First of all, I'll agree with you that Trump was much worse, and he actually started the inflation that we saw in 2021. The monthly data was showing a major ramping up of inflation when Biden was inaugurated. It just hadn't significantly affected the year-over-year data yet. Trump being worse is a different subject though. That being said, I didn't see Biden do much to try to curb inflation, if any. I think he did try to increase taxes but, despite that failure, he increased spending. I don't think it was a great time to be pausing student debt payments and he also continued the mailing of checks (free money) that Trump started, among other things. The BIL money was a great idea, but it didn't have a funding source either. He basically just left it to the federal reserve to bring down inflation, and then they were WAY too late.

Total lie. Show me one example.

Another lie.

Nope. Anti Israeli policies and genocide. Pro humanity and pro respect for innocent human life. Big difference.

Hmmmm. Let me follow this logic. Trump won the 2024 election so any violence in support of him in 2021 was OK.

I'll call bs. You're bring very non specific. Sounds like you have no real examples at all.

Who wasn't "allowed" to go where and who stopped them?

Elaborate "shutting down."

The definition of antisemitism is opposing the genocidal policies of Israel.

It's funny that ANYTHING that's against the policies of Israel is "antisemitic." Meanwhile, they don't care at all about ACTUAL racism or bigotry.

Well, there's a laundry list of ridiculous items but here's one: "In particular, Harvard must end support and recognition of those student groups or clubs that engaged in anti-Semitic activity since October 7th, 2023, including the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee, Harvard Graduates Students 4 Palestine, Law Students 4 Palestine, Students for Justice in Palestine, and the National Lawyers Guild, and discipline and render ineligible the officers and active members of those student organizations."

Shame on them for allowing kids to protest against the genocidal theocratic policies of Israel. The horror.

Not everybody initially assumed some claims were true but then they were. We can therefore extrapolate that all truths are covered up by the "mainstream media" and ALL of our whack job conspiracy theories should now be accepted as fact. FIFY

There's a huge amount we don't understand and can't perceive. This may be an example, but it's only one of pretty much infinity. Neil deGrasse Tyson: "As the area of our knowledge grows, so too does the perimeter of our ignorance. "

Maybe, but not the Christian version.

How do you define "leadership ability?"

My big issue with Biden is that he did absolutely nothing to curb inflation or tame the debt crisis. Then again, it doesn't seem like any prominent politicians do that anyway. Trump is gonna run an even bigger deficit than Biden since he won't touch any big programs, will jack up military spending and push massive tax cuts.

He's got the charisma and constant hyperbolism that's needed in the modern era. I do winder, however, if he has the populist ability to make small groups the scapegoats for all our problems.

Anecdotes and strawman arguments. That's literally all I hear from the right.

She didn't run a great campaign. She should have distanced herself more from Biden. I also don't know if she was the best candidate but at the time I don't know if the democrats had another choice. Ideally, the democrats would not have nominated Biden in by default but that's the 100% precedent. It was a bad situation no matter what. Better yet, Biden accepts that he's too old from the start. Very strange set of circumstances that allows us to elect the most incompetent AND by FAR the most corrupt and ego driven president in u.s. history. NOT EVEN CLOSE. And now he's completely destroying the dollars status as the world's reserve currency.

Never heard of NCRI so probably a bunch of b.s. There's so many right wing garbage on the internet and other media nowadays that nobody even has time to sift through all that crap. No, I'm not reading the article itself. I saw "NCRI" and I'll stop there. Not worth my time.

Nope. I got it, but I turned it around on you. Touche, since I had my own point.

Why kill them when you can just deport them?

I personally like Butegieg but our country may be too bigoted to vote for a gay person.

That's not the point. If they could get a 3rd term, they would. They are like pitbulls on the pant leg of opportunity.
