Are you as pissed as I am when you watch

Pundits and Politicians on balanced News Outlets...continually bring up the fact that Trump should be talking
more about his economic successes and stop his nonsensical comments concerning everything else.

This especially was true with the lead up to the last "Blue Wave" Election

They( Republican Pundits) had nothing...except the economy and it was mentioned every 60 seconds during their interviews. Even some of the pundits I like on these shows stated this nonsense.. "Why doesn't he talk about the economy?" Fuck the Economy.. It's just an extension of Obama's Economy!
It really pissed the hell out of me

Trump is a complete disaster... I hope anyone who has any sense of reality/honesty never gives Trump credit for anything except tearing our country viciously apart.. Certainly not the Fucking Economy!

Yep and I did not even mention the National Debt problem he is driving up.. Hardly fucking mentioned!

Unemployment is down - but people are not getting good paying jobs. Wages haven't risen significantly and many people have to work more than one job to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.

Plus the stock market is getting pretty wobbly right now.

We are fully retired and living on SS and savings. I have considered going back to work lately.

That and the "both sides do it" statements from repugs that are just thrown out there and get no response.

DVD player and Netflix. Nothing else.

I don't watch any television news. Not even on the internet. Don't ever want to be that old guy screaming at his television.
