It's a Reality Show Presidency!
You're fired!
Not that it matters, but I find the following data to be most amusing!!!!!
WASHINGTON – Most of the top Democratic candidates hold narrow leads over President Donald Trump in the key states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Florida, according to three recent polls.
In the swing state of Florida, which has broken for the winner by slim margins in the last six presidential elections, former Vice President Joe Biden edged out Trump 51.4%-48.6% in a hypothetical matchup, according to a poll from Florida Atlantic University.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., performed even better, beating the president 52.9%-47.1%. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts led Trump by less than 2 percentage points, 50.8%-49.2%. And the poll found former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg in a 50%-50% tie with the president.
Biden held a strong lead over the rest of the Democratic field in Florida as the choice of 41.5% of Democratic primary voters there. Sanders was second at 15.5%, followed by Warren at 9.7%, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at 6.8%, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota at 6.1%, entrepreneur Andrew Yang at 5.1% and Buttigieg at 3.3%.

"Joe Biden continues to be in a very strong position in Florida," said Monica
Escaleras, director of the university's Business and Economics Polling Initiative. "However, it will be interesting to see what impact the early contests in New Hampshire and Iowa will have on voters in Florida regarding their support for Biden."
And all the slurpers applaud at the stock market record while forgetting over 50% of americans do not own stock or have savings greater than a grand!!!!!!
President Trump likes to tout the record-setting stock market and low unemployment rate as evidence of his fine stewardship of the U.S. economy – and as great reasons Americans should reelect him this year.
But some Americans aren’t benefiting as much from these economic wins as others. As many as 57% of Americans say they don’t expect their finances will improve in 2020, according to a new Bankrate survey.
“Reality for a lot of people is they haven’t made much financial headway over the years in terms of paying down debt or increasing their savings in a measurable way,” says Bankrate.com Chief Financial Analyst Greg McBride. “They may not be falling further behind, but that doesn’t mean that they’re making substantive progress on the pathway to financial security.”

Wages not growing enough
The biggest obstacle for Americans trying to attain more financial security is the lack of wage growth over the past year. Wages have remained relatively flat for most workers: the pace of hourly wage growth fell below 3% in December for the first time since July 2018.
For workers who do manage to get a raise, it’s often modest, failing to provide the windfall they really need to get ahead. “That makes it difficult to make significant headway on debt repayment or boosting savings without some sort of a windfall,” says McBride. Tax refunds, another potential boost, is often already factored into household budgets before the government even cuts the check. “The amount of that refund may not change significantly one year to the next,” says McBride.
Bankrate’s survey found that just 16% of Americans expect their finances will worsen in 2020, while 41% expect their situation to stay the same this year.

Most Americans have a 401K which very much depends on a healthy and robust stock market.
And a healthy stock market is an indicator of a healthy full-employment economy.
And good news for the incumbent president.
And also a confirmation of the disastrous policies of the Obama years.
“Impeachment is sort of like pornography for the Trump-deranged,” Hemingway said. “It really does point out this week how certain people are handling their power in Washington versus others.”
"You have Republicans, Mitch McConnell confirming justices. You have Republicans in Congress working with deregulation, as is the president,” she said. “Then you have Democrats who said that they were going to come to DC and work on health care and all these other issues, instead spending their time really freaking out about Donald Trump.”
Trump complained on Thursday about the lack of attention and credit the media has given to the passage of the United States-Mexico-Canada trade deal.
“I did the biggest deal ever in the history of our country yesterday in terms of trade… and that was the second story to a total hoax,” Trump said.
Certainly is for the loony left here
And a healthy stock market is an indicator of a healthy full-employment economy.
That is what you are hoping for.....one silly rumor or other BS can crash that market by 10%.....the market is fragile with many variables driving prices.......what would the Dow do if Boeing crashes by 50% because of another problem??????? Other than tax breaks that were supposed to drive investment instead of buying back stock.... policy that statement is just BS!!!!!!
Most Americans have a 401K
50% of americans have less than 1000 bucks saved which makes your statement bs
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! Your opinion asshole....I had several co workers making good money who HAS ZERO $'s in a company sponsored 401.......We had a pretty decent match which they chose to ignore....

Survey: 69% of Americans Have Less Than $1,000 in Savings
finance.yahoo.com/news/survey-69-americans-less...
Dec 16, 2019 · Nearly 70% of Americans Have Less Than $1,000 in a Savings Account The survey found that setting aside money seemed to be harder for Americans in 2019. In 2017, 57% of respondents said they had...
Denny...
You do realize that "savings" is not synonymous with a retirement plan. The article is specifically referring to tangible asset savings accounts.
That being said, apparently approximately 46% of Americans do not have a retirement savings plan at all. But they find that much of that is age (with nearly 2/3 of people under the age of 24 having no retirement). By the time you get to 55, then only about 40% have no retirement plan.
So it would be accurate to say that more than 50% ("most") Americans have a retirement plan of some sort, and most retirement plans have at least some money in the markets (or if they don't then they have the ability to move money into the markets).
Denny is wrong
"The Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies estimates that the median retirement savingsfor millennials is about $31,000. According to Fidelity, the typical saver should aim to have one year's worth of salary saved by age 30. A 25-year-old should expect to have 25 to 50 percent of that number.
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)shows that the average 25-year-old earns a median annual salary of $40,352, so a 20-something with a median of $31,000 in savings could reasonably be on the right track to having a year's worth of salary saved by age 30. "
Remember
Denny and Alky both said that the US Economy will be a top issue for voters in 2020.

Obama called his dike wife "Mike".
Roger, 17 days into this new year how goes your planning and execution of being a multi-millionaire by years end?
Unfortunately the left here believe party over country
“While Professor Dershowitz is non partisan when it comes to the constitution - he opposed the impeachment of President Bill Clinton and voted for Hillary Clinton - he believes the issues at stake go to the heart of our enduring Constitution,” the legal team said in the statement, provided by Dershowitz. “He is participating in this impeachment trial to defend the integrity of the Constitution and to prevent the creation of a dangerous constitutional precedent.”
Trump Called Generals ‘a Bunch of Dopes and Babies’
The Washington Post excerpts a section of A Very Stable Genius where President Trump is meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“I want to win,” he said. “We don’t win any wars anymore . . . We spend $7 trillion, everybody else got the oil and we’re not winning anymore.”
Trump by now was in one of his rages. He was so angry that he wasn’t taking many breaths. All morning, he had been coarse and cavalier, but the next several things he bellowed went beyond that description. They stunned nearly everyone in the room, and some vowed that they would never repeat them. INDEED, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED UNTIL NOW.
“I wouldn’t go to war with you people,” Trump told the assembled brass.
Addressing the room, the commander in chief barked, “You’re a bunch of dopes and babies.”
For a president known for verbiage he euphemistically called “locker room talk,” this was the gravest insult he could have delivered to these people, in this sacred space. The flag officers in the room were shocked. Some staff began looking down at their papers, rearranging folders, almost wishing themselves out of the room. A few considered walking out. They tried not to reveal their revulsion on their faces, but questions raced through their minds. “How does the commander in chief say that?” one thought. “What would our worst adversaries think if they knew he said this?”
SO STABLE IS THIS SELF REGARDED "GENIUS."
An Incomplete Story
New York Times:
“By the time the Senate opened impeachment trials for Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, its members pretty well knew the facts of the accusations against the presidents. None of them needed to turn on The Rachel Maddow Show to learn things they did not already know.
“But as senators formally convened on Thursday as a court of impeachment in the case of Donald John Trump, new revelations were still emerging and important questions remained unanswered. The latest interviews by Lev Parnas, the Soviet-born associate of Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, as well as documents released by House investigators, only reinforced the reality that there is more still to be learned.”
ACTUALLY, THE FACTS ARE ALREADY KNOWN. TRUMP AND HIS GOP LACKEYS JUST DON'T WANT EVEN MORE UNASSAILABLE EVIDENCE TO EMERGE.
LOOK AT THAT PICTURE.
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.
Well James...
It's a problem for the prosecution when they go into a trial not having done all of their homework or not having gathered all the facts.
How is it that liberals want to blame the President and the GOP for the fact that they didn't do their own jobs.
But let me let you in on a little secret... between you, me, and the rest of the country... shhhhhh.... (none of this matters. he's not going to be convicted of anything because the democrats have not offered any evidence of any crime)
Now go watch your Rachel Maddow show!
🥁U.S. homebuilding jumped to an 13-year high in December, indicating the housing market is contributing to economic growth and buoyed by very-low unemployment and U.S. consumer strength."
Dystopian Socialist Democrats Wrong as they bet against the USA .
LOL I never watch Maddow. Did find the Parnas interview interesting, though.

Parnas Says Ex-Trump Lawyer Visited Him In Jail
Lev Parnas claimed on MSNBC that he was visited in jail by John Dowd, a former attorney for President Trump, who told him to cooperate and sacrifice himself for the president.
Said Parnas: “They tried to keep me quiet.”
Yep. They want to keep a LOT quiet.
Well James...
Too bad nobody with an IQ over room temperature actually believes a word Parnas says. I mean, seriously James? You don't "really" believe him... do you?
New revelations are not emerging. New accusations are emerging.
Lol@The Three Socialist Stooges of CHT .
No one is being silenced. Everyone is getting thier views fully heard.
Parnas is credible and is presenting documentation that backs him up.
Trump is not credible, and is trying to keep people in the know from speaking.
GOP sycophants are not credible, and they too want to keep people in the know out of sight and hearing.
+*Rudy Giuliani's associate Lev Parnas told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Wednesday that the former national security adviser John Bolton knew "100%" about the Trump administration's efforts to pressure Ukraine.
+"He has a lot to say," Parnas told Maddow.
+Democrats in both the House and the Senate want Bolton to testify in the Senate impeachment trial.
+Bolton released a statement January 6 saying he was "prepared to testify" if subpoenaed by the Senate during the trial.
+Trump says he has nothing to fear from a genuine trial, but is trying to keep Bolton from testifying.
Trump Rolls Back Healthier School Menus
“The U.S. Department of Agriculture has taken another whack at former first lady Michelle Obama’s signature achievement: Establishing stricter nutritional standards for school breakfasts and lunches. And on her birthday,” The Washington Post reports.
“USDA Deputy Under Secretary Brandon Lipps announced new proposed rules for the Food and Nutrition Service that would allow schools to cut the amount of vegetables and fruits required at lunch and breakfasts while giving them the ability to sell more pizza, burgers and fries to students.”
TRUMP WANTS ALL AMERICANS TO LOOK LIKE HIM.
New York Times:
“The rule was applauded by food companies but condemned by nutritionists who predicted a comeback for starchy foods like potatoes and the return of daily hamburgers.”
FUTURE GENERATIONS SUFFERING FROM OBESITY RELATED DISEASES WILL CONDEMN THIS ADMINISTRATION.
yes because choosing a proper diet is above normal people and should be the gubments job.
Fuck you are pathetic
bove normal people and should be the gubments job.
God you are a dumb fucking shit!!!!!! I guess you being lucky who had educated parents making a good living teaching didn't help you see that others living in poverty did not have the same life style as you think all should.....sad you can't see the forest through the trees.....You really are just so smart and perfect.....BWAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Parnas is credible and is presenting documentation that backs him up.
He's under indictment for fraud and perjury!
The "documents" are mostly hand written notes and text messages to people other than Trump. Two of his pictures with Trump have already been determined to have been photo-shopped.
This guy has zero credibility. If he had credibility, someone other than Rachel Maddow would have interviewed him!
So no, James... I don't actually believe that you believe him. Even you are not that gullible.

Hey Denny....
Savings has nothing to do with 401K Retirement does.
So my references to Retirement was relevant to the discussion, while yours on savings was total red herring.
It’s still your fault cold.
"Trump Rolls Back Healthier School Menus"
