@SW-User @Burnley123 no, we want to make her the face of the Democrat party. Every time she speaks she helps Conservatives.

@HoraceGreenley Sorry, I just remembered something. You are a Trump supporter.
She is not even in the same universe as him in terms of f**k-ups but everyone forgets it because they are just used to it now. The latest thing he said was that the USSR collapsed because they lost the Afghan War. Any basic knowledge of the history and economics of the cold-war would debunk that.
So I'm not sure your leader would get an honours degree in economics and international relations at BU. 馃槀

@Burnley123 I thought we were talking about me and AOC?
Besides, I am not aware of that remark by the President.
A feeble attempt at deflection.
AOC is still an idiot.
But since you brought it up, I am aware that GDO Growth is about 4%, unemployment is falling, the ISIS caliphate has been destroyed, NoKo is not shooting missiles, US trade deficit is falling, for the first time in history the US is selling rice to China, and manufacturing jobs have increased dramatically.

@HoraceGreenley [quote] GDO Growth is about 4%[/quote]
So is your deficit and you are storing up problems for a rainy day. Anyone can cut taxes and stimulate growth. It's exactly what happened under Bush. It's a result of his tax cut so the growth has no long-term benefits to the economy as infrastructure spending would. What happened to his promise of infrastructure spending anyway?
[quote]ISIS caliphate has been destroyed[/quote]
It hasn't. It's much weaker but the big result in Syria is Russia and Asad winning. I'm not blaming Trump for that BTW, just doubting his ability to take credit. I won't attack him for withdrawing troops because I'm a non-interventionist.
[quote]NoKo is not shooting missiles[/quote]
They were never likely to.

Not really. You are attacking AOC because she got some figures wrong. Fair enough, she has. However, if you are gonna call her a stupid person then I'm gonna question what standards you are judging her by. Her standards are much higher than Trumps.

@Burnley123 Your grasp of economics is tenuous at best.
NoKo was shooting missiles weekly for a while last year.
Obama dicked around with ISIS for years. Trump changed the Rules of Engagement and their califate disappeared in 6 weeks.
The feeble attempt at deflection was yours. AOC got a lot more than a few figures wrong.

Anyone who quotes one figure in isolation and can't back it up with details doesn't have a solid grasp of economics. If you knew more than me (or more than AOC) then you could go into [i]specifics [/i]on why you think I am wrong. It's you who is deflecting.
And no, it's Assad who won the war in Syria. I actually don't care tbh and one of the few things I like about Trump is that he is less interventionist than a lot of Republicans but still, to claim he destroyed ISIS it is just silly.

@softspokenman It's a sad state of affairs when the populous is willing to trade their rights to mistreat minorities for happiness.

@HoraceGreenley [quote]NoKo was shooting missiles weekly for a while last year. [/quote] NoKo shot all the missiles they needed to. The final ones had the range to reach anywhere, and this was conclusively demonstrated to the world - their R&D is done.
Now they just need to build more of them. And they are - enthusiastically. While stalling for time, threatening to derail talks over sanctions, etc - you know, their usual. 20 missile bases and counting.
They literally ran circles around trump and got him to lift the pressure, while they're securing their nuclear deterrent every day.
Everyone in the world understands this except for Trump supporters, it's hilarious.
