Aint that a kick in the orange POTUS ... Neil Young: Trump 'A Disgrace to My Country'

[westwall]

Neil Young? He's a fucking Canadian, eh. Who the fuck cares what he has to say?

Hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions care what Neil Young says. You are right in regard to lip-service patriots and decrepit geriatrics, who support Donald Trump, that don't give a shit about anything other than Trump's lies and slander which arouses then.

Yeah, weak minded people do that. They have no lives of their own so live vicariously through others.

Like Trump followers with TSLS, Trump Shit Life Syndrome whose lives are so wretched they are prepared to follow Donald Trump, a lying, fornicating, con man.

Trump followers brighten their TSLS with a bag of lies

Whatever the Trump howling mob says, Hollywood stars, singers, and musicians have a voice and do influence people, especially the young.

Neil Young has a great following among the 'young' while Trump's following is mostly among the old and decrepit.

Donald Trump is a disgrace who has divided the USA and has divided the world while trashing the whole world economy.

Trump is not only polluting the environment and the world economy, but he is also polluting the GOP as the whole of the GOP lawmaker flock is disgraced and tarnished by their disgraceful obeisance to Trump in the impeachment investigation and trial. In particular, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have demonstrated they are total tools of Donald Trump and are incapable of ever challenging for the POTUS nomination.

Neil Young: Trump 'A Disgrace to My Country'

Neil Young on Wednesday released an open letter ripping President Donald Trump as a “disgrace,” saying his “mindless destruction of our shared natural resources, our environment, and our relationships with friends around the world is unforgivable.”

And what Neil Young believes is relevant why???? Every one can make their own mind up, but if your still in the groupie phase of life, glad that works for you.

Trump howling proletariat prefer the lies of a proven fornicator, slanderer, and cheat, Donald Trump. Trump bleating flock are following a judas goat to lead them to the end of days.

And you can't present the slightest bit of evidence for your claims which makes you just plain old stupid.

The Ratings For Award Shows Are Tanking

The telecast for the 92nd Oscars on ABC delivered an average audience of 23.6 million viewers, an all-time low for the most prestigious televised award show. The audience delivery was 20% lower than that of the 2019 telecast.

Lip-service patriots like you and your ilk, who suffer from TSLS, Trump Shit Life Syndrome, are watching Donald Trump rallies and having erections which divert blood from your decrepit brains.

Wrong again moron, you TDS'ers are going to cry again in 2020, when you finally put up an old white guy as your Candidate, and the minorities who have been slowly gravitating towards the President give him a very good showing. Then you will cry once again, burn cities, and start hurting people...At that time it will be open season...

Younger and Minority Workers Lead Wage Gains as Expansion Ages
Oct. 17, 2019, 8:59 AM

A tightening labor market with U.S. unemployment rate at a 50-year low is starting to result in higher wages for full-time workers, including younger people and minorities whose pay has lagged.

Median weekly earnings for Americans in the third quarter rose 3.6% to $919, outpacing inflation, the U.S. Labor Department reported Wednesday. Earnings for those aged 25 to 54, in their prime working years, rose by 5%, the fastest rate of growth in recent years.

Record-low black unemployment cheered by black activists
Published 1 month ago on September 9, 2019

[...]

“Love him or hate him, this is an incredible economic accomplishment for the President and a tremendous benefit for American blacks,” said Project 21 member Derryck Green.

Along with a reported third straight month of 3.7 percent overall unemployment, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) August jobs report noted that the overall black unemployment rate fell half-a-percent to 5.5 percent. This is the lowest black unemployment rate ever recorded. BLS began reporting employment statistics by race in 1972. And with overall white unemployment at 3.4 percent, it is also the smallest reported gap between the races ever in terms of joblessness. Until recently, the racial employment disparity between blacks and whites has generally held to a 2-1 margin.

America Created 266,000 Jobs in November
JOHN CARNEY 6 Dec 2019

The imaginary recession of 2019 is over.

The U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs for the month and the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, matching the lowest level in 50 years.

Economists had expected the economy to add 180,000 jobs and for unemployment to remain unchanged at 3.6 percent, according to Econoday.
Adding to the picture of strength for the labor market, previous jobs numbers were revised up. September’s figure was revised up by 13,000 to 193,000. October was revised up by 28,000 to 156,000. Together, that adds 41,000 more jobs than previously reported.

[...]

Average hourly wages are up 3.14 percent compared with last year, above economist expectations. In manufacturing, the average workweek increased by 0.1 hour to 40.5 hours. Average hourly ages of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees rose by 7 cents in the month to $23.83, a 0.22 percent gain.

The November hiring surge pushed incomes for Americans higher last month.
by JOHN CARNEY
20 Dec 2019

Incomes rose by half a percentage point in November, above economists’ forecasts and much better than the soft readings in September and October. This was the strongest gain since July, according to data from the Commerce Department on Friday.

Consumer spending rose at a 0.4 percent annual rate last month, led by a jump in spending on big-ticket durable goods like autos and appliances.

The higher spending is not due to rising prices. Inflation, as measured by the Federal Reserve’s preferred price indicator, is still running well below the Fed’s 2 percent target. It came in at just 1.5 percent for November compared with a year ago.

And despite the rise in consumer spending, Americans are saving more. The saving rate edged up to 7.9 percent of after-tax income in November.

US-China phase 1 trade deal: Beijing agrees to buy $200 billion in US products
By Michelle Toh, CNN Business
11 hrs ago [Jan 16. 2020]

China has agreed to buy hundreds of billions of dollars worth of products from the United States as part of their "phase one" trade deal.


The agreement signed Wednesday will have Beijing purchase an additional $200 billion of US goods and services over the next two years.

The increase in purchases will be compared to 2017, before the trade war started. China imported over $185 billion in total US goods and services that year.

In exchange, Washington has agreed to reduce tariffs on $120 billion in Chinese products from 15% to 7.5%.

Taken together, the phased purchases by China would result in a dramatic surge in US exports. Total exports to China would increase to over $260 billion in 2020, and roughly $310 billion in 2021 if the deal holds
