Any point you try to make dies when you reference the 14%. You’re disingenuously pretending Covid didn’t happen and the economy wasn’t thriving at levels never seen before up to that point.
And you are just as disingenuous if you give Trump a pass on the Covid economy while completely discounting the inflation that would have slammed any President post COVID.
The world spent almost 2 years in their house while we were getting Checks from Trump (2) and Biden (1).
Once Covid lifted, the entire country and world spent money like drunken sailors.
Couple that with the supply chain issues from businesses slow rate of rehiring and it's no wonder inflation wasn't higher.
Can't give Trump a pass on the crappy COVID economy and then blame Biden for the inflation from the post COVID consumer spending.
COVID was the root of both issues.
 
Look. Nobody left their house in the world for almost 2 years.
Then Trump sent out 2 checks and Biden sent 1 to the American people.
Once COVID slowed the entire world celebrated by spending like drunken sailors. Couple the spending with the supply chain issues as businesses came back online....Huge demand/low supply.
That is Econ 101 and why inflation went thru the roof.
The US recovered faster than any country in the world and has brought down inflation without sending us into a recession.
Trump doesn't deserve any more crap over the COVID economy than Biden does for the inflation resulting from the economic rebound.
Took Reagan 4 years to get inflation down to 3.9 percent.
Took Biden 4 years to get inflation down to 2.4 percent.

100% bs here in TN. We lived our lives like normal other than that one nationally full retard shut down.

We shed our masks asap and were fine.

Don't lump everyone into your cowardly dem run stated hiding n the basement for 2 years nonsense.
 
It’s amazing how similar the Republican establishment is to democrats. They’re supposed to serve the people. The people just delivered a sweeping mandate for the MAGA agenda, and yet Rs continue to think they’re better than the people and need to do the opposite.

McConnell, Graham, Ryan, et al need to be strapped to one of elons rockets and sent to mats.

You’re a freaking idiot. Do I need to find one of the countless videos of Trump saying we need to open the economy asap while Dems refused? They’re out there. He was quoted multiple times saying “the cure can’t be worse than the disease” which ended up being the case.

Biden kept everything locked down FAR longer than necessary, if they were ever necessary. The MASSIVE increase in money supply falls 100% on the Biden admin. 100%…

I also can give Trump a pass and blame Biden. Trump was acting on incomplete information and was screaming from the rooftops we need to open things up asap as he exited. Biden kept things locked down intentionally while flooding the market with currency.

Bottom line is you’re a freaking idiot that’s attempting to rewrite history due to your extreme version of TDS.

Hopefully this repudiation of identity politics will let us get back to arguing over bread and butter kitchen table issues instead of drag queens. Not holding my breath that a failed Democratic Party gets the message though.
I agree 100%. Happy to move on from the stupidity of identity politics. But that means you can’t pull the race card when we discuss voter ID laws. It also means you’ll have to remove “xenophobe”, “homophobe”, “transphobe, and “racist” from approximately 95% of your response posts.

You sure you can do that? If not, we are back to square one. If so, it just means that up until this point under your current username you have been part of the problem when it comes to identity politics. Given, you did so under the banner of promoting your utopian democratic socialist meritocracy of amerika nonsense gibberish. But you were knee deep in the very thing you now claim the Dems need to denounce. Once again, the term “useful idiot” comes to mind.

But I’m all about turning a new leaf & moving on with intelligent discussions…

Non-Identity Politics Issue #1: Where do you currently stand on illegal immigration?

You have stated multiple times in the past that you think we have more than enough space & resources in this country to let everyone/anyone into America…and that anyone who thinks otherwise is an uneducated xenophobic racist. Is that still your position?

Dem NYC mayor (sanctuary city) has changed his stance on this issue for many reasons…not the least of which is crime rates & lack of resources to sustain harboring them. Of course, the border towns have been dealing with both of those issues tenfold for many years. But I guess it’s good that NYC and its Dem mayor have shed some light on the issue in the northeast and nation wide. Is he a xenophobic racist?

So where ya at, kommrade? Still think the border should be free flow? What do you think should happen to illegal immigrants that broke our country’s current federal laws & are already in the country?

Side note: Plenty of “space” in EKY. I’m curious what you think would happen in your neck of the woods if there were a sudden influx of illegal aliens? What would it do to the budgets of the schools? Do you have a bunch of fluent Spanish speaking teachers over there? What would it do to the crime rates? What would it do to the job market? The economy? The healthcare facilities? What if the population in one of those small EKY cities was suddenly doubled by an influx of said illegal immigrants?
 
Obamacare hasn't been the devil we originally thought and has helped many. Were it not for Mitch, this country would not have the many conservative justices we do in all branches of the court system, inc. SCOTUS, and Garland would be wearing a robe. He has also helped this state financially quite often over the years. Defend him, yes, I will.
I have an opposing view of Obamacare. We reached our family deductible every year in Aug/Sep timeframe. Now, we never hit it and our bills have tripled. I'd guess he has cost us at least 100K. King Barry can go F himself. Oh, and our premiums doubled.

I gave up on the Republicans after Newt signed the contract with America, and then proceeded to do jack squat. Wasted all their f***ing time worrying about Clinton's crank and where it had been instead of dealing with REAL issues. F*** the Republicans right in the ass.

Trump isn't a Republican. He never was, and he never WILL be. He's an independent.
 
Is there not anyone else in the GOP that SC can run against Graham in 2 years? How does this guy keep getting elected??!
The same reason McConnell kept getting elected in KY. Graham is too powerful for the Republican party to break away from him and devote the type of money and resources to defeat him in a primary. Maybe it would take a self-funded billionaire type to run against him.

I’ve made multiple sincere efforts with you too. Watched all your linked videos about liberals eating babies. Yet it’s still pure, unadulterated vitriol from you 24/7.
"Multiple sincere efforts" my ass. When? Please name multiple times. Is that the lies you tell yourself to make you feel better? Is this the "thinking" that always allows you to play the victim? Boo hoo. Oh, and it wasn't eating babies, it is sacrificing babies. That is something that has happened for thousands of years. I shouldn't have to tell a "history" major. Are you denying that children have never been sacrificed?

I will say you actually have pushed DQSH a whole lot less. There's my "good" comment about you. That's more than i have ever received.

Newsflash champ, you have two choices ... one, if you don't like being called evil, commie, nazi, fascist ... then STOP posting things that are evil, commie, nazi, and fascist-like. Stop being dishonest in every "sincere effort" to debate. If you don't like being called anti-American, then quit calling for open borders. Stop enabling predators near kids, stop enabling child-trafficking. Your second choice is to stop posting. Many of us will not miss you one bit. That is a promise.

I am amazed that people think X is a reliable source of news.
Those of us who use X actually know what's going on in the world. You just have to find the right people to follow and who to ignore. If people are constantly wrong on stuff then people quit paying attn to them... unlike cnn who just doubles down on being wrong again and again. LOL.
 
Lot of people pretending they are moving to Britain due to election but they are going over there to shoot movies because they have become too expensive to film here. Cali is losing tons of work and people are being laid off in crazy numbers. California has reached the "running out of other peoples money" part of the equation. LOL
 
Hindsight is always better than the original, right? You can nit pick now all you want, but if you don't believe he has been the most influential person in helping shape the courts, then whatever. You also would not see this state have a RED leadership to keep Andy in check.
Or.... he is holding pubs back from being a super majority. If we ran Jeb against Hillary we'd probably have zero conservative justices. Moderates do not like the Lyndsey and Mitch types. They make people vote for democrats. Right before the mid terms in '22 Lyndsey put forward an abortion bill. It had zero chance of passing but did drive women to the polls and made men just stay home. Trump got the voters to show up and the house and Senate consistently ran 5 points behind him. Instead of embracing the top of the ticket the Mitch types tried to pretend like they were responible for the red wave and they know what they are doing....

They don't.
