Gotta love the bias here. Trump is an irracable dullard, but Maxine Waters is an irreproachable stable genius.

Give me a break. Shes an insane person. Its okay to acknowledge that even if she is black.

You really believe Ajax has demonstrated ability to create and execute the Maxine character on this board?

ajax wrote:...a working economy with a high labor participation rate ...

While the labor force participation rate was more of a focus of Republicans attempting to shade the progress coming out of the Great Recession under Obama, it's importance isn't directly a reflection of the strength of the economy. The reasons people participate in seeking/performing work vary and the data by age group can tell you as much or more about what's going on. Some stats for your, ajax.

https://www.multpl.com/us-labor-force-p ... le/by-year

The Nov 1, 2019 63.20% rate is lower than the first five years of Obama's presidency. Those were the depths of the recession years, too. You have to go back to the mid 80's to find similar numbers to the current rate. That was about the time the bulk of the baby boomer generation was in the work force.

Since the recovery began and as baby boomers have begun aging into traditional retirement years we've seen the participation rates across age demographics change, too.

https://www.bls.gov/emp/tables/civilian ... n-rate.htm

Teen participation has been declining year over year for some time, but especially during the GR when older workers were taking low paying menial jobs usually beneath their experience or needs. But I'm sure it warms your heart to see the only age demographic groups ticking up comparing 2008 to 2018 were those over 55 working into their mid 70s compared to other generations. Work 'til you die, baby! uh, boomer.

This isn't some mystery. It's public knowledge that it's Ajax.

Please quote the post that praised Maxine Waters on this thread. Since it's only one page, you'll have no trouble doing so.

It only be racist to say I insane if a Repubican say it.

that's your joke wasn't it?

That “black face” is racist. So mocking a black person for their mental accumen or comportment is racsit and therefore unacceptable

EVEN IF THEY ARE A WORLD LEADER IN THE MOST POWERFUL NATION ON EARTH!

Its insane to think a black person in a key position of real power and indluence, is beyond not only mockery but criticism because of the color of their skin.

I thought it was a very astute commentary on the state of the nation and therefore very apprapro and humerous.

Bravo!

Yes, "apprapro." This leans pretty hard into trolling territory. Poe's law is in effect here, though, so it's always hard to know for sure. Anyway, please quote someone here saying Maxine Waters is above criticism. I see people complaining about using racist stereotypes to mock her, but I'm having a hard time finding someone complaining about the idea of criticizing her. Doubtless you'll be quoting that any second now. Right after you quote all the posts praising her.

It's Ajax. This isn't hidden information. He's responded as Ajax under that alias.


For sure, I was just responding to the 'racist piece of trash' comment in that it was directed at Ajax for using the MW persona to be racist because he feels it's clever to talk like a poorly educated black person.
