Commerce Department Revises Second Quarter Growth Up to 4.2%

You forgot to say "again."

Why do I have to keep reminding you?

MAGA!

Had CNBC on for background noise while I worked for part of today. Kept asking how this or that would be negative on a day with the market smashing records, a new trade treaty with Mexico, and Canada banging on the door to get in on it. Amazing how you miss that when you are younger but later in life you notice it.

Looks like pettiness runs in the family.

I wonder if John McCain left instructions to do this before his death?

Remember during the campaign and Trump
was promising 3%, and CNN and MS called
it 'criminal and damaging' to even suggest
such a ridiculous possibility. Obama mocked
and laughed at it. Who's laughing now..

His wife had the option to cross anyone off the list. I don't know that she did or had a reason to, of course, but so far no one else does either.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

John McCain had been planning his funeral for the past year or so. So yeah, this was his decision.

What? McCain has said over and
over that she's why he lost in 2008.
How he never should have let himself
be talked into it. He's hated her guts
for 10 years, she's his scapegoat
to cover up his incompetence.

He never could man up and admit he was awful. He thought the media liked him and would carry him.

A lot of Vietnam vets hate him. Many family's of POW's hate him.

There are many other stories that contradict McCains stories and his father the admiral's stories about what happened. The Navy's own record of McCain's actions aboard the Forrestal and subsequent possible sinking of an aircraft carrier are available if anyone cares to read them.

It is at least questionable why John was evacuated from the Forrestal fire to Saigon, the next day while it was still on fire for R&R. They were still triaging wounded to the ship nearby while John was sipping bourbon in Saigon.

This was happening at the same time that his father John 2 was covering up the Isaeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 and wounded 171 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident

McCain had a huge temper problem,
he would go crazy with anger and
scream and hurl vulgar insults at
you if you pissed him off. People
who had to work him were terrified
of his temper.
