As MUCH as it pains me to say this and my fingers are puking as I type ...... i'm going to stick up for shin splints on ONE point. (Only bc I believe in doing the right thing...)

I do not believe he supports child molestation. He did actually denounce it today ... which is MUCH, MUCH more than EVERY OTHER D on here will do. (looking directly at JamesLee###...) I will give him credit for that.

Having said that, I do believe that he is giving the former vice president WAAAY too much benefit of the doubt, esp given Pedo Joes history of sniffing kids (the dude sniffs more kids than Hunter sniffs glue).

To be clear ... I'm not defending him on ANY OTHER POINT. Now, back to your regularly scheduled bashing ...

"But it could have a profound negative impact on the climate obviously. You have a war and obviously you’re going to have massive emissions consequences to the war. But equally importantly, you're going to lose people's focus, you're going to lose certainly big country attention because they will be diverted and I think it could have a damaging impact," he continued. "So, you know, I think hopefully President Putin would realize that in the northern part of his country, they used to live on 66% of the nation that was over frozen land."

Really John? That's what you're worried about? What a clown.

It's easy for these clowns to worry about crap like that when their wife is a billionaire.

Peopel lost their liveliehoods and their jobs....you are a liar from top to bottom. All from a virus with over a 99% survival rate. YOu're such a dishonest person.

People drew unemployment and many actually made more money unemployed than they did when they were working. It was such an issue they had to end those benefits for people to go back to work.
It was a world wide pandemic that shut down sh** in every country on the planet. Nobody starved and anyone that wants a job has no problem finding one right now. It was a temporary shutdown for good reason. Thousands of lives were saved by those temporary shutdowns that bought scientists/doctors time for learning treatments and developing vaccines.
Such a drama queen take on a 3 month economic pause due to a deadly virus.

Just look at the people Biden has placed into leadership roles. We have guys wearing makeup with women’s nails working with social media, men who think they’re women and pink haired furries being appointed to major positions. Other countries can see the weakness of this administration. We’re exactly where the rest of the world wants us. Our personnel is set up to implode within. No need for an outside force. Who in the world would be intimidated by the US right now?

I mean, one year and I am out thousands of dollars because of that idiot and now strong men starting to take over countries. The country and world will never be the same, just because half of all Americans are stupid enough to put that man in office. Think of all the people being killed in Ukraine right now because Russia knows America's weak leader will not do enough to stop him. Putin knows now is the time with idiot and weak Biden around. The fool stops the pipelines a year ago and changes about 17 things that did nothing but hurt Americans. All the while he smuggles millions of illegals in to the country unlawfully. Putting American lives at risk from disease or violence. And he cares nothing about it. Let Americans die, my party has got to get power. Let Americans struggle financially, could care less. Let's take from Americans and give to non Americans. And people get on here sticking up for a man doing all this and more to this country.

[AustinTXCat]

We conceded the afghan war 19 years ago. All we were doing was treading water. We had 3 options when we invaded. Either go full imperial and turn the country into a colony, mass extermination, or gtfo. We chose sit around and launch airstrikes for 20 years. The afghan people are to tribal to give a shit about the taliban. Just watch the video of the afghan army fleeing Khandahar and not putting up any fight. The taliban is just driving across the country and claiming everything because nobody is resisting. Biden and Trump were just trying to get us out of Bush and his neocon shithead puppet masters ****up. Every great empire has tried to conquer Afghanistan and failed miserably.

If you’ve ever spent any time in the woods as a hunter or outdoorsman, you could predict it. When the leader of a pack or group is weak, the pack weakens. All the others take notice and become emboldened. They know the current one in charge cannot protect or provide any more and they jump at the chance to take his spot. It has a negative effect through the chain. Our posture alone used to be able to keep countries in check. Now people see a country that can’t even take care of itself. We celebrate weakness and they smell blood. I’m afraid our troubles are just beginning.

Yeah, that Afghanistan withdrawal was a real feather in Biden’s cap.

Also, that “growth “ in jobs is the inevitable return of some jobs that were lost due to the Dem restrictions placed on businesses in the name of COVID. Thats not actual growth.

I agree...but I would say they see more than
just the weakness of Biden. He followed the erratic Trump who basically made Biden an illegitimate President for half the country and mocked NATO. Obama was weak as well. Bush got us into two unwinnable wars.
20 years of chaos, wars, weakness, senility, insurrection and isolationism between the last 4 Presidents.

Trump had answers for EVERYTHING. Did you not keep up with events for four years? He took on every challenge and fixed it. Quickly. He had 0 issues with any other country. Wonder why? I don't know what he would do, just know he knew how to fix anything that came along. Probably wouldn't have to fix anything on the Russia issue because he worked hard at getting along and at the same time making sure other leaders respected him.

Fair, just don't throw "losing money from the stock market" in there. I've seen so many people sell in times like this but in reality you're not losing or gaining until you realize your position. Don't hurt your future self from something that will pass.

Also remember with inflation a way to combat it is through raising rates which is what the FOMC is going to do. This will slam the markets in the short to medium term but those upward inflationary pressures we're currently seeing,thanks to printing money in 2020 and supply chain issues, will subside.

Ideally gas prices will decrease during this bear market but with the war in Ukraine I don't know how severely it will impact crude prices around the world. You'd expect a negative result but hopefully this war doesn't last long, see Crimea.
