The Biden stock market is swamping Trump’s

President Biden has a roaring stock market to brag about. So far, it's not helping his standing with voters.

Toilet paper limits, empty shelves are back as virus surges

NEW YORK (AP) — Looking for toilet paper? Good luck. A surge of new coronavirus cases in the U.S. is sending people back to stores to stockpile again, leaving shelves bare and forcing retailers to put limits on purchases.

Sambo I’ll give you credit for one thing, that’s some balls to post something that crazy 🍺

 

[Marleydogg]

Again, some idiots can't comprehend a roaring stock market ( and I'm an investor in said), can't realize when Amazon, Apple, Walmart, etc are at all time highs, it's not really a sign of a good economy, but the fact that post covid, the huge corps made boatloads of money, and pushed small businesses out of the market completely.

Some don't get Econ 101.

Sam.(But that idiot literally doesn't get ANYTHING. It's astonishing the levels and depth of the stupid there. It's like Dante, levels of hell deep.)

[HymanKaplan]

Wall Street is soaring, because THEY know what "most" of us know; that Trump is going to be back in office in 7 months.

 

[HymanKaplan]

I see Sam is in a panic to post fake news clips again. Notice the pattern with this.

I would rather be at a UK function and find out that a fellow UK fan that I just met was Sam. I would rather see the results of what I would do to him than win a million dollars.

I've volunteered to get together with all of the liberals on here, have some beers with them, and then "take it to the parking lot", if everyone is down for it. LOL

I'm 61, so it'll be a fair fight. LOL

 

[Dionysus444]

Ummmm, who cooks the hot dogs first? Complete failure, along with putting cheese on before those 3 week old looking burgers have even started to cook.

What an abject disaster. I can't even look at him. It's too awkward...

The far left has literally no idea how to function. They lack any "life skills".

It's for the photo. He isn't actually cooking them like that. He isn't actually cooking at all.

Crazy read, but becoming increasingly less surprising.

[HymanKaplan]

It's for the photo. He isn't actually cooking them like that. He isn't actually cooking at all.

I get it. Just like he's pretending to cook, politicians only "pretend" to give a damn about their constituents.

That's why Trump is growing on me. He's clearly NOT a politician (even if he DOESN'T actually care about Americans, he's still a step up from politicians, because you can't GO any lower than them)

 

[SDC888]

It's for the votes. The dems aren't actually helping you like that. They aren't actually helping at all.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Trump is a danger to our ability to elect representatives and have faith in our elections.
Keep repeating the lie that you won and elections are rigged. Eventually fools believe it and no longer even believe in democracy.
Brainwashed and moving towards an acceptance of fascism. Scary as hell.
Perfect example of why Biden still has a chance at winning even though he shouldn't.

By the numbers: For the second straight month, personal consumption expenditures (PCE) rose 0.8% in March, the strongest in more than a year.

Even adjusted for sticky inflation, spending still rose notably, with an increase of 0.5%.

You remind me of Kevin Bacon in Animal House desperately trying to convince everyone “All is well! All is well!” as the obvious chaos and panic ensues.

 

[sambowieshin]

You know who you will never see do that? Or get a pet dog because that's what presidents do?

Donald Trump.

You know why? Because people like him for who he is, or hate him, and he doesn't care much.

Yeah...no pandering at all from Trump.
Get rid of income taxes!! Sure Donald. 🤣

No more tip taxes!! Sure Donald. 🤣

Trump floats plan to end taxes on tips, though experts raise doubts • Missouri Independent

Economists are raising doubts about the cost and workability of former President Donald Trump’s proposal to exempt tips from federal taxes.

January 6th was a complete and utter embarrasment.

It was embarrasing, because that's the best they could do?

The need to take some lessons from BLM and Antifa.

I have to look away in shame, when replays are shown.

Never again...

Hard to look at.

The fact that there was no viewer warning suggests a possible suspension.

Ummmm, May, June, and July are historically the biggest consumer spending months of the year, excepting the Christmas season (November and December), and they follow the LOWEST spending season (Winter), so yeah, spending increases once school ends (regardless of the economy)*

*(it's just that under Biden, all of that Summer stuff is way more expensive. Also, and I can't believe I'm having to say this; that consumer spending, under inflationary times, can often give the "appearance" of 'MORE" consumption (because, you know, they measure it in dollar amounts. LOL)

I condemn any BLM violence towards police and/or property regardless of how many times it happened.
Can you say the same about Jan 6th??
If not, quit your yappin about any that happened during BLM riots.

False.

You remind me of Kevin Bacon in Animal House desperately trying to convince everyone “All is well! All is well!” as the obvious chaos and panic ensues.

So tell me which of the facts I stated is incorrect.
Are you saying Unemployment is high...because it's not.
Are you saying the GDP hasn't been in positive territory under Biden....because it has.
Are you saying stocks haven't set records under Biden....because they have.
Are you saying manufacturing hasn't increased under Biden....because it has.
Are you saying corporations haven't been making record profits under Biden...because they have.
Are you saying inflation isn't lower now than two years ago....because it is.
Are you saying people's 401ks are worse now than under Trump....because they aren't.
Please elaborate on which of my FACTS are incorrect.
You can't see the forest for the memes.

Did he have to drive all the way from Austin to Nashville and back, to get that hat?

Science....unlike religious dogma....is ever-changing based on new information at hand. It's actually a sign of higher intelligence to periodically change your opinion on matters with the acquisition of new data.
I am comfortable with my opinion on masking. I am more conservative with my opinion on mandatory Covid vaccines using MRNA. That said, the data still favors it just not as much as advertised....Hence, my change of opinion regarding the mandates.

LOL! False.

George Floyd’s autopsy report is not new, does not say he died of an overdose

As the three-year anniversary of Floyd’s death arrived on Thursday, some social media users shared what they erroneously claimed was new evidence about the circumstances of his passing.

You're the one making the argument. It is incumbent upon YOU, to provide the facts. Take all of those points, and compile data for the first 3 1/2 years of Trump's presidency, and compare them to the first 3 1/2 years of Biden's presidency. And then, come back and present them objectively. Until you do that, you can't strut around like a bantam rooster, crowing about facts.

Medical examiner doubles down on original autopsy finding, labels Floyd's death a homicide

Friday was a closely watched day in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer charged with the murder of George Floyd. It featured key testimony about what led to Floyd's death from medical examiner Dr. Andrew Baker, who performed the initial autopsy on Floyd's body and declared his...

No Change in George Floyd's Cause of Death, Despite Viral False Claims - FactCheck.org

The police officer who kept his knee on George Floyd's neck for about nine minutes in 2020 was convicted of murder, and the medical examiner determined that police efforts to subdue Floyd caused his death. Nothing about the autopsy's findings have changed, but social media posts falsely claim...

The autopsy report and testimony at trial indicate Floyd died from "cardiopulmonary arrest" complicated by "restraint and neck compression."

Can't cherry pick years dude. It's a four year term. Trump left the economy in shambles....just like Bush 1 and Bush 2.
It's always up to a Dem to pick up the pieces.

False again. You must be like Biden and on a loop of answers that have been debunked but as long as you keep repeating them, brain dead idiots will continue to believe.

 

[HymanKaplan]

sam,

Forget George Floyd. You have an assigned research project that you should be working on.

(and it has to be written in your own words, and properly sourced. IOW, you can't use Chat GPT's Essay Writer, because I'll be checking. This isn't Harvard...)

Yeah, but they're not his, he is holding them for a friend.

that would explain the speech impediment.

First and last years under each. 🤣
GDP 2017 under Trump....2.3 percent growth.
GDP 2021 under Biden....U.S. gdp growth rate for 2021 was 5.95%, a 8.71% increase from 2020.

GDP growth 2020 under Trump....The US GDP growth rate in 2020 was NEGATIVE 2.77%, a 5.06% decline from 2019.

GDP growth 2023 under Biden....(GDP) increased 2.5% in 2023.

Job growth Trump...The economy LOST 2.9 million jobs during his 4 years.

Job growth Biden....15 million jobs created since he took office.

Unemployment under Trump averaged over 5 percent.

Unemployment under Biden is at 4 percent.

Facts are stubborn things.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Merrick Garland wants the citizens of this country to know that he takes contempt of Congress very seriously (just look at his record), but that; after careful consideration, and weighing the facts, he just doesn't think formal charges are warranted against himself. However, staffers say that he was hard at work yesterday, crafting a strongly worded letter of rebuke, that he plans to serve to himself later this week.

Out of respect for his family, during this difficult time; he won't be publicly addressing this situation.

 

[sambowieshin]

False again. You must be like Biden and on a loop of answers that have been debunked but as long as you keep repeating them, brain dead idiots will continue to believe.

I have repeatedly stated the facts with sources.
You provide nothing but contradictory lies based entirely on your delusions.
