Canada about to fall apart?

Great ROI. Watching the athletes/coaches embrace the FBI director in victory is another endorsement on how this administration is viewed.

You don't actually know what "ROI" means do you?

 

[NashVol11]

Love the fiscal hawks.

Stay consistent. Wait till you see Rand Paul's Festivis Report!

Marcus: "That's what happens when you elect Liberals, the economy gets bad"
Multiple people: "Factually, the exact opposite is true"
You: "Well aren't you a fiscal hawk"

Lmao

Yes, seeing how it’s triggered the left in the name of patriotism is a great ROI.

Sorry toxic masculinity makes you angry. Scream into a pillow in your room.

Isn't is great how all the "fiscal hawks" who championed DOGE and such, suddenly don't mind when someone in the administration literally wastes a half a million+ of their tax dollars, just so they can look like one of the "cool kids" and go and chug beer with Olympic athletes?

People that screamed about tax dollars being spent on AIDS and cancer research, as "wasteful" are all over watching Patel light tax dollars on fire in front of them.

Toxic masculinity hides in the car until someone brings him a woman's medium FBI jacket so he can look tough?

No one respects Patel. His incompetence would be a big deal in any other admin. In the current one he just appears to be as good as the rest of them

Return on Investment?

 

[Majors]

I give you partial credit for trying. Only team chicks with d’s would be upset about a locker room celebration w/Kash. Bought two USA hockey shirts to trigger you more. Great ROI.

You slammed your door and punched the air didn’t you.

DOGE gutted USAID to "save money" and thousands if not millions will die as a result, only for Trump to give the entire USAID budget to himself via the "Board of Peace"

Seriously, the MAGA trans obsession has to be the craziest constant of modern politics.

You guys literally can't go more than a few minutes without thinking about trans people to the point that you detail your own arguments.

Yes, in a sports conversation when patriotism and masculinity is the subject of negativity by the left. We are reminded which side you chose over the last few years.

He looks like an idiot.

I was a bit surprised by the lack of a more universal Team USA Hockey celebration. Not as much, now. Unfortunate.

This is what happens when you elect Liberals. Every single time in my 48 years of life except Clinton...who had the unbelievable good fortune of the .com boom when millionaires were minted every day on the brand new public internet. A goldfish could have been POTUS and had a good economy in that term. Nearly impossible to screw up. Bill was the best Democrat president in my lifetime though...but thats a "tallest midget" contest if I have ever seen one.

Inheriting Reganomics did not hurt either. He did raise taxes substantially leaving a recessionary economy for W.

Clinton never had the budget surpluses or balanced budget he claims, he took surplus taxes from social security to pay down public debt...he simply traded out public debt for intergovernmental debt. He left trillions of dollars of worthless bonds in the social security trust fund that are today having to be cashed out to pay retirees. Gov't is now having to borrow money to cash out those bonds putting the onus on the back of today's young people. Remember idiot Al Gore..'we need to put a lock box on social security' all the while Clinton was raiding those huge social security tax surpluses baby boomers were paying.....

"During the 2000 presidential campaign, Al Gore proposed putting Social Security and Medicare funds into an "ironclad lockbox" to prevent the annual surplus from being used for other government spending. The plan aimed to use the surplus to pay down national debt, ensuring the funds remained reserved for future retirement benefits"

 

[BeardedVol]

Guy was planning this trip for months and is now acting like he didn't go there (on our dime) mainly to see the hockey game

At this point you just assume that the first statement from anyone in the administration is an outright lie, and work from that premise.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Wrong.

The economy has historically performed better under Democratic Presidents, eh.

Here is an objective, data-based summary of how the U.S. economy has performed under Democratic versus Republican presidents since around 1900 (and especially since World War II):

Long-Term Economic Trends by Presidential Party​

Economists and historical data generally show that, on average:

1. Economic Growth (GDP):

• Real (inflation-adjusted) GDP has tended to grow faster under Democratic presidents than Republican ones in most long-term statistical analyses covering the post-World War II period. For example, studies find higher average GDP growth under Democrats compared with Republicans. (Belfer Center)

2. Job Creation:

• Job growth has historically been stronger under Democratic presidencies. Some analyses show private-sector employment growing at a noticeably faster pace during Democratic administrations. (Economic Policy Institute)

3. Unemployment and Recessions:

• Unemployment rates have tended to fall under Democratic presidents and rise more often under Republican ones in historical comparisons. Studies also note that most U.S. recessions in the modern era began under Republican presidents (e.g., 10 out of 11 since the 1950s). (Joint Economic Committee)

4. Stock Market Performance:

• Long-term average stock market returns (e.g., S&P 500) have often been higher during Democratic presidencies than Republican ones in many historical periods. (Observer)

5. Other Measures:

• Some research finds inflation and interest rates slightly lower on average under Democrats, and income growth (especially for lower-income households) stronger under Democratic presidents. (Economic Policy Institute)

Important Context and Limitations​

• Correlation ≠ causation: Economists caution that these patterns do not prove that one party’s policies cause better performance. Many factors outside presidential control (global trends, Federal Reserve policy, wars, technological change, business cycles, inherited conditions, etc.) influence the economy. (Belfer Center)
• Time Period Matters: The strongest patterns emerge for the period since World War II (mid-20th century). Data become sparser and less reliable the further back one goes toward 1900.
• Selection and timing: How analysts assign quarters to presidencies (e.g., beginning or end of term) and whether they include transitions can change some results.

Summary​

In simple historical averages since the mid-20th century:

• GDP growth, job creation, unemployment, and stock market returns have on average looked stronger under Democratic presidents than Republican presidents.
• Recessions have started more often during Republican administrations.
  However, these patterns reflect long-term historical correlations, and economists disagree on how much of the difference is due to presidential policy versus other factors. (Economic Policy Institute)

If you’d like, I can share specific numbers for each presidency (e.g., average GDP growth or job gains by president).

The Carter and Biden admins alone wreck whatever nonsense you pulled from A.I....which for some reason you still think other people are gonna read your responses from a flawed language model. I can pull my phone from my pocket and without even opening it just hold down the power button for 2secs and verbally ask it any question I can think up and get the same A.I. responses you post here all the time. Then it verbally asks me follow up questions to see if I want to research further. Everyone here has the same access to Language Model generated BS that you have...which is frequently wrong and always has a disclaimer at the bottom of every response stating its likely to be inaccurate. I dont know why you copy and paste those responses here. Its just weird man. I actually lived through the Carter, Clinton, Obama x2, and Biden admins. I paid for gas and groceries, worked full time and side jobs, paid bills and had investments during all of those except Carters term. My Dad was an officer in USAF during Carters term with good credit....and his mortgage rate in San Antonio was 18% interest fixed. Not a credit card for college kids. His mortgage. Some statistic about GDP or the stock market from that term cannot make Carters term a good economy. Bidens is the exact same. A good economy is impossible with the highest inflation in our nation's history. Some BS you pull from A.I. spewing Liberal nonsense it read from the internet doesn't undo the facts of lived experience.

Good post. From actual memory and lived experience. With nuance and critical thinking like regarding the high taxes having a lag effect that screwed us during the Dubya term. The economy isn't just 3 or 4 statistics that the government made up on the spot like GDP and unemployment rates. Having actually lived, worked, and struggled at times during different terms gives a better understanding than simply asking Google.

Most of the "the other side is SO TRIGGERED" stuff is made up, especially the stuff about people being unhappy Team USA won. If Biden spent taxpayer money sending the FBI Director to a hockey game without evidence any progress is being made on the Epstein files or Nancy Guthrie, MAGA would never shut up about it

Trust me there are a lot of libs not happy with Team USA in general. I have a Threads account it's sickening the number of anti-American American's on that platform.

The majority of the complaints about Team USA's athletes have come from conservatives (including Trump himself) saying they're not patriotic enough

I agree with that

I've had a problem with that long before President Trump .
