  1. You cherry picked data from the midst of the Covid pandemic. Unemployment skyrocketed throughout Trump’s reign during this period, and government deficit spending was MASSIVE and interest rates were held to near zero. None of those things are useful for economic growth. Biden comes in, people get back to work, we now have a massively higher deficit, inflation rages worldwide and is lowest in the US, interest rates climb, deficits cut 50%. Biden is doing all of the responsible management he can do. Meanwhile, the GOP has prevented every person in the entire military from getting any promotions. Yeah. Great solutions for America, GOP.
  2. Jack Smith has worked for the US Justice Department as a prosecutor of politicians for a very long time. He has prosecuted both Democrats and Republicans, including against Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell (GOP), U.S. Representative Rick Renzi (GOP), New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (Dem), and Presidential candidate John Edwards (Dem). Donald Trump is going to prison.
  3. The Southern States started the Civil War. Nearly all of them seceded by issuing proclamations or declarations of secession and war from their state legislatures, and all of them stated that slavery was the issue and several them very directly stated that slavery was THE issue. Mississippi: “In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course. Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery.” All the confederate states said they were leaving the Union because of slavery. It’s a simple fact. You can read the full declarations here. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declaration-causes-seceding-states#virginia
  4. You are misinformed. The entire EU, the World Bank and the IMF wanted that prosecutor fired for corruption. It’s been well documented. The World Bank was also holding up $1 billion in loan guarantees over this prosecutor.
  5. Our country enslaved black people, fought a bloody war to end it, then spent a century and a half legally mistreating black people. They were denied education, jobs, bank loans, housing, restaurant tables, hotel rooms, justice, and more. I get that there are white people who want to pretend we can wave a wand and eliminate all of the vestiges of that. And they watch videos of police officers murdering black people and they say, “He should have just cooperated with the police.” And when black people propose teaching school children about the history of racism in America, so they can understand, white people reach by calling it the single greatest threat facing America. So, yeah, America has a race problem.
  6. Trump himself told a Fox News journalist that he was just showing this person newspaper clippings at the time. Oh! Fox News is a deep fake too! Everything is a Deep Fake! Or, maybe a witness will come to court and state under penalty of perjury that he or she made the recording and that is what was said.
  7. Similarities? No evidence was ever found indicating that either man was guilty of any wrongdoing. Harding appointed some corrupt people, but there was never evidence that he was complicit. He most likely was not.
  8. Good grief. ” JULY 10, 2020, 1:48 PM In the last three years, the Trump administration has fractured the United States’ relationship with its European partners. The most recent manifestation of this was the sudden decision to remove 9,500 U.S. troops from Germany by September, a move that sent shockwaves through NATO. But this is just one of many instances in which the United States has shown disregard for the wishes and concerns of European partners. Despite international pushback, Washington withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 2019 and this May announced its intentions to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty. After the bombshell revelations from former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s book, European fears of American abandonment seem more probable than ever. This includes the possibility of being trapped by the often quixotic foreign-policy decisions emanating from Washington. For example, the abrupt decision last fall to remove U.S. Special Forces from northern Syria both disheartened Kurdish forces and also caught Europe off guard. In light of this, trans-Atlantic partners are walking on eggshells with the Trump administration. But this excessive caution has serious negative consequences, as reluctance to push the United States to uphold the structures that are the backbone of European security could ultimately undermine its position and weaken the trans-Atlantic alliance. Europe should leverage American domestic support for the alliance by working with congressional leaders to secure long-term cooperation.“ https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/07/10/trump-europe-nato-transatlantic-push-back/
  9. Every politician in the world knew he had to suck up to Trump’s ego. And stay at his stupid overpriced hotel.
  10. TBH, nominating Trump is the best hope that Biden and the Democrats have of winning. The only problem is that if Trump somehow wins, it would be disaster for American democracy and the world. It would be savagely disastrous for the Ukrainian people.
  11. We would all love to live in a colorblind society, but we don’t. Black people are still victimized by institutionalized racism.
  12. Biden built on the foundations of the rubble Trump left of our relationship with NATO, that’s for sure. Biden got all of NATO behind expensive sanctions against Russia, weapons shipments and Sweden’s entry into NATO. Biden also passed over $100 billion to move semiconductor manufacturing back to the USA, which makes us stronger and safer. He passed and implemented strong electric car and alternative energy incentives. Billions for rural high speed internet access. And on and on, all things that Trump did not do.
  13. Often Wrong again. https://www.whitehouse.gov/build-back-better/
  14. Aww… poor snowflakey Trumpsters!! “The political network established by the conservative industrialists Charles and David Koch has raised more than $70 million for political races as it looks to help Republicans move past Donald J. Trump... The Koch network’s goal in the 2024 presidential primaries, which has been described only indirectly in written internal communications, is to stop Mr. Trump from winning the Republican nomination.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/29/us/politics/koch-network-trump-2024.html $70 million is chump change to these guys. They spent $500 million on the 2020 election.
  15. Yes it is. Unemployed is bad. It sucks.
  16. Biden took over on Jan 20, 2021. Covid pandemic was declared over on May 11, 2023
  17. How is Harvard depriving anyone the equal protection of laws? What law did Harvard violate? If Muslims want to attend a Christian university such as Liberty, they have to be accepted equally, correct?
  18. A “smoking gun” is a slang term which refers to a key piece of incontrovertible, incriminating evidence. In the documents case, the documents themselves are the “smoking gun.” As to the audio tape: Trump said that he declassified the documents. That was not convincing to me, under the law, but it apparently convinced YOU. Now he is on tape stating very clearly that he had Classified information which was still classified and he could have declassified it as President but he did not. So when he defended himself by claiming he declassified the documents, CLEARLY he was lying because he said so. It is mind-boggling that anyone in the US still believes this criminal. But there is just one other thing about this tape: He was in New Jersey when he made that tape. It’s a New Jersey crime, not a Florida crime. So if the Trump-appointed judge in Florida goes crazy again, Smith has this evidence which he can file in New Jersey. So it’s more like the smoking second barrel of a shotgun.
  19. No you don't. Not very often. Your idea of "fact" is an opinion piece from NewsMax... because you don't seem to understand the difference between face and opinion.
  20. Trump lost election-related cases before judges that he appointed. Are you saying that Trump appointed "woketards" to Federal Courts and the Supreme Court?
  21. So deficits ONLY cause inflation if a Democrat is President, and otherwise, like magic, they magically don’t?
  22. BS. Read the OP. In it, I point out that under President Joe Biden, America has experienced 16 consecutive months of sub-4% unemployment. One of your butt buddies claimed that Trump’s all-time lowest unemployment month was lower than Biden’s, and I showed that no, it was not. So it’s your butt buddy who got egg on his face for trying to twist the numbers around. What did Biden do? He passed a recovery act which has been implemented competently and effectively, and it got businesses to invest in US production and jobs. That’s what. Actual measurable facts and results.
  23. I see. You're carefully ensuring that you listen only to the people who tell you the lies you want to hear.
  24. Sadly, the 71 criminal-felony indicted fool is the GOP’s Great Orange Hope.
