What, exactly? I am not trying to be cantankerous, I am truly asking. What qualifications does this 37 year old with tons of student debt (I recall that part from him), who is mayor of a small city, have that he should be president?

Such as?

#breaking should be limited to one tweet per day, per account His response:

People didn't like what they saw after the first one and tuned out for the second one? Democratic debate on CNN sees steep ratings drop The first night of CNN’s Democratic debate in Detroit drew 8.7 million television viewers, a steep drop from last month’s event hosted by NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo. The June event brought in 15.3 million viewers across the three networks on Night One, with 18.1 million tuning in for the second night, a Democratic primary record. </snip>

And, so? Baby boomers have been turning 65 for eight years now. If you are going strictly by the people turning 65 numbers as leaving the work force, and those people being replaced, then shouldn't the "experts" be spot on with their monthly layoff, hiring, jobs, and people in the work force predictions? I think things are more nuanced than most can predict.

Turning 65 does no equal retiring that day. Some of those people have previously retired, many will continue to work full-time, many will work part-time. Simply because someone turns 65 it does not equal a job opening left behind by that person.

I don't know, how many baby boomers retired in July?

The shouty letters are not mine, they are CNBC's: FED CUTS RATE BY A QUARTER POINT, CITES ‘GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTS,’ ‘MUTED INFLATION’ • The policymaking Federal Open Market Committee dropped the target range for its overnight lending rate to 2% to 2.25%, or 25 basis points from the previous level. • The Fed cited “implications of global developments for the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures” in its first rate cut since December 2008. • The Fed also left the door open to future cuts, saying it will “act as appropriate to sustain the expansion.” • The central bank also ended its balance sheet reduction two months earlier than planned. </snip>

This is so mean, but I still laughed:

No idea. China is not very trustworthy, IMO.

U.S. private sector adds 156,000 jobs in July: ADP U.S. private employers added 156,000 jobs in July, above economists’ expectations and supporting the view of a firm domestic labor market, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday. Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast the ADP National Employment Report would show a gain of 150,000 jobs, with estimates ranging from 100,000 to 185,000. Private payroll gains in the month earlier were revised up to 112,000 from an originally reported 102,000 increase. </snip>

China to buy more U.S. farm products, talks to resume in September: White House China will ramp up purchases of American agricultural exports, a White House spokeswoman said on Wednesday after U.S.-China trade talks concluded in Shanghai, offering no other details. </snip>

This explains a lot, especially the Cuban Meth Gators.

I said in the debate thread when he did this it was gonna end up a meme. Seeing it as a still, I am now certain it will!

Most of these people seem detached from reality. In all fairness, it is kinda tough for them running against the current economy and trying to intimate (or outright say) the economy is bad when nothing could be further from the truth. The medicare for all is a loser, the taxing the rich is a loser, and racist, racist, racist (oh and Bernie says Trump is a sexist and homophobic too ) is probably not a winning campaign strategy either. And tomorrow is round 2. Oh joy.

Holy *****, Buttigieg is saying "David Duke" and the Republicans and racism in the same sentence. These people are not only nuts, they are extreme and projecting that extremism onto others.

LOL They love Marianne Williamson in this crowd. She's a kook, and funny (not intentionally), but oy to this county if she gets anywhere close to the presidency.

Buttigieg pulling out the scripture-card.

LOL Tim Ryan - I'd keep some of Trump's tariffs but he's bungled the whole thing. Umm so why keep anything? Taking on Trump's economy is tough for these people, and they are telling out and out lies.

HTH can you tell a name on a resume is "black"? Pete Buttigieg is a wack-job. And Trump is racist and a bigot!! WHOOHOOO!! New Democratic debate talking-point! OMG!! Beto wants the reparations bill. LMAO And Marianne Williamson thinks it is "owed" to black people.

Amy Klobuchar - a trillion dollars here, a trillion dollars there...and we can solve all out climate change problems. Marianne Williamson - everyone is bigoted! Everyone is racist! And we need to say that! (because goodness knows, none of the Ds have said that before)

Do you live in WNY? If so, how can you say the Canadian health care system is good when Canadians are sitting in the waiting rooms here to get MRIs, surgeries, etc in order to get services that are a 6-12 month wait in Canada?

Ok, I am tired of Lizzy lecturing me, and Bernie screaming at me. I cannot imagine electing either one of these goobers to be President.
