Remind me again, which presidential candidate has offspring that collected money from a Russian Oligarch that just happened to be exempted from sanctions?

Those aren't credible? So I assume you have information that backs that claim. Or, do you just throw that accusation around so you don't have to confront inconvenient truths?

Yes, but we can't learn from it because it is a hyperpartisan issue. Everyone has to point fingers instead of sitting back and looking at what worked and what didn't.

As it turns out, lockdowns were a bad idea: https://health.wusf.usf.edu/health-news-florida/2022-02-02/a-johns-hopkins-study-says-ill-founded-lockdowns-did-little-to-limit-covid-deaths Pretty much everything we did didn't work. Granted, this is hind sight.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-admin-dismissed-concerns-about-millions-in-palestinian-aid-potentially-being-used-for-terrorism-report/ar-AA1flPgQ "The State Department went ahead with plans to provide millions in aid to Palestinians, despite knowing there was a “high risk” that funding would be used for the terrorist group Hamas, according to a Freedom of Information Act request obtained by the Washington Free Beacon" Biden's handlers knew the consequences and they did it any way. Could it be because his office was plagued with terrorist sympathizers? https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2023/09/26/did-the-biden-administration-hire-iranian-agents-n2628970

The red flags, that no one wants to talk about, in this month's job report are that the big gains were not in areas that indicate economic growth. Three of top gainers were health care, government and social services. Health care is growing because the baby boomers are aging and needing more care. Government and social services growth were mandated. Combined, that was 165,000 of the 303,000 jobs added. The growth sectors like retail and manufacturing remained flat after losing last month. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm All this great economic news is a house of cards that will collapse soon.

Why is it that everything that isn't full on lwnj must be maga?

That would be Biden's handlers own fault for funding Hamas.

"Polls show former President Donald Trump is ascendant with the youngest bloc of the electorate, even leading President Joe Biden in some surveys, as less-engaged young voters spurn Biden. Meanwhile, Biden is stronger with seniors than he was four years ago, even as his personal image is significantly diminished since he was elected last time." https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/07/voter-age-biden-trump-2024-election-00150923 One thing Trump is (beyond being a bombastic jackass) is transformational.

Grades are literally a measure of achievement. Are grades discrimination? Hell yes. They are discriminating between those that did do the work and those that didn't. Some discrimination is good.

I'm not sure it won't hurt the GOP. But it is a very noble cause.

That is a fair point. However, the money that was spent during COVID was debt that was bought by the Fed...aka printed money. That causes inflation by devaluinf money.

I blame them both.

Oh, so now you are an expert? Please tell us how increasing government spending, which increases demand, makes the too much demand and too few goods ratio better.

If only I had acknowledged congress in my first post. Guess that was a big Oopsy on my part. Oh wait, I did. Oh, and look, here is Biden increasing spending again: https://ofr.harvard.edu/news/federal-update-president-biden-releases-fy24-budget-request Oh look, here is the House talking about how Joe keeps spending he wasn't authorized to spend: https://budget.house.gov/press-release/house-budget-committee-holds-biden-administration-accountable-at-hearing-on-the-presidents-fiscal-year-2025-budget-request-with-omb-director-shalanda-young It's almost like you are wrong.

Hmm...really? So the president can't propose a budget to congress? Did Joe propose a budget that reduced spending?

Remember when the victimization rose 44% in 2022? Good times. Hey, let's compare 2023 to 2022 and pretend we fixed it when the number dropped a little! It worked with gas! https://smdp.com/2023/12/12/violent-crime-is-up-and-also-down-according-to-new-federal-data/

Ok, maybe it is just a funny video kind of day? Almost impossible to get near the sun. Does that mean it can be done?

This is so accurate in so many ways. https://rumble.com/v4ok0dr-biden-my-legacy-will-be-that-i-reduced-the-prospect-of-war-because-of-vietn.html Yes, Joe did keep us out of war with Vietnam.

Here is the website for the coliseum: https://www.cvent.com/venues/rock-hill/arena-stadium/winthrop-university-winthrop-coliseum/venue-97262f84-8304-411e-a097-fb5f1efbcec8 It says it holds 6100. But that appears to be with the basketball court installed. Here is the video of the event: At 1:40, they show from the camera forward. There are at least a couple of thousand people from the camera to the stage and behind. IF the event was sold out, there is at least 6,100 + whatever is on the floor. Sanity check: Why would 3,000 people show up to the airplane but only a few hundred show up to the actual speech? What logic justifies that?

"nflation ran hot for a third straight month in March, raising questions about when the Federal Reserve will feel confident that price pressures are subdued and it can begin cutting interest rates." https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/inflation-accelerated-in-march-cpi-report-shows-whats-the-impact-on-fed-rate-cuts/ar-BB1lofCK Not that anyone here would have seen it, but I've been saying that rate increases aren't the way to handle this round of inflation. This round of inflation was caused by a lack of supply that started with covid but was extended with baby boomers retiring. To counter lack of supply, we need low interest rates to facilitate borrowing to modernize systems and hire new employees.

Nailed it.

Was this sarcasm?

That is not true. Republicans wanted a different law. They sent someone to negotiate a law. The compromise law was insanely bad. It was never going to get passed.

Oh, I'll burst your bubble. The President is quite responsible for inflation. In fact, the president (along with congress) controls the biggest budget in the world. Since inflation is too much money chasing too few goods, if the president were to cut spending he could reduce demand for goods and services and that would decrease inflation.
