The truth is Biden has not created 1 job over the record jobs pre pandemic Trump. That is the truth and smart people won't believe your fake news.
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2672358]So, in your mind, the only logical way to defend and protect American democracy from Putin-loving, Commie talking points-reciting, Insurgency-praising, America-hating Repubs is to destroy American democracy and "win" by cheating?
And we're supposed to give credence to any opinion and judgement of you and your side? LOL.[/QUOTE]The democrats are supporting Biden who is destroying America. You are right. Democrats are skilled at cheating and they proved it. The only way to defend and protect democracy is to vote out the woke socialists in office today. And they will in November.
Let's see if all the Repub Senators who were perfectly happy to tell Putin he could do anything he wanted to do militarily against Ukraine and with their full blessing when they refused to convict Trump in his Impeachment for blackmailing Zelensky, delaying and denying him crutial anti Putin invasion military aid at the worst possible time will do the right thing now:

I assume some of those America-hating, pro-Putin Repub hypocrites will now have to pretend to be no different from pro-democracy Dems in this election year and grudgingly vote to help Ukraine fend off and fight Putin for a change.
That would be in stark contrast to that Repub Impeachment vote and their weak position on anti-Putin military aid to Ukraine going back to at least the week Putin / Trump ordered them to surgically remove that necessary support from their 2016 Republican Party platform.
Adjusted for inflation, the average cost of a gallon of gasoline in the USA has mostly hovered near or around $3 since the 1930's, Many times it was more than $4 per gallon. It was higher than $4 per gallon the year Obama was first elected POTUS:

To really cause some heads to explode, let's add a few more reality checks:
USA automobiles are far more fuel efficient today than ever before. They are quite a bit more fuel efficient today than they were in 2008.
Thanks, Obama-Biden.
With the Internet, we don't need to commute nearly as often or as far to do almost anything we need or want to do today. In many cases, that includes performing our job or running our business.
Thanks, Al Gore.
With millions more jobs having been created than there are applicants to take them and working Americans' wages growing demonstrably for the first time in decades in this roaring economy, Americans can afford to deal with Trump's Supply Chain Destruction Inflation and temporarily higher gas prices in order to defend democracy in the country Trump tried to blackmail into serving his desperate need to steal an election easier than ever before.
Thanks, Joe.
And now you know why the inflation hysteria that power hungry Repubs have been stoking has only served to terrify some weak-minded poll respondents but has done little or nothing to tamp down the shopping, buying, spending, recreating and, yes, driving their cars that the American people are doing with their money, continuing to expand Biden's roaring economy unabated.
Re my post: "Now, that makes sense. To a loon":

Well, I didn't exactly call you a loon. But if the shoe fits. You would know best about that, of course. Ok, I defer to your judgement on this one. I will now graciously agree with you this time; you are a loon.
[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2672509]Fake news at its best. Keep posting your communist propaganda. The truth is Biden has not created 1 job over the record jobs pre pandemic Trump. That is the truth and smart people won't believe your fake news.[/QUOTE]No, actually it is millions more than Trump's, Bush2's and Bush1's numbers combined.
Soon it will likely be more than Trump's, Bush2's, Bush1's and Reagan's numbers combined.
And then likely more than all the Repub so-called potus' numbers since 1860 combined.
Even though that isn't a very high bar for a Dem POTUS to exceed, given the extraordinarily horrific conditions Biden inherited from the outgoing Repub this time around, he will rank among the greatest if not the greatest economic steward America has ever been blessed to have at the helm.
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2672507]Surprise, surprise, surprise. It turns out Putin and "conservative" Repubs have the same political and economic goals.
Therefore, historically lazy Do Nothing, Deadbeat Repubs have for years been only too happy to simply recite Putin's talking points for it rather than put any work into it on their own:
[B]"Why are Republicans using Putins talking points? This study helps explain. - The Washington Post" [/B][URL]https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/02/04/why-are-republicans-using-putins-talking-points-this-study-helps-explain/[/URL].
I presume at least some of you wingers had no idea the words coming out of the mouths of Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and your Repub Representative and Senator originated in the Kremlin and are now horrified to discover how thoroughly you were scammed and suckered into doing the bidding for America's enemies in how you vote and so on.[/QUOTE]What "goals"? Here let me help you. Trump did not want Germany buying Russian gas and neither did I. Putin did, and Biden was fine with it.
Trump did not want the USA to be a net energy importer, and neither did I. Biden did and so did Putin.
Trump wanted lower oil prices as did I. Biden drove prices higher, and Putin loved that. And I guess you and your electric bike like higher gasoline prices too. That is the thing with you Dems you claim to be for the middle class while soaking them with higher energy prices.
I want the USA producing as much energy as it can, and Trump wanted that too. Biden does not. He is off making deal with Iran and Venezuela.
Trump told Germany to buy natural gas from us. He said that it was crazy that we are spending billions defending Europe, and Europe is turning around and giving Russia billions. Putin liked that and so did Biden.
And you want to talk about some fucking poll and "values"? Again, you and your Democratic buddies are fucking losing it.
"Once again, President Biden and his Minister of Propaganda, Jen Psaki, are misleading the American people. This time about oil production.
Mr. Biden and Ms. Psaki both say it is Putin who is most responsible for the rise in gas prices. The pair also put forth that the Biden administration is harvesting more oil than the Trump crew.
The sleight of hand is a comparison between the first year of both administrations. That doesn't matter because Trump grew oil production while Biden is shrinking it.
Here are the facts. When Donald Trump left office, the average price for a gallon of gas was around $2.50. After 13 months of Biden, the price had risen more than a dollar. And that was well before Putin's Ukraine invasion.
Under Trump in 2020, the US produced 18.4 million barrels of oil a day. During Biden's first year, the number was down to 16.6. That's about 2 million barrels a day less under Biden. Close to 800 million fewer barrels a year."
And what these morons failed to understand is that oil & petro-chemicals are used throughout the entire industrial / agricultural economy, therefore when the government reduces the production of oil and thus raises the price of oil, you get inflation and believe me we have inflation. And this double digit inflation is going to be very hard to control without causing a recession. The only piece of good news is that Biden and his wokes are washed up. A massive tsunami is heading their way in November and the Dems know it. Biden: the 3rd worst President in US history.
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2672314]Ok, I "won't reply" that with your tortured analysis that does not even factor in a moment of pain for the Russian people but has Europe getting screwed, the American people suffering in agony, Team Biden manipulating a huge loss for them into a fake "win" like their, apparently to you, phony spin that fully vaccinated people are not falling seriously ill and dying from Trump's Pandenic virus at probably greater percentages than ever before and certainly in greater percentages than unvaccinated people while "Russia", as in Putin, has the upper hand and Putin, as in Putin, will come out of this smelling like a rose no matter what, well, let's just say it has been duly noted which side you are on and who you are rooting for.[/QUOTE]My hat off to you for keeping it civil!
I don't foresee this war to go long, so we'll soon find out how things will settle.
Not sure what side you think I'm rooting for but I suspect is not the correct one. I'm rooting for freedom, opportunity and equality. The flag that'll drape my chariot on my way to six feet under will be Red, White and Blue alright but with Stars on it.
Rooting for one side or another does not mean you can't be critical. Antithesis removes blinders.
On the other hand (see what I did there?) if the muddy traveling waters get little more clear I should be in Chiang Mai next year. Haven't been to Pattaya since '96 even though I visited LOS six times since. I'm thinking of dropping by to see how things changed. If you like I'm buying a beer sans politics.
By the way coming off the pier to the right there was a bar called Merilyn's. The bar was a two story with the downstairs having a muai tai ring and upstairs ladies doing some talented acts. I know things there change by the hour but is it still there?
Enjoy!

I used to go there a few times per year in the early 90's and spent a weekend in Chiang Mai 3-4 years ago. Since retiring in Thailand I much prefer Bangkok.

No judge (even some of the idiots appointed by the Mange Mussolini) would touch these suits with a 10-foot pole. Yep, Democrats must be really smart and Republicans really stupid!
In fact, while the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy was whipping up his base of morons and idiots into thinking that there was election fraud, none of the base was smart enough to even look at the lawsuits. If they had, they would have found that exactly zero (that's zip, zilch, cero) of these suits even alleged fraud. Imagine that! Donnie was getting you to believe something that even he didn't believe. But, hey, that's his base. A bunch of whiney, aggrieved white guys who believe that a bunch of uneducated Mexicans are coming for their $200 per hour jobs. Even a third-grader should be able to understand the inconsistencies in that statement. Yet they don't.
So, yes, keep blathering about stolen elections, cheating, "fake news" and all of the rest. It is falling on deaf ears.

They all yearn for the days of $0.25 gas. But they forget that the behemoths of the 1960's got 10 or 12 mpg and you had to replace them every 3 or 4 years.
Today, most cars get upwards of 30 mpg and they last virtually forever.
But it is easier for them to yell "fake news" until FUX "News" tells them what to think.
