American Politics

"The election of Joe Biden as president has led to a dramatic shift in America's international image. Throughout Donald Trump's presidency, publics around the world held the United States in low regard, with most opposed to his foreign policies. This was especially true among key American allies and partners. Now, a new Pew Research Center survey of 16 publics finds a significant uptick in ratings for the USA, with strong support for Biden and several of his major policy initiatives. "

Just look at the charts in the article.

The cultists will say that this is all "fake news" of course and will use whataboutism to "prove it".

[Villainy]

Oh please. The protestors killed no one. There was video of police letting protestors in. The only person killed was a protestor. A cop dies of a stroke and the lamestrain media says for months that the protestors did him in. The most famous guy there, the one with the weird buffalo hat, who sat on Nancy Pelosi's throne was actively talking with a cop in the room.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_U...Capitol_attack

1 person was killed (a protestor) but 4 others died, one from an overdose and 3 from natural causes so let's skip over the deaths. You conveniently forgot to mention that 138 police officers were injured. Why do I think that if this had been a "Black Lives Matter" protest or something you would call a leftist group and 138 police officers were injured you would be howling like a mad dog that these creatures have to be held accountable. The rule of law yadda yadda yadda.

The FBI did the Russiagate thing which is something you douches still believe is true. Putin fixed the election! What other reason could there be?

As usual, you have selective memory. Didn't the Directer of the FBI (James Comey) announce that the FBI was still actively investigating Hillary Clinton's emails just 11 days before the election? When has the FBI ever made an announcement about an ongoing investigation? And less than 2 weeks before the election?

And you make it out like some fringe faction thinks the election was stolen when 47% of Americans including 30% of Democrats think it was. I knew Georgia was going Dems in the senate race after I saw what happened there in the presidential election. It was a no-brainer.

My take on the whole thing was fighting it was a waste of time. No judge even the gutless Supreme Court was going to take this on. They were bashed just for following the law in Florida for GW Bush. And now if you do not watch the videos of police actively assisting protestors, you are delusional. This was every bit as staged as Russiagate was.

The best polling done on whether there was voter fraud was done by Monmouth University and they conducted several polls each a few months apart. 32% is the number (not your 47% fantasy number).

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...***-fraud-poll

By the way didn't the Trump Appointed Attorney General William Barr announce that the Justice Department had conducted an investigation and there was "no evidence of widespread voter fraud that would have changed the outcome of the election. ". That announcement coming from a complete Trump lackey, makes it surprising that some conspiracy theorists continue to champion this absurd claim.

.........And now we have fossils like Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer. No wonder our economy has gone to shit. So tell me PV, when have you voted for a Republican?

Oh and on the subject of fossils I'm surprised you overlooked a few others like Chucky Grassley, Richard Shelby, and Jim Inhofe. Inhofe is really quite famous for tossing a snowball during a Senate session to support his claim that climate change doesn't exist. I was expecting him to eat a hot-dog and claim that World Hunger didn't exist either.

Aside from his historic 2018 CDC defunding disaster and his incomparable contributions to creating Trump's Pandemic in the first place, you do remember that Trump's lamebrained policies slammed the USA Manufacturing and Agro sector, right? Gee, we're all happy that he further subsidized the oil and energy sectors. Those poor dears need all the additional subsidies and corporate welfare they can get.

Meanwhile, thanks to his zero gain trade war against China, Trump had to send more Socialist welfare checks to USA Farmers just to keep them afloat:

The president tweeted on Tuesday that "Tariffs are the greatest!" Farmers don't think so. [ / be].

Yep, all pre Trump's Pandemic, Mr. Financial Advisor.

Why do you bother posting irrelevant data. The Dow is officially up 84 per cent in last 5 years. Easy to check on any computer. My portfolio is up 100 per cent. Cali Guy post is totally correct and you are trying to confuse the issue with irrelevant information. Pathetic.

So we have fuckers like Fauci in office, highest paid government worker there is, shilling for vaccine / drug companies, and there is this never ending rotation of people from government into the private sector.

It does not matter. Your ilk is determined to not have Trump run for president. You all have done all you can to undermine the Democratic process and to prevent him from serving as president and did all you could so he would not serve again.

Great post but the socialists here don't like the truth.

[Elvis 2008]

The only people who don't care about January 6th are the 74+ million fools who voted for the former guy. People like you, Elvis, Cali and a few others. Your comment of "politicians scared for one day" says it all.

Oh please. The protestors killed no one. There was video of police letting protestors in. The only person killed was a protestor.

You guys think January 6 was worse than 9-11 when no one died on 1-6. WTF? To me, this just shows how the media is tied in with the swamp like it was with all the other BS from the CIA and FBI. Russiagate, Ukrainegate, and 1-6 are all the same to me. As Matt Taibbi said, the Hunter Biden laptop story was not that some sleazeball was pedaling influence for dollars and fucking underage women and doing drugs but for the first time ever, the whole incident was banned from the lamestream media.

Your claim of cultist worship miss the fucking point. None of us are in love with Trump, but he is the only one we trust to at least take a whack at the big tech-media-Democrat-swamp alliance. I even have talked to fellow Republicans who have told me they hope Biden hangs on because the one thing they absolutely do not want more than anything is President Kamala Harris. Given how Biden can seemingly never put together a complete sentence IMO the attacks on him have been mild. We all know the guy is not all there.

So Trump will win in 2024 if nothing else due to the fucking censorship you douches have been advocating. WTF is up with that?

Trump should have had more people watching the ballots and he will next time. There was no cheating in 2020 but this time we are going to make sure there is really no cheating in 2022 and 2024 not that cheating had an effect on the election (cough, cough). So my take on things is Trump lost the election because he saw it could be stolen and did not take enough action to prevent that.

I am not the cultist you think I am and maybe in 2028 you guys can come with a candidate with all his facilities present that I might consider voting for. The only presidential vote I regret in my life was for Dole in 1996 over Clinton. I voted for Obama in 2008 and still would. Quite frankly, the country is at its best when you have two leaders who are super intelligent going at each other. This country had the most prosperity then when Clinton was president and Gingrich ruled Congress.

And now we have fossils like Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer. No wonder our economy has gone to shit. So tell me PV, when have you voted for a Republican?

Thanks, Joe, Nancy, Chuck and the Dems.

Private job growth totals 807,000 in December, doubling expectations, ADP says

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/05/adp-...ndroidappshare

Private job growth totaled 807,000 for the month, well ahead of the Dow Jones estimate for 375,000 and the November gain of 505,000 according to ADP.

Hiring was broad-based, though leisure and hospitality led with 246,000 new positions.

Businesses with 500 or more employees accounted for the bulk of the gains in December, adding 389,000 jobs.

Shhhh. Don't tell Mainstream Media pundits about this. Please.

Our firm is one of the 3 biggest in USA and we get research weekly. They are not always right and some advisors don't do the research but we have an incredible record.

Great report. Pretty much sums up what my financial advisors have told me the last year. I use 2 of the 3 biggest firms in USA with 2/3 in one and 1/3 in the other. Both of them would agree with you totally. I use 2 firms because each firm offers different funds to give me more flexibility. Interesting enough about the market is that until 2007 the markets did a little better under democrat presidency than republican presidents but changed when Obama became president. Markets were stable but stagnant under Obama.

[Cali Guy]

Good lord, man, then your client is in big trouble, Mr. Advisor.

The broad USA Stock Market as quite accurately represented by the S&P 500 Index was down -4. 38% in 2018. There was a broadly based Bear Market Decline (20%) in December of that year. Did you not notice it? Or remember it?

They are in particular big trouble if you were advising them to invest just as large and enthusiastically during any previous Repub administration as the Dem administrations, which means they have not dodged but ridden every Great Repub Bear Market Crash to the very dead bottom and gained almost nothing but anxiety by the time the next Dem administration came in to recover it.

Obviously you are uneducated in the financial world and are not involved in it. Dow was just over 18,000 January 2017 and it is now 36000. The market was consistent in 2018 between 23,000 to 27,000 with solid growth. That is about 100 per cent increase. My clients have done really well. They are happy and I get referrals daily. My clients invest for long term wealth. The building of wealth is better with fluctuations in the market. Every correction is an opportunity to buy. Market crashing from Covid actually helped their portfolios because they were able to buy depressed stocks.

Obviously you have no clue on investing and have not capitalized on the market to date. If you are making investments in the market when republicans are in power then you are not participating in the market. If you were one of the stupid ones and I had a few clients like that who sold all their portfolio when Trump became president you lost big time. I had 2 clients who sold everything when Trump became president. $1,500,000 and $2,400,000 portfolios that now would be $3,000,000 and $5,000,000 portfolios.

Both Trump and Biden will probably be dead by 2029.

That's probably the year Kamala gets inaugurated.

For her first or second term.

Thank you for adding to the list of people who support the January 6th coup attempt.

The rioters did do more than break windows and take selfies. They smeared c all over the walls of the Capitol. They stole both personal and Government property. They threatened to hang the Vice President of the US. They illegally attempted to stop the certification of the Electoral College votes. Make no mistake, this was an attempted coup.

The only person killed inside the Capitol that day would not have been killed if she had stayed home. Instead, she forcibly and illegally tried to enter the barricaded Speaker's lobby. I thought Republicans believed that "actions have consequences". Or does that only apply to black people, LGBTQ persons, etc?

G. O. A. T? ROFL. Undoubtedly, though, the G. G. O. A. T. Greatest Grifter Of All Time.

Oligarchs stole the election? How? By having Chinese thermostats change votes? Every one of Donnie's 60+ lawsuits failed. Why? Lack of evidence.

I support full scale civil war.

Winner takes all!

"The fact that you and many so-called conservatives don't care about January 6th is what is really concerning. When was finding out who organized and funded the January 6th assault on our free elections a petty partisan exercise to be disparaged by virtually every elected Congressional Republican?" Come on. "Everyone knows" that it was a false flag operation organized by the FBI. Tucker said so, so it must be true!

Every time a Dem / Biden-basher ignores the overwhelming record of positive results for America produced by Dems and now by Biden in particular along with the disastrous results of Repubs and most especially those of Trump, you are proving yourself to be the obedient servant of Mainstream Media

Since many of them are middle class. No better off than a large number of democrats.

They look like suckers to me.
