OMG... I just figured it out. Drumpf is a warlock and has a magic wand! I found a picture of Drumpf in his younger years and he has the wand in his hand!

Nice looking chart. Here's a look at it from a more arbitrary date (a decade range).

Slope's pretty consistent.

I don’t see any fawning over the Clinton’s except among the black community. That’s an unusual generalization coming from you? You typically aren’t so extreme or rigid.

Clintons and Democrats aren’t in power a whole different troop are damaging our country right now.

You don't have to be in power to damage the country. See the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.

Good lord. The confirmation hearing is nothing compared to the damage being being to our soft power, intelligence services, environment and overall standing in the world. Plus, cuddling up with racists and fascists, and having some of those people in your administration.That’s some more and beam shit.

frank, agreed, those are all bad things, but they don't excuse that confirmation fiasco.

I've wanted to comment on this, but haven't had time until now. Manufacturing jobs stayed in a relatively steady range until 2000, when they dropped off precipitously during the recession. Just as they were making a comeback, the Financial Crisis, killed them. Recovery in this sector has been slow, and seemed to plateau when Obama made his remarks. Now, they are coming back, but I don't expect they'll ever return to the level they were, as most businesses automate when they need to cut, and those jobs are eliminated for good. On the bright side, manufacturing jobs account for only about 10% of the jobs that the service sector provides, and services have made a much better recovery. Short answer: Obama and Trump are both right...and they're both wrong.

And with those corporate tax cuts companies are replacing us all at an accelerated pace!

I wished I had studied AI in college... those AI kids are making a killing now.

I literally looked at this tweet and expected to see that it was a babylonbee tweet, as it is the same level of intelligence and humor that I usually see from them.

The director of the DOJ probably just rolls his eyes when he gets these requests from Warren, which seems to be weekly.
