Kenyan fascist socialist Marxist muslins that represent the Democratic party, all propped up by Barbara Streisand, Gore Vidal and George Soros.

Fox News said it, so it must be true!

Otherwise he'd know how badly he was failing as a socialist.

That Marx.... He spins up a good story, but then has no idea how to resolve it.

I kid, but it is much easier to identify the problems with Capitalism than it is to solve the issues.

Don't bother answering the question, it's rhetorical.

The DJIA hit a market low of 6,443.27 on March 6, 2009 after eight years of the GOP wrecking ball. Yesterday it ended at ~18,024.

18,024/6,443 = 2.7974546

6,443 * 2.7974546 = 18,024.

Someone else do the math on what the GOP wrecking ball did from Jan 21, 2001 - Jan 20, 2009.

modern day reincarnation of Jesus Christ is beyond me.

If you can afford the Dow, where it happens to stand on any given day is irrelevant.

401(k) funds are not serious retirement instruments unless you are in the top 10%.

My fixed pension is twice per month what I will bet from my annuitized 401(k)

That's been debunked so many times, that the GOP has lost the presidency for at least a few more generations. If they didn't gerrymander the shit out of districts, I bet we would see that reflect in Congress as well. The SCOTUS is a lost cause for now.
