Rob, I’m sorry for insulting you, I was out of line. What I should have said is how I marvel at your ability to remain loyal to your political party. Loyalty however can become extremely faulty for reasons that should be obvious to some, while at the very same time seem oblivious to many others. People wanted Trump out based mainly on the words that came out of his mouth. People that thought that he was on their side at the beginning found him blowing their socks off instead. And with good reason I might add. I didn’t personally know the guy, nor did I have to like him. He reminded us that corruption exists in great measure at that level of government. Cover ups, thefts, hearsay’s, politically structured defamations, attempted murder of Supreme Court Justices, etc. Trump did his job, and when he left office, the economy was stable. He moved numbers to places that they actually needed to be. This is based on prosperity percentages of then vs those very same percentages as of now.
Biden’s numbers say that he is doing a horrid job, and that perhaps replacing him immediately would be in our best interests. At the end of the day we didn’t see rising inflation rates as we are right now. What has Biden done since taking office?
What I can say about Biden on a positive note, is that he is moving in a good direction in terms of becoming more responsible for the planet that we are living on. He wants to rid the US of gasoline powered vehicles, and this is something that should be highly applauded. However, the way that he is going about achieving this goal is all wrong. He is a poor manager and should be fired due to his seemingly inept approach on running a business. Just my opinion.
Are we in any position to eliminate gas cars completely, move into modular homes, and live in a possibly unsustainable, zero carbon emission US? What about the other countries around the world? Who would pay for all of this? It’s as if he has Peter Pan World attached to his brain. His idea is a global concern. We as Americans can not afford to go fund the world. As stated, there is a convoy that is entering the US right now, and there will be more after it. Border Patrol is being told to do nothing. Kamala is laughing her ass off. Wait, I may have missed the joke… many certainly said that they did.
The Biden administration is committing a federal crime. No other country in the world allows for the entry of non documented individuals. We as tax payers will have to flip the bill as resources such as hospitals, schools, jails, and just about every other resource, and source of social welfare is stretched thin.
Open your eyes people. The whole picture as a whole, is horribly skewed.

Trump's numbers
National debt increased by 39% in 4 years to $23 trillion.
Highest debt per gdp % since the end of WW2
Highest covid deaths in the world. Twice as many as India. An impoverished 3rd world country with an abysmal healthcare system and population 4x as big as the US
Trade deficit increased by 40% despite campaign promises to reduce it.
2.9m fewer jobs in the economy
Unemployment up by 1.6% to 6.3%
Coal mining production reduced by 26% despite campaign promises to increase. Resulting in 16% less jobs in the sector
Highest murder rate since 1997
Increased illegal immigration despite campaign promises to reduce it
Medically uninsured numbers up by 3 million
Campaign promises kept? 23%
Campaign promises broken? 53%
1,499 miles of border wall not built despite campaign promises to do so.
1 failed presidential candidate not in prison despite campaign promise to do so.
But hey, the stock market guys make a f**k ton of cash and corporate profits were up 8.5% and the number of billionaires skyrocketed even as the % of people in poverty went up...👍
"However, based on the rapid development of modernization and globalization, countries that were used to be considered as Third World countries achieve big economic growth, such as Brazil, India, and Indonesia, which can no longer be defined by poor economic status or low GNP today." - wikipedia
My two cents; the rest is true.

Biden undermined everything that worked. Before Biden took the reins, the economy was doing very well. We are watching civilization collapse in real time. Get your facts straight.
Good lord... when Trump left office the economy was already wounded and headed into a downward spiral due to his four years of gross mismanagement and feed-the-rich polices and believe it or not, the economy isn't turned around magically overnight, it takes time.
eg Trump has one of the worst records in job creation and job loss: Trump to leave office with the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover By hey, #MAGA forever, right?
I've already said that Biden is failing in his promises and if he doesn't turn it around by 2024, then he's failed as POTUS.

There is a convoy headed toward the southern border. Scare tactics? Are you a moron? Has the fact that inflation, gas prices, food prices, and rent prices gone undetected by you? Shit, I’d hate to ask you a simple question like What is a Woman?
And you have a link to this scary caravan I should be shitting myself over again?

What are you talking about?
I saw something a few years back about Biden basically being in-pocket for several debt collector entities, which made me extremely suspect of his recent movement towards abolishing student loan debt. Which was warranted, because so far it only affects a small fraction of people at certain fringe schools who were clearly defrauded and therefore should have had legal protection in the first place. He was also big on policies which favored MBNA, and had a potential conflict of interest at one point.
His voting record is all over the place, from being anti-abortion and brutally hard on drug crime, to fighting for more left-leaning reforms under Obama. There's no clear sense of where his loyalties lie (a fault you could argue with a lot of previous presidents), and he doesn't seem to be working to achieve anything.
But again, it was him or an actual trust fund baby fully grown, who thought Putin was a swell guy so yeah.

What has good ole Joe Biden done for the black community? Lol. Guess what guys? I’m black. What has he done exactly?
Breaking old news.
Several US intelligence sources tell ABC that they correctly predicted the rapid Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, but Biden administration disregarded their reports.
Wow, but he can send billions of dollars to aid Ukraine, which has been reported as being an extremely corrupt nation. What’s the difference between Afghanistan and Ukraine? Is one life more important than the other? Is one country filled with innocent people more important than another country filled with innocent people?
White Supremacy makes up for a small percentages of what is going on in this country. It’s always been there, but it never made inflation rise to the unprecedented levels that we see today. What happened in Afghanistan was under Biden’s watch. He did this on purpose. We don’t actually even know if Trump is indeed a White Supremacist. That could’ve been a smear campaign. But, what if he was a White Supremacist? Would that lead to the unprecedented rise in inflation that we are now facing? If so, why then did we not feel the brunt while Trump was in government? From my recollection, it was Nancy Pelosi who suggested to The House of Representatives narrowly approving a budget resolution that provides the framework for a $3.5 trillion spending deal following an impasse between House leaders and centrist Democrats that threatened to derail progress on the vast majority of President Biden's domestic agenda.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday said she’s advised the Biden administration to seek tens of billions of dollars more in emergency COVID-19 relief, suggesting it will take more than $40 billion to meet the testing, vaccine and therapeutic needs of the U.S. and the larger global community.
President Biden had initially asked Congress for $22.5 billion in new funding to fight the ongoing pandemic — a figure that was whittled down to $15.6 billion in the face of Republican opposition on Capitol Hill.
Pelosi on Thursday said that even the larger $22.5 billion figure was too small, arguing it would provide relief only through the early part of the summer before Congress would need to approve more.
“I think they should be double what they asked for, because even when they were asking for like 20-some [billion dollars] it was only going to get us to June,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol.
The comments came shortly after Pelosi and other Democratic leaders huddled in the Capitol with the Biden administration’s top health officials, including Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease specialist.
In seeking $22.5 billion for COVID-19 relief earlier this month, the administration had said it would cover the “immediate needs” of the pandemic response “over the next few months.”
The request proposed that a large bulk of the funding — $18.25 billion — would go to Becerra’s agency, while the remaining $4.25 billion would provide help abroad through the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development.
Republicans balked at the figure, saying it was both too high and needed to be paid for by spending cuts elsewhere in the budget. Bipartisan negotiators came to agreement on the $15.6 billion figure, which was fully offset.
The proposal hit a brick wall in the House last week, however, when rank-and-file Democrats revolted over one of the provisions to pay for it, which would have clawed back more than $7 billion from state COVID-19 funds allocated last March as part of Biden’s American Rescue Plan.
The opposition forced Pelosi to yank the COVID-19 funding from the larger spending package, and return to the drawing board in search of another source of offset funding.
Pelosi, who was reportedly furious with the Democratic critics, said Thursday that whatever bill emerges will be fully paid for — whatever the ultimate cost.
“What I’ve said to the administration is … you must ask for more. Because we need more, and you can’t expect money, this [bill], to turn around just like that because the legislative process takes time,” she said. “We want it to be bipartisan; we need it to be paid for. And so let’s just go for a bigger chunk.”
Pelosi said on Monday she hoped to vote this week on more funding, but a senior Democratic aide said Thursday that negotiators won’t meet that timeline, as the House is still working to reach agreement with the Senate on acceptable offsets.
The Speaker suggested she wants to move quickly.
“I think we have to get on with it,” she said.
Pelosi’s press conference came just hours after she dined with Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin on Wednesday evening. Shortly afterwards, Martin tested positive for COVID-19 — a development that’s sparked some concern in the Capitol since Pelosi is hosting Biden on Thursday afternoon for the annual luncheon honoring St. Patrick’s Day.
Pelosi dismissed those concerns, saying she’s tested “almost every day.”

What I find extremely hilarious, is how Biden is allowing all of these people into the country, and many of them are entering while infected with COVID-19. Kind of goes against what he put into play during 2021. Hmmm, had to scratch my head on that one.
What else has Biden done since his time in office? The cons appear to far outweigh the pros as his approval rating sinks to depths unheard of.

Someone remind me again of the $ figure for how much the US national debt went up under Trump and what the proposed Ukraine spend is as a % of that.
The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country.
The growth in the annual deficit under Trump ranks as the third-biggest increase, relative to the size of the economy, of any U.S. presidential administration." -snip
Should be noted that it was a great time to be wealthy, especially in the top 1% under Trump's term, they saw massive increases to the wealth.
Total committed to Ukraine is 54 billion. Which is less than one percent of the Trump admin's debt to the country.
