I like these made up fake numbers because now I can say that Obama increased our debt by $600,000 trillion in 2150 dollars…

This is wildly optimistic.I like these made up fake numbers because now I can say that Obama increased our debt by $600,000 trillion in 2150 dollars…
And if the value reported had been just the raw numbers, folks on your side would've crowed about how inconsequential it all was and how much of a genius the man is. However you want to measure it, the numbers in that article suggest that it's at least $100m in raw dollars on top of the successful business and extensive political contacts that his father had already built.
To be clear: Your argument is that 14 million dollars had the same value in the 1970s as it does in 2019.So when he received the funds it was NOT 400 million. It is just stated that way as part of a politically charged bias. it sounds better to the haters.
"fake numbers". I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that you have labelled the historical, DOCUMENTED increase in the valuation of American currency as "fake numbers".I like these made up fake numbers because now I can say that Obama increased our debt by $600,000 trillion in 2150 dollars…
Whataboutisms just don’t work anymore.
Clearly some have stopped even trying at this point.Nothing I said was a whataboutism.
To be clear: Your argument is that 14 million dollars had the same value in the 1970s as it does in 2019.
You realize how wrong that is though right?
Now, Pommer, be nice!First I never made that claim and it is in great error for you to say I did. You do know how wrong it is to do that though right?
To be clear - I don't believe a person who cannot read above a third grade level, who is dishonest, incompetent, racist, sexist, has onset dementia, spends most of his time watching tv and all the other things attributed to the President AFTER he decided to run for office, has the ability to take a large sum of 14,000,000 of funds and property in one city and turn it into 350 different entities, in different nations and cities in the United States and is now worth 341 times more money than what he started with.
Then to believe someone who cannot read above a third grade level, who is dishonest, incompetent, racist, sexist, has onset dementia, spends most of his time watching tv can win the nomination for a political party, out performing 16 career politicians who were better funded with more history and experience, then go on to win a national election against one who was "the most qualified" candidate who out spent him 2 to 1.
I am just not gullible to believe that is probable, let alone likely.
Now the haters are scrambling to find ways to change the narrative and diminsh who he is and what he has accomplished. They are in full panic mode.
There is no comparison, which I rather suspect you know to be the case.
Obama was in many ways untouchable, above criticism, at least from people in positions of authority, and regardless of how pompous, authoritarian, or ill-conceived his actions were. By comparison, we are now living in a country awash with the most vulgar and even absurd hatemongering.
We have opponents even calling for the presidents assassination nowadays, so if anybody says that a few people thought it odd that Obama did not have a birth certificate, it would take a very partisan person to equate the two actions with a straight face.
And as for slowing the wheels of government, nothing compares with what the self-described ”RESIST!” movement (Get it? That is what they themselves say is their objective) has done, not just slowing the passage of legislation but preventing the confirmation of hundreds of ambassadors, cabinet officials, and so on who are needed for government to function properly.
The opponents are now going so far as to oppose legislation an policy that they supported an voted for...prior to the election of President Trump, that is. That should show anyone how deeply committed they are to their strategy.
"fake numbers". I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that you have labelled the historical, DOCUMENTED increase in the valuation of American currency as "fake numbers".
It reflects so perfectly the Trump supporters mindset.
Nonsense. For one thing, that was about stray individuals.
It now is heard from prominent people, elected officials even, Congresspersons included,
along with other celebrities. Also, it used to be the case that doing such a thing brought legal action against such persons. That apparently is not the case anymore.
I have a $20 bill from 1950 and 1974 and just tried to convince the clerk at the store that their “real” worth is $308 in “today” dollars. Their first remark was “no they are not” and the second was “they are fake” probably due to the years of Obama supported common core and socialism that has been taught in the public school system and not knowing what real money looks like.
Your so called historical, DOCUMENTED increase in the valuation of American currency is fake news because the value DID NOT increase!
We have a sterling silver Nef...it’s in the shape of a small galleon set on wheels under full sail and running before the wind!Oh please! "Francine Neff"? What kind of fake name is that?

You should consider jumping into your Delorian and getting back to 1950 with that 20$ bill. You could buy any of the following:I have a $20 bill from 1950 and 1974 and just tried to convince the clerk at the store that their “real” worth is $308 in “today” dollars. Their first remark was “no they are not” and the second was “they are fake” probably due to the years of Obama supported common core and socialism that has been taught in the public school system and not knowing what real money looks like.

That cross getting heavy?
Or was it possible your query was nothing more than admitting there was nothing else to present and perhaps a snide comment was the very best in the tool belt.
Oh please! "Francine Neff"? What kind of fake name is that?
