Donald Trump

Do you folks still believe that voters decide elections? Trump is entertaining, but it is all irrelevant.

Gasoline prices in England and Germany are about 9-10 dollars a gallon after you do the conversions. Gasoline prices in England and Germany in 2009 were about 8-10 dollars a gallon after the conversions. Our gas prices have risen from $1.84 to $4.00 in the same period. Why? One reason, the price of oil is pegged on the value of the US dollar and value of the dollar is declining because the government is just printing money. The value of the dollar is pegged to our industry. Industry has remained relatively constant even with high unemployment because of more efficiency in production. So industry remains constant and the amount of dollars has increased. Do the math; dollars are now worth less and our oil is purchased with these weak dollars. According to the Wall Street Journal $1.30 of the price of gas is due to the devaluation of the dollar. This all started with Quantitative Easing. That is where the Federal Reserve prints money and then buys that same money. This devaluation makes it easier for the US to pay off its debts until it is refused by some nation but screws the consumer in the country.
Thank you Mr. Obama, may I have another.
A cheap dollar also makes our exports more competitive and makes the imports more expensive making local manufacturing a possibility.

The President has the ability to "Jawbone" in public. The threat of an investigation has some clout and might stop gouging.

The President has clearly stated the price of gasoline is set by the market so anyone who supports free markets should be happy? Republicans must be choking about bitching about high gasoline prices.

Just remember Enron brokering power supply in California.
Let's see if this finally shuts the Donald up!

The president STATES a lot of stuff, you should know that doesn't make it true. The federal government makes more money off a gallon of gas than the oil companies do. So who has motive to keep prices high?
The President stated that only 2% of small businesses make over 250,000 dollars a year.
The Better Business Bureau says it is 27%. Big difference.

Yes, the price of gasoline is determined by the market, however, because we refuse to drill our own oil we are promoting a false sense of scarcity which is driving the price up. Add to that the unrest in the Middle East, threats of shortages are also driving the price up. The best answer is to drill here, drill now.

He - no - the state of Hawaii produced their legally recognized version of a short form "certificate of live birth" - that's "birth certificate" for illiterates - two years ago, but still the question. Bitch all you want. He was elected, He is president, and all of the red-faced blowfish in the world, especially the ones covertly playing the race card to the masses, can not change that until the next November election. Get over it. Donald trump just proved to the world that he is a LIAR and a complete dumb-ass who harped upon a minute detail and plays to the racist elements in american society.......

"My investigators have told me that The certificate is Missing" LOL -no - LMAO

On second thought, nominating Trump would be simply following in the trend of Republican Presidential nominees - another spoiled fuck-up who's been propped up by his daddy's money. That'll get 'er done

Is Trump a child of wealth? I really don't know. If he is, he has made and lost several fortunes on his own, and is currently a billionaire. So I don't think he is riding on his daddy's money. Nor is he a fuck-up. An idiot? Maybe. Egotistical clown? quite possibly. Will he do anything for attention? Duh. LOL! Will the Republicans nominate him? Who knows. At least he'd be fun to watch. At this point, I think Obama will be re-elected.

I never had a problem with Obama's nationality, I have a problem with him being a socialist. But we elected him (maybe) so the job is his. And I say "maybe" because I think that voters since 1964 have had little impact on the outcome of elections.

BTW, the new spring line of tinfoil hats coming out of Paris are very dapper. It's nice to be able to be paranoid and fashionable at the same time.

I dont want to jump in any talks with you men and your ego's because almost all the threads here are about Obama this and Obama that and everyone starts calling each other names and it just becomes a huge big mess. But I will say this, Growing up when I was a child which not to call you all old but you were prob the age I am now when i was a child but my parents told me once when talking about the presidents they said, "You dont have to like him, you dont have to agree with him but respect him." What happened to people respecting each other today. It's really getting old, He was elected there is nothing you can do right now to change that, Yes when it's time to re-elected you can vote but until then you cant do anything he is there. Having a debate over something is fine but where the hell is the respect.

I dont know maybe I was growing up when manners and respect was something that you were supposed to do but I guess things change......

BTW COG I need to get the new spring line of the tin foil hats... Thanks for sharing!!!!

Paranoid?

Don't drink the kool-aid.

SOCIALISM
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
3 : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state


A socialist? Still on that one? That was so "election year". LOL. All of a sudden social services are socialism. Caring about people, other than yourself, is socialism. Well, hell, i may be a socialist too. Everyone in the United States doesn't share the "fuck everybody except me and mine" philosophy. The richest country in the world - at least it used to be - sending billions to foreign countries, lives lost and spending billions on foreign wars to "spread democracy", but god forbid that someone spend a dime on the less fortunate. Social services never killed anyone. It is so easy to condemn others for needing help especially when we don't share their predicament. Besides it's been two years and I've yet to see Socialism - this huge redistribution of wealth that was supposed to occur.... I guess that he'll wait until the next term. i can't wait.

Thorough9, were you talking about me? You miss the point altogether, then made up some stuff you think I believe and then attack me on them. I think you need to quit playing with Longer.

But you might right. Fascist may be more accurate.
