Gosh, he made it far too easy...

Indians can't do math, apparently.

They literally invented the concept of zero a millennia before white people thought of it.

You are replying to someone called Pradheep.

Like Hillary has a 98% chance of winning!

That wasn't 538's prediction. They gave Trump the best chance of winning and were being criticized for giving him too big a chance even the morning of the election.

And again; people see “20%” and think “oh, there’s no chance of that” rather than “huh. One in five times, that’ll happen. That’s... not too unlikely.”

one might even say that 20% is "extremely possible"

Your odds of losing Russian roulette are worse than 1 in 5. It’s a perfect analogy because Trump getting elected was America losing at Russian roulette.

I like the economy and that I am feeling good enough about it to start planning building a house and investing In new biz. I like that people who often suffer high unemployment seem to be able to get jobs, and that wages for Americans are going up and chance of war is going down.

The economy is exactly the same it was before he came to office, minus the exploded deficit. There’s been no promised investment boom from the tax cut, as any economist knows. The idea that the chance of war is going down is BS. So that’s wrong.

No it is not. You don’t get to define my personal circumstances. My business picked up because people were more optimistic about long term plans. Hiring picked up, construction picked up, manufacturing picked up. You don’t get to define it.

I want to play poker with dinesh.

He definitely cheats though.

Yeah, but look at him.

He might try to cheat but he hides a pair of Uno cards up his sleeve.

Ha! I was thinking of Lando but thought a Sabaac reference would be too obscure.
