Liberals are in trouble if Rock concedes the economy is doing well.

It isn't just the stock market. Consumer confidence and small business numbers are the highest they've been since the 80s.

...and they've been that way--and rising--since before Trump.

So good job Donald not ruining that in your first 4 months.

reminds me of this amazing thing

Lmao I love that picture. All allegiances aside, that's such a GREAT piece by Fox. It makes low IQ people think Obama was horrible for the country, which is exactly what they want. They aren't going to think "wait, 3 months isn't enough time to do anything really", they're going to see Obama's and Trump's names with 9.0 and 4.5 respectively and think how horrible Obama was and how great Trump is.

It's probably my favorite example of fox bias. I love it so much.

I have my doubts that you're in tune with small business owners and investors, bro. There was an immediate effect and they all credit Trump for it. Obama's effect on economics was legendarily bad. I like the dude, but he was terrible on finances.

I disagree here, nearly every source I look at that isn't heavily biased has Obama's effect on the American economy as a net positive, especially his second term, seems like the economy was climbing steadily as he left office. Not saying Trump did anything wrong or has hurt the economy because he obviously hasn't, but I wouldn't say Trump "saved the economy from Obama" or anything like that, I think he just picked up where Obama left off.

Honestly, Ulti and Seph are right. This SHOULD be a humiliating loss.

The left is content to just go along, business as usual, and expect "Look how bad Trump is!" to win them elections.

New flash. Business as usual isn't going to work.

They need to wake the fuck up.

I appreciate your honesty here instead of going with partisan crap.

I'm a registered independent, not a republican, and there's a lot of things the left does that I agree with. TONS of things the right does that I fucking hate. The right is dead wrong on most social issues, and military spending is fucking stupid right now. The drug war is ridiculous. The anti-gay stuff should have already been a dead issue. The right during the Obama years would happily tell us that you're more likely to die from a bee sting than a terrorist, but now Trump is in there and all I hear about are terrorists. Even taking into account recent terrorism, the numbers are nothing compared to things like obesity, cancer, heart disease, and so on. Isn't there better stuff to spend our time on? If a terrorist wants to blow himself up, you won't stop him. But we can put that 40 million dollars Ossoff got into cancer research, you know? Shit's so dumb.

The left needs to disavow all this violence, this "resistance" garbage, and just relax. Losing one election isn't the end of the world. But when they sit there and do dumb things like follow up "not all Muslims are terrorists" (which is true!!!!!! most muslims are the nicest people you'll ever meet) with blaming all white people for any violent act from a white guy, they are directly costing democrats votes. The public is sick of this stuff and sees right through what the media is doing.

There are more democrats than republicans in this country, largely because people relate to social issues when the left isn't moving the overton window too far left. It's no accident that the election in South Carolina was closer than the one in Georgia. Just play things straight. How have they not figured this out yet? I'm no political strategist, but I can see the path for the left here. The country wants "middle" -- centrists. Give it to them.

Agree with all this.

I'm responding directly to you. Everyone of those is a response to a post you made about me or a response to a post someone else made about you. By your criteria, looks like you're literally obsessed.

Nah, my personal life turned around the second I stopped spending unnecessary time with people like you, both on and offline. You are nothing but toxic, bitter people who make everyone around you miserable and I don't welcome it in my life anymore. It isn't just Board 8 really, social media in general is designed to turn people into sociopaths.

Turning the computer off unless absolutely necessary is the best decision I made in ages. You are more than welcome to stay addicted to it and let it ruin your life, but it won't ruin mine.

See look at this post, you literally insult the guy multiple times, then hypocritically state you only turn the computer on unless absolutely necessary as if posting this response to a guy you dislike is absolutely necessary.

If someone pisses you off online, let it go and move on, you'll be even more happy then you claim to be, I promise.

I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just saying you're coming across the exact opposite of how you want to.

With all that said, the democrats as they are in the US need to change the way to do things or they are going to lose again and again. I'm quite glad to be Canadian.

I'm sad that all I see Ulti do now is come into politics topics and troll. I used to appreciate his topics/posts so much. Makes me wonder what happened to make him so bitter and unhappy.

My posts in this topic are very happy and are basically the exact opposite of bitter. Please cite specific examples proving your point instead of putting out meaningless platitudes. I'm happy leftists lost yet another election and wasted 40 million more dollars. They went all-in in Georgia, in hopes that flipping the district would send a message to Trump. They lost bigly. Liberals were hoping they could flip a bunch of red districts, but after losing an election where they spent 40 million dollars, democrats are going to be reticent to run in these areas. What likely happens is the country sharply divides into red states vs blue states on the hill, and there are more red states than blue states. If dems couldn't flip this district, what will they flip? That isn't me being bitter, that's just pure analysis. I'm pretty good at analyzing things after the fact, you know ;)

I am not a bitter/unhappy person just because I don't go along with the radicalized SJW leftist garbage that Board 8's liberals go along with. I've been much happier since I stopped posting here, which is not a coincidence. This is an extremely toxic forum loaded with extremely toxic people. Just look at LTM's posting history for an amazing example.

We win elections. We win hearts and minds in the real world. That's all that matters.

Dude... all you do is come in here to post about how you were right about X thing and how all the leftists are idiots. All I see out of you is posts with an express purpose to rub stuff in people's faces/upset people that you dislike. That reeks of bitter unhappiness to me. That you're trying to make yourself feel like a winner despite all the people who tell you otherwise and who are against you in this topic.

I'm not saying other people don't post mean-spirited things either, but it's literally all I see out of you and it sucks when I respect your opinions on so many things. I understand you'll probably say I'm not showing specific examples and my opinion is incorrect/invalid because that's what you do when someone points out such things about you, and that's fine, but eh, I want you to know anyway that that's how I feel. (If you want specific examples, just look at nearly every post by you in this topic so far. You literally post a copy and paste sentence multiple times for what is obviously the express purpose of pissing people off.)

That said, these topics are quite toxic and are a serious echo chamber to an extent, but it doesn't help when almost every person with a differing view (aka, non left) seems to come in with hostilities at full steam, looking to insult/alienate every left leaning person in the topic.

Basically, if you find yourself posting how wrong "leftists" or "liberals" are, you're probably being a dick. On that same note, if you find yourself posting how wrong all right wingers are, you're probably being a dick too. I wish people could just post about politics without being at each others throats, but I guess it's a lost cause.

This is an interesting tweet from Serebii:

https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/872078245465862146

This potentially suggests the game announcement will be only for 3DS.

Wouldn't the region where the Switch hasn't been released yet not mentioning the direct mean it's more likely to be an announcement for a Switch game? If it were a 3DS game there's no reason for Korea not to mention it.

I feel really confident in the opposite. DKC2 may be the internet darling, but no one actually dislikes DKC1. It's still beloved, the hype behind it at the time was huge (GameFAQs is old enough to remember this), and it probably has a much higher playrate. I'd be really surprised if Diddy pulled that one out.

DKC2 would demolish 1.

I'm worried about 2003, because just like 2006, I personally like the year it's facing better, but I still picked it because I thought that's what the site would prefer.

Yeah like I said, every gamer I've asked prefers 2013. I'm surprised 2013 is considered such an upset pick. I guess zeldafaqs is just that strong and I've been here long enough that I should know that.

Smash Wii U username: McTavish

Man, I'm pretty upset I'm not on the leaderboard yet. Here's hoping 2013 pulls the upset tomorrow.

I gotta admit, I was less confident with 2011 then I am with 2013, but 2013 appears to be a larger upset, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

I showed the matches to a few friends who are gamers but don't follow gamefaqs before the contest and we were split on opinions 3-1 for 2011 being the better year, but we all decided 2013 was the better year.
