American Politics

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2680162]The EIA says you are full of it on gas prices.

The average retail price of a gallon of gas was $1. 872 in February of 2016. Who was President then? And guess what? That price was cheaper than [B]at any time during the reign of Corporal Bone Spurs[/B].

Furthermore, the lowest average retail prices of a gallon of gas were $1.93 and $1.961 in April and May of 2020. What was happening then? COVID and the COVID shutdowns all over the USA. Also, the prices of a gallon of gas remained low, virtually all of the rest of 2020. Which proves my contention that the low price of gasoline had more to do with COVID and fewer miles being driven that who was in the White House.

Here's the link but I already know you'll call it "fake newZ" because that's what you do.

Gas was cheap with Trump in office and remained cheap through Covid but took a dramatic increase when Biden took office. Biden killing pipelines and drilling basically got us to $6 gas.

Sorry, Repubs, it happens to be an Employee's Market now, no longer an Employer's Market for a nice change. Thanks, Joe, Nancy, Chuck, the Dems and everyone who voted for them.

Poor corporate CEOs. They might have to put in a little effort to come up with some enticing perks and benefits for their new hires rather than just looking at them as another stepping stone to banking 500+ times their income and damning them for not making it 600+ times their income.

At this point in most Repubs' so-called presidencies of the past century, the USA's economy had either already or soon would start wiping out millions upon millions of jobs and the massive numbers of the newly unemployed would have to beg for shitty jobs paying dirt wages.[/QUOTE]Read previous posts and you have your answer. There are jobs everywhere because democrats refuse to go back to work. Are democrats lazy or dumb? No one knows. But either way they don't want to work.

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2680144]Hunter and his laptop, the big "October surprise" that never happened. LOL.[/QUOTE]Day of reckoning is coming for Hunter and Joe. The fake news is actually going to have to start reporting it soon. This is going to be fun to watch.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2680116]Haven't any of you winger Repub QAnon loons noticed that even FUX News Channel hacks at those White House press briefings and press conferences aren't dumb enough and self-loathing enough to risk looking like total nutjobs by legitimately asking or even shouting out questions pertaining to these Hunter's laptop and Rube Goldberg oil purchase conspiracy concoctions and the missiles at Saudi Arabia, Israel and all the other totally unsubstantiated idiotic blather you people are obsessed with here?

LOL.

It's pretty sad when even the America-hating wingers hired specifically to harass and harangue Biden and his press secretary have more self-respect and pride than the QAnon loons on a monger site.[/QUOTE]Proof will come soon on Hunter laptop. Criminals can't hide forever. Hunter day is coming.

Bet you don't. Typically pro Repub electioneering Mainstream Media never mentioned it when they were busy touting Trump's Great Repub Economy that never happened and continually asked why he didn't tout it more himself as though it was a "thing" during the 2020 campaign in order to help their precious Repubs win their election contests on that critical issue.

Business investments plummeted, Real GDP Growth came in at a paltry 2. 3%, down from an already lower than expected and pitched 2. 9% in 2018 and at an unnecessary whopping cost of $2. 5+ Trillion for USA taxpayers that didn't even buy anyone a gallon of gas, fears of a pending Recession, etc.

Mind you, 2019 was the "peak" Trump year when all of the positive economic trajectories he inherited from Obama-Biden had coasted to a halt like a Trump resort golf cart while he cheated on his score card, we'd already weathered Trump's first Bear Market Crash in the broad USA Stock Market at the end of 2018, all of his and his GOP's big tax cuts for nobody who needed it were fully in the system, all the supposedly business oppressive regulations were cut so they could make our air and water as filthy as they wanted in order to make wealthy corporate CEOs even wealthier while accomplishing nothing else and before Trump's "very stable genius" economic decision in 2018 to defund, disband and remove all of our Pandemic Prevention and Response teams from those Chinese labs had produced its fully and expertly predicted outcome for the world beginning by Happy Trump New Year 2020!

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2680163]To put your last sentence another way: "American-hating wingers on this board are dumber than the FUX "NewZ" hacks they love to quote.[/QUOTE]American left wing America haters are obviously dumber than Fox News. Everyone knows this. Biden and the democrats are counting on it. Biden needs democrats to be dumb just to maintain 37% approval ratings. But democrats are getting smarter and his ratings are going lower. It appears there are a few posters here like PVMonger that are still dumbfounded by Biden politics and aren't getting any smarter. Biden and DNC like their followers to be dumb. It worked in 2020 but it won't work in 2022 and 2024. Enough democrats are getting smarter.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2680038]There is no Democrat in America that wants war.[/QUOTE]Biden has been wanting to go to war from the day he stepped into office. You have not seen how much material he has been shipping around the world. Now it is the Dems dim witted strategy for winning in 2022 and 2024 because what else do you have?

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2680038]The only people who are praising Putin and his invasion of Ukraine are Republicans.[/QUOTE]Nope. TC has denounced from the beginning. He is just not a media shill spouting off Democratic talking points. Again, you are just lying.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2680038]Moreover, many Republicans call Biden "weak" for not doing more to stop the invasion in the first place.[/QUOTE]Having the president's son being involved in biolabs that can produce weapons is not provoking Russia? How about blaming Putin for your lame ass showing in 2016? And then there is the whole ridiculous Russiagate fiasco. And Ukrainegate which showed the world that Democrats and not the Ukrainians themselves were ruling Ukraine.

You guys poked the sleeping Russian bear, and you know it.

[QUOTE=Canada;2680071]Biden is a democrat. Biden financed Russia invasion of Ukraine by cancelling Keystone pipeline and approving Russia pipelines to Europe. Buying oil from a Russia rather than Canada proves Biden supports Russia and not Canada. Finally after Republicans pressed Biden to put sanctions back on Russia but we still are receiving oil from Russia. Biden buying oil from Iran and trying to reinstate the Iran agreement shows the world that he is financing Iran nuclear program. He is financing Aidan to send missiles at Israel and Saudi. Biden is promoting terrorism and war. Those are the facts.[/QUOTE]Great factual post, Canada!

PVM and Eih's MO is whenever something is good, it is due to the Democrats. Whenever anything is bad, blame Republicans. The fact that the pandemic is on Trump and not China is a classic point. The fact that their guy had more deaths than Trump also goes over their heads. On top of that, when you ask what could have been done now that we have so much more data, the answer is not much.

One place the NYT constantly cited as being great with Covid was South Korea. They took Covid seriously and tested the crap out of everyone and got great numbers early on. Thing is the only places that really did well with lockdowns were islands and South Korea may as well be one.

Of course, right now, South Korea has been hit harder than anywhere in the world and is #1 in cases in the world. It is omicron versus other strains so it is not as lethal but the population is heavily vaxxed so how come this happened? Well IMO it is because there is so little natural immunity.

With more viruses, the evolution is to more contagious but less virulent versions, however I have never heard anyone articulate that was South Korea's strategy. And if in fact Corona got more virulent, the model nation of South Korea would be having deaths right now on an unprecedented scale.

So in the end what South Korea proves is that all this bullshit babbling about Trump and Covid was political. Of all the countries in the world the liberal media picked for its deft handling of Covid, South Korea was its darling and look is what happening there now.

[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2680189]The left and the DNC is the new home of the pro war / pro Pentagon spending, neo cons of the Bush 43 crowd.

But honestly it really started with Bubba and Kosovo.

Look at Demetia Joes new defense budget.

Maybe Trump / Tulsi 2024?[/QUOTE]I asked you to back up your nonsensical claims with actual screen shots from the actual in-print NYT. What do you post in response? This nonsense.

[QUOTE=GDreams;2680220]Canada thinks everyone's attention span is as short as his. I have repeated knocked down your false narrative about Keystone so many times its not funny. The oil that Keystone was to transport is being railed in. Keystone has no impact on oil prices anywhere so it could not possibly fund Russia in any way, especially since it is doubtful it would be completed now as it was still being legally challenged. Since your hero Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal Iran has now enriched uranium to the point it could start manufacturing nuclear weapons. Trumps continued appeasement of Nth Korea clearly showed the world if you have a Nuke America goes to water. If Biden manages to rescue the Iran deal and unwind the enrichment it will stabilize the middle east and bring oil onto the market to offset Russian sanctions and keep the worlds economic engines turning. Thanks Biden for being so much smarter than your chump predecessor.[/QUOTE]The only people with a shorter attention span that Canada are Elvis, CaliGuy, Axe Hole and the rest of the rightwingnuts who post here. But we all knew that.

If the 2024 presidential election were held right now, the poll finds Trump getting 47 percent support compared to 41 percent for Biden.

Vice President Harris performs even worse in a hypothetical match-up with Trump. 49 percent said they would choose Trump, while 38 percent said they would support Harris.

Looks like a lot of people are waking up, but I am sure still there are stubborn people who don't want to admit their mistakes in 2020.

[QUOTE=Canada;2680230]You are absolutely correct. Gas was cheap with Trump in office and remained cheap through Covid but took a dramatic increase when Biden took office. Biden killing pipelines and drilling basically got us to $6 gas.[/QUOTE]Gas under Obama was cheaper than it ever was during the supposed presidency of the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy. What part of that statement are you too dumb to understand?

[QUOTE=Canada;2680232]Day of reckoning is coming for Hunter and Joe. The fake news is actually going to have to start reporting it soon. This is going to be fun to watch.[/QUOTE]Democrats won't hold their breath.

I won't hold my breath waiting for you to provide a list of "non fake news" web sites.

Thanks Biden for being so much smarter than your chump predecessor.[/QUOTE]Once again you are lying. Oil is being transported by rail but rail can only handle so much. When Biden cancelled Keystone pipeline he started buying 500,000 barrels of oil a day from Russia and 300,000 barrels a day from Iran. Russia used this windfall to attack Ukraine and Iran uses this money to build nuclear weapons and to do terror in the world. The Iran agreement did nothing to slow down Iran nuclear program. It just enhanced it. If Biden manages to reinstall the Iran deal it will be his biggest mistake of his presidency to date. Yes worse than Afghanistan and Ukraine. He will join Russia as the biggest supporter of terrorist in the world. Trump was not a hero. He was just smart enough to know that Iran is our enemy and smart enough to know that funding terrorists has deadly consequences. Obviously Biden and the dumb don't understand this.
