[QUOTE=Canada;2659626]Please explain if the economy is booming under Biden why hasn't it returned to Trump era economy. Still lagging 3% behind with businesses all reopening.

Please explain why less people are working today in Biden economy than in Trump pre pandemic economy.

Please explain why there wasn't inflation under Trump booming economy and Biden economy.

Please explain why Biden cancelled pipelines and cut oil production with his booming economy.[/QUOTE]Pre Trump's Pandemic? Why count anything regarding Trump "Pre Trump's Pandemic"? His Pandemic was the result of economic decisions made by him.

Why did Trump's economy lag Obama-Biden's economy by millions upon millions of jobs?

Why did Bush2's economy lag Clintons economy by millions upon millions of jobs?

Why did Trump's, Bush2's and Bush1's combined economies lag Biden's economy by millions upon millions of job?

Why did Hoover's, Eisenhower's, Nixon / Ford's, Reagan's, Bush1's, Bush2's and Trump's combined economies lag FDR's, Truman's, JFK / LBJ's, Carter's, Clinton's, Obama's and Biden's combined economies by millions upon millions upon millions of jobs?

You don't get inflation during Great Repub Recessions with measly to zero jobs creation and as brought to the world by Trump, a year of economic paralysis. But you will during Great Dem Recoveries when millions upon millions of jobs are being created in record time, wages are rising and the economy is coming out of its Trump coma with pent up need and desire to buy and travel again.

Pence is just another spineless, America-hating, Trump cultist who would have made every disastrous decision Trump made had he been president.[/QUOTE]But my last two republican heroes (well, they didn't make me throw-up) were Jack Kemp and (mostly pre-2008) John McCain.

And they're both dead!

[QUOTE=Canada;2659630]Please explain. There were more people traveling in pre pandemic world in Trump presidency than today. Oil was $40 a barrel. Now $92. Biden cancels pipelines. Stops drilling permits on federal land. Reduces USA oil production from 12.2 million barrels a day to 11 million. Forces USA to buy more oil from OPEC and Russia. Yes Russia. Creates a shortage of domestic oil. OPEC raises prices because of USA shortages. Biden Begs OPEC to sell more oil to USA and OPEC raises prices again. 2021 oil companies stopped exploration. Biden is totally to blame. He created a shortage and now OPEC is taking advantage of it like they have in the past.[/QUOTE]I have tried to explain numerous times. The fact the you are too thick-skulled to understand isn't my problem. But, then again, I'd have better luck trying to explain it to my dog. He isn't as thick-skulled. By a huge margin.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2659680][B]Capitol Riot Defendant Seeks Subpoena For Trump, Says He 'Directed' Him To Storm Capitol[/B]

"A defendant in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the USA Capitol has filed a court brief calling for Donald Trump to be subpoenaed to testify because the accused claims the former president "directed" him and others to storm the Capitol as part of a deceptive plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

"It will be established at trial that Mr. Trump and his conspirators engaged in a concerted effort to deceive the public, including Defendant, into believing that American democracy was at stake if Congress was permitted to certify the election," according to the court filing Friday on behalf of Ohio resident Dustin Thompson.

"Defendant submits that the testimony of Mr. Trump and his conspirators will establish that they were determined, by any means necessary, to prevent Congress from fulfilling its constitutional mandate to certify the election results," states the filing in the USA District Court for the District of Columbia.

"In order to accomplish that goal, the conspirators Defendant now seeks to subpoena engaged in a concerted effort to organize, encourage, and direct rally participants to storm the Capitol, enter the grounds, 'fight like hell,' and 'engage in trial by combat," the brief added.

It was all part of a "carefully crafted plot" to call into question the integrity of the 2020 presidential election, according to the filing..[/QUOTE]The January 6th committee has already interviewed 675 individuals that voluntarily gave direct testimony.

This Trump thug could find hundreds of helpful witnesses for his case if he stopped looking in all the wrong places.

Trump thugs, like the ones on this site, are stupid.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2659680]The demand to subpoena Trump faces an uphill battle but is broadening the debate about the former president's role at the center of the Jan. 6 attack on Congress.

Trump could not be reached for comment."[/QUOTE]The typical right-wingnut that often posts in this thread might give the following reply to your post:

I'm sure president Trump would be wiling to give voluntary testimony at Dustin Thompson's trial next month.

But he probably will save some time by simply pardoning him right after the reelection in 2024.

Doing a rough addition and subtraction by sight, it turns out just the Clinton and Obama economies produced as many if not more USA jobs than the combined economies of all 9 Repub presidents of the past 100 years!

[URL]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobs_created_during_U.S._presidential_terms[/URL]

That's right, just 2 Dems beat all 9 Repubs in a century of presidential administrations.

A reminder; the Baby Boom generation of working age Americans peaked during the course of two of those Repub administrations, starting at the beginning of Reagan's presidency, they began retiring at a rate of 10,000 per day starting at the beginning of the Obama administration and are continuing to retire in huge numbers today.

Yet, Biden's economy alone has already in its first year produced about 20% of the total number jobs of all the Repub presidents combined since 1922. At that rate he could easily surpass those of all the Repub presidents combined by the end of the first year of his second term!

One single question:

Do you agree or disagree with giving blanket pardons to all +700 criminally charged defendants from the January 6th insurrection?

I know which way over 90% of you would vote.

Just sayin.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2659627]And every time you post, you show that you have absolutely no idea whatsoever what the term "fascist" means. [/QUOTE]You are fooling yourself with the sophistry that Fascism is strictly a right-wing authoritative, coercive, nationalistic system of government, e. G. National Socialism, and the term can not be used to describe a left-wing authoritative, coercive, nationalistic system of government, e. G. Communism. But the extreme Left, Marxism, is essentially the same thing as the extreme right, Fascism. Under both systems there is no individual freedom and you do as your are told or it is prison or death. So tell me what the functional difference between Hitler (responsible for 11 mil dead) and Mao (responsible for 40 to 80 mil dead) was. Hitler started more wars and had a thing for the Jews, but Mao killed and enslaved more people. Or tell me the difference between Mussolini and Pol Pot or Franco and Maduro, or Franco and the Castro brothers. The only functional difference I see is that Marxists are usually better organized than Fascists.

The fundamental difference between you and me is I love freedom and hate all forms of totalitarian rule while you only hate right wing totalitarian regimes. In fact, you are so Marxist radical (Fascist) that you even hate moderate or right of center democratic forms of government that support free speech and the right to own property. You hate any form of government that is not avowedly socialist and / or Marxist. And you call anyone who disagrees with the Woke Party dogma a Fascist and Racist. Ha! Like I said earlier, you are a bad joke because you are the Racist, Fascist among us.

Let's Go Brandon!

Trump is shitloads slimier than Pence.

[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2659408]Yes I went to school from kindergarten to 12. My schools had the highest standards in San Diego county. My parents didn't have to pay for my education. I went to college on an academic scholarship. I paid my way through school by working while I was attending and did not have any student loans. Unlike you I have a degree and a masters and I am compensated very well at my job at a top USA financial company. With your great school in San Diego did you get an academic scholarship? Did you make a 6 figure salary coming out of college? I wouldn't trade my life with you or anybody.[/QUOTE]For someone with adequate reading comprehension, as you claim to have.

Where the fuck did I write that I went to school in San Diego?

Show me where someone didn't waste tuition money on you!

[QUOTE=Canada;2659626]Please explain why less people are working today in Biden economy than in Trump pre pandemic economy.[/QUOTE]I don't understand why you would have trouble answering your own question. But I will give it a go.

TrumpShit performed the worst management of the United States in a single year of presidency ever in the final year of his single (twice impeached) term.

He thoroughly and completely mismanaged the nations' response to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Which turned into a pandemic in TrumpShit's final year, eliminating, I think, more than six million jobs.

After one year in office, Joe Biden had the greatest single year of job growth recorded in recent or all years.

But he didn't get back all the millions of jobs TrumpShit killed in 2020.

Simple answer really.

But you couldn't figure it out Canada?

But republican politicians have their supporters (like those that post here) suckered into believing untruths on this issue.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2659210]During the January 6th insurrection rioting there were 140 police officer injured.

Which specific BLM protest had more than a dozen officers injured?

I think there was no BLM protest even come close.

In all the BLM protests of years 2020 and 2021 combined, how many police officers were injured?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Canada;2659346]Please show proof from a real news site that shows 140 officers hurt. Or I will just assume you made this up like the rest if your fabricated posts.[/QUOTE]Are you serious Canada?

Are the sources you rely on for genuine news so narrow that you missed the Police Unions statements that were made in late January 2021?

The Police unions reported that 81 Capital Police Officers were assaulted and injured during the siege of the Capital. According to the Police Officer's Union an additional 65 District of Columbia Police Officers were also injured in the rioting that occurred outside and inside our Capital on January 6th. Other LE agencies also experienced and reported some injuries to their officers.

In Mainstream media I recall this being verified and being one of the most covered news stories in early February 2021. My guess is this was verified and covered by thousands of traditional news agencies.

Yet it is a surprise to you Canada?

What did you do Canada during the month of February 2021 other than read a short stack of Archies Comics?

It did not matter if it was a Republicans President or a doctor in a communist country. Every country lost jobs. Not because of their leader but because the Chinese pandemic killed every country in the world economy. Because 2/3 of the people went to work world wide it was not because of their leader. Biden has done nothing and two thirds of the people returned to their jobs. Simple.

Can you understand when USA production goes down that OPEC is going to take advantage of us.

It does not matter what commodity if there is a shortage prices go up.

That is why we have to drill our way out of this.
