama even remotely as vehemently as he's done many times to Trump he would be out of a job.

Trevor is good, but if you truly enjoy roast tRump, I recommend you check out Stephen Colbert’s monologues from the Late Show as well as Late Night with Seth Meyers’ A Closer Look.

Fair warning, tRump folk are not fans of the shows and they’ll be along shortly to tell you so.

EDIT: Aaaaand I see they already have.

I feel in your case it's a clinical lack of a sense of humour 'tho. I could be wrong and you could be at Goliath or Parker's every weekend... But you're not, are you?

Nope, NarrowBandFTW pretty much said it all, just more clickity clickbait to get the frothers frothing

Guess he can't read.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told the Senate on Wednesday that the White House put limits on the re-opened investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh

I wonder whose in the White House... Difficult questions we have.

O so they were suppose to do their job in line with certain scopes. Just like any other investigation. So instead of investigating if he had a gambling problem or a history of road rage, they were specifically to investigate the sexual assault claims.

Who would have thought huh?

More Libtard spinning :D

Without talking to the victim or the perpretator, or the 3rd witness, or any of the people that had sworn statements contradicting what he claimed.

Temujin said Trump said there shouldn't be be limits. Thanks for proving he was lying. :)

Libtards tried their damnist to prevent a Republican getting the position, he did and now they are crying epic libtard tears. It's amazing to watch

This isn't remotely true, Pitbull. Gorsuch got confirmed without a hitch.

If you want an example of someone being unjustly kept from the court - Merrick Garland. Didn't even get a hearing, much less a vote for almost a year. For literally no justifiable reason. ;)

If you want to ignore everything you don't like to hear (since you haven't responded to any of the substance that anyone has posted) and just yell 'libtard', go ahead, I guess.

Neither are president though... It's not in fashion to roast either at this point.

Go back in history and you won't find a roast at this level of Obama during his tenure as president either. He was joked with for golfing once or twice, that's about it, in 8 years. The guy who set the world record for drone executions and got caught lying about "no boots on the ground in Syria" at least a dozen times.

Yeah, he golfed too much, oooh, burn ...

Show me the actual words of the source that reinforces that warped interpretation by your biased media outlet?

You can't because he did not say that, Politico said that and promptly failed to provide any such quote from him. So no. They can change that clickbait headline to "Politico says" and it would at least be accurate.

So not laughing at the exact same jokes and set-up to jokes a million times in a row is a fault on my behalf?

:ROFL:

Trevor had talent before he went to the US, he's wasting it all away for those dollar bills.

Trevor is funny ‘tho, and thoughtful. And he’s carved out a place for himself in a tough industry in a market that’s nearly seven times bigger than SA. All in all, he done good.

Honestly ‘tho, I still miss Jon and, much as I love him now, Stephen’s Colbert Report was the greatest political satire show... Ever.
