Obama, Wes Moore, Condoleezza Rice and others blow tommy sowell out of the water as role models.
And James Baldwin.
:dunce: Gotta love how Klamala hates smart black men.

You believed dipshit Krugman when he said Trump was going to wreck the world economy. Have you or anyone you follow been right about Trump's economic endeavors? No!

And then ask yourself why Al Sharpton is a household name

Then ask, which one of them is a better role model for not only blacks, but everyone?

Obama's an idiot and hardly a role model. He's the piece of shit that not only started the problems in America, but turned the Patriot Act surveillance inwards on America.

Condi Rice is a good one that I kind of liked, but rumor has it she is the one that drove Putin over the edge with her constant lecturing and demeaning posture towards Russia ….

She might’ve been smart, but she wasn’t smart enough to know what her behavior was doing to Vladimir 20 years ago

Global Recession Predicted immediately after the 2016 election that Trump's victory would lead to a global recession. The global economy continued to grow, and the U.S. stock market rallied significantly in the period immediately following the election.

Market Non-Recovery Stated in 2016: "If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never." The stock market experienced a prolonged period of growth, reaching multiple record highs throughout the 2017–2020 period.

Recession (2019) Cited the inverted yield curve in 2019 as a strong indicator of an impending recession due to Trump's economic policies.

Oh yeah. The market recovery and ascension post great recession befuddled every economist and portfolio manager. It still does. Perpetual growth occurs nowhere in the universe. The non-day tracer/robinhoodling types are still waiting for a significant correction and reset.

Let me know when you want to put on big boy pants and have a real discussion.

:rofl: With the Rec Management major? Dude, you can barely put two cogent sentences together on any myriad of topics.

You love Krugman, he ran his mouth and was wrong and now you won't own it. Golf rules apparently.

You’d hate real competitive golf. It requires honesty.

And you dodged my point.

And you’d flunk out of the highly recognized Rec program at the Harvard of the Palouse. Besides, I don’t need a degree in finance or economics when my financial advisor has been at it since the early 70’s and has managed the retirement portfolios of large organizations. I just pay attention and learn what he has to say.

But you keep playing in the sandbox of childish insults and gotchas, Junior.

I don’t have a degree in finance or economics and I don’t use a financial advisor except for my own brain..

Why would anyone think you need a degree to be a financial advisor?

Now, admittedly, I’m gonna have to look into finding an estate planner because all of my common sense has done very very well

thank you very much :nod:

“Freedom is not simply the right of intellectuals to circulate their merchandise. It is, above all, the right of ordinary people to find elbow room for themselves and a refuge from the rampaging presumptions of their “betters.”

I really love that quote!

The 'rampaging presumptions of their “betters”' applies to both the woke left and the Christian right.

That's the thing about tommy, he doesn't seem to realize that his critiques of the left also very frequently apply to the right as well.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

And the point flies over your head again - the names were examples.

tommy also forgot to include politicians who sell out their country's interests in order to enrich themselves and their family and friends.
