We have literally never suspended an election during wartime, even the civil war.

These leftists, man…they’re just trash.
I could not locate beef prices in the inflation calculation. I would guess that they conveniently omit certain items and services in order to make the inflation increase more palatable.
Frequently Asked Questions - United States Department of Labor
webapps.dol.gov
- FOOD AND BEVERAGES (breakfast cereal, milk, coffee, chicken, wine, full service meals and snacks);
- HOUSING (rent of primary residence, owners' equivalent rent, fuel oil, bedroom furniture);
- APPAREL (men's shirts and sweaters, women's dresses, jewelry);
- TRANSPORTATION (new vehicles, airline fares, gasoline, motor vehicle insurance);
- MEDICAL CARE (prescription drugs and medical supplies, physicians' services, eyeglasses and eye care, hospital services);
- RECREATION (televisions, cable television, pets and pet products, sports equipment, admissions);
- EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION (college tuition, postage, telephone services, computer software and accessories);
- OTHER GOODS AND SERVICES (tobacco and smoking products, haircuts and other personal services, funeral expenses).
Core inflation excludes gas and groceries. I’m not an economist and I’m pretty sure Sam isn’t either. Would make sense to quote the lower number when propping it for political reasons though.
You seem to think lots and lots of people think like you. They don't. Have you seen the latest polls? Harris is ahead. 6 of 6. She's even closing in on Texas and Florida. And I presume other states that formerly seemed safe for Trump. The bubble has burst. The emperor not only has no clothes, he sags everywhere. Weird, as they say. Today in North Carolina, he was supposed to talk economics. Instead, he'd keep going back to tampons. Trump has some kind of cognitive problem -- in addition to his savagery -- and it's obviously getting worse.
Something has happened but it isn't clear what. The end of McCarthyism is often traced to that speech by Joseph Welch: "Have you at last no shame?" It really wasn't that simple, but it's close enough. People finally had enough red baiting and manufactured anxiety. In the 19th century, the Know Nothings bubble burst right as they were at their peak. Trumpism with its racial dog-whistling, homophobia, manufactured crises, and ludicrous conspiracies. Whatever fog the country has been wrapped in since 2015 ... it appears to be blowing away. Relief from his ludicrous fantasies and perverse ambitions is what people want. Maybe Biden dropping from the race was what did it. They wanted to be free from Trump but were afraid of Biden's age.
Don't be the last guy at the party.
Lol ...to stave off California govt disclosing details of their mismanagement of funds for decades, they are desperately in need of such dictatorial actions. The ne'er do anythings will eat this up as "forward thinking" and "unique vision for the future."
The Department of Labor market basket includes gasoline via the motor fuel index.
This gibberish is to be expected from people who can only create problems and have never created anything else.
The kind of mind that supports government control of food prices.
Complete and utter ignorance.
"The party of tolerance" lives a complete lie while trying to tell others to live life their way. No Fing thanks.
Biden: “Core inflation is the lowest it’s been in three years”
This is the talking point Sam was touting.
Core inflation excludes the food and energy sector.
Why I asked him if gas and groceries were included in his Ridin with Biden number.
I personally don’t want everyone to think like me and never said otherwise. Diversity of thought is very important, much more so than race, gender, etc.
Liberals have some good ideas, but suck at executing as they tend to be alarmists and emotional, which leads to disastrous results despite good intentions. Example; EVs. A novel idea that may very well be the future, but it’s technology that isn’t feasible today. The tech itself isn’t there yet and the infrastructure basically doesn’t exist at all. Didn’t stop the left from overspending in an extreme way with horrible, but predictable results. Many more with climate change, etc.
The right tend to be stuck in their ways too much. Many examples of that.
The tug of war between the left and right is actually a VERY GOOD and necessary thing, even if it’s heated and argumentative.
The problem we have today is the left is going full authoritarian and shutting down all communication with anyone outside their ever changing and radical belief structure. Silencing political opponents, which was going very well for you until Musk threw a wrench in it, jailing political opponents, assassination attempts, subverting elections, and outright election fraud. These are all things that occur in nations falling into socialism and communism. It’s also not good at all and it’s incomprehensible so many are on board with it. Speaks to true evil by those leading the charge, and ignorance by many following.
I don’t care about Trump, Harris, Biden etc. We’ve had democrat leaders and Republican leaders throughout our history as that pendulum has swung like it was always meant to.
The major problem occurring today is one party is breaking that pendulum completely and that NEVER ends well. The saying goes you can vote your way into socialism, but you can only shoot your way out. Now it will take A LOT more to get to that point. There will be a significant amount of time and suffering before that becomes a serious idea. Likely not in our lifetime. However, that’s the road we are going down and leaving for our kids and grandkids. Very very sad. Even more so seeing people like you who openly cheer for it or are just too stupid to know the difference.

Really? The party of putting up posters of opponents in crosshairs objects to "beat the hell out of "?
How short do they think are memories are?
Posters??? Didn’t your party just do the real thing?
Everyone “running a gas station” did not jump a fence to get here. They are not illegal immigrants.
Biden did say you cannot go to a 7-eleven or Dunkin’ Donuts without a slight Indian accent if that helps.
Dude, that’s idiotic. You’re saying he WANTED to be invaded and almost murdered just so he could turn into a dictator and suspend the press? It’s Ukraine. He could’ve done that minute one. Yanukovych was shooting protestors dead in the streets just a few years before that. Ukraine is not America, your standards don’t apply.
Pointing out how racist our country is isn’t doing @blubo and his comment any favors.
Breaking news from Trump press conference:
- Kamala is stupid.
- NY courts hate him.
How many voters is that going to change? What dumbassery.

Not at all. But like Clinton said “never waste a good crisis.”
Yes, exactly my point I make over and over. Ukraine and Russia, both corrupt to the core, can both fall off the map as far as I’m concerned.
Time will tell if Z yields his dictatorial powers. I’m highly skeptical.
What's that got to do with him being so old? And that was 4 years ago. What does that have to do with today & the future? Zilch.

They just want to justify their authoritarianism. You know if war broke out now with US involvement, the current regime would try the same stuff here. Heck, if you live in a deep blue state, they came close during Covid.
Imagine a war with Russia. Suspended election due to Russian interference, round up all the people who disagree with it, Sambo would be searching the net far and wide for Putin lovers to turn in on the snitch line. Lol
I mean you can say you don’t care without attempting to make a false equivalency. Russia is trying to take Ukraine for expansionist reasons. It’s as simple as that. Just say you don’t care whether they live or die and leave it at that. Just stop talking at that point. No need to act as a Russian shill and repeat their propaganda over something you supposedly don’t care at all about.
I can say whatever I want. I do care because I’m implicated by being an American citizen in this bs.
How is saying both regimes suck and we shouldn’t be involved being a Russian shill? You guys and your labels.
I’m curious as to who the President was 3 years ago. Does Joe even know? This is democratic rule in a nutshell. Create a crisis, then boast about how you fixed it 3 years later.
Wonderful!
Listen very closely, Village Idiot. And the rest of you morons parroting this line.
In year one an ice cream cone costs $1.
In year 2 an ice cream cone costs $2.
In year 3 am ice cream cone costs $3.
Now, the price is at an all time high, correct?
Now pay attention closely Village Idiot.
In year 3, despite an all time high price, inflation has gone from from 100% to 50%.
Now read that until you comprehend it.
I know, it may take you 100 tries. Don't give up, work at it! You can do it!
