By every measure Trump uses to measure himself- Obama is the greatest president in American history

Trump has boasted that the stock market's performance shows that he's a great president. Well, the S&P 500 Index went up 58.24% in Obama's first 28 months in office, more than twice the 21.57% it rose during Trump's first 28 months. https://twitter.com/crampell/status/1135222216734498816 …

Presidents don't control stock markets, market is not the economy, etc. Still, once upon a time, Trump used to brag that market gains were a good metric of his success.

Updated chart on how S&P 500 has fared under Trump vs Obama, through comparable periods in their presidencies:

Husbands, take notice.

Damn!
Find yourself a spouse who looks at somebody threatening you, like @douglasemhoff glares at the dude who grabbed the mike away from @KamalaHarris.


When the protestor rushed ⁦@KamalaHarris⁩ at the ⁦@MoveOn⁩ event, Harris’ husband ⁦@douglasemhoff⁩ helped pull the guy off stage.

Trump-Drunk Republicans Are Choosing Russia Over the Constitution

Trump-Drunk Republicans Are Choosing Russia Over the Constitution
Almost every Republican elected official in Washington knows Donald Trump is unfit to be president—yet almost all of them are silent.

Excerpts:

How did this happen? How did the Republican Party descend from the moral heights of Ronald Reagan’s “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall,” to this apologist sewer filled with the weak trying to reassure the weaker that weakness is a virtue?

For the first time in American history we have meticulously detailed evidence that a hostile foreign power attempted to influence the choice of an American commander in chief, and the collective Republican response is apparently, “Our side won, move on.”

The beating heart of America is courage. This is the nation born of the courage of a few who made the impossible appear inevitable. The 75th anniversary of D-Day is upon us, and yet Republicans don’t seem capable of summoning some mix of courage and decency to put country over their next primary. Courage is not standing up to Donald Trump. Courage is getting out of the boat when the man in front of you was just shot. That’s the legacy these Republicans are squandering and it should be called out for what it is: shameful.

...........
At the heart of the Trump presidency is a lie: almost every Republican elected official in Washington knows Donald Trump is unfit to be president. They knew it on Nov. 9, 2016, at 7 p.m., when they were planning on how to rebuild the party from the disaster of a nominating a know-nothing racist for president; and they knew it at midnight, when they were all frantically calling the oddballs and kooks Trump had assembled into a campaign to lavishly praise their brilliance.

The Republican Party stood by a candidate who ran on a religious test to enter the United States. They knew it was unconstitutional and indecent, but they were silent. All through 2016 I had conversations with what passes for leadership in the Republican Party on the need to stand up to Trump. Most of their responses went like this: “Trump is a disaster and a disgrace. But we have to let him lose on his own. If we, the Establishment, put our thumbs on the scale, when he loses it will be our fault and not the fault of his racism, the alt-right, those idiots at Breitbart. We will have elected Hillary Clinton. We have to let him lose and rebuild.”

"oh my gosh, there's the Constitution, we all know how Trump feels about it, we better hide it"

better yet pretend it doesn’t exist, better yet burn it.”

No one is being fired over McCain episode, Mulvaney says, adding it's not unreasonable a staffer saw it & said, "Oh my goodness. There's the John McCain. We all know how the president feels about the senator. Maybe that's not the best backdrop. Can somebody look into moving it?"
