How appropriate.

(15,353 posts)Not the folks who warned us what would happen if we elected these fucksticks.
Folks are saying DUers are "joyful" because of the stock market collapse.
What you're hearing is not cheers. It's a loud, sustained, I Told You So!!.
And I'm getting about fucking sick and tired of folks coming on here and complaining that our prediction of economic calamity is somehow cheering for the stock market to drop.
Let me see if I get this straight.
Step 1 - Democrats and American History say that Retrumplicans ALWAYS fuck up the economy.
Step 2 - From 2014 - 2016, Democrats warned ON A DAILY BASIS , that electing this absolute piece of human garbage... this orange amphibian turd... would be a fucking disaster for our country. In fact, a lot of us warned until we were blue in the face!
Step 3 - Despite over a century of history and the warnings of what would happen if this orange dipshit was elected, a minority in a majority of the right places elected him.
Step 4 - The predictions that this piece of shit was unfit, would leave us vulnerable, would be the most incompetent jackass to ever sit in the oval office...all those predictions have been proven true.
Step 5 - Donnie Shit for Brains incompetence in handling or preparing for a crisis, has now turned into a conflagration that appears to be headed to a downright depression that will have people longing for the "good old days" of 1930.
Step 6 - Dems must remain silent as the market tanks.
Is that about right?

(19,114 posts)Until then, the tax rates were Obama's, the laws and policies were Obama's and Trump's budget had only been in effect for 3 months, hardly time to have an effect.
Trump started with 24,719 in the DOW. We're down 14% under Trump.
