Atlanta Fed Estimates U.S. Third-Quarter GDP Growing at 4.0 percent…
Posted on August 19, 2017 by sundance
“It can’t be done”, they said. “There’s no way Trump can achieve 4.0% economic growth” they said. The Congressional Budget Office said economic projections were “improbable”, they said…. “Impossible”, they said.

Yeah, well, Donald Trump said: “ Impossible is just the starting point“. And now:

How is this possible? Well, if you’ve never had to wash your hands with Lava – it might seem impossible. For those who have washed with Lava, it’s simple common sense.

Everyone can agree on this: If it pisses off Ann Coulter, it's gotta be good!

Thanks for proving your impressive ignorance again. Ann Coulter is not a YUGE favorite with many conservatives. Not by a long shot. Anybody that admits dating Bill Maher and thinks he's a nice guy does not have an elevator that reaches the top floor.

Stick to the snowflake threads where you might impress people and use the play-doh provided for you, drink some hot cocoa and pet somebody's puppy. HTH
