"When I read the President's veto message, I thought he (Biden) is out of sync with the rest of America and doesn't understand the risk of leaving banks out from custody of cryptocurrency. "

Finally, a branch of government has learned how to use its constitutional power to put a check on another branch of government irregardless of party. My hope is that they continue to do the right thing when it comes to crypto policy for the United States of America. Currently the world perception as a view it from afar is that USA is hostile to crypto. Countries are lining up for that business. It will do two things for them, provided economic development and a tool to shore up their own local currencies.

The bet El Salvador made is paying off!

This is how it's done, folks.

A recent WSJ poll as well as others show the typically pro Repub Mainstream Media effort to help demonstrably, irrefutably provable disastrous economic results Repubs win elections on the generally key election issue of the economy is working as well on the perception of their American electorate target marks this time around as usual.

See, the typically pro Repub Mainstream Media's goal is always to repeat Repub (and now Putin / Kremlin) campaign talking points on the economy and their "winning" (but historically always losing and disastrously so) handling of the economy often enough without push back on the actual data, facts and reality, that voters will or might vote against a MSM-encouraged perceived but mythical "bad" economy under Dems even though their own personsl eyes, ears, experience and results wildly refute such a claim:

The Economy Is OK. Bidens Economy, Not So Much.
Today on TAP: Swing-state voters say their own states economy is humming, but the nations economy? Dont ask.
April 4, 2024

https://prospect.org/blogs-and-newsl...s-not-so-much/

Just in case you were feeling unaccountably perky yesterday, the release of The Wall Street Journals poll of seven swing states should have brought you suitably down. In the seven states the Journal polled, Biden trailed in six (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania) by between six and one percentage points, while coming in tied in Wisconsin. That these results resemble The New York Times swing-state poll of last November shows that these grim tidings are beginning to settle into concrete.

The concrete isnt fully hardened, of course, and the increasing focus that the Biden campaign and the media are giving to the abortion issue and (in the case of the media, one hopes) what Trump is actually saying still could concentrate enough minds to enable Biden to squeak through. But the Journal polls findings on Americans economic perceptions provide further cause for concern. By a 20-point margin (54 percent to 34 percent), the swing-staters preferred Trump to Biden on the question of handling the economy. Where this really becomes interesting, though, is in their responses to their own states economies.

Asked to assess the condition of the economy in their own state and then in the nation as a whole, respondents in each of the seven states replied that their own states economy was in far better shape than the nations. Those who rated their own states economy as not so good or poor did so at rates that ranged from 11 points to 33 points lower than their assessments of the nations overall economy. At one level, this shouldnt come as a surprise: It somewhat echoes other recent polls in which Americans have rated their own families economic condition to be notably better than the nation's.

Neither the swing states actual economic conditions nor the partisan makeup of state government seems to have had much effect on the respondents answers. All but one of the states (Nevada) have rates of unemployment that differ by less than 1 percent from the national unemployment rate. And Democratic Party policy per se doesnt seem to be a cause of discontent:
Four of the states have Democratic governors, and in another (Nevada again), Democrats control both legislative houses, though not the governors office.

That, too, shouldnt come as much of a surprise. The particulars of Bidens economic policies; higher taxes on the rich, re-industrialization, paid sick leave, affordable child care and collegeall poll very well. Its only when the name Biden is attached to peoples assessments of economic conditions that those assessments turn decidedly gloomy.

I dont mean to discount the widespread discontent over high prices generally, particularly of food, and the systemic unaffordability of housing, health care, child care, and higher ed. I dont mean to discount the fact that the president, any president, is held more accountable for such matters than any state-level official.

But when all that discounting is done, its still apparent that the association of Biden with economic conditions brings down the assessment of those conditions. Biden may yet be able to mitigate this by stressing his support for popular progressive economic policies, and the continuation of the recovery (in which his actual record is nothing short of stellar) may help some, too. But looking at this polling suggests that if hes to defeat Trump, abortion and Trump himself are the themes he most needs to sound.

See the poll chart below for how typically pro Repub MSM spin has convinced poll respondents that Bidenomics' provably stellar results for the nation's economy failed despite those same poll respondents' awareness of their own state's and their own family's economic situation being wildly opposite:

It looks like Trump's potential second term economic policy plans are reaching for the Triple or Quadruple Crown of dreaded results as cited over and over again by Wingers here and elsewhere:

Bear in mind, as has been the irrefutable pattern for at least the past 100 years, whoever takes over from an outgoing Dem Administration will have nothing serious to "recover" the economy from anyway. Which is the exact opposite of what always faces whoever takes over from an outgoing Repub administration. As was never more dramatically obvious than when the Biden administration took over from the Trump administration.

[EihTooms]

When Biden brought up the term Bidenomics, his poll numbers crashed so badly that he quit using the term. So I don't know who you are trying to convince of anything.

And this is more classic Tooms. The more you are losing on an issue, the more definitive you get on it. I just caught this today. https://mishtalk.com/economics/where...yields-headed/.

So has the Biden administration with sponsored inflation in everything he does (excessive fiscal stimulus, poor energy policy, regulatory madness, student loan cancellations, Inflation Reduction Act, tariffs, etc. , all highly inflationary).

If people vote the economy, Biden loses. Period. The only issue he wins on is abortion, and I do not think that is going to work unlike in 2022.

The only other issue Biden was ahead on was "preserving Democracy" which is a talking point Democrats are making over and over again. So there is just this association with them. If the Republicans publicized how Biden was involved with trying to put Trump in jail and is denying secret service protection to RFK Jr. , those numbers would tumble, but it is such a fake issue I do not think Republicans are taking it seriously.

Did every other country on the planet experiencing post-Trump's Pandemic Inflation also pass historic economic stimulus recovery legislation? Please explain.

The only common denominator all around the world for the economic Disasters of 2020/2021, the massive job losses, business closures, supply-chain collapse and the Inflation that followed was Trump's Pandemic.

You know who loves Bidenomics the most? The Know Nothing, Do Nothing Repub Liars who rush to the ribbon cuttings, grand openings and job creating centers to take undeserved, unearned credit for successful economy-improving projects funded by legislation they didn't propose, design, fight or vote for!

[Elvis 2008]

Imagine how much better and stronger Biden's terrific economy would be today if he had inherited the stable and superior economic conditions the Obama-Biden Administration handed Trump instead of the colossal shit-storm of a typical Repub economic disaster Biden inherited from Trump. LOL.

election etc and, no question or doubt about it, things are great today compared with what Trump created 4 years ago, 5 years ago, 6 years ago and 7 years ago.

Ok, this explains RFK Jr's obvious cognitive impairment and memory loss. But those worms must have found their way into Trump's and his supporters' brains as well.

How else to account for their obvious cognitive impairment and bizarre form of amnesia on the important issues of Trump's economic policies and stewardship adding Trillions to the deficit while producing at least a Million fewer jobs with it than without it even before his policies and stewardship laid the groundwork for the earliest Covid cases to spread unreported in secrecy in those Chinese labs, thereby converting a likely manageable endemic confined to one region of China into the deadly, worldwide economy-destroying, supply chain-collapsing, hyper inflation-triggering Trump's Pandemic it became and made even worse by his critical 2020 Year of Lies about it, the 2 Bear Market declines in the broad USA Stock Market on his watch, the severe Recessions in Manufacturing and Agriculture, pre Trump's Pandemic, requiring emergency Welfare Checks to be sent out, the double spike in illegal border crossings and the increase in crime rates on his watch and so on?

It can't all be pawned off as mere America-hating evil, can it?

NYT: RFK Jr. says worm got into my brain and ate a portion of it
May 8, 2024

https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/08/polit...ite/index.html

(CNN) Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. experienced a series of health issues in recent years, including an abnormality that he said was caused by a worm that entered his brain and then died, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.

In 2010, Kennedy, now 70, experienced severe memory loss and mental fog, he said in a deposition two years later. According to the Times, he consulted top neurologists familiar with the medical history of his uncle, the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, who had died of brain cancer in 2009. A New York doctor, after reviewing a scan of his brain, told him that his health issues could be caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died, Kennedy said in the 2012 deposition, which concerned a divorce from his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy. Robert Kennedy said at the time that his earning power had been negatively affected by the cognitive issues, the Times reported.

While it will be great for my California rental property income, that California investment would have continued to do very well for me without Trump and his fellow anti Sex For Pleasure ChristoFacist Repubs driving businesses away from Red States well into the future.

Abortion bans drive away up to half of young talent: New CNBC / Generation Lab poll.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/07/abor...ndroidappshare

Almost two-thirds of younger workers would probably not or definitely not live in a state that banned abortion, a new NBC/Generation Lab survey finds.

These numbers on abortion have gigantic implications for just about every large company in America, said Cyrus Beschloss, the CEO of The Generation Lab.

In the past two years, more than 20 states have either banned or restricted access to the procedure.
......
The youngest generation of American workers is prepared to move away from states that pass abortion bans and to turn down job offers in states where bans are already in place, a new survey from CNBC/Generation Lab finds.
......
"These numbers on abortion have gigantic implications for just about every large company in America, said Cyrus Beschloss, the CEO of The Generation Lab. Companies must know theyll be freezing out or at least scaring a large part of the young talent theyre trying to hire when theyre based in one of these states."

California and New York were kind of hoping the blessed trend of movement out of our states by Americans who simply can't cut it with regard to income, rent and mortgage payments might finally result in a few deadbeat Red States starting to carry their load in the USA Economy and Federal Revenue.

But I guess that hope has been dashed for now.

Its the Biden vs. Trump Economy and Hell No, Its Not Even Close.

Biden vs Trump on the economy: And the winner is.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/biden...164241570.html

Bear on mind, this Mainstream Media overview is every bit as pro Repub "Bothsider" as the rest and therefore promotes the fully debunked Trumpian lie that Trump's Pandemic just "came out of nowhere. Nobody could have predicted or warned about such a thing" when the facts as fully reported contemporaneously are clear; defunding and removing the highly regarded Early Warning / Pandemic Prevention teams that Obama had stationed in those Chinese labs months before the first Covid cases emerged and therefore allowed a likely manageable endemic confined and isolated in one region of China to be converted into the Trump's Pandemic it became WAS Trump's economic and national security policy.

Imagine how much better and stronger Biden's terrific economy would be today if he had inherited the stable and superior economic conditions the Obama-Biden Administration handed Trump instead of the colossal shit-storm of a typical Repub economic disaster Biden inherited from Trump. LOL.

Add to which other factors such as Trump keeping America neck deep in a quagmire of a Repub-initiated War in the Middle East for every minute of every hour of every day of his atrocious so-called presidency vs Biden pulling us out of it in the safest, best organized, least deadly withdrawal of a losing side from an occupied country in the history of modern warfare 3 years ago with zero direct USA Military involvement in any War anywhere on the planet ever since, that whole Trump incitement of a violent, cop-attacking and cop-killing mob of insurrectionists to storm the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election and overthrow American democracy as well as Trump's personal involvement in setting up Fake Electors, blackmail and bribe state secretaries into stealing the 2020 election etc and, no question or doubt about it, things are great today compared with what Trump created 4 years ago, 5 years ago, 6 years ago and 7 years ago.

For those Repubs, and affordable ISG INCEL conspiracists, that just love to fawn all over themselves and cream their pants, when it comes to celebrity endorsements, Howard Stern, may have just sealed the deal...for a BIDEN win!!!

And hey, look mom, no celebrity flip-flopping, grandstanding, word salad or clever backpedaling, surrounding an ambiguous interview, with 'misconstrued words' I said, w/r to my unwavering support for President Joe Biden.

Biden Revisits His Past in Interview With Howard Stern
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/26/u...ern-trump.html

In an interview with President Joe Biden, Howard says while he votes Republican most times, he will not vote for an idiot (in Trump), that wants to destroy DEMOCRACY.

With at peak viewership in late 2019 at around 35 million, that's a big boost for Biden, among white males. Howard Stern audience are upscale professionals. 74% of his audience are between 25-54 years of age with an average household income of $160k. 73% Male and 27% female. 34% college graduates, 85% white.

Howard Who? No one gives a crap about Howard anymore-- he is a Big Joke-- Especially how he hid in his house for 5 years afraid of the covid-.

Howard has lost his clout long ago-.

He had his head up Senile Biden's ass in that interview-.

Here is a great Re-cap.

So the CIA Is behind Biden's record high jobs creation, near record consecutive months of unemployment rates below 4%, wage gains, bi-partisan CHIPS and Science legislation, zero Major Repub-style Bear Market declines, multiple All-time Record High Closes in the Broad USA Stock Market, zero Great Repub-style Depressions or Great Recessions, zero Repub-style Massive Jobs Destruction, historic expansion and strengthening the spread of democracy by the addition of 2 NATO Member nations, reversing Trump and Putin's failed attempts to weaken and overthrow democracies and make the world a welcome haven for authoritarian dictatorships, save rather than mass murder millions of people around the world by not laying the groundwork foundation for any opportunistic potential Pandemic virus and lie us into an even worse one after it has predictably spread out of control and on and on and on?

Well, damn, let's give them 4 more years to keep up the good work by spreading the "good news" to loony Biden / Dem-haters that a vote for Biden and his obviously far superior economic and national security results vs any Repub in the past 100 years if not since forever is not really a vote for an "evil" (to America-hating Repubs) Democrat but for a much younger demographic "CIA" instead!

So far, this "CIA" has accomplished more positive economic and national security results for the USA than perhaps any Repub so-called president ever and spectacularly more than any or all of the previous 8+ Repub potuses combined!

Will the CIA and Biden Admin Pull to Stop the election?? Any ideas? Seems like they will do anything to stop DJT.

They'll probably start claiming elections are rigged and that America will be a Bloodbath regardless who wins, either by Trump Repub inconsolable rage and disappointment if Dem Biden hits 270 EVs or by Repub Trump retribution for him finally being forced to face justice for his various crimes if he hits 270 EVs.

That's what Repub Trump has promised anyway.

Oh. You were asking about Dem Biden. Nevermind.

Dems are into democracy because democracy is into them. They like having elections and want every eligible voter's vote to count.

Repubs are not into democracy because, obviously, democracy is just not into them. They really hate elections and would much rather no voter's votes be counted, just hand it ChristoFacist Mike and Moscow Marjorie Taylor Greene to follow Trump's orders for the decision.
