  1. I know why rampant inflation occurred. That is an entirely different argument, and one I’ll have with you. Here’s something we can likely agree on: it largely wasnt his fault. however, that graphic showing some current inflation metric is overly simplistic and frankly intentionally hides the massive inflation on his watch. It doesn’t tell the story you want it to.
  2. He never should have considered running. He totally fucked the entire Democratic Party, and those running the party let it happen. Kamala would never have been the candidate with a primary. You cannot possibly consider his handling of this anything other than totally ruining his legacy. And you partisanly distill it down to “not his fault”. Come the fuck on.
  3. That’s a dumbass graphic. That inflation is only at 2.9% totally ignores what occurred with inflation the entirety of Biden’s term, and his utter inability to communicate what he (the Fed) did to combat it and plans for his second term to continue to combat it. Stock market and job market are strong. I strongly suspect inflation will be kept in check except for gas prices, which will be an ongoing Trump battle. I also expect unemployment to go up. So what? Trump is a buffoon. And, so was Biden. The constant comparison to Trump is tiring. I like neither of them.
  4. It appears like it’s hyperbole but I believe we’re entering into significant supply constraints coming up. Prices should increase considerably in the short, mid and long term. Of course warmer weather could and probably will have downward pressure on nat gas. He’s likely been advised of this and kicked off his rhetoric. Unfortunately I don’t think he can do much. But he’ll try, and will definitely make it a focal point. The record high output is a little misleading, but the bigger issue is there is no way to sustain it for much longer.
  5. The majority of people and presidential historians. He’s not even thought of highly here except by people trying to defiantly puff their chests out, ignoring all fair criticisms. That is very telling.
  6. Nah. I never voted for Trump and don’t like him. But Biden will never be fondly remembered.
  7. I see Incred and Rex have logged into their socks. But you don't need me telling you what's up. Trump will save you soon!! Huh? I don’t have a sock. Biden was not a damned good president. And, Trump won’t save anything. Both can be true.
  8. Oh, if the church thinks its control of Wiki makes Mormonism sound MORE normal, I don’t care to read about what Jose really had to say.
  9. Mary didn’t proclaim this stuff about herself. It was written about her. Joe Smith claimed this shit happened to him, just 200 years ago. That is a massive difference. The Book of Mormon is laughable. From Wiki; the only thing missing from Smith’s gospel is ancient wormholes to transport Jews to the New World 2600 years ago: According to Joseph Smith, in 1823, when he was seventeen years old, an angel of God named Moroniappeared to him and said that a collection of ancient writings was buried in a nearby hill in present-day Wayne County, New York, engraved on golden plates by ancient prophets.[17][18] The writings were said to describe a people whom God had led from Jerusalem to the Western hemisphere 600 years before Jesus's birth.[14] Smith said this vision occurred on the evening of September 21, 1823, and that on the following day, via divine guidance, he located the burial location of the plates on this hill and was instructed by Moroni to meet him at the same hill on September 22 of the following year to receive further instructions, which repeated annually for the next three years.[19][20]Smith told his entire immediate family about this angelic encounter by the next night, and his brother William reported that the family "believed all he [Joseph Smith] said" about the angel and plates.
  10. Should’ve been formed 125 years before they were and they could have. It is really hard for me to determine which group has the nuttier origin story and early practices. People will emphatically say Scientology and I probably would agree. But a lot of that is based on the fact that mainstream Mormons (not FLDS) over the last 50 years or so have become a largely high-functioning and successful part of society and are genuinely good people. Their early history and the nuttiness of Joe Smith and Brigham Young is totally whitewashed. But LRH is still probably crazier.
  11. That always works. For the 5 minutes you’re fucking her. 10 minutes for me.
  12. I guess if you would also consider Scientology the quintessential American story too. Both are outrageous cults and it’s unfathomable that either of them took hold in the last few centuries.
  13. She would get it. She would get it big time.
  14. No idea what he’s talking about. He’s a loon that has me confused with someone else. I have him on ignore but had had a few pops and read / responded for sport.
  15. Lively and Reynolds are extremely powerful. Whatever. I don’t really care. I strongly suspect she’s a talentless cunt.
  16. He’s an actor also. If not for her husband, I’d say they’re equally known. I tend to buy his story over hers. She sounds like a real piece of work.
  17. Shut the fuck up, Ana. If I want your weirdo opinion I’ll ask.
  18. Disagree. They would’ve lost significantly more support if they’d gone full Fantana. I think they both played Israel about as well as they could have. This isn’t why Trump won. Inflation was the biggest reason by far. Followed by immigration and a rejection of leftism. I’m not sure Biden’s Israel stance was a factor at all.
  19. I’m at a loss. Sure, there is some stupidity in those that dislike him. He wasn’t an awful President. But he wasn’t good, at all, and he’s been reduced to a bumbling buffoon who has no business governing in his current state, much less even on the air. He was the worst candidate the Democrats have run, ever (2024). The majority of reasons people dislike him are not stupid.
  20. Well a lot here have no issue escaping from reality. Just because Trump is awful doesn’t mean Biden isn’t deserving of disapproval. I mean that’s a ridic statement.
