Seriously, some people just don't seem to get that. You'd have to put a gun to my head to get me to vote republican--a gun or tell me one redeeming quality any of those worthless fucks have. 

So Joey has done it again! 

Speaking to reporters today He said that Putin was losing the war with Iraq!!!

24 hours prior, Tuesday night, at a campaign fund raising event He referred to China when he meant India, whose prime minister, Narendra Modi, who visited 
the White House a week ago. 

Have said before, and saying it again. It’s a sad state of embarrassing affairs, when it seems likely that only a senile old man and narcissist lunatic are our likely candidates for POTUS.
Going to be our POTUS candidates.

I heard about that. Still don't care, not if the other choice is trump. trump will be the republican nominee and if he wins he will make himself king with the help of the republican party. They don't care about democracy and if you vote trump, you don't either.

In order to have that opinion you obviously haven't been paying attention OR you don't care.

The rational conclusion is that neither candidate is acceptable. It's not arguable given what's known about them. Partisans don't care because they aren't rational when it comes to politics. They're intellectually incapable of thinking outside the dichotomy in which American politics is framed. A textbook example of an unthinking mindset, and this is the primary purpose to which mass media is applied.

I don't think the average person has a clue as to what rationality and logic really are. "Rationality" means doing what you're been conditioned/socialized to do. What's normalized in a society is what's rational. In a polarized society you have two competing variants of normalcy, the adherents of which have been conditioned to view each other as the enemy. For them, politics consists entirely of supporting their party by opposing the other party, which is a texbook example of a vicious cycle. It ultimately goes nowhere. It's only function is to deplete the energy of the American electorate, while the foxes take care of business in the "henhouse". Ask a partisan why they participate in this madness and they'll tell you it's democracy.

No, I don't want to smoke any weed.

 I'm viewing that as a challenge.   

I'm just now noticing I posted twice up there. *sigh*

And you believe that???

Why even post such a ridiculous thing, it just makes you look like an idiot.

For the very same reason I post other controversial things, it promotes posting.

It's no more rediculous than believing Trump saved us from Covid, high gas prices, and making America look like a horses ass to the rest of the world.

Troll.

Gas prices were low during his tenure and do believe he had a part in that and he did have a big hand in getting a vaccine rolled out to poison the world.

all politicians are down with cooking the books, with the possible exception of Jimmy Carter, who I have a lot of respect for.

As for accurate stats, I used to go to shadowstats.com, which was a legit legit source for estimating things like inflation, GDP, unemployment, M3 after the Federal Reserve stopped publishing M3 date, which happened in 2008, I believe. No surprise there, given what was done after the housing market collapsed from being looted.

As for unemployment figures, people who give up looking for jobs are excluded, similar to how inflation figures are manipulated.

At this point in time the most reliable way to gauge the state of the economy from the perspective of ordinary people is to look for local data re homelessness. As best I can tell it's exploding, which tells me we're in a depression.

Well let’s start with reducing the debt by 1.7 trillion. It’s more like increasing it by 27 trillion. Where do you think the money for Ukraine and Covid stimulus checks that many people didn’t even need came from, Joe’s crackhead son’s ass?

Everything about that post.

We are to believe these statements, carte blanche, that "Bidenomics" was the direct cause for these claims . . . without any examples?

C'mon!

As an aside . . . what the fuck is "Bidenomics"?
