Are the Democrats still riding that old "Hispanics will outnumber everyone else forever" horse? And if so, does she not realize she's making a powerful argument for limiting immigration?

Especially with Cortez in congress. Cortez makes a lot of people smarter. All they have to do is stand next to her.

Considering that majority of the Democratic women were wearing white during the SOTU speech, I'd want to say...maybe? All I could think about those women was "Are they trying to say that they are pure? That they are virgins?" So, your guess is as good as mine.

Look at her. Misses High-and-Mighty Pelosi thinks she is God, just because she refused to stop the silly Russia investigation. Look at her, it's like she won the lottery or something. This angle is the best because it reminds me of this picture.

From what I can gather apparently the whole "women in white" thing is something that happened a few times during the Women's Suffrage movement and this year will mark the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th amendment. So it was just some dumb little protest thing against Bad Orange Man.

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?

Obama said 4% was impossible because he was a terrible president and should have been tried for treason for some of the shit he pulled to advance his agenda and enshrine "muh legacy".

now, giving maximum fairness to Obama, he was handed a shit sandwich with the housing crisis and the 2007 oil crunch. But he didn't do anything worth while to try to fix it, instead focusing on playing identity politics, sheltering political allies & general rent seeking, sending aid to any person who wasn't American, and giving health insurance companies an open runway to fleece the entire US population.

Unemployment under Trump has dropped to historic lows for a few reasons:
First, illegal immigrants have left, fearing his deportation rhetoric. This can't be discounted. I forget the numbers, but its a hundred thousand or so jobs that now have to be filled by reporting citizens.
Second, the 'gig economy'. You have people marginally employed by Amazon/uber that you didn't really have with Obama.
Third, perception of Trump. Trump is perceived as pro-business and general optimism. Obama was doing everything he could do to weaken America and strengthen the "global community"; there is no reason to invest in American industry when the leadership is making it easy to ship your operations oversees. Trump is viewed as business friendly. Investors are more willing to part with their dollars on ventures, because they're now viewed as less risky. This combined with Trump's pledges to make it harder to operate internationally and sell locally mean that starting or expanding domestic operations is a smarter and safer move than ever.


I guess tl;dr is that it is true the unemployment isn't under a president's direct control, they influence perception (e.g. investor confidence) and so they can influence it.

No opinion is so right that it can't be had by the wrong people.

"No more white people by this Thursday. Totally trust this projection that limits the definition of 'white' to like three families in rural Idaho. That's how it works, right?"
