Clinton didn't run in 2000. He'd just survived impeachment and the economy was about to tank. Which it started to do during the Bush-Gore contest.

NOT THIS TIME YOU DIDN'T. Your chart shows job growth ( or shrinkage ). GDP is clearly shown to have gone UP especially in 2018 after Trump's tax cuts kicked in. GDP routinely sucked under Obama. For all EIGHT Years ! The fact remains is that we had good economic growth under Trump. Not as much as I would like but MUCH better than under Obama. We had record low unemployment ; increased job growth; increased wage growth ; record low black unemployment ; record low Hispanic unemployment ; millions off Food Stamps after Obama set records and an increased labor participation rate. We also had increases in manufacturing jobs when under Obama they routinely disappeared.
Almost all GDP growth under Obama and almost all job growth was in the PUBLIC Sector. While with Trump it has been primarily in the Private Sector. The deficits result primarily from spending growth. Federal revenues went UP after Trump's tax cuts. As they did after Bush The Dumber's ; and Clinton's Capital Gains Tax cuts ; and Reagan's and JFK's ( passed by LBJ ).
No. Fuck off with that shit. Not interested. Just disbelieve me.
I'm not gonna do your research for you. Period. I have more important shit to do.
Can we move past this now?
No it didn't. GDP growth declined in 2018. GDP growth in 2014 was higher than any year under Trump. Here is the chart again. 2018 starts at the second gray vertical line from the right. The blue horizontal line goes down after that line. 2014 is the second vertical gray line from the left. The blue line is higher after 2014 than it is during any time Trump is in office.

Now please answer these questions:
Did GDP growth go up or down after 2018?
Was GDP growth in 2014 higher than any year Trump was in office?
If you're not able to answer these questions correctly, there is no point in having further discussion.
Dude, he'd already served two terms. OF COURSE he didn't run. But he wanted to. Why do you not understand this? I posted Amendment 22 of the CONSTITUTION, did you not bother to read it? Have you EVER read the Constitution?
He cannot run more than twice! IT'S IN THE FUCKING CONSTITUTION!!!!
This is ridiculous. I never disagreed that Clinton was term-limited. Respectfully, I am VERY familiar with what the Constitution says.
If Clinton wanted a third term then too bad , too sad , no way Jose. I think Hillary's RUNS were designed to give Bill a third and maybe a fourth term.
Hillary would have been the president. It doesn't matter what Bill wants. SHE is the president. Or NOT, as it turned out.
The Dems just picked the wrong candidate.
I'm speechless eagle, truly. That was almost entirely a load of fantastical crap mixed with sheer speculation. Your sensitivity to his spouting off is a large part of it, but you're also bootstrapping a lot of spun nonsense to create a narrative that is not supported by his real actions. There are very real things that he COULD do if he truly wanted to impose his will upon others. He could use the FCC to mess with media broadcasting licenses, sick the IRS on his critics like Obama did, truly use the military on domestic soil under the National Emergencies Act (he used federal law enforcement with those riots, not military), have the FBI investigate his political opponents to find whatever dirt possible (sound familiar?), etc., etc.
Flynn lied about something inconsequential and routine and was set up fro the get-go (read the IG report) / Cohen violated his probation / Hitler most certainly did disarm the populace and introduced Germany's first gun registry/ There is zero evidence that anyone from the Trump camp colluded with Russia (read the special investigation report)...I could go on, but I'm not going to keep doing your research for you. Read the underlying reports.
Trump makes a lot of noise for sure, including complaining about the press, but in actual practice he has shown a tremendous restraint in his actual use of power.
Trump did threaten to take away the licenses of TV stations.

Trump did want to use active duty military against protesters.

No, it wasn't inconsequential and routine. It was a very serious matter.

You either don't know this or you don't care.
Hitler did not disarm the population. You're repeating fringe conspiracy theories.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_g...ment#Criticism
You're disconnected from reality if you actually believe that. Trump pushes his power to the max. What's prevented him from going even further are limitations to his power and opposition, not restraint on his end. There's a reason why he was impeached and why multiple people associated with Trump are in prison.
I can make the same abuse of power arguments about Obama. When Congress didn't act to his liking he used Executive Orders and arguably went well beyond his normal executive power particularly concerning immigration. He sicced the IRS on conservative groups he didn't like. His people ( Brennan , Rice , Biden , Jarrett etc. ) started the whole Trump collusion farce.
Again, Obama doesn't matter. He's no longer the PRESIDENT.
And it is pretty clear Trump DID collude with Russia.
Trump took office in the midst of an economic expansion, so there was no reason why the economy wouldn't continue to grow, or unemployment wouldn't continue to decline after he took office. Your other statements about Obama were incorrect too. I noticed that many Trump supporters'/Obama critics' views of economic performance during Obama's presidency, are based on the state of the economy in 2010 at the peak of the downturn, rather than when he left office. Manufacturing jobs increased over Obama's last 7 years, and the number of Americans on food stamps declined during Obama's second term. There was little change in trends after Trump took office.

Incidentally, i think she would have made a terrible President as well. I can't believe she won the primary. HER, OF ALL PEOPLE. She's HATED. Of course Trump won. She had 25 years of political baggage. Very little of it good.
But i still think she'd have been better that this yahoo we've got up there now. As much as i hate to admit that.
So Trump made noises that he never followed up on? Stop the presses! Lol.
Also, if you're using a NY Times article, full of the usual empty hyperbole and spin, as a source document for anything then no wonder you're confused. Read the actual transcripts from his conversations with the Russian ambassador, which are public. It is not uncommon for incoming administration officials of a newly elected President to speak with foreign leaders in advance of taking office.
Also below is a very precise account of exactly how and when Hitler disarmed the Jews and other "enemies of the state." It is a factual accounting, which may also be confusing given that you prefer to get your information from opinion pieces. ;)

I don't think it's a farce at all. I think he ALLOWED Russia to do what they did (and they did, it's indisputable, unless you're drinking the Kool-Aid that is), but he (other than that) had no real part in that. He's not smart enough and would have probably fucked the whole operation up. The guy talks WAY too much for a criminal enterprise like that. They don't like people who talk. He probably knew it was going on, but didn't know the details. Or he was threatened by Putin into finally shutting his fucking mouth. Putin probably has something on him, which means we have a compromised President who talks too fucking much.
I mean, this guy reveals CLASSIFIED information PUBLICLY. How much more stupid can you get? How much more danger can you put America in? "Yeah, we got this new Nuke system." Thanks, very stable genius, you just told the entire world what we've got. Smart move. This happened recently, BTW.
That entire Nuke facility is useless now. If a war starts where do you think the first place they'll go will be?
Far better to keep that shit secret, SO THEY DON'T KNOW WE'VE GOT IT AND WE CAN HIT THEM OUT OF THE BLUE. But no, he just starts bragging about it on fucking TV!!!
God, what a moron this guy is!!! He has NO CONCEPT of National Security. He wants to brag about everything!!!!
"It's stupendous, the best Nuke facility in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD." Meanwhile Russa and China are both like "Where is this place." And now the spies come in. WHAT a fucking idiot. He thinks they're not gonna hear him? He's on FUCKING TV!!!
This guy has no fucking filter.
(I just noticed this one)
I don't give a flying FUCK what you're familiar with. Your education is of no consequence to me.
Reagan had ALZHEIMERS, he died of it. That is beyond dispute, we have records, but you'll have to find them yourself, i'm not going to spend hours looking for them without you PAYING me. And he DID want to overturn 22. That is also beyond dispute. But you'll have to look that up on your own.
And again, i won't do your research for you. Do it yourself, or just live in blissful ignorance. I don't care.
Just disbelieve me if you want. I didn't come here to talk to you, anyway.
By the way, this is a very sexist statement. That she was gonna be his mouthpiece? His Patsy?
Whatever else Hillary was, she wasn't stupid. She knew just what kind of dude she was married to, all his affairs and such. But it would have been HER as the President, not him.
I didn't like her either, but insinuating that it would have been BIIL'S third term is pretty fucking sexist.
If Hillary were half as smart as you seem to think she is then she would have LISTENED to Bill when he advised her to emphasize economic issues and campaign more in Michigan and Wisconsin. She didn't. Trump did. He won those states and the election and in response Hillary went on a bender for months because she couldn't believe she lost and still hasn't accepted it. Neither have many other Dems which is why they want to blame Russia ( at most , they reached a few thousand people via Facebook ) ; or voter suppression ( preventing the dead from voting ALWAYS holds down Dem vote totals ) or God knows what else.
