[QUOTE=Xpartan;2669694]Like I've already said before, there are two problems with right-wing nuts.
1. They're willing and ready to lie whenever it suits their agenda.
2. They are too lazy to lie convincingly.
I don't live in a foreign country. I live in NYC, the second most expensive market in the USA I don't see huge issues at grocery stores. I see some moderate increases with some foodstaffs. Cream cheese is about 20% more expensive than it used to be and it's rarely on sale lately. As to gas, I have paid more.
Now, the crackpots are trying to convince (each other?) that we would've been better off with a loud, obnoxious moron who knows nothing about international relations, who for 4 years sucked off the worst tyrant on the planet, who tirelessly worked on destroying our democratic institutions and who almost managed to sever our ties with the rest of the civilized world.
And they also insist that all our problems, mind you, have nothing to do with the pandemic that kept the world economy shut down for 2 years or the raging war in Europe brought on by the moron's own BFF, but president Biden, who's already done more for the working man than all repub presidents in the last 70 years combined.
Well, keep lying, crackpots. It's just that your lies are so flat and dumb, I wish you put a little effort in it. At least your former Liar-in-Chief was somewhat entertaining. You are not.[/QUOTE]Well said. And it has the added advantage over the crackpot wingers' posts of being true.
Coffee time!
For those with blinders, here's your brain forming, tell me what to think, outlet.

[QUOTE=Canada;2669617]If you want a credible source come to USA and drive by a gas station or go into a grocery store to see what Biden has accomplished. Hiding in a apartment in a foreign country reading fake news qualifies you for nothing.[/QUOTE]Very true.
Tooms also told me that no Democrats say they want to defund the police.

[B]Jobless claims total 215,000, fewer than expected; productivity rises 6.6%[/B]

[QUOTE]On jobless claims, last weeks total represented a decline of 18,000 from the previous week and was the lowest since Jan. 1.
Continuing claims, which run a week behind the headline number, edged to 1.48 million.
However, the four-week moving average, which smooths out weekly volatility, moved down to 1.54 million, the lowest level since April 4, 1970.[/QUOTE]BTW, how's Russia doing 'on Biden's watch'?
Of course, that was a typo in my previous post.
Under Biden, continuing jobless claims are at a 52 year low, not a 42 year low.
If Trump had convinced a few Repub state secretaries to throw out likely Dem ballots or "find" more likely Repub votes in 2020 as they will this November, that is the only thing Trump and the typically pro Repub Mainstream Media would be talking about for several days during this election year.
Oh, and how wonderful it is that with all those millions of new higher paying jobs created, paying a few extra dollars at the grocery store and at the pump is actually a pleasure. They'd all be spinning it that way too.
And every winger Repub would agree.
[QUOTE=Canada;2669798]You avoid the truth and slither back to your fake news. I guess that is why you left USA because you can't face reality. Or maybe you just can't afford to live here with the Biden inflation.[/QUOTE]Why do [B]you[/B] avoid the truth by not commenting on the post I schooled you on re: oil and gas leases? The one where you wanted data from BLM and I provided it to you? Can't you face reality?
Or do you just like yelling "fake news", "fake news", fake news" over and over again?
[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2669811]Biden admitted inflation was a problem. The federal reserve is trying to stop record inflation by raising interest rates. Democrats in congress admit inflation is at a record level. So I guess they are liars too. 99% of Americans are seeing this every day. Denial will not make it go away. Gas in San Diego was about $3.25 a gallon under Trump and now is over $5.00 a gallon. You really think these are lies?[/QUOTE]I suspect you haven't ever heard of the Latin phrase "Post hoc ergo propter hoc". Especially because it is in another language.
However, the literal English translation is "after this, therefore because of this". It figuratively means "Since event why followed event X, event why must have been caused by event X. " (I am trusting that you know the difference between literal and figurative. If you don't, just stop here because the rest will be over your head.).
This is the standard winger response to a lot of things. Take your idiotic interest in gasoline prices. Gas prices were $3. 25 under Trump. Then Biden got elected. (that's event X just to help you and the rest of the wingers follow along easily). Gas prices are now over $5. 00 under Biden. (that's event Y).
If wingers were more intelligent, they'd look at the root causes of inflation. But it is just easier for you to [B]wrongly[/B] frame it in terms of "post hoc ergo propter hoc".
But then, if wingers were more intelligent, they wouldn't have voted for the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy in the first place.
[QUOTE=GDreams;2669836]The fragments of border wall built during the Trump administration were physically breached more than 3,000 times between 2019 and 2021.
Customs and Border Protection spent $2. 6 million to repair 3,272 such breaches in that time period.
The Trump administration in 2017 held a design contest to choose the final ideation for former President Trump's signature construction project, and ultimately built a series of prototypes in a location near San Diego.
Administration officials ultimately chose a design with 18 30-foot-tall steel bollards cemented into the ground, joined at the top by a steel beam.
Upon completion of the first segments, videos quickly surfaced of smuggling groups using common power tools to cut the bollards near the bottom of the wall, easily swinging them out of the way to cross the border.
Pretty much sums up Trumpian incompetence.[/QUOTE]You said it. Incompetence was the correct term for Biden not finishing the wall. Billions of dollars of wall, lights, security sensors are rotting away because an incompetent president stopped construction. Not only did Biden waste billions of dollars but with his open border stance has put the lives in America in danger every day. Never in the history of the world has a leader of any country failed to secure his countries borders. Biden is killing Americans every day with the drugs and crime pouring across our southern border. Anyone who supports these crimes can also take responsibility for killing Americans.

Pretty much sums up Trumpian incompetence.[/QUOTE]Plus, the smugglers patch-up their cuts almost invisibly with putty. Almost impossible to see unless you're doing a search up close and personal.
Anybody who has spent any time at all in Mexico knows that Mexicans, in general, are very resourceful. Additionally, virtually every Mexican knows how to use a grinder. They cut rebar with grinders. They cut tubing with them. They cut tile with them. Anybody with half a brain (which, by definition leaves out wingers) knows that these grinders are cordless, too. But it.
Isn't just grinders. Give a Mexican a couple of long 2 x4's, some 1 x3's, a few nails and voilą (wingers usually spell it "wallah") [B]a ladder[/B]. All for about 5 bucks. It is magic I tell you. Magic! Who woulda thunk it?
All from people who wingers describe as less than human.

Your telling someone who was previously infected with Covid to get vaccinated was the stupidest thing I have ever read on here. You think watching MSNBC means you are qualified to be giving out medical advice.
Now we have this anecdotal bullshit about prices. Studies show average family is going to spend $5000 more per year on energy costs, but you do not notice anything.
Maybe if you could do math or pull your head out of your ass for once, you would see what the rest of our is seeing and feeling.
You and your fellow Dems are the liars saying the economy is great, and everything is fine. I am glad you folks so like Carter because we are clearly headed that way.

We need to open up the border (at least in Tijuana to let the thousands of Haitians refugees in) to fill these positions.
While the 215 K unemployed Americans keep searching for six figures in the new hot economy.

It could stretch the length of the border and would still be a failure. Analogous to a car going over a speed hump. Basically as useless as the guy who championed it. BTW has Mexico paid up yet?
The thing that makes me laugh the most is all the businesses complaining about labour shortages. Maybe there is sense in having immigration (I am not advocating illegal immigration). Perhaps there would not be a shortage of truck drivers and waiters.

Is that what you're trying to say? How ludicrous.
When the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former got kicked to the curb, he had built something like 40 miles of "new wall". In other words, a wall in a place that never had a wall before. In four years of construction. OK, maybe 2 years of construction 'cause I'll cut him some slack. That's 20 miles a year at best. The border is some 2,000 miles long. At that rate of progress, it would take 100 years to complete a wall. Whoopee!
And to boot, most of the boondoggle of "Donnie's Wall" had less than stellar results. Yes, Mexicans cut the bollards in the impenetrable wall with $30 angle grinders and covered it up with $1 worth of putty. Yes, Mexicans scaled the impenetrable wall with $5 ladders. But that's not the worst part. In many cases, the sensors and cameras looked everywhere but down, so migrants and smugglers hid beneath them. The software, designed to detect humans, falsely dispatched agents to apprehend grazing cattle. And sometimes the hardware simply succumbed to the punishing sun, wind and rain of the Southwest. All of this happened on Donnie's watch. So tell me again exactly who was incompetent?
By the way, where is Mexico's check for this boondoggle? Or are you going to say that the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS never said that Mexico was going to pay for the wall? Or that he was joking? Or that it was just hyperbole? Better ask Tucker "Nobody in their right mind should believe anything I say" Carlson how to answer that question.
Incompetence? Yep. From the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy and everyone who voted for him.
