Trump Presidency Round 2

[RDU Irish]

Fucking canucks talk like brits now? It's a coloring book Mr. Furner.

Trump was like Oprah last night "YOU get a Medal of Freedom, YOU get a Purple Heart...." - too long winded and drawn out for my taste but definitely drew a strong contrast against the hateful Dems.

Too bad the Republicans will reward him with zero meaningful legislation and shitty Congressional candidates. War in Iran gonna be lit.

 

[GATTACA!]

Brilliant timing. In proof there’s no such thing as a moderate Democrat and the irony of democrats lecturing us about affordability-

Just to clarify for #1, this video is Ai.

 

[drayer54]

Colouring book administration

The people in the middle are trying to lecture about affordability.

 

[drayer54]

Just to clarify for #1, this video is Ai.

Duh. It’s as real as her campaign promises. That’s the point.

 

[TorontoGold]

Just to clarify for #1, this video is Ai.

Maybe! But isn’t it crazy to think how she could be that stupid this to think that in the fake AI tweet! What? That’s not clear to you? Stop misrepresenting!

 

[TorontoGold]

The people in the middle are trying to lecture about affordability.

Because the people who can’t figure out how a calendar works think that inflation was a local thing and not global.

Another bad night for the adults who only understand colouring books

 

[ozzman]

Still shocked things go missing. This was just a Democrat hoax.

Bullshit.

The American Rescue Plan was not a coloring book. It was a partisan choice and an expensive gas can to inflation.

Ironically, the Inflation Reduction Act was a spending handout bill and likely fraud package that just printed more cash on partisan lines.

Biden chose to spend high, ignore the supply chain woes, implement activist energy policy that drove prices at the pump way up ( remember those stickers on every pump saying I did that with Joe pointing at the price) and they were way too slow to respond to the transitory Putin price hikes because their nose ring economists thought it would pass. All self inflicted, like the open border ( which does what to demand?)

Do you believe that inflation was something only experienced in the US during that time? Are you trying to tell me the US which is in a net deficit position isn’t subject to outside events/economies? That level of economic analysis would maybe get you a passing grade at Trump University or Colouring Book U.

Which of the factors I listed did not accelerate inflation in the United States?

Only the best staffers

The onus is on you to show how inflation in the US under Biden was his fault and not the typical way that developed economies react to global events.

This is like saying that a team who played LSU in 2019 was the worst team in college football, without actually understanding how other teams handled it.

Again, use papers not propaganda to support your position. Tell me why the US economy in your opinion is sheltered from the rest of the world, or how the American president can dictate price controls to other nations.

Your LSU analogy actually proves my point.

If every team played LSU, and one team decided to spot them 14.5 points before kickoff, that team’s loss margin is partly LSU… and partly self-inflicted. Global shocks were LSU.

Domestic fiscal expansion (Biden's choices) was spotting points. In other words- they made it worse to fund the NGOs and left wing causes.

No one is saying a U.S. president controls global prices. The point is that policy decisions here at home can either amplify or cushion inflation compared to other countries dealing with the same global shocks. That’s not some fringe talking point or coloring book, it’s a mainstream economic debate with plenty of serious academic work behind it. Larry the Liberal should know that. But acting like massive fiscal expansion has zero inflation risk just because inflation was global isn’t thoughtful analysis, it’s convenient framing. An LSU straw man, like Brian Kelly.

I have to use framing because all that you and the others bring is gargled out InsurrectionBarbie slop. I’d rather discuss fed rates but you’re essentially boiling the argument down to dude trust me Biden bad. So yeah, I’m going to have to spoon feed you.

Here’s the inflation rates by G7 countries. Now, you tell me where it’s clear that Biden was at fault. Is it the spike at the start? If so, we’re going to have to give him credit for the lowest after that.



If you don’t believe in other countries impacting the inflation rate. Tell me how a country in a net trade deficit position is somehow able to maintain full price controls in a capitalistic economy. Joe Biden’s campaign speech talking points don’t have any bearing on what actually happened, if we were to base campaign speech’s vs results we’d see countless posts about Mexico paying for the wall, tariffs paying for things, and that DOGE reduced spending but we all know those were complete failures.

 

[TorontoGold]

Administration run by people that scored 96 on the SAT, if only they could get 960 they’d be able to read a simple chart. Truly the dumbest people. When you employ idiot racists to do your media I guess we shouldn’t expect others to be competent too.

Somehow the words are confusing you. You must read like Gavin Newsom. I argued that the policy decisions made by Joe Biden amplified the inflation and affordability problem. You said coloring books and excuses. I asked you to point to which policy on my list of inflation accelerating policies made by Joe Biden and tell me which one did not accelerate inflation.

You then went back to coloring books and whatever zoo animal sideshow SOTU shit you like and gave me some bullshit strawman LSU analogy. I explained to you again, global situation being what it be- Biden’s decisions were like spotting LSU two touchdowns in unforced errors, to which you came back with this dumb shit which is entirely irrelevant. My gas, groceries, electricity, housing, vehicles, etc. all skyrocketed under Biden and you can blame Putin or or the globe or whatever, but it is undeniable that the decisions made by Joe Biden and his team of it’s transitory stupid economists only made the problem worse. To be fair, I think they cooled it a bit towards the end when an election was nearing after realizing they really fucked up- but the damage was done by the dems who are now arsonists bitching about matches,

Which part of the G7 inflation chart are you not understanding? Can you tell me why you think those economies are moving together?

Is it the secret One World Order that is secretly pulling the strings? Am I to believe that Meloni is this radical socialist you’re trying to say Biden was?

Would you rather he was authoritarian like Xi? Interesting Republican darling Orban saw 52%.


This boils down to refusing to accept something that isn’t the party line. You have been provided with the facts and figures, and it’s just “well you see Biden had a stimulus package, and that’s why every developed economy had an inflation rate that was nearly identical. If Biden didn’t do that, well he’d have inflation under control.” That is not a rational argument in front of any person with a functioning brain.

If you were able to support it with numbers you would have done it by now. This is what happens when AI memes meant for seniors are treated as truth but can’t even pass a sniff test.

 

[RDU Irish]

LOL - who does this remind you of?

 

[ozzman]

President of Peace!

 

[Bluto]

President of Peace!

So much peace!

It’s amazing really.

Let’s obliterate the thing we already obliterated which they said they were never going to try to develop!

It’s pathetic/incredible how cuckold the entire US government is by the state of Israel.

We can spend trillions of dollars pursuing and supporting the Zionist project but heaven forbid you ask affordable healthcare.

The levels of gaslighting are something to behold.

 

[Sea Turtle]

President of Peace!

If he flips Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba, then his farts become more important than this opinion.

Flips it to what?

Being able to buy a bunch of bullshit on Amazon Prime?

Venezuela has been not much of anything so far. It’s the same fucking government that was there. Lol.

So you gonna grab an M-16 and be on the front lines for this or be sitting back in some recliner asking other peoples kids to die for this unnecessary bullshit?

If you support this shit with Iran you need to reevaluate your concept of what it means to be a Christian.

Seriously, fuck off with this war monger bullshit.

There it is.

Come on, Bluto. This is a good thing. It's not perfect but the IRGC is freaking evil.

Venezuela is already better. They have food in the grocery stores now and will also have elections by the end of the year. Also, Cuba, Russia and China are out of there now.

If you are a developing country, then you are either going to be under the influence of Russia, China or the US. Better the US(warts and all)than the other two plus Cuba.

It is really hard to justify this morally. As a conservative, I'm not a fan of shifting goalposts. Not sure how to justify launching a regime change when the evidence of an imminent threat seems more flimsy than yellow cake uranium.
I'm also not a fan of taking these risks when the direct beneficiary appears to be Israel, not the U.S. But what do I know.
I especially don't like the idea of the public having zero say. Appears Trump was going to carry this out whether we liked it or not.

Im also not a huge fan of interfering with other sovereign nations, no matter how awful we think they are. If anything, we set the standard. Otherwise, there is no order. Russia can do whatever they please, China, too. It boils everything down to might makes right.

There are countless other reasons this is unpalatable, but maybe it will all work out fine....
This might turn out to be a great move, but not sure how anyone can approach this with unbound trusting enthusiasm and confidence. Especially if you were conscious in 2003.

Yeah, we killed the motherfucker that murdered 30k of his own citizens in the street. LFG

Very easy to poo poo the intelligence assessments when you don’t have access to the intelligence assessments.

We put pretty basic guidelines in for our goals - degrade Iranian Nuclear facilities and Ballistic Missile capacity. We set the condition for the protests to take control of the country, but regime change was not our explicit goal. We whacked the Ayatollah, who was personally responsible for the death of over a thousand Americans. Good fucking riddance. The same motherfuckers who cheered on the murder of a Healthcare CEO are clutching their pearls over us turning the Ayatollah to a cloud of mist

I'm not sure I understand, what intelligence are you talking about? Maybe I missed it(I'm not being facetious). What exactly was the USS Maine here? The legit or manufactured excuse. What was the Lusitania, the Pearl Harbor attack, the gulf of tonkin incident, the invasion of kuwait, the world trade center attack, the yellow cake uranium?
What gave us the right to take out their leader? What was the imminent threat that cornered us into a war? I thought the Ayatollah wanted to meet our demands? Did I miss something?

The Ayatollah did not want to meet our demands. They were negotiating from a position of weakness and made zero concessions for their ballistic missile program, their foreign terror proxies, and their rapid attempts to reconstitute their nuclear refining capability. Obviously none of the actual intel is public, but speculation has been that they were making dirty bombs.
