wapo: Did they look at Sherdog for research?

They say democrats are mentally unhinged due to Trump's economy:

At first glance, I thought reports saying Democrats had ridiculed thousand-dollar bonuses brought about by the Republican tax cuts were from the Onion. But they aren’t. Democrats are flustered and can’t deal with Trump’s economic success. When is the last time Democrats had a plan for anybody to get a $1,000 raise from the private sector without compelling an employer to just hand it over? Maybe they planned for more food stamps, but never to unleash the private economy and power of profits.

Sound familiar? Lemmings, plain and simple.

Hi Ed. That's a nice opinion you have there, it would be a shame if something rational were to happen to it.

Report buttons are frantically being pushed right now

You sound unhinged. Are you a democrat?

So you Trumpets are good with Wapo so long as it's the Republican side of the PostPartisan opinion pieces?

I gotta be fair. The name of the thread should be changed

I know the Left in here does this shit non stop. But the name should be changed

LMAO @ "unleash the private economy and power of profits". Reads like the ghost of Ayn Rand was in charge of hyperbole for the article.

TDS has reached epidemic proportions. People actually barf their frustrations onto good news now.

The wage increase and bonus threads are disturbing.

The topic is how some people can't be happy about the wage increases and bonuses.

It's good to know you have no issue with the article.

You are right about the TS's commentary, but Trump has caused a bit of hysteria around these parts.

It's an unabashedly partisan opinion piece. It is what it is. I just find it hilarious that "fake news" Trumpets are so transparent in how they source "information".

If there's "hysteria", then it's in part because of his followers' penchant to ignore factual information, show slavish devotion, and outright deny everything if they don't agree with it (and only on those merits). Extremism begets extremism.

How is an "opinion" piece fake news. You are mixing 2 different things up here

I can't believe how effective this bonus giving dog and pony show is in convincing poorly educated Americans that tax cuts for the wealthy increase income for the working class.

When every single piece of hard, historical data tells us the opposite.

These plutocrats are some shrewd fucking operators.

I would say that the Trumpers are more divorced from reality, but everyone on the Trumper/Resistance wise tends to have a talent for flipping out. these days.

Could be my imagination, but if we really look at the shitstorm, a lot of people are getting dirty.

We will see what the long term effects of Trumps presidential term have long after he leaves office, much like Reagan. I'm glad people are now starting to see wage growth, hope it continues.
