Scumbag Biden and the DNC are taking their cues from
Bangladesh and Pakistan.

They are trying to turn us into a 3rd world shithole, just look at the southern border.
Elvis doesn't disappoint.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2892741]Oh, I see. If Ukraine wins, it is because of Democrats. If it loses, it is due to Republicans. This is what I mean about being a Democratic douche.
So the interview had not even happened, but the NY Times called it "friendly". This is the paper that likes to call itself the paper of record literally being douche like and commenting on something that had not even happened as fact.
And if you are a Democratic douche, you do not need to see this interview. You do not need to listen to Putin. We will tell you what to think about Putin. You are a MAGA POS loser if you actually listen to Putin and make up your own mind about what he said. You can ignore the whole thing because it is "friendly". It is propaganda. We the NYT will tell you what to think.
Of course, I watched the interview. Tucker brought up Nordstream and who Putin thought blew it up. He did not say. He said look at who is capable and who said they would. Of course, he meant the USA. He then said of Germany that it is paying through the nose for LNG versus getting gas from Russia. The economic sanctions that were supposed to be so effective have hurt Germany more than Russia and Russia has overtaken Germany as Europe's largest economy.

Then of course, there was the dollar, the basis for American power. Putin cannot believe that the dollar, the cornerstone of American power, is being tossed away. He said Russia has gone from doing 50% of its transactions in dollars to 13%. For those of us who understand economics, we want there always to be a high demand for the dollar. Putin is asking why are you messing with that demand.
What I see is Americans losing. I see Germans losing. I see Russians losing. I see Ukrainians losing. The only winners I see are neocons and the American military industrial complex. They have won and are winning. And they are trying to convince everyone that victory over Russia, whatever that means, is worth the price, any price, so they can keep on winning.[/QUOTE]Here we are again. All over the place as always with your pointless ramblings, deflecting from a very simple fact.
Right-wing Republicans, just like their lord and savior, love sucking Putin's dick. Nothing else would explain why they hate Ukraine so much.
That's the main reason why the wingers-hijacked House won't give money to Ukraine.
The second reason is also quite simple: When their lord and savior tells them to jump, they jump as high as they can and never ask any questions.
The third reason: It's in their DNA to sabotage Dems, the less sense it makes -- the better.
The end.
Trumpian Backwater Economics for Dummies...

(...kkkk!) Oh please, spare me your backwater economics!
Ahh, last I checked, ELVIS 2008, you still hadn't simply [i]"stuck your head out the window"[/i], and taken a good hard look, at how strong and resilient, President Joe Biden's economy has been, like I metaphorically (and somewhat perhaps literally in your case) said you should.
But instead it would seem, [b]you still have your head up your ass.[/b] No doubt still pining, hoping and praying for a RECESSION/DEPRESSION, just like your feckless "Loud and Save-ur-Dumbass".
So forgive me if I take issue with ANY Trumpian DUMBASS BULLSHIT economics, you maybe shoveling, today, or any other day!
[i]"For those of us who understand economics"[/i]...indeed! [b](...kkkk!)[/b]
Biden's GREAT ECONOMY...as "Trumpian" economics ties to take credit
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2893468]What does Trump have to do with any of this? Oh right. You cannot post anything without blaming him for all the world's ills. Classic TDS.[/QUOTE]
(...kkkk!) Yeah...Dude, me using, "Trumpian" as an adjective to describe your gulag economics, should have told you all you need to know. But since you're the one bringing up [b]Trump, for the world's ills,[/b] you maybe on to something? Stick with it, I'd love to hear more!
Truth be told, though, there are an awful lot right-wing Trump copycats, crawled out from under their rocks, as of late. Or is this just the latest crop of right-wing fascist dictators, in this era of history, to come out and inflict their brand of benevolence on the world?
Elvis 2008, when your "wanna be dictator", Trump, interjects himself, into the economic discussion, and tries to take credit for President Joe Biden's GREAT ECONOMY, perhaps you it's you suffering from TDS?
But not to worry, Elvis 2008, as President Joe Biden, has reduced the cost of SENIOR health care prescription drugs for YOU and millions of other senior Americans. In addition to a GREAT ECONOMY, Biden has improved access and reduced costs to ACA for millions of Americas, like yourself who maybe suffering from TDS? So fear not!
Biden's Affordable Care Act (ACA) Accomplishments:
• A record number 20 Million join ACA. 8 Million Americas have signed up for ACA during the Biden's term, the largest expansion of healthcare ever.
• Biden's Continued Investment in ACA, has made healthcare really affordable and lowered costs
• Under Biden, 80% (or 4/5) Americans can get healthcare insurance for as little as $10/month
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2893468]Have you ever been to a country where there is zero demand for the currency? [b][u]It is not pretty.[/u][/b][/QUOTE]
Even if I have, they still took US dollars. So what's your point? Are you suggesting that the USA, under "Trumpian" economics is going have zero demand for its currency? If so, you maybe right!
BTW, have you ever been to a country that had zero demand for it's currency, where the country has been bombed to bits, become a virtual war zone and has very little in the way of an actual economy? [i][b]It is not pretty![/b][/i]
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2893468]John Oliver had a hilarious video on Chuck E Cheese here. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v6y2pY1pZ0.[/URL] he was going to do it on home owners associations and then changed his mind saying, "If you are under 35, you will never, ever, ever be able to afford house. " which is totally true.
So yeah, if you are in the stock market or own a house, then fuck yeah, Biden has been great. The rich have gotten richer. If not, you are getting your ass kicked. Housing prices are up 45% since Biden took office.
The economy is okay. It is not great. If it were great, and I went to a popular strip club on a Saturday night, it would be loaded with men spending money versus being totally empty. Women are the ultimate luxury good.
For every GDP and unemployment number you pull out of your ass, I can show you consumer credit card debt, interest payments on federal debt, and the exploding amount of federal debt. You seem to be missing the part where having a great life while maxing out your credit cards is not going to end well.
In 1999/2000, the men were six deep in line trying to get dances from the hottest dancers in strip clubs and the talk was complete elimination of the debt. To compare those days to these is a fucking joke. If you are Tooms, it was all Clinton and the Republicans in Congress had nothing to do with those boom times.
But as usual, I see both points of view while you are the one with your head firmly up your ass.
You seem to not know anyone under the age of 35 Spidy. I guess you like your MILFs. Well, here is another video where there is discussion of the benefits of young people continue to live with their parents: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31B6wzlzcOc[/URL].
Ah yes, that is such a sign of a strong economy.[/QUOTE]
Okay, Elvis 2008...those stories, I must say, were a lovely regalement of assortment of tales from your "Trumpian" economic crypt. Yes very entertaining, while yet, [b]not one thing[/b] mentioned w/r to anything Repubs have done to help, said Americans.
Careful now, in addition to [b]TDS,[/b] YOU may also suffer from [b]CRS![/b] (...kkkk! aka. "Chip Roy Syndrome")
Elvis 2008, just reminder, to tell those under 35 year of age that you frequently run into (as I often do), that as soon as, the Repubs get-out-the-way and stop impeding their economic success, with things like book-bans, abortion bans, student forgiveness loans and tax breaks for rich wealthy billionaires/corporate donors and bi-partisan bills that address and prevent corporate rental/housing greed from unfairly buying up huge chunks of family housing and then raising rent (and home ownership) to absurd levels of inequality for Americans seeking home ownership...the better off they'll be.
Yes, [b]despite[/b] the efforts of Repubs to derail, thwart and impede [i](and often [u]try to take credit[/u] for)[/i], the good and sometimes better than good fortunes of Americans, it is still yet a strong, vibrant and resilient Biden economy.
[b]But I shudder to imagine[/b], given those very same tales of supposed "Biden economic woes" you present, would have be like under a Repub "Trumpian" 2020 administration. Naturally Americas would be in:[LIST] [b][Quote courtesy of EihTooms][/b] [i]"One of those Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions, Massive Repub Jobs Destruction and Mysterious, Mystical Great Repub 'Once in a Hundred Years' Repeatedly Wild Coincidence Repub Disasters along with the inevitable and unavoidable Recovery Inflation."[/i][/LIST]So to use your own words, w/r to if we were currently in a Repub lead economy, [i][b]"It is not pretty!"[/b][/i] nor [i][b]"Would it be pretty!"[/b][/i]
LISTEN carefully now, padawan Jedi...
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2893468]Spidy, do you live in the USA? Or are you like Tooms lecturing us about how things are in the USA from thousands of miles away? [/QUOTE]
Elvis 2008,
In a Trumpian world, laced with right-wing toxicity, doxxing, threats of terror, harm and violence, forgive me if I answer with caution and tell you to...[b]assume and image whatever[/b] pleases that right-winger "Trumpian" heart of yours.
But [b]hey Elvis 2008[/b], what I can tell you and I'll let you in on a little secret (and impart a little Jedi wisdom, from what someone once told me) ...it is THIS:[LIST][i]"If you're [U]patient[/u] enough, [u]quiet[/u] enough, and really, really, really LISTEN carefully enough!...[b]people will often tell you who they are, [u]without you asking![/u]"[/b][/i][/LIST]
Wait...[b]just be patient[/b], my "Trumpian" conservative padawan! (...kkkk!)
Trump and his fellow classic Repubs love Open Borders everywhere in the world
[QUOTE=Xpartan;2893735]Here is your answer.
[B]Trumps threat to NATO allies draws little condemnation from GOP, reflecting his grip on the party[/B]
It's easy. He remarked once that his disciples wouldn't care if he shot someone on Times Square (and he was right). So why would they flinch now? Their lord and savior simply can't do wrong.
Politicians are another matter. To them it's about survival, nothing more.
[URL]https://apnews.com/article/trump-nato-presidential-election-congress-republicans-20e902788e8701999ce0424f73d478cc[/URL][/QUOTE]Trump, ChristoFascist Mike and their fellow classic Repubs have not only finally proven to the people of America that they are 100% in favor of Open Borders for America as witnessed by their killing the strictest, most "conservative", bi-partisan Immigration Reform bill ever handed to them, but they are also proving to the world they are 100% in favor of ENCOURAGING lawless aggressors to cross borders everywhere on the planet to "do whatever the hell they want"!
And don't think for one minute Trump's public message to Vladimir Putin regarding invading any NATO member country he damn well pleases with his full and dutiful consent does not include the NATO country member known at least up to now as The United States of America.
Trump's hatred for America, democracy, national sovereignty and border security at home and abroad knows no bounds and has been revealed for all the world to see.
Dems continue to way over perform their poll numbers vs Repubs and win elections, now even when classic phony Repub outrage issues such as Immigration and Border Control are the top concerns of the electorate. And understandably so.
