Yes, an easy win for you, but not that one
Sorry, but blathering easily debunked inaccuracies as you have done does not prove any point other than that you would probably easily win the vote on that nomination for the least informed self-proclaimed Democrat on the board I'm trying to swing for you.

Hey, the upside for you is as a Democrat you have probably voted for more Dems and therefore many more U.S. economic recoveries and expansions, including this current historic one (assuming you did vote for Biden) and possibly none of the horrific Repub Crashes and Massive USA Job Losses, than any self-proclaimed Repubs or supposed "conservatives" you know.
That puts you way, WAY ahead of them for doing something positive for America, a distinction worthy of your pride.
And that's the most important thing you've done even if you don't know that's what you did.

I proved my point easily
I proved my point easily. I am the only democrat on this site that won't ignore the Biden administration disasters. In California most of my friends are democrats. Some are socialists similar to the posters on this site. My democrat friends are realizing that Biden is doing a terrible job especially at the border as this affects San Diego. Most of my friends are blaming Biden for high gas prices and inflation. My socialist friends are very similar to you. They defend Biden and blame Trump or others for Biden failures. And they talk amongst their socialist friends and they agree. Fortunately elections are only a year away and hope is on site. Originally Posted by EihTooms

Simpson shows up in a white Ford Bronco with JonBenet Ramsey in tow to cast the deciding vote.

Well, it ain't Biden and the Dems.
Guess who?
And the "great" Keystone XL pipeline championed by Repubs despite the fact that it was never going to make a barrel of oil cheaper for the USA, only more expensive, and it was only going to create a whopping 35 permanent USA jobs?
Dogshit.
Here is a big energy industry and jobs creation WIN for the USA:
U.S. Loosens China Grip on $46 Billion Lithium-Battery Industry

Thanks, Joe. Bet nobody here heard a word about this in the so-called "pro Dem, pro lib" Mainstream Media.(Bloomberg) -- The USA Is narrowing the gap on China's dominance of the $46 billion lithium-ion battery industry thanks to investments from Tesla Inc. and the Biden administration's policy push to drive growth of electric vehicles.

10-12-21 17:46 #4918Okay, I know I shouldn't engage, but let's just take one of your claims -- crude oil prices. Here is a chart of WTI through the Trump years until now: Originally Posted by CaliGuy

From Trump's inaguration, WTI oscillated around $65 or $70 until April 2020, when it plunged to $20/ bbl -- why? Demand cratered because of the pandemic -- remember?. Many producers took wells and equipment off line -- why? Because they couldn't make money at that price. With regards to heavy crude, and particularly tar sand oil, the break even price is estimated to be $80/ bbl. Now that the pandemic is lessening, demand is increasing but production still lags.
Okay, Biden cancelled a key permit for the XL pipeline, but it has been doomed for years because of oil prices and the inability to get private financing. Banks only loaned money to it when the loans were guaranteed by the Alberta government. That pipeline was a stupid idea, and the only thing that sustained it was government money. Capitalism killed it.

Keep ignoring it
Everyone knows that if supply is cut on any product prices go up. Biden cancelled all drilling permits on federal land cutting new drilling by 50%. Biden cancelled XL pipeline and reversed many of Trump regulations making drilling and transportation of oil more expensive. Result is oil goes from $40 per barrel a year ago to $80 thus gas goes up. Now we are going back to be dependent on OPEC and Russian oil. Not only has but natural gas has increased from $2. 50 per mcf to $5.85 per mcf and heating oil has gone up 68% making everyone's heating bills to skyrocket this winter. Originally Posted by EihTooms

With the increase in illegal immigrants, criminals crossing the open border and increasing drug trade crime will always go up. I suppose you think Biden open border policy helps the average American.
I suppose you think Trump secure border policy and every other countries secure border policies are worse.
I voted for Biden because I hated Trump but I didn't hate his policies. That was a mistake. I am man enough to admit I screwed up. It does not appear that you or any other democrat here will admit this president is a failure. 100 times worse than Trump. Unfortunately ignoring this does not make America better. Obviously you don't have kids or grandkids that are going to suffer from Biden catastrophe.
World leaders are taking advantage of his incompetence and USA is the victim.

10-12-21 06:34 #4914I hope they "fraudit" and "recount" every ballot and vote in every state from now on. What the hell, Repubs aren't busy doing anything else. It's certainly less damaging to America than when Repubs actually "do" something. Originally Posted by MarquisdeSade1

10-12-21 06:00 #4913What, pray tell, would Biden's policies have to do with $5 per gallon gas or any inflation-related issues other than that his historic economic recovery following Trump's Great Repub Crash and Recession that plunged worldwide economies and supply chains into near total paralysis for 18 months has naturally caught virtually every manufacturer and shipper short of millions of workers for the millions of jobs Trump's disastrous economic decisions wiped out?

I might nominate you for the least informed self-proclaimed Democrat on the board.
Oh, btw, the murder rate spiked higher during Trump's so-called presidency than it has in 2021 under Biden:
Murder Rose by Almost 30% in 2020. Its Rising at a Slower Rate in 2021.
The increase in U.S. murders this summer does not appear to be as large as the record spike last summer.

Giuliani broke. No worries, maybe soon he won't need to pay any more rent
A first I thought I was reading a Wall Street Journal article. But I guess this is published NY the Wall Street Rebel:
Giuliani Broke, Humiliated and Abandoned by Trump.
It's taken decades for Rudy Giuliani to recognize that Donald J. Trump has no genuine friends and only limited acquaintances in his inner circle. When people become useless and are no longer relevant to his immediate needs Trump discards them as he would garbage. Giuliani is no exception.
Rudy Giuliani figured he had it made when Donald Trump was elected to the presidency in 2016. As a member of Trump's inner circle, Rudy figured if he didn't end up being nominated to become Trump's Attorney General, he would make a fortune as a lobbyist, making the most of his personal and business relationship with Trump.
Like many in Trump's inner circle, he expected he would be re-elected right up to Election Day 2020, so Guiliani, like so many others, figured if he bent and broke a few laws, Trump would be in a position to bail him out.
We now know that Guiliani played his relationship with Trump for as much money as possible, acting as an unregistered lobbyist to more than one country. He is now the subject of an ongoing investigation conducted by the Southern District USA Attorney's (SDNY) office, even after Trump's minions at the Justice Department tried to kill the investigation.
The media's latest reporting reports that Guiliani now knows it's just a matter of time before he is indicted for failing to register as a foreign lobbyist and expects to end up in prison.
What must hurt the most is after all the dirty work Giuliani did for Trump, including pushing the "Stop the steal" crap, he will never be part of Trump's inner circle.
Despite building a war chest of more than $100 million in the aftermath of the 2020 general election by scamming his supporters, Trump will never pay Giuliani for his services as a personal attorney and front-line stooge in reinstating the president's campaign.
Giuliani transverse the country, many times almost too drunk to stand to stop the steal as Trump's lawyer is now, drowning under a mountain of legal fees that could leave the former New York mayor bankrupt.
The New York Times reports that Trump raised a whopping $102 million in the first half of 2021. Salon.com reported last month that Trump had not used a dime of the money meant to help pays for vote audits and other expenses need to overturn the election. What little money Trump has spent has promoted his election conspiracy campaign, including exciting the feeble and nonexistent GOP-backed recounts in Georgia, Pennsylvania, or Arizona.
On Sunday, Maggie Haberman of the New York Times reported some of Giuliani's closest allies are saying "he is close to being broke."
Haberman also reported that even if Trump wanted to come to Guiliani's financial rescue.
"Trump aides have been clear they see no mechanism for paying Giuliani's legal bills that isn't problematic for Trump, and they think Giuliani took actions a lawyer should have known were problematic, even if the client wanted it.
"But this is of note in the context of Trump having had a previous lawyer (Michael Cohen) who pleaded guilty and then cooperated with an investigation into Trump."
This leaves Giuliani steeped in a federal investigation alleging that he worked as an unregistered lobbyist for Ukraine, pressuring Ukrainian officials to launch a probe in President Biden and his son Hunter by threatening to withhold USA Military aid.
Guiliani also finds himself named a defendant in a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit filed against him and other Trump acolytes filed by Dominion Voting Systems over his and their baseless claims that the company's equipment was compromised in President Biden's favor.
Guiliani realizing that Trump wasn't ever going to write him a check, then attempted to raise $5 million on "Go Fund Me" only to discover Trump supporters could give a rats ass about him. After a couple of weeks, he raised a "paltry" $9,798 for his legal defense about $4,990,202 short of his goal.
He was not getting paid by Trump for his legal work to overturn the election, then being suspended from practicing law in the state of New York and Washington the. See. Crippled any hope Guiliani had of making any personal income. Yet, despite the chatter from Guiliani's friends about his plight even on the brink of apparent bankruptcy, Giuliani doesn't appear to be particularly panicked.
Last week, the suspended lawyer told NBC New York that everything he's done over the past several years came as part of an effort to defend his client, Donald Trump.
"I'm more than willing to go to jail if they want to put me in jail. And if they do, they're going to suffer the consequences in heaven. I'm not. Because I didn't do anything wrong."
Even with Guiliani sinking in a deep dark hole, he still refuses to recognize that Trump's refusal to extend Giuliani aid has all the appearance of a broader effort by the former president to distance himself from this ex-attorney. Trump knows like Guiliani knows he may be just a week or two away from a Federal indictment and is heading for a fitting for an orange jump shoot.
The Washington Post reported as far back as late January that Trump "instructed aides not to pay Giuliani's legal fees and.
"Has demanded that he personally approve any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on the president's behalf to stop the steal and push to challenge election results in key states. ".
Trump has also privately "expressed concern" to his aides that Giuliani's moves to overturn the election were crazy and was put off by the former attorney's $20,000 daily fees. Then again, Trump is famous for not paying his lawyers.
