Deluge Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Most democrats will never figure this out, but it's the truth: wokeness can only get you so far. "President Joe Biden has the lowest job approval rating of any chief executive in the past 15 years, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll found. Biden's approval rating is 33%, the lowest since then-President George W. Bush in 2006-2008, ABC News reported. Biden also has a 58% disapproval rating. Such negative approval/disapproval numbers could suggest support of the current House GOP's investigation of Biden's alleged influence peddling and potential impeachment." https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/president-joe-biden-poll/2024/01/15/id/1149608/ Just now, Deluge said: Most democrats will never figure this out, but it's the truth: wokeness can only get you so far.

sharkman Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 (edited) The hardcore left continue on in complete denial of the sea change that is happening all around them. But at least 1/3 of Biden voters have woken up to the disaster their party is in. It’s due to a steady drip, drip , drip of decisions, results and jaw dropping embarrassments. The Administration’s heavy handed Covid response. Social media shutting down and banning free speech. Billions for Ukraine and none for the border or disaster stricken areas. The Biden admin changing the definition of what a recession is, so they can claim there hasn’t been one. Allowing gender change for children behind the parents backs. Drying up Ukraine aid and then blindly supporting Israel. Lying about the real inflation rate and unemployment rate. Three years of blaming everything on Trump instead of taking ownership. It’s been an unmitigated disaster. The good news is, it’s finally waking people up to the reality that Trump was better. He’s looking better and better. Hence the multiple court cases against him. Lawfare. That’s all they’ve got. And had he actually done something illegal they’d have thrown him in prison years ago. So he’s clean… Edited January 16 by sharkman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkman Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 So, on top of these awful approval numbers, it turns out that Biden is a warmonger. He wants to defend Israel to the endth degree. His administration has recently warned Iran over 3 American service member deaths. And then we have the growing spat with the Texas border and the Texas national guard. So, rub together the warmongering, the awful poll numbers and the fact that this is an election year. What do you come up with? Are you able to think critically?

I’m suggesting that it’s going to become an asset for Biden to use his military to manipulate voters, like Bill Clinton used to do. Clinton would bomb Iraq to get Americans to rally around the flag and be more supportive of his administration. Or to bomb during days of news that was damaging to his campaign or even just his administration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can never be sure what’s going on in Ukraine, but Biden has sent something like 180 billion over there so far. And there have been American military operations there for much of that war. Probably special forces, those pipelines and such aren’t going to blow up by themselves! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpankyMcFarland Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 (edited) I’m not sure how people can claim the economy is worse than it was. By many measures it is improving. One key question - how are you personally doing? - elicits a much more positive response than questions about the economy in general. Most people are not economists and anyone watching Fox News would reasonably think America is in a catastrophically bad state. So the economy is doing quite well. However, Biden’s credibility took a serious whack today with the release of the special counsel’s report. https://apnews.com/article/biden-memory-age-special-counsel-report-doj-f4232bc8316e556ed467185b67c3e0a8 In this century at least, a political system on British lines tends to weed out those no longer hitting it out of the park at the major league level long before they reach Biden or Trump‘s condition. Regular televised debate with peers, under rules where misleading parliament is a serious matter, lets a lot of sunlight in. By contrast, America’s model looks as antiquated and unfit for purpose as its current leaders. Edited February 9 by SpankyMcFarland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure - that's canada but people in the states are noticing the same things. Food prices mortgage prices, etc etc. they're going up and they shouldn't be.

I'll give you the fast version I answered with canada becuase we're both canadian so can relate to the question you asked from that perspective, but at the end of the day the people in the states are feeling the same thing for the same reasons. Just not as bad as us. And the positive indicators there are not real - they're a result of massive stimulation which doesn't help the average person and only makes things look better on paper. Which is why trump is doing better than biden in the polls, just as pp is doing better than justin.

This is like watching a housecat stealing a gazelle carcass from a lion with a mopey look on his face and a burgeoning diaper. Biden's Navy has been intercepting those attacks which therefore did no harm. And retaliation has been waged, even though you are oblivious to it. A timeline of the Houthi attacks that led to US and UK airstrikes Quote 23 November US officials say the USS Hudner shoots down drones launched from Yemen. 29 November The USS Carney intercepts missiles fired from Yemen and shoots down what US officials describe as an “Iranian-made” drone headed towards it. 3 December US military officials say three commercial vessels come under attack in international waters in the southern Red Sea, as Houthis claim drone and missile attacks on two Israeli vessels in the area. The USS Carney shoots down three Houthi drones. 9 December Houthis say they will target all ships heading to Israel, regardless of their nationality, if Israel does not allow the delivery of “the food and medicine it needs.” 12 December Houthis target a Norwegian vessel with a land-based cruise missile, causing a fire to break out on board. In response, Israel announces it will deploy one of its most advanced warships in the Red Sea. 16 December The Pentagon says the USS Carney shot down 14 drones launched by Houthis over the Red Sea. 18 December Attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea begin to intensify. Houthis announce two more drone attacks targeting cargo vessels in the Red Sea: MSC Clara and Norweigian-owned Swan Atlantic. 23 December The US shoots down four drones launched from Yemen and headed towards a US destroyer in the Red Sea. Houthis nearly hit a Norwegian oil tanker with a drone and strike an Indian-flagged crude oil tanker. 26 December Houthis launch a missile attack on an MSC container ship in the Red Sea and an attempt to hit Israel with drones. 28 December The US shoots down one drone and one anti-ship ballistic missile in the southern Red Sea fired by Houthis. Reuters notes that it is the 22nd attempted attack on international shipping since 19 October. 31 December US forces kill 10 Houthi naval personnel as they attempted to board a commercial vessel on three boats in the Red Sea. 3 January The US and 12 allies issue a final warning to Houthis to cease their attacks on vessels in the Red Sea or face military action. “Let our message now be clear: we call for the immediate end of these illegal attacks and release of unlawfully detained vessels and crews,” the countries said. “The Houthis will bear the responsibility of the consequences should they continue to threaten lives, the global economy, and free flow of commerce in the region’s critical waterways.” 4 January Houthis launch an unmanned surface vessel that detonated a “couple of miles” away US Navy and commercial vessels in the Red Sea, US officials say. Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of US Navy operations in the Middle East, said it was the first time the Houthis had used an unmanned surface vessel since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. 9 January Houthi forces launch their largest attack to date, with 21 drones and missiles fired towards the Red Sea. All of the projectiles were shot down by British and US forces. The Pentagon says it is the 26th Houthi attack on commercial shipping lanes in the Red Sea since 19 November and British defence secretary Grant Shapps says the situation “cannot be allowed to continue." 11 January Houthis fire an anti-ship ballistic missile into international shipping lanes in the Gulf of Aden. 11/12 January US and British forces launched airstrikes against dozens of targets across Yemen on January 11 in retaliation for months of attacks by the country’s Houthi movement on commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea. Those attacks, launched by the Iran-backed group in response to Israel’s war in Gaza, have wrought havoc on international shipping and drawn the US and its allies into a regional conflict. The Pentagon said 60 targets were hit using more than 150 precision-guided munitions. AKA you are IGNORANT about what the US is doing in the Red Sea.
