    Your criticism in general does not apply to Gorsuch nor Roberts.

    Ergo it is dismissed out of hand.

    Q.E.D.

    Accomplishment is so foreign to some people that they cannot distinguish it from privilege.

    With all that education and smartness, Obama left this country in a mess after 8 years. Trump straitened it out in a little over a year and a half. How do you explain that?

    Straightened it out by going into more massive debt?

    Did we expect the man who has declared bankruptcy 5 times and spent the last twenty years relying on mobster money to do anything differently z?

    Got to expect debt in the first year or two when you cut taxes. At least until factories get built and people are hired from all the manufacturing jobs coming back. Look at the debt Obama piled up and he lost over 300,000 manufacturing jobs. Over 90% of his 12 million jobs were service type and part time jobs. You sure aren't paying many taxes with jobs like that. This economy is taking off. You have millions more working. Hundreds of thousands that dropped off the welfare rolls. This economy is better than it's been in decades. The debt will go down or disappear as jobs and businesses are created.

    Why? Obama had about 8 billion in debt and had a lousy economy. I didn't hear you Liberals say anything about that. At least Trump has good jobs coming back, even if he doesn't wipe out all the debt. People are much better off under Trump than they were under Obama. So is the country.

    Indeed. Bush was there overseeing the collapse of the American economy. GFC. Gee, and what has the USA done to ensure it never happens again there?

    No, he is not above average. He is not an average millionaire. He may not be a billionaire as he claims, but he sure isn't the average millionaire. The more money you have, the more you try and invest it and many times those new investments don't pay off. He has not been brought up on charges on anything doing with the Russians. Now it might be he took out loans from a Russian bank that is under investigation of laundering money, but that doesn't make people doing business with that bank of being guilty of the same thing.

    I've got to correct your figures. 8 billion in debt is nothing. Obama was far more incompetent. Liberals on this forum do not understand the economy.

    Obama Leaves Office Having Added $9.3 Trillion to Debt
    https://freebeacon.com/politics/obama-leaves-office-debt/

    When Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the outstanding public debt totaled $10,626,877,048,913. On Jan. 20, 2017, when Obama left office, outstanding public debt totaled $19,944,429,217,106, an increase of roughly $9.3 trillion.

    Kavanaugh even lied about having no connections to Yale. “I have no connections there. I got there by busting my tail,” Kavanaugh said under oath about getting into Yale Law School after attending Yale as an undergrad. In fact, he was a legacy: His grandfather, Everett Edward Kavanaugh, also went to Yale for undergrad, as this yearbook shows.

    Sorry, I meant trillion, not billion. I did read a few months ago the interest on the debt was around 240 billion a year.

    Whiny little bitches tried to derail a SCOTUS appointment with FALSE allegations of sexual assault. They wanted an FBI investigation and they got one and it cleared Brett Kavanaugh. The sad thing is that the are morons here who still believe that he somehow masterminded not one but dozens of rape parties where girls were raped and still kept going back for more and yet NO ONE else seemed to remember them except the liars that the Democrats shoved into the limelight. I have gone from "meh" on Kavanaugh since he is a bit to big government for my tastes to full on support and I hope he lives into his 90s.
