[QUOTE=EatALotOpus;2666386]Under Trump I was not muzzled up whenever I went to the store or anywhere else. Still am now. I moved around free without worrying about neighborhood takeovers or getting suckered punched.

My groceries then cost much less that it cost now which they blame on the supply chain and have not done anything about for the last year. Yes I heard the argument about the "It's the meat packers fault" and to debunk it, the same four major meat packers that exist now were the same four supplying us when Trump was president.

I'm Done.

Keep on mongering![/QUOTE]Inflation is only going to get worse with Biden doing nothing to stop Russia from invading Ukraine. Expect inflation to go up another 50% with this incompetent president.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2666332]However, to add to my previous post substantiation that, guess what, the rapid emergency vaccine production apparatus conceived and promoted by the Obama-Biden Administration at least a decade before Trump's disastrous decisions, cowardice and lies plunged the world into Trump's Pandemic, every variant that followed and all of the consequent deaths, economic destruction, massive job losses, international supply chain collapse and inflation is in fact what Trump simply "branded" and stupidly named Project Warp Speed and he otherwise had absolutely nothing to do with it, there is this:

Guess what, it was also the Obama-Biden Administration that promoted and funded the effective coronavirus vaccine research studies that so well positioned companies like Moderna to quickly produce the successful vaccines that were required to be invented and mass produced at emergency speed due to Trump's disastrous decisions, cowardice and lies creating Trump's Pandemic to begin with and, most disastrously, that he spent nearly that first critical year insisting no one needed to bother inventing or taking a vaccine..[/QUOTE]Yeah, the vaccines are great, aren't they? Have you gotten your fourth dose yet?

He definitely got inside many peoples' skin with the mean tweets (some of which even I don't agree with), but in the more important areas from Economy to World Peace, he was the most balanced POTUS I have seen in my adult life. He kept wall street / main street balance in check, as well as kept Russia / China / North Korea in check with his weird but effective diplomacy. He didn't know much about how to deal with Covid, but followed reasonable advices from the scientists and pushed for what's practical as opposed to being power hungry and curbing citizens' freedom. Also the only POTUS, like a true leader, didn't take a dime of tax payers' money given to him as salary, neither charging million dollars post-POTUS to speak at seminars like Obama and Clinton does.

Yes, keep on mongering!

[QUOTE=Gino02;2666211]Biden at his (or should we say "it's") best!

[URL]https://news.yahoo.com/why-biden-now-less-popular-100037176.html[/URL]

This is from USA Today / Yahoo. I could refer some more informative Fox news, OAN or Newsmax article / video, but libtards will say that's biased even without trying to learn the facts. That said, good news is that liberals with some brains left, and a lot of independents with learning and thinking capacity are now accepting that voting for Biden was a mistake, much worse than avoiding the mean tweets.[/QUOTE]Let me get this straight. At this point in his presidency Trump's RCP Job Approval Rating was 41.4% and his Job Disapproval Rating was 53%. And that was after a year of passing absolutely no significant legislation except the one that had not taken effect yet and all he did was coast on the Obama-Biden economy and national security he inherited.

That being of steadily declining Unemployment Rate, one of the best Jobs Creation presidencies of all time, no Great Recessions, no Bear Market Crashes, no "Obama Pandemic" wiping out hundreds of thousands of American lives and millions upon millions of jobs, no worldwide supply chain collapse, no forced closures of schools, restaurants, malls, recreation venues and businesses, no total surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan on their terms and timeline to deal with, no previous president having spent 4 years siding with Putin and other enemies of democracy over the USA, no preceding president leading the charge on overthrowing American democracy and overturning free and fair elections, etc as he took office and into his first year and so on.

Really, nothing for Trump to do, no crisis to deal with, no serious problems to solve until at least this time in his presidency except to decide where play golf this week and to think up insulting names for his critics. Therefore, that's all he did.

And this despite the fact that RCP leans heavily on Repub over-sampling polling services like Rasmussen, Trafalgar and Emerson for their consensus Job Approval figures, as they do today.

Wow. Poor Joe. Such a disappointment after 1 whole year and a month in office.

BTW, since that opinion piece was posted, Biden's RCP Job Approval Rating is now as of this writing at 41.4% and his Job Disapproval Rating is 52.9%. So unless Trump's got better four days later it looks like Joe is beating him again.

White House is threatening sanctions. I wonder if Biden is going to sanction the 844,000 barrels per day of heavy crude from Russia. Thus driving oil prices higher. Isn't it great that we are depending on Russia for heavy oil instead of the horrible country up north? Canada. Wouldn't it be nice if that oil was coming on Keystone Pipeline instead of Biden's buddy Putin?

Mask mandates were started under the Trump Administration. Also, snowflake, if little kids can wear a mask to protect the elderly and immunocompromised, you can too.

Violent crime dramatically increased in 2020 under Trump. And if you're that scared to walk around without get sucker punched, maybe you're the problem. I don't seem to have those issues or concerns.

Finally, what did you (or anyone else) think would happen when billions of stimulus dollars were pumped into the economy (under Trump) in 2020. Any person with a basic understanding of economics (obviously not you) would know that this would cause inflationary pressure on the economy. It's just the alternative (recession) was much worse. So either you were deluding yourself that inflation wouldn't occur or you're spouting nonsense, or both.

I must say. While I appreciate the humor of this thread, it's absolutely useless. It's like playing whack-a-mole with Trump Republicans. You can't win because even when you point out the lunacy of their arguments (I. E. Election fraud) they just disagree with basic facts or make stuff up. I can't have a discussion with someone who isn't reasonable.

Fortunately most people are smart enough to decide for themselves how their life should be lived. We are in a free nation. No dictator yet although socialists want one.

Is he Crazy Or Just Plain Stupid?

Four weeks ago, there were 58,000 new COVID cases per day in Canada. 2 days ago, there were 3,000. So with Omicron on the verge of defeat with solid evidence showing that Canadians are more or less protected against its spread, ie 78% of the population is vaccinated and 74% double-vaccinated not to mention millions who have had the disease and thus have a natural immunity; PM Justin "Look at me, I'm a girly man" Trudeau decides to tear his country apart in order to enforce vaccine and mask mandates in order to look decisive by dealing with a disease that is in full retreat! What a great example of pure Woke leadership in action.

Meanwhile, don't get me started on President "I like Vanilla Ice Cream before I take a nap" and Putin over the Ukraine. They got the sexiest girls on the planet in the Ukraine. No wonder Putin wants it. I wish I had gone there in the late 90's.

Biden is beating Trump on inflation. Trump inflation was only 1%. Biden is nearing 10%. Biden is beating Trump on gas prices by over 50%. Let's go Brandon.

[/QUOTE]Let's not forget Trump's $2 trillion of completely unnecessary tax cuts to the mega-rich, the cuts that will be biting us in the ass until at least 2028. A $2 trillion unconditional gift that did absolutely nothing for the economy.

Thankfully, only rarely does a loony Repub mole whack himself so badly in that latter way that he gives up and grandly announces his empty noggin can't take anymore of the beating and he has decided to put the people who make him do it on "Ignore."

A rabid Trumpster and Dem hater fellow Thailand punter I know who lives in Texas sent me an email complaining that rents have gone up 40%+ in Austin "primarily because Tesla moved there from California"!

No bullshit mention of it having anything to do with Biden. I was impressed.

This prediction from late last year came true with a vengeance:

"Tesla's moving to Austin, Texas, for cheap housing and could come up short for would-be employees. MarketWatch" [URL]https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/tesla-is-moving-from-california-to-austin-where-house-prices-surged-45-over-the-last-year-11633708786[/URL].

[QUOTE]The pandemic-era move from California to other parts of the country has inflated home prices in the smaller markets, creating new housing crunches in the process.[/QUOTE]Of course, I had just replied to his inquiries about rising prices in Bangkok due to worldwide inflation pressures that, sure enough, many breakfast deals, restaurant prices etc have gone up 30% here and there, items in 7-11 going up noticeably and so on. So maybe he rightfully understood it would sound stupid for him to blame Biden for that, too.

It is a special Trumpster and Dem hater who stops himself from asserting something even he knows sounds stupid.

In the meantime, they're rubbing their hands together at the thought of how to eventually get control of Russia's natural resources.

So much for American foreign policy being run for American citizens.
