Deaf and Blind Tiny's Straw Man Arguments
[QUOTE=TheCane;2989194]If you can't think of anything big and good that Biden did, then you aren't thinking very much at all and being totally unfair. In any event, Biden wasn't the candidate. It was the VP Harris. That said, I'm not here to try to prove the case. I'm not interested in trying to change anyone's mind. That's just a waste of time. So, believe what you want to. I just say you're wrong and move on. People say you can't easily change someone's mind by starting out with telling them they are wrong. Well again, I'm not interested in changing minds! But if I feel strongly about it, then I just might say the other side is wrong. How someone can think Trump the convicted felon (and that's just to start) is the lesser of evils and a suitable leader and representative of America on the world stage is beyond me! He's the worst President ever if you ask me due to a lack of respect for the Constitution and his attempt to overturn a free and fair election in what [B]used to be[/B] the world's greatest democracy.[/QUOTE]LOL. For me, Ultra MAGA Winger Tiny pulled this straw man argument out of his ass:
[QUOTE]Tooms, I hope someday you'll realize that the national debt was a bipartisan affair. And presidents don't have as much to do with the economy as you think they do. On a % of GDP basis, I imagine the biggest jump in the national debt occurred during FDR's presidency. And if you're going to pin the debt from COVID on Trump, then you've got to pin the debt from WWII on FDR.[/QUOTE]I had JUST posted a link showing that adjusted for inflation and going back to 1913 the Dems and Repubs increased government spending and the debt by almost equal amounts but that the Repubs added more to it by $0. 2 Trillion.
And ANOTHER link showing that Trump spent TWICE what Biden spent on Covid AND non Covid expenditures. With NO mention that it was evil Covid that forced poor put upon Trump to jack up his government spending to record highs. The fact that his non Covid expenditures were already TWICE what Biden's non Covid expenditures were is proof enough that in typical classic Repub fashion Trump was determined to spend TWICE as much as the nearest Dem and break all government spending records regardless whether he had found and embraced a golden opportunity like Covid to do it or not. That is just what they do.
The larger point was Trump's record breaking government spending and deregulation produced exactly zero net gain for the economy and jobs creation in light of the fact that his classic Repub general legislative nothingness and blithering stewardship produced the worst jobs creation and business crashing results of all time.
Oh, so he cut corporate tax rates and deregulated, did he? Impressive. Are we supposed to love that process and ignore the results? Every Repub seeks to lower tax rates for corporations and top margins and deregulate. Hooray. Let's just ignore the fact that whatever process they apply to accomplish it, Repubs' policies and stewardship has RESULTED in every Great Depression, Great Recession and Massive Jobs Destruction in the millions of the past 100 years and none of the Great Recoveries, Great Expansions and Historic Jobs Creation. Oh, but their tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulation was beautiful. Lolol.
And, again, along the way they somehow spent MORE than Dems but still managed not to propose, fight for and pass one solitary Great Legislative Program when they controlled the WH, House and Senate in all that time equal to so much as the least of those produced by Dems. Hell, forget anything close to Social Security and Unemployment Benefits. Trump cut corporate tax rates, deregulated, plunged America into the worst economic downturn and jobs destruction since Hoover and still somehow managed not to pass one sentence of Infrastructure Legislation after 4 years of pretending to try while Biden passed a historic Infrastructure bill and a Science and Chips Act that even virulent America-hating Winger Repubs are rushing to protect from President Musk's Chainsaw.
Results count. Process is interesting but ultimately meaningless compared to Results.
Not only do Wingers like Tiny not notice anything Biden accomplished (historic positive results), but apparently the only thing they can recall that FDR accomplished after top marginal tax cutters and deregulator Repubs Coolidge / Hoover handed him one of the worst economic results in history was to spend government money. LOL.
Nvida. The intellectual beat down continues!
[QUOTE=SubCmdr;2989143]Ok, let's just stick to the facts and see if you are speaking truth or just more of your lies and insults.[/QUOTE]Nvida chips are the ones that have allowed for the [B]RACIST[/B] Musk to advance further than anyone other vehicle manufacture on the autonomous driving feature using AI.
[QUOTE]Despite developing its own chip, Tesla still relies on Nvidia GPUs for training its deep neural networks on a massive scale. Tesla uses an in-house supercomputer named Dojo, which is powered by Nvidia A100 Tensor Core GPUs to train its neural networks for Autopilot and self-driving capabilities. This supercomputer can achieve an industry-leading 1.8 exaflops of performance.
Tesla's Autopilot system is classified as Level 2 under the SAE six levels of vehicle automation, meaning it requires active driver supervision and is not fully autonomous.
Nvidia, on the other hand, works closely with Tesla to provide the necessary hardware and software for training and development of autonomous driving features.
Tesla's decision to use Nvidia GPUs for training its neural networks is crucial for continuous improvement and validation of its Autopilot features. The company collects data from over 1 million cars driving on the road to refine and build new features for its autonomous driving technology.
In summary, while Tesla has developed its own custom chip for autonomous driving, it continues to use Nvidia's GPUs for training its neural networks, highlighting the ongoing collaboration between the two companies.[/QUOTE]Taking the rock straight to the hole and dunking right in his face.

Trump isn't fooling anyone except MAGA Fools.
A couple of serious USA Stock Market watchers have spoken about Trump's blithering, blathering, cognitive incapacity Trade War and Tariffs Disaster's negative influence on the forward-looking USA Stock Market.
And, uh, it has nothing to do with Biden's multiple all-time record closing Stock Market highs or the Envy of the World Economy he handed Trump on a silver platter or his historic legislative achievements, all of which will be the only things that prevent Trump from producing another contractually-required Great Repub Depression / Great Repub Recession as soon as he is obviously trying very, very, very hard to produce one:

[QUOTE]Widely followed strategist Ed Yardeni, one of the biggest bulls on Wall Street, lowered his market forecast, saying [b]President Donald Trumps tariffs raise the risk of stagflation.[/b]
[B]"It has dawned on Wall Street (and us!) that President Trumps tariffs arent negotiating chips to help the U.S. lower tariffs around the world, promoting free trade", Yardeni said in a note to clients Thursday. "They're trade barriers, triggering other countries to respond in kind, and they jeopardize U.S. inflation and economic growth."[/b]
..........
Yardeni said, [b]"U.S. trade policy is disorganized. We can't ignore the potential stagflationary impact of the policies that Trump 2.0 is currently implementing haphazardly."[/b]
"In response to the [b]now heightened risk of stagflation, we are lowering our S&P 500 valuation expectations and year-end price targets", Yardeni said. "If tariffs stick, the one-time price increase and uncertainty regarding its impact on inflation expectations are likely to be enough to keep the FOMC on pause"[/b], he said, referring to the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee of the U.S. U.S. Federal Reserve.
[B]Goldman Sachs this week became the first major sell-side bank on Wall Street to slash its S&P 500 target, lowering its objective to 6,200 from 6,500.[/b][/QUOTE]
You want a real list? No problem.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2989429]It is funny how neither of you listed anything. When I read through Biden's accomplishments, they all involved printing money to pay for something or just being in place when the pandemic ended. In fact, cranking up the government printing press is what Trump did as well. I do not see any difference between Biden's and Trump's policies.
But the real point is if Biden was so damned great, why did you all get rid of him before the 2024 election? We all know the reason is because he would not win.
As far as that goes, Ronald Reagan was showing signs of dementia towards the end of his last term, and he was so popular I think he would have won in 1988 had he run..[/QUOTE]I often cite 2-3 Biden legislative accomplishments, which is already 1-2 more than you could cite for Trump's Pandemic Part 1 term. And the RESULTS are easily researched in, say, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the months and months and months of jobs reports. And I have several times posted links for how typical American Working Men and Women's purchasing power in the past couple of years already surpassed that of 2019 by hundreds of dollars per year.
But if you really want a complete list from a perfectly non-partisan source, here ya' go.

And, yes, that same non-partisan source covered the Trump's Pandemic Part 1 term as well. In fact, it covers his political life from the time he announced his candidacy. I encourage you and others to by all means look it up. Lololol.
Spoiler Alert: The first Trump so-called presidency is carefully documented by almost nothing by thousands and thousands of idiotic tweets about every nonsensical incoherent thought that crossed his mind with precious little if ANY actual accomplishments for four solid horrific and blithering, blathrring years.
Oh, what the hell. OK, I'll do all the work for you. Here is the link:

Oops. I meant to include another Biden link
When I posted this reply earlier I inadvertently only included a link for the Biden-Harris Administration's accomplishments on behalf of our Military Servicemembers and their Families. Which is already far greater than anything Trump ever accomplished in his 1st term. But I actually meant to include the link for his and Harris' entire presidential accomplishments but neglected to include it.
So I have now rectified that oversight here:
