So, just because a 11-year old kid falls asleep during the State of the Union Speech, that automatically makes him a hero? It was 9 pm when the Speech started and I'm pretty sure that it was about 10:30 when this picture was taken. That kid was tired. Don't bring in children to your political warfare Anti-Trump supporters.

That kid was awake for most of it, and clapping often. Heck, sometimes he'd slide down in his seat and look at people behind him upside-down. He's a normal, healthy boy.

It shows you how much Trump won during the SOTU address that they're desperately scrambling to find anything to claim as a victory. It shows you how alone and afraid these people truly are when they're trying to incidentals as proof of allyship.

I'm not tired of winning, Mr. Trump!

This is something I hear a lot, in fact this was brought up in a discussion I was having yesterday. And to be honest, when you look at unemployment numbers over the years... well...

2008: Last year of the Bush Jr. Presidency. Unemployment was at 7.3, up from 5.0 the previous year.
2009: Obama takes office. 9.9% unemployment. Side note, jobless benefits were extended this year. No idea if that would have any impact on the numbers.
2010: 9.3%
2011: 8.5%
2012: 7.9%
2013: 6.7
2014: 5.6
2015: 5.0
2016: 4.7
2017: Trump takes office. 4.1%
2018: 3.9

It's a little hard for me to dispute, I mean, as much as it annoys me when people insist nothing good is because of trump, the data seems to support their argument. As bush left office, unemployment was bad and climbing. While Obama was in it fell continuously. Once trump got in it continued on that trajectory.

So... am I missing something? Also, why did Obama say a sub 4% unemployment rate was impossible when he was almost there?

One thing to remember about unemployment rates is that nobody is counted who is not jobless and deemed "looking". People who are self-employed out of necessity or underemployed don't count. People who give up or go back to school (e.g. "learning to code") don't count. People who emigrate don't count.

ETA: Useful information.

wow , so this guy has this as a recurring dream?! I would say this has to be a joke, but these days with bronies simply being who they are and everyone Trumpist/Anti-Trumpist being insane; this sadly seems possible.

If Freud was alive, he would be having a field day. Even at just sarcasm, just thinking of this is crazy on a whole different level.

Let's connect the dots...in reverse chronological order:

1. Stocks dip on video games projections
2. EA announced Battlefield 5 missed the mark by 1mil units.
3. Fans don't buy Battlefield 5
4. EA's CCO: "If you don't like it, don't buy it".
5. Fans of Battlefield pissed at lack of historical accuracy.
6. EA adds women to a WW2 game.
7. EA devs want to ride on an untapped market: SJWs.
8. SJWs swarm the media with "Orange Man Bad" and shitty vagina costumes.
9. Orange man is elected to presidential office.

There we go! It all makes sense!

I’m excited to see Anthem bankrupt EA soon. Either that or Disney taking away the SW license from them.

Also, BF5 was shit.

Oh I know, there's a lot of weirdness hidden in the numbers, but do you have any reason to believe Trump's low unemployment numbers are any more or less legit than Obama's low unemployment numbers?

My inclination is to look at the employment rate, wages in terms of dollar value, and the sectors in which those jobs exist, rather than the unemployment rate; the methodology looks pretty shaky, especially considering the sample size.

More jobs and more people working them are usually good, but if everyone's working at Taco Burger for minimum wage...not so much.

(ETA: I admit I have not fully investigated these numbers, so I have my opinions are more feels than thinks quite at the moment. I don't have an opinion on Trump's war on unemployment yet.)

inb4 they call him "The only good Trump"

unemployment figures, like the rest of the national economy, are not something a president can directly influence very much.

why did they spike up at the end of bushs term? because that's when the housing bubble popped. first real estate went tits up, then finance, and then everything related to finance (which is almost the entire economy).
then, during the obama years, it slowly recovered. why? because that's generally what happens after a massive crisis.
now, in the orange man era, it keeps getting better. why? not because trump is some sort of economic genius who single-handedly made america rich again, but because that's just the way things are going for now.

there's a million factors influencing economic development, and the government is only one of them. things like trumps earlier tax cut do help, but their influence on the overall situation is still rather small.

The big thing with Trump's economy is that the labor force participation rate is going up, even as unemployment is slowly dropping. The labor force kept dropping under Obama. It was kind of funny in a way, under Obama 150K jobs created (or saved, and god wasn't that a laughable metric) was worthy of praise, where 300K is called anemic under Trump.

Reminds me of when they were crapping on Barron the day after his Dad's victory in 2016 and how "uninterested" he looked at the victory speech. Never mind that speech was at almost 3 in the morning, far past the usual bed time for a kid his age.

Well there was go, that's the sort of info I was looking for. More participation in the labor force with falling unemployment is way more impressive than falling unemployment with less participation. Hell, less participation naturally means less unemployment.

Thanks. Now I can be slightly less poorly informed the next time me and some other ill-informed person argue about which half of tiger woods is hitting the ball so good whether Trump has actually improved the economy.

Didn't they also call him autistic, throwing all distaste for ableism out the window?
