Nancy Pelosi Warns Democrats That President Trump Won't 'Respect' Losing Election Results
They have already proven that they won’t.It is so sad they are so filled with hate.
We should not expect them to ever again accept the results of a presidential election.

They are claiming it is not good. I have a relative that is very much a devoted Democrat, and she was spouting about it on Facebook recently. I am betting it was copied from elsewhere.Gonna be hard for them to run on the economy.
Of course, they say, they are the reason the economy got better.
"The economy is good." 38 million people in the US on food stamps; every child eligible for free breakfast and lunch in Muhlenberg (same as in Appalachia); 18,000 keep the unemployment statistics looking good by leaving the job market due to opiod overdose in one year; the suicide rate higher than ever before and CEOs raking in 200 times the amount of the annual salaries of workers in their companies. That's not my idea of a healthy economy; is it yours?
Compared to eight years of an Obama economy I think the current economy stacks up pretty good. All they had to offer back then was doom and gloom, more dependency on the government and a suggestion that we better just get used to a new norm of higher unemployment, lower wages (except for a $15 minimum wage increase proposal )and lower GDP.They are claiming it is not good.

Yeah, pretty much what came to mind. I refrained from commenting though. Just not worth trying to discuss with them.1) The Obama administration actively recruited people to be on food stamps and other government programs. Many of whom did not really need it. The key thing to compare between administrations is to get at the number of people who needed food stamps then vs now. Given that actual real ass employment is up, and wages for lower income jobs are up, they're pretty full of **** on this one.
2) The problems in Appalachia have more to do with the failing coal industry. It's true enough that the downturn in that industry is largely due to competitive prices from natural gas. But it is dishonest for progressives to say that their "all the above" policies (energy should not come from sources below ground level) have not impacted coal producing regions. Progressives answer to careers lost in the coal industry is "Learn to code". THAT's not helpful. They need jobs they can do. And THEY are as much to blame for poverty in Appalachia as anything. Also, the cause of the opioid crisis is not the economic policies that are causing the growth in GDP and wages in other areas. The solution to that problem may be economic, but it certainly isn't needle exchange programs. Which seems to be all progressive can think of. Unless they're telling the addicts to learn to code as well.
3) The suicide rate: 70% of suicides are men; most of those are white middle aged. More than likely, telling white middle aged men that they're toxic, and problematic, and misogynists, and the cause of everything bad, is not going to help that statistic. More jobs at higher wages is not why men are committing suicide at such high rates.
4) CEO's are making more money, and poor people are making more money. Should it be 200 times as much? That's a different argument from whether or not lower wage people are making more than they used to make under Obama's economic policies. I remember that Obama once said that the days of 3 - 4 % growth were over, and that we had to start living with 1-2% growth. You know, because we must regulate and tax the **** out of businesses.
So yes, what's happening now is indeed my idea of a healthy economy. The things cited are either Democrat's fault, or actually have nothing to do with the policies which are contributing to the higher numbers.
Because the best way to make the economy boom is to tax and regulate the **** out of businesses.
