Rebubs don't need there to be "any" actual issue to really exist in order to rile up their sucker base to vote against it in terror. LOL. So there is no need to waste your wishes by wishing for something unnecessary.
Better for you to wish the next Repub president doesn't Crash the USA economy into another Great Repub Recession/Depression and isn't puzzled over whether or not to defund the CDC and pull out all of its Pandemic Prevention and Response monitors from those Chinese labs against all expert advice not to do something so dangerous and stupid, lie about the next potential virus Pandemic for personal image reasons and thereby mass murder 750,000+ Americans, wipe out tens of millions more USA jobs and destroy international travel for years afterwards.
I mean, as long as you're wishing for something impossible.

If he had been a Repub instead of a Dem he would be considered indisputably a "GREAT Repub President", maybe "The Greatest Repub President Ever!" But as a Dem he was mostly better than average.
Lol. I love pointing out Carter's far superior results vs every Repub in defiance of what typically pro Repub Mainstream Media has repeated in total contradiction of the actual data and record of results.
I mean, it's no fun pointing out how much better the FDR, JFK/LBJ, Clinton, Obama and now Biden results were than any Repub's results. By far. That's just too obvious and inarguable.

You should lay off the sauce until you learn how to make a coherent argument. Of course, since making a coherent argument is not your goal to begin with, you're exactly where you want to be.
Of the many types of logical fallacies, the straw man fallacy is particularly common in political debates and in discussions over controversial topics. The basic structure of the argument consists of Person A making a claim, Person B creating a distorted version of the claim (the straw man), and then Person B attacking this distorted version in order to refute Person As original assertion.

The problem with you is you assume there are two sides, and you are on the right one when you could not be more wrong. Matt Taibbi puts it better than I ever could:
Compared with how often you heard pundits rage about the "insurrection," how regularly did you hear that billionaire wealth has risen 70% or $2.1 trillion since the pandemic began? The economic news at the top hasn't just been good, it's been record-setting good, during a time of severe cultural crisis.
Twenty or thirty years ago, the Big Lie was usually a patriotic fairy tale designed to cast America in a glow of beneficence. Nurtured in think-tanks, stumped by politicians, and amplified by Hollywood producers and media talking heads, these whoppers were everywhere: America would have won in Vietnam if not for the media, poverty didn't exist (or at least, wasn't shown on television), only the Soviets cuddled with dictators or toppled legitimate governments, etc. The concept wasn't hard to understand: leaders were promoting unifying myths to keep the population satiated, dumb, and focused on their primary roles as workers and shoppers.
All sense of noblesse oblige is gone. The logic of our kleptocratic economy has gone beyond even the "Greed is Good" mantra of the fictional Gordon Gekko, who preached that pure self-interest would make America more efficient, better-run, less corrupt. Even on Wall Street, nobody believes that anymore. America is a sinking ship, and its CEO class is trying to salvage the wreck in advance, extracting every last dime before Battlefield Earth breaks out.
It's only in this context that these endless cycles of hyper-divisive propaganda make sense. It's time to start wondering if maybe it's not a coincidence that politicians and pundits alike are pushing us closer and closer to actual civil war at exactly the moment when corporate wealth extraction is reaching its highest-ever levels of efficiency. Keeping the volk at each other's throats instead of pitchforking the aristocrats is an old game, one that's now gone digital and works better than ever. That might be worth remembering after the coming verdict, and ahead of whatever other hyper-publicized panic comes down the pipeline next.
End of quote.
The difference between the Republican retard and Democratic douche is the retard does not show his stupidity publicly while you guys are open about it, fighting to be queen of the douches with your hyperpartisan nonsense. I am not trying to win an argument. I really just wish you all would shut up with all your hyperpartisan bullshit on a hooker board, but it is so inbred in you all that it is normal.
As an example, if you are a douche, this is the greatest speech ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zNr8Pf1QkY.
To the rest of us, it is crude, unimaginative, and worst of all completely inappropriate given the setting but then what I can say? I am no douche.
And of course, Youtube has not taken it down.

Posts: 3497As far as the topic of the Jan 6 mostly peaceful protest at the capitol, here's a fine black gentleman who puts things into perspective. This guy is obviously a fine American. He should run for public office.

Stocks rise on signs of consumer strength despite rising prices, Home Depot leads Dow higher
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/15/stoc...ndroidappshare
U.S. stocks gained on Tuesday after a strong October retail sales report and better-than-expected third-quarter results from Home Depot and Walmart signaled the U.S. consumer is still ramping up spending even in the face of rising prices.
Because now they can.
Thanks, Brandon!

The Return of the Breadline.
In the 1930s, Americans lined up on sidewalks for food. Today, theyre lining up on the roads.
