Did you just Google Hillary and military and post the first article that came up without even reading it or something? C'mon.

She lied about trying to join the marines. Circumstances and reasons are public record. Go find them yourself.

She's lied about almost everything her entire career.

So that's worse that disrespecting POW's and draft dodging with fake bone spurs in his heels. Ok.

Side note, Unemployment Rate dipped to 4.6% - http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

We'll see what happens under a Trump admin/R Congress. Trump did say -
'The Economy Does Better Under The Democrats'

While a drop in the unemployment rate is often a positive sign, it appears to be largely due to a fall in labor force participation.

Then here is FORBES....

Italy referendum exit polls suggest clear victory for 'No'
Renzi will resign midnight their time.
Which means, damn, no government for Italy for a bit.
Vote dropped the value of the Euro vs the Dollar.

You don't think what Trump said about POW's was kind of like spitting on vets? I've yet to hear him apologize for it. Not sure if Trump supporters are ok with that?



He's just stupid. Just read his tweets, still letting SNL get to him or he's just doing that to deflect something.

It disgusts me what he said about Mccain, Mccain could have left pow camp years earlier,because his father was an admiral, but refused to leave before his time, In my mind he is a Hero. I didn't vote for him in the primary, this is one of the reasons why, and there is no excuse for this, I am not a big Trump fan, yes I voted for him because of his stance on abortion but I will never defend what he said about McCain it makes me sick

[iowadawg]

Dark side of McCain...
You should read it.
Why he was where he was when he was shot down and it was it a criminal act what he was doing prior to being shot down.
Then it is a truth he is one of the biggest freaking war hawks ever!
And again, look at Geneva War conventions and all he wanted to do, and had done, and how it fits...
Anyways, I have never been a fan of McCain.

Congratulations MSM, you did it to yourselves.

Diplomacy exists so that nations with different cultures and agendas can work out their differences without starting wars and blowing each other up.

A PE trolling a major world power on Twitter isn't "being politically incorrect", its just effin stupid.

“There's more than one way to skin a cat.” There's the skinny pussycat Obama way and there's the roaring lion Trump way of doing it.

We shall see which is more effective. I have no doubts which one is.

News Flash: Trump's an a-hole New Yorker.

I didn't vote for Trump b/c he's a polite politician. I voted for him b/c he's not Hillary, not John McCain, not Mich McConnell, John Boehner..

As for your unemployment numbers, you're posting Gov bullshite.

Thing are better despite Pres. Obama sinking BILLIONS into solar companies only to have the Chinese buy them at discount when they go bankrupt.

Our economy is better b/c of higher energy production. States like Indiana and Texas leading with business friendly policies.

I don't think we'll be seeing many US companies replacing their IT depts. with H1-B visas workers under Trump.

Southern California Edison IT workers 'beyond furious' over H-1B replacements

Fury rises at Disney over use of foreign workers

Or forcing manufacturers to make products that have no market:

Or dumping billions into pet projects ( well maybe, but MX will pay for it. )

Pres. Obama had a chance to reform immigration and passed. In the meantime, he's used the subject to accuse republicans of being racist and xenophobic.

I'm pro immigration and would support a generous immigration policy. I'd just want American interest put first.

Not the corrupt import of low wage workers the D's, R's and Chamber of Commerce support.

Obama Admin. Admits It Failed to Check Some 175 Immigrants Against FBI Databases
In another embarrassment for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, some 175 immigrants were approved for citizenship even though their names weren't properly run through the FBI's databases for background checks, The Washington Times reported.

The Obama administration admitted the breakdown in procedure and a halt was ordered for approving all new citizenship applications last week. Homeland Security officials blamed an ongoing process of digitalization for the problem, which affected about 15,000 applications.

Earlier this year, USCIS admitted it had mistakenly given citizenship to hundreds of criminals whose records went unnoticed, because the agency wasn't properly checking their fingerprints.

And just two weeks ago, Fox News' Tucker Carlson reported that the Department of Homeland Security acknowledged that tens of thousands of green cards went missing, which could be improperly used by terrorists, criminals, and undocumented aliens to remain in the United States.

Only 175?

So I have 1, 2, 3, people literally get upset with the low 4.6% Unemployment Rate, lowest in like 10 years, lower than when Obama took office. They probably realize it's going to go back up under Trump and they will twist themselves like a pretzel in the future when they try to explain how a higher Unemployment Rate is better than a lower one.

You're delusional

You're delusional

Will use this quote in the future when it goes back up and you do exactly that. Like a pretzel.

Unemployment rate is 4.9 percent, but a more realistic rate is higher than that

Now go google participation..

You seriously can't read a chart or link even after I posted it? It's was 4.9%, it's now 4.6% - http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

Then you used a CNBC link from last month, not this month. You already got the graphic up for yourself, saves me some time.

If there was a Republican President in the White House right now, the reactions would be different. That's how you anger some Republicans/Conservatives, post positive news about America. If the roles were reversed and some Democrat President handed over the worst economy since the Great Depression to an incoming Republican, so bad the Unemployment rate went all the way up to 10%, and when that Republican left office, it was 4.6%, you Republicans would be happy about that.

Hmmm.. sound like you don't want to face reality. That's OK, let me help you.

PARTICIPATION RATE

Just ignore there are less people working but we don't count those b/c they've been unemployed so long.. or are working 2 or three part time jobs that aren't counted..

 

[JB Lions]

I understand how that works, works the same way when it was 10%. Little kids in preschool can understand simple stuff like 4.6 being less than 10. And when it goes back up, I want to see you posting in this thread the same stuff. Be consistent with it across the board.
