    You can spin your numbers all day and night but the fact remains that
    the number 1 issue with voters is the economy/inflation and the polls
    show that people blame Biden/Harris for the mess.
    And that is a fact.

    And people are _never_ deceived? Or make a mountain out of a mole hill?
    Case in point:


    Initially Biden was trying to convince the people that Bidenomics was working.

    So then, just what is the definition of "working" here?

    Because if it is real wage increasing to catch up with inflation, we
    know that it is already 98% of the way there by one metric, and is 102%
    of the way there by another metric.

    We are still struggling based on Reagan and his absurd trickle down. Trump's
    work to redistribute money to the very rich did not help. Nor did the
    pandemic. Nor the war in Ukraine. Or Israel.

    I was better off when Trump was in office.

    By what measure?



    He and his handlers found out rather quickly that people were not buying
    that message so he stopped promoting it.

    Or...that was Biden's message and since he's no longer running, Harris
    has emphasized different top messaging points.

    The Biden/Harris administration will go down in history as the worst
    administration ever, even topping Jimmy Carter.

    So what was your career path before CoVid ruined it?

    I was already retired. What does that have to do with you being a moron?

    Oh, so then what you're really saying is that you failed on your own
    retirement planning to take inflation into account.

    I never said any of that liar.


    It is what you're effectively admitting to: inflation isn't a fiction,
    so good retirement planning *always* has to include cost of living
    increases in its financial plan.

    Since your complaint is that you've fallen behind economically, it is
    entirely your own damn fault for failing to adequately prepare for your
    own retirement.

    So then, was your personal planning failure due to recency bias?
    Or have you always been bad at math & finances? /s

    <blink> Anyway prices are almost double than what they were.

    "Double"? Only if you're comparing costs to ... 1996:

    <https://www.usinflationcalculator.com>



    Because there's not been a major enough Market downturn to blame it on
    Sequence of Returns risks since ~2008.

    Gas? Food? Keep sucking up that kool aid.

    The fall of 2018 was Trump's peak economy, as the US domestic
    manufacturing segment went into a technical recession by early 2019
    (yes, before CoVid) and the national average price of regular gas was
    just over $2.90/gallon:

    10/08/2018: $2.903

    Cite: <https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=EMM_EPMR_PTE_NUS_DPG&f=W>


    And for the same exact time period earlier this month:

    10/07/2024: $3.136

    Now $3.136/$2.903 = 1.0803 = = +8.03%

    These are NOT inflation adjusted dollars, so it shows that the inflation
    rate on gasoline has been just +8% over 6 years.

    And if one takes the 6th root of that to get an average inflation rate
    over those six years, its 1.01295 = 1.013 = +1.3%/year


    For food, its usually easier to assume the basket used in the CPI
    (above) which reports 16.4% since 2021. However, you're probably trying
    to cherry-pick on the price of eggs which spiked for awhile not because
    of federal policy, but because of bird flu decimating the flocks. I've
    *also* posted about this too. Plus there's also been reports of
    deliberate corporate profiteering in excess of supply chain disruptions:

    [quote]In a March report, the Federal Trade Commission found that food retailers' profit margins exceeded the costs they passed along to
    consumers both during and after the pandemic at rates that could not be rationalized by supply-chain disruptions or wage increases.

    Grocery chain profits spiked 11% between 2021 and 2022; they have yet to
    come down. Specifically, the FTC noted that "data indicates that one
    measure of annual profits for food and beverage retailers — the amount
    of money companies make over and above their total costs — rose
    substantially during the pandemic and remain quite elevated," adding
    that "this profit trend casts doubt on assertions that rising prices at
    the grocery store are simply moving in lockstep with retailers' own
    rising costs."
    [/quote]

    <https://money.com/grocery-store-prices-inflation-stocks/>

    Plus there's also a gap between DIY food and Service:

    [quote]
    The level of food price inflation varies depending on whether the food
    was purchased for consumption at home or away from home:

    The food-at-home (grocery store or supermarket food purchases) CPI
    decreased 0.1 percent from July 2024 to August 2024 and was 0.9 percent
    higher than August 2023; and

    The food-away-from-home (restaurant purchases) CPI increased 0.3 percent
    in August 2024 and was 4.0 percent higher than August 2023.
    [/quote]

    <https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/>


    Oh and you're still a moron.


    Must suck to be you and have a "moron" school you in public on very
    basic math & home budgeting.

    Oh, look: its even more than just colloquial.

    From a 2021 report:

    [quote]
    ‘Guys’ isn’t a gendered word anymore. It’s fine to use with everyone. ...
    One of the problems with dismissing the word guys as inherently
    masculine is that it assumes that the gendering of language is fixed —
    that the meaning we make of things now is the meaning they’ve always had
    and always will. But clearly that’s not true. In fact, guys comes from
    the burned effigies of England’s 17th-century would-be bomber Guy
    Fawkes, which were called “guys,” and then came to be applied to every lowlife fellow, and eventually to males altogether. But by the middle of
    the 20th century, women began using it too, as a generic, plural form of “you.” In other words, women themselves helped make “guys” gender-neutral.

    [/quote]

    <https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/07/07/guys-defense-gendered-etymology/>

    TL;DR: you may live way in the boonies, but as per the above reporting,
    you're a half century out of date. Please do try to keep up.

    Or have you always been bad at math & finances? /s

    <blink> Anyway prices are almost double than what they were.

    "Double"? Only if you're comparing costs to ... 1996:

    4 years ago.

    <https://www.usinflationcalculator.com>



    Because there's not been a major enough Market downturn to blame it on
    Sequence of Returns risks since ~2008.

    Gas? Food? Keep sucking up that kool aid.

    The fall of 2018 was Trump's peak economy, as the US domestic
    manufacturing segment went into a technical recession by early 2019
    (yes, before CoVid) and the national average price of regular gas was
    just over $2.90/gallon:

    10/08/2018: $2.903

    Cite: <https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=EMM_EPMR_PTE_NUS_DPG&f=W>


    And for the same exact time period earlier this month:

    10/07/2024: $3.136

    Now $3.136/$2.903 = 1.0803 = = +8.03%

    These are NOT inflation adjusted dollars, so it shows that the inflation
    rate on gasoline has been just +8% over 6 years.

    And if one takes the 6th root of that to get an average inflation rate
    over those six years, its 1.01295 = 1.013 = +1.3%/year


    For food, its usually easier to assume the basket used in the CPI
    (above) which reports 16.4% since 2021. However, you're probably trying
    to cherry-pick on the price of eggs which spiked for awhile not because
    of federal policy, but because of bird flu decimating the flocks. I've *also* posted about this too. Plus there's also been reports of
    deliberate corporate profiteering in excess of supply chain disruptions:

    [quote]In a March report, the Federal Trade Commission found that food retailers' profit margins exceeded the costs they passed along to
    consumers both during and after the pandemic at rates that could not be rationalized by supply-chain disruptions or wage increases.

    Grocery chain profits spiked 11% between 2021 and 2022; they have yet to
    come down. Specifically, the FTC noted that "data indicates that one
    measure of annual profits for food and beverage retailers ? the amount
    of money companies make over and above their total costs ? rose
    substantially during the pandemic and remain quite elevated," adding
    that "this profit trend casts doubt on assertions that rising prices at
    the grocery store are simply moving in lockstep with retailers' own
    rising costs."
    [/quote]

    <https://money.com/grocery-store-prices-inflation-stocks/>

    Plus there's also a gap between DIY food and Service:

    [quote]
    The level of food price inflation varies depending on whether the food
    was purchased for consumption at home or away from home:

    The food-at-home (grocery store or supermarket food purchases) CPI
    decreased 0.1 percent from July 2024 to August 2024 and was 0.9 percent higher than August 2023; and

    You can spin your numbers all day and night but the fact remains that
    the number 1 issue with voters is the economy/inflation and the polls
    show that people blame Biden/Harris for the mess.
    And that is a fact.

    And people are _never_ deceived? Or make a mountain out of a mole hill?
    Case in point:


    Initially Biden was trying to convince the people that Bidenomics was working.

    So then, just what is the definition of "working" here? >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Because if it is real wage increasing to catch up with inflation, we
    know that it is already 98% of the way there by one metric, and is 102%
    of the way there by another metric.

    We are still struggling based on Reagan and his absurd trickle down. Trump's
    work to redistribute money to the very rich did not help. Nor did the
    pandemic. Nor the war in Ukraine. Or Israel.

    I was better off when Trump was in office.

    By what measure?



    He and his handlers found out rather quickly that people were not buying
    that message so he stopped promoting it.

    Or...that was Biden's message and since he's no longer running, Harris
    has emphasized different top messaging points.

    The Biden/Harris administration will go down in history as the worst
    administration ever, even topping Jimmy Carter.

    And why was Carter so bad in your eyes? Inflation again, but this time
    from Nixon/Ford? Are you old enough to remember the GOP's "WIN" (Whip
    Inflation Now) campaign and wage freezes? How did those real wages
    catch up?

    Wages have not come close to keeping close with productivity. Used to be a CEO
    made 40x the average worker. Now it is several hundred times. >>>>>>>>>>>
    So?


    The CEO:worker pay ratio shows the increasing wealth concentration at
    the top, which is decreasing the prosperity of the US middle class, for
    higher CEO pay means less for the rank & file, which is why more middle
    class households are failing instead of rising up. It is the inevitable
    outcome of the GOP's "Trickle-Down" economics starting from Reagan. >>>>>>>>>>

    So what you're saying is that you lost your job due to CoVid?

    Or are you saying that you've not gotten raises, either because your >>>>>>>> employer has not been kept up with the national average for wage >>>>>>>> increases, or didn't think you were worth paying more?

    Or did you (or spouse) retire, so your income has dropped from that? >>>>>>>>

    YMMV, but my hourly rate has soared, such that I don't need to work long

    Crime wasn't as bad.

    Interesting claim, because National crime statistics show that most >>>>>>>> crime rates have continued to go down, despite the public's false >>>>>>>> perception that things aren't getting better:

    <https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/24/what-the-data-says-about-crime-in-the-us/>

    TL;DR: half as bad as it used to be.

    Thus said, there have been changes in opportunistic nonviolent property
    theft, such as stealing FedEx deliveries, washing checks stolen from the
    mail, etc, but property crime still been trending down over time: >>>>>>>>
    "The FBI data also shows a 59% reduction in the U.S. property crime rate

    So what was your career path before CoVid ruined it?


    -hh

    I was already retired. What does that have to do with you being a moron? >>>>
    Oh, so then what you're really saying is that you failed on your own
    retirement planning to take inflation into account.

    I didn't admit to anything. Typical liberal putting words in my mouth.

    Your own literal words:

    "I was better off when Trump was in office."

    and when asked what that meant,

    "I couls afford to do stuff."

    I'm assuming "couls" is a typo for "couldn't", because that's the only
    word that makes any sense in context.



    I never said any of that liar.


    It is what you're effectively admitting to: inflation isn't a fiction,
    so good retirement planning *always* has to include cost of living
    increases in its financial plan.

    I admitted nothing.

    You posted "I couls afford to do stuff."



    Since your complaint is that you've fallen behind economically, it is
    entirely your own damn fault for failing to adequately prepare for your
    own retirement.

    You idiot. I never said I was falling behind in anything.

    "I couls afford to do stuff."

    which you said that in context to your prior

    "I was better off when Trump was in office."

    You're trying to imply that you could afford stuff when Trump was in
    office, but now you can't. Be more clear next time in what you write if
    that wasn't exactly what you intended to claim.



    So then, was your personal planning failure due to recency bias?
    Or have you always been bad at math & finances? /s

    <blink> Anyway prices are almost double than what they were.

    "Double"? Only if you're comparing costs to ... 1996:

    Your math is wrong to claim double. Plug it into the CPI tool URL that

    Oh, look: its even more than just colloquial.

    From a 2021 report:

    [quote]
    ?Guys? isn?t a gendered word anymore. It?s fine to use with everyone.
    ...
    One of the problems with dismissing the word guys as inherently
    masculine is that it assumes that the gendering of language is fixed ?
    that the meaning we make of things now is the meaning they?ve always had
    and always will. But clearly that?s not true. In fact, guys comes from
    the burned effigies of England?s 17th-century would-be bomber Guy
    Fawkes, which were called ?guys,? and then came to be applied to every lowlife fellow, and eventually to males altogether. But by the middle of
    the 20th century, women began using it too, as a generic, plural form of ?you.? In other words, women themselves helped make ?guys? gender-neutral.

    [/quote]

    <https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/07/07/guys-defense-gendered-etymology/>

    Of course not. Amongst other things is the context of that GDP, which is

    ~3x the population of the USA, but it is because its GDP per Capita is so
    low ... roughly ~1/6th that of the USA ($13K vs $83K) ... that they don't have a comparable amount of prosperity for its population.

    So.. China's economy SUCKS then?

    I mean you can't tell us they have a great economy and then turn around

    The use of the term "snowflake" became popular as related to politics
    during the 2016 election where the libbys were out walking the streets
    crying about Hillary losing and needing safe spaces in order to come to

    Whatever.

    That is the right wing response to evidence: whatever.

    and the left wing response to anything is "TRUMP".

    Nope. While it is true ANYONE would be better than Trump, those of us on the left care about a lot more than that.

    No you don't. You are willing to put a buffoon in office just because
    your hate. That's YOUR feelings.

    Liberal policies are rooted in evidence-based approaches and a commitment to equal rights, aiming for outcomes that benefit society as a whole. For healthcare, they focus on universal access or the like which studies show leads to better health outcomes and lower costs.

    On climate change, they look to scientific consensus that transitioning to renewable energy reduces carbon emissions and can create millions of jobs in clean energy industries.

    Economically, raising the minimum wage and taxing the wealthy more are supported by data showing they reduce income inequality and improve quality of
    life for low- and middle-income workers.

    In education, offering free public college and forgiving student loans are based on evidence that increasing access to education leads to higher earnings
    and economic mobility. Expanding early childhood education has long been proven to improve long-term academic and social outcomes.

    For civil rights, policies promoting racial justice, LGBTQ+ protections, and reproductive rights aim to ensure equal treatment for all, leading to a fairer, more inclusive society. Immigration reform would provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, with research showing that integrating immigrants strengthens the economy.

    Gun control measures like universal background checks and assault weapon bans are supported by data linking them to lower rates of gun violence. Expanding voting rights and strengthening unions have been shown to lead to greater civic participation and fairer wages, promoting equality across society. The focus is on policies that create a healthier, fairer, and more just society for all.

    What do you think the right wing has to offer? Notice below you focus on feelings and maintain your unsupported accusations.

    They are not the left.

    You focus on emotions... those on the left TEND to focus on evidence and equal
    rights more.

    That's what liberals do.

    But you feel harmed bu Trump.

    What you call facts is only bullshit put out there to make the
    people happy. I do the shopping. I know what is going on.

    Unsupported accusation based on your emotional state.

    Truth and you are to stupid to know it.

    Do you admit prices are higher? Yes when Trump was in office i was

    Not for most of Trump's tenure you didn't.

    The only time that gas was under $2/gallon during Trump's tenure was for
    just 9 weeks during the biggest part of the CoVid shutdown, namely
    4/6/20 to 6/1/20.

    That's just 4% of Trump's time in office: the other 96% of the time you
    were paying more.

    In some cases, more then than the equivalent dollar value today.
    Case in point, from my prior post:

    10/08/2018: $2.903 --> that's in 2018 dollars
    10/07/2024: $3.136 --> that's in 2024 dollars.

    As per the CPI calculator (here's the URL again):

    <https://www.usinflationcalculator.com>

    ...$1 in 2018 is worth $0.80 today, so (.80)*($3.136) = $2.51/gallon.

    Yes, what this means is that the real price of gas today is 13% lower
    than it was the same week back in 2018.


    - -

    Plus since this is supposed to be about policy, not random chance of
    CoVid, do you remember what did Trump do when gas prices did plummet by
    20% in one month from CoVid?

    Why Trump flew to Saudi Arabia and demanded that OPEC cut production so
    as to raise oil prices:

    <https://www.reuters.com/article/economy/special-report-trump-told-saudi-cut-oil-supply-or-lose-us-military-support--idUSKBN22C1V3/>


    Plus on future oil prices, Trump set the stage for those being higher
    too after his term, by expanding bans on domestic exploration drilling,
    calling himself a "great environmentalist":

    It ain't bullshit to note that you've cherry-picked from the CoVid price

    You've claimed that gas was 2x more expensive.

    Oh, look: its even more than just colloquial.

    From a 2021 report:

    [quote]
    ?Guys? isn?t a gendered word anymore. It?s fine to use with everyone.
    ...
    One of the problems with dismissing the word guys as inherently
    masculine is that it assumes that the gendering of language is fixed ?
    that the meaning we make of things now is the meaning they?ve always had
    and always will. But clearly that?s not true. In fact, guys comes from
    the burned effigies of England?s 17th-century would-be bomber Guy
    Fawkes, which were called ?guys,? and then came to be applied to every
    lowlife fellow, and eventually to males altogether. But by the middle of
    the 20th century, women began using it too, as a generic, plural form of
    ?you.? In other words, women themselves helped make ?guys? gender-neutral. >>
    [/quote]

    <https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/07/07/guys-defense-gendered-etymology/>

    TL;DR: you may live way in the boonies, but as per the above reporting,
    you're a half century out of date. Please do try to keep up.

    higher today than when Biden took the White House, Fox Business reported.

    Fox lied to you.

    Nope.

    You are a craven liar, Huntzy.


    Since January 2021, electricity prices have soared 29.4% — 50% more than overall inflation — rising 13 times faster than the previous seven
    years, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

    https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/started-going-energy-prices-soar-biden-pursues-green-agenda

    The Labor Department's new Consumer Price Index (CPI) report on Tuesday
    showed that gasoline and housing costs were the biggest drivers of a
    0.4% increase in March. Prices climbed 3.5% from the same time last
    year, higher than economists had predicted. Oil prices have reached a five-month-high.

    "There is no improvement here, we’re moving in the wrong direction,"
    said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst for Bankrate.

    Every driver in America knows that gasoline prices surged to exorbitant
    highs in 2022, following international disruptions in oil production as
    a result of war between Russia and Ukraine. Prices have since come down,
    but overall gas still costs 52.1% more today than when Biden became
    president. On Jan. 18, 2021, the average price per gallon of gas was
    $2.38, and today it is $3.62, according to data from the _Energy
    Information Administration_.

    Diesel prices tell a similar story, increasing 50.4% over the last three
    years, from $2.70 per gallon in January 2021 to $4.06 per gallon today.

    DRILL BABY DRILL

    Gas prices are currently high for several reasons. First, as economies bounce back from COVID-19, demand for oil has surged, while OPEC+ manages supply by sometimes restricting production, keeping prices elevated. Geopolitical tensions also play a role; the war in Ukraine has disrupted energy markets, especially with sanctions on Russia impacting global supply, and instability in other oil-producing regions adds to these concerns. Additionally, rising costs across various sectors, including transportation and labor, contribute to higher gas prices, as overall inflation affects energy costs. Seasonal maintenance or unplanned outages at refineries can limit gasoline production, further tightening supplies and increasing prices. The summer driving season also drives up demand as more travelers hit the road. Market speculation about
    future oil supply and demand can lead to price increases as investors react to
    these perceptions.

    Whatever. Now explain food prices. Stop with the AI bullshit.

    Whatever.

    You do not care about the facts.

    Facts I do. Lies I do not.

    Now explain food prices.

    Food prices are spiking for a bunch of reasons. First off, the pandemic really
    messed up supply chains, making it more expensive and difficult to get food to
    stores. Then you?ve got inflation pushing up the costs of production and transportation. Extreme weather, like droughts and floods, has also hit crop yields hard, and a lot of this can be tied to man-made climate change ? which Republican policies, resisting environmental regulations, just make worse. On top of that, the war in Ukraine is messing with global markets for essentials like wheat and sunflower oil.

    No AI.

    But there?s also a labor shortage hitting the farming and food industries. A big part of this is tied to Trump?s focus on cutting back immigration, which reduced the available workforce for jobs like farm labor and food processing. Fewer workers mean higher costs, and that all adds up, making food prices climb even more.

    Nah, just showing how you can dish it out, but you can't take it back.
    And using your own "Cry harder" slogan is only as insulting to you as
    you intended for it to be to others.

    I don't believe I made the statement "Cry Harder". Maybe I quoted
    someone, but it's not something I would normally say.
    Any references?

    Or do you not know because you don't care, because you don't want to
    actually follow longstanding US Law?

    I don't want just anyone to enter. Do you support the gangs and raping
    and killing?

    If you don't want anyone to enter, then you're advocating for the
    death of the USA, because we are a Nation of Immigrants,

    The United States was never supposed to be.

    I disagree, but things also change over time: US used to allow slavery
    and denied women rights, but these have both changed for the better.


    But keep importing the Turd World subhumans who are incapable of
    building or maintaining the things you take for granted.

    When you claim "building", do you mean like 80% of our housing
    construction?

    Or are you referring to how Trump hired illegal immigrants as scabs
    instead of US Union labor during his development of Trump Tower in NYC?

    And for "maintaining", are you referring to cleaning services, or does
    back of house food services count? Or both?

    If we were to deport all the illegals like Trump is claiming, the good
    news is that Inflation would drop by -1.5% ... but the bad news is that
    our GDP would also drop, by a whopping -7.9%, as per Bloomberg.

    FYI, his proposed tariffs policy would hit you personally too: +0.5%
    higher inflation, plus dropping GDP by an additional -1.3%. Together,
    those policy proposals add up to -1% on Inflation and -9.2% on GDP.

    and it has been those very same immigrants for the basis for why we've
    been a great nation.

    Peak America was before it was overwhelmed by post-1965 immigrants.


    Well, if you want to go back to pre-65, then the US-Mexico border
    literally becomes open, as in that period, the US allowed in unlimited
    labor from Central & South America.

    Plus you're also historically wrong: peak per capita immigration into
    the USA was just over 100 years ago, largely from Europe: if we had the
    same rate of immigrants today, we'd be letting in ~5 million/year.

    And it happened while upholding what Trump had obligated the USA to do
    under the February 2020 Doha Accord.

    Bullshit Joe fucked up. Even the "generals" said so. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>


    Why the scare quotes around "generals"? Are these some of Trump's very

    Plus when did these leaders first oppose? Back at the Doha Accord?
    Because Doha was when the final ball was committed & put in motion.

    I wasn't there.

    Oh, so you now can't actually produce any of these "generals". Check!

    Well they don't live here.

    Oh, looks like I overlooked your weak deflection attempt here.

    Etiquette did take a hit after Eternal September (1993), but its not

    Usenet sucks. It was way more exciting in the 90s.

    Yet you're still here. Bleating & whining like all MAGAs do.

    -hh

    Yep.
    This hh assclown is a massive idiot.
    Congress never declared war during Vietnam.

    Nor did Congress declare war for Korea. Yet you keep on trying to use
    "not a war" pedantry to overlook Trump's military engagements. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    What wars did he start?


    What wars did Biden start?

    I never said he started any.


    Then why did you ask what wars Trump started?

    It's called a question dummy.

    Hypocritical double-standard much?

    No, a question.

    <crickets>

    A 'question' whose sole purpose was your attempt to defect.

    So you can't answer. Ok then.

    Incorrect, which is why you've now tried to move the goalposts to
    failing to stop wars everywhere in the world.

    I can't move goalposts by myself. To heavy.


    Which includes 65 soldiers who died in Afghanistan during Trump.

    Not a war.

    Then by your own standard, Biden's 13 losses during the final evacuation
    don't count either.

    They are dead because of his fuck up. I know you don't care. Like >>>>>>>>>>>>> Hillary said about the troops that died at Benghazi. "at this point what
    difference does it make?"

    On the contrary: while you've been alluding to them being suckers and

    What a load. People died because Joe fucked up.

    If you think its BS, stop dodging and just simply prove me wrong. >>>>>>>>>>
    Show us what other military evacuation under fire had a better ratio of
    rescues vs losses: Afghanistan had 122,000 rescued for 13 losses, which
    is a ratio of 9,385 saved for each loss. List all of those operations
    which have been so vastly better executed that this one was a 'fuck up'.

    Joe fucked up. This is settled.

    Your saying so doesn't settle diddly squat. Cry harder, "Joe". >>>>>>>
    It does. This is not debatable.

    Only in your dreams. Reality demands better.

    That leaves you out.

    So prove me wrong by showing everyone just what other military
    evacuation under fire had a better ratio of rescues vs losses.

    Who cares? They died because of Joe.


    FYI, from the COLA archives:

    No one cares.

    As opposed to you two being hypocrite.

    No wars caused by Trump.


    So? What wars did Biden cause? Also zero, right?

    I never said he did. But he sure allowed them to happen. >>>>>>>>>>>>
    Yes, Trump did certainly permit a lot of bad shit, including the ongoing

    All of them.

    Be specific, because if you're trying to refer to Israel/Hamas, that's a >>>> false claim because that conflict has been ongoing for decades.

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars:_2003?present#2020?2024>

    I wont bother. Not worth the trouble trying to knock sense into a
    liberal.

    Because you know that I've already reviewed that list before I even
    challenged you to find these supposedly "new" wars of Biden.

    So you try to shield your fragile ego from being confronted with the
    reality of truth by claiming that you don't want to pwn a libby.

    But that doesn't change the truth that you're hiding yourself from.



    For you're also being deliberately blind to how Trump failed to deliver
    on his campaign promise to exit Afghanistan.

    Joe fucked that up.

    How could Biden have "fucked up" Trump's campaign promise to be out of
    Afghanistan by the end of Trump's term? Be specific. >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Why did Biden spend his first day signing off all Trumps EOs? He could

    I made you repeat yourself.

    You bitched that I didn't reply to every time you repeated yourself, and >>>>>> now you're bitching if I don't.

    Cry a river.

    Meantime, you're simply repeating empty, unsubstantiated claims: if >>>>>> your claims had means of material substantiation, you easily could have >>>>>> done so, instead of dodging.

    You really are new to this huh?
    Plus we know that Trump cancelled a bunch of Obama's stuff, so you've
    failed to show how Biden was in any way meaningfully different. >>>>>>>>>
    Why didn't he change the withdrawal then?

    <crickets>

    Because you apparently didn't know that that it was moved back, from May >>>>>> to August, despite that action having a higher risk of escalation .. >>>>>> which is precisely what happened.


    Joe fucked up.

    But this still doesn't address the point that Skeeter is trying to avoid >>>>>> in the below, which was that Trump orders for a Dec 2020 pullout, but >>>>>> Trump then reversed that order. Care to come up with a better
    explanation for why?

    Why Joe fucked up? Ask him.


    I've read the AAR. Have you?

    No need. It was obvious.


    But don't you think that the AAR is one of those things that those
    conveniently unnamed 'generals' have reviewed before they opined? ;-)


    Meantime, why did Trump keep on changing the rules for the processing of >>>> Afghan Special Immigrant Visas? FYI, that was ruled to have been
    illegal ... back in 2019:

    Tell me about that ISIS dude in Oklahoma that was supposedly vetted by
    our FBI.

    One guy ... out of a quarter million, plus he was caught beforehand.
    Compared to the criminality rate baseline of US adult citizens, that's
    vastly better: we can literally lower per capita crime in the USA by
    increasing emigration from Afghanistan.

    Plus anyone slipping through is attributable to how Trump screwed up the
    system:

    <https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/trump-admin-broke-law-visa-delays-afghans-iraqis-who-worked-n1057846>

    ...which you've not taken exception to.


    Also note that Trump had issued orders to the Pentagon to be out by
    December 2020, but then rescinded that order. Why didn't he keep his
    campaign promise? Perhaps because he thinks his legacy would have been
    one of someone who "runs away"? Or because since there hadn't been
    adequate planning done, military losses then would've been even worse?

    Cry a river. What does that have to do with now?

    It illustrates how Trump could have met his campaign promise but >>>>>>>>>>>> chickened out. Trump is terrified to be ever be seen as weak, which is
    why he's easily manipulated by that personality flaw.


    He is speaking somewhere everyday. Twice today. Sorry but you have >>>>>>>>>>> nothing.


    His speech: "You want fries with that?" /s

    You ignore the fact that he is somewhere everyday drawing crowds. Why do
    you ignore that?


    Already did address it: Trump's team has reportedly been paying for >>>>>>>> people to attend rallies, but they get up and leave as soon as their >>>>>>>> Venmo accounts arrive. Perhaps that's why this past week Elon Musk has

    Bullshit. I watch them all. You are telling a lie.


    If true, then how many $1M checks has Elon handed out so far?
    1? 2? 3? 4? 5?

    I don't know. Not my circus.

    So when you claimed that you've watched them all, are you lying or are >>>> you so senile that you've already forgotten what happened this week?

    What happened? He was somewhere everyday, Sometimes twice a day. He
    danced and he cooked fries. So what?


    LOL, the fryer was stone cold.

    FYI, the "customers" were fake too.


    If you "watch them all", then you must have seen videos like this one: >>>>>>
    <https://apnews.com/video/elon-musk-constitutions-donald-trump-donald-trump-es-pennsylvania-9b9df1e63b504028b1c03d99846736ea>

    Edited videos?

    Doesn't change what was shown in the clip.

    So, did you know Kamala told Christians they were at the wrong rally?


    They were hecklers.

    Hecklers get kicked out of events, because they're hecklers, not because
    of alleged religious affiliations.


    And blind to how there were thousands of Trump-freed Taliban military
    which contributed to the very deaths you're claiming to be so upset about.

    But allowing crooks to cross the border and rape and kill is ok?


    Oh, look: its yet another attempt to run & change the subject! >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Nope, you just want to avoid it.

    Except for how I then confronted it head on, still quoted below: >>>>>>>>>>>>

    and? I'm supposed to believe that? Besides no matter what color they are
    they are still crossing illegally.


    Of course *you* don't believe anything that goes against your beliefs.
    But facts don't give a damn if your feelings get hurt, snowflake. >>>>>>>>>>>
    I'm not a liberal you non original halfwit.

    Yet you've still been triggered: that's what makes you a snowflake. >>>>>>>>>
    Laughing at your bull isn't triggered. Stop lying.

    Still doesn't change the fact that many border crossers are requesting >>>>>>>> asylum which makes them a legal immigrant, and this has been the law in
    the USA for the past 40+ years.


    No, you pass at a legal crossing point.

    Show us where in the law that's actually a legal requirement.

    Here's the text of the Statute - just point out that specific line: >>>>>>
    <https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-94/pdf/STATUTE-94-Pg102.pdf>

    I used to live on the border and those are the rules....

    Yet you still can't prove that it is a requirement in the law, by
    quoting the specific line in the Statute. Goalpost move inbound!

    You cross anywhere besides a legal point you are trespassing. How many
    have you taken in?


    Incorrect. One can make an arrest for trespassing, but that has nothing
    to do with immigration status ... and you've still not pointed out where
    within the law it supports your claim that it is disqualifying.

    And personally, I've initiated detention on some .. but it was because
    they were trespassing in a area closed to the public, not because of
    what their citizenship happened to be.


    Much of our border dilemma is due to decades of systemic under-funding
    of the Judicial department who's responsible to process refugee claims,
    primarily since the Refugee Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-212), which
    amended the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Bull shit. Follow the fucking law.

    This *is* following the law. Get a clue.

    I explained. You choose to ignore.

    LOL, your "explanation" was merely a partisan claim.

    Go look it up yourself to see that it is the truth. I've already

    13 dead soldiers.

    1/5th as many casualties as Trump had during his tenure. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    So that makes it ok? You idiot.

    Nope.

    Then shut up about it.

    I'm not the one who's been harping on those 13 casualties. >>>>>>>>>>>

    <crickets>


    Incorrect; it has been addressed elsewhere.

    No matter. We are right here.

    You've screamed "FAIL" without identifying any of the pre-operation >>>>>>> loss
    parameters that they supposedly failed to meet. You've tried to imply

    Case in point:

    "Across the Department of Defense, from 2006 to 2020, 5,605 service >>>>>>>> members were killed in training accidents. This represents 32% of all

    So you're blowing off those who lost their lives in the Service while >>>>>> outside of direct combat operations ... how myopic & petty of you. >>>>>
    Joe blew them off.

    The reality is that all levels of service have hazards where one's life

    Untrue.

    Nope. It's true.

    Liberal...what?

    Bail

    You certainly did.

    Bullshit Joe fucked up. Even the "generals" said so. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>


    Why the scare quotes around "generals"? Are these some of Trump's very

    Because Doha was when the final ball was committed & put in motion.

    I wasn't there.

    Oh, looks like I overlooked your weak deflection attempt here. >>>>>>>
    They don't.

    They don't...what?

    Yep.
    This hh assclown is a massive idiot.
    Congress never declared war during Vietnam. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Nor did Congress declare war for Korea. Yet you keep on trying to use
    "not a war" pedantry to overlook Trump's military engagements.

    What wars did he start?


    What wars did Biden start?

    I never said he started any.


    Then why did you ask what wars Trump started?

    It's called a question dummy.

    Hypocritical double-standard much?

    No, a question.

    <crickets>

    A 'question' whose sole purpose was your attempt to defect.

    So you can't answer. Ok then.

    Incorrect, which is why you've now tried to move the goalposts to
    failing to stop wars everywhere in the world.

    I can't move goalposts by myself. To heavy.


    Which includes 65 soldiers who died in Afghanistan during Trump.

    Not a war.

    Then by your own standard, Biden's 13 losses during the final evacuation
    don't count either.

    They are dead because of his fuck up. I know you don't care. Like
    Hillary said about the troops that died at Benghazi. "at this point what
    difference does it make?"

    On the contrary: while you've been alluding to them being suckers and
    losers (TM), I've cared enough to put their sacrifice into mission
    context of how many civilians were successfully rescued. Don't you
    remember how I've posted a challenge to all comers to go identify any
    equivalent military evacuation under fire to have had a better >>>>>>>>>>>> (casualty:rescue) ratio? Or is this another case of your selective
    senility again?

    What a load. People died because Joe fucked up.

    If you think its BS, stop dodging and just simply prove me wrong. >>>>>>>>>>
    Show us what other military evacuation under fire had a better ratio of
    rescues vs losses: Afghanistan had 122,000 rescued for 13 losses, which
    is a ratio of 9,385 saved for each loss. List all of those operations
    which have been so vastly better executed that this one was a 'fuck up'.

    Joe fucked up. This is settled.

    Your saying so doesn't settle diddly squat. Cry harder, "Joe". >>>>>>>
    It does. This is not debatable.

    Only in your dreams. Reality demands better.

    That leaves you out.

    So prove me wrong by showing everyone just what other military
    evacuation under fire had a better ratio of rescues vs losses.

    Who cares? They died because of Joe.


    FYI, from the COLA archives:

    "...if one wants to callously compare the two in terms of the >>>>>>>>>> ratio of successfully evacuated -vs- US lives lost, there were 4 deaths
    in the Saigon airlift to save 7,000 people, so Vietnam's metric was

    5x better."

    No one cares.

    You care, which is why you keep on bleating that line, despite how >>>>>>>> you've been unable to actually prove your claim with operationally >>>>>>>> relevant comparative performance information.


    Joe fucked up, that's all I need to know.

    What do they call it?

    These libbys are fools.

    As opposed to you two being hypocrite.

    No wars caused by Trump.


    So? What wars did Biden cause? Also zero, right? >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    I never said he did. But he sure allowed them to happen. >>>>>>>>>>>>
    Yes, Trump did certainly permit a lot of bad shit, including the ongoing

    What's so hard to figure out that Biden didn't start any wars either, so
    your claim has zero contrast to be relevant?

    He allowed them to start.

    And just which wars were these?

    All of them.

    Be specific, because if you're trying to refer to Israel/Hamas, that's a >>>> false claim because that conflict has been ongoing for decades.

    I wont bother. Not worth the trouble trying to knock sense into a
    liberal.

    Because you know that I've already reviewed that list before I even
    challenged you to find these supposedly "new" wars of Biden.

    So you try to shield your fragile ego from being confronted with the
    reality of truth by claiming that you don't want to pwn a libby.

    But that doesn't change the truth that you're hiding yourself from.



    For you're also being deliberately blind to how Trump failed to deliver
    on his campaign promise to exit Afghanistan.

    Joe fucked that up.

    How could Biden have "fucked up" Trump's campaign promise to be out of
    Afghanistan by the end of Trump's term? Be specific. >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Why did Biden spend his first day signing off all Trumps EOs? He could
    have changed that too.

    Why did Trump spend his first weeks signing off on EOs that undid
    Obama's works? FYI, one of these eliminated an SEC based fiduciary
    responsibility on your Investment Broker when he gives you advice.
    This could be why you've been whining about not being as well off today.


    and he runs from the question and a BUTWHATABOUT

    Cry a river.

    Meantime, you're simply repeating empty, unsubstantiated claims: if >>>>>> your claims had means of material substantiation, you easily could have
    done so, instead of dodging.

    You really are new to this huh?
    Plus we know that Trump cancelled a bunch of Obama's stuff, so you've

    Why didn't he change the withdrawal then?

    <crickets>

    Because you apparently didn't know that that it was moved back, from May
    to August, despite that action having a higher risk of escalation .. >>>>>> which is precisely what happened.

    explanation for why?

    Why Joe fucked up? Ask him.


    I've read the AAR. Have you?

    No need. It was obvious.


    But don't you think that the AAR is one of those things that those
    conveniently unnamed 'generals' have reviewed before they opined? ;-)


    Meantime, why did Trump keep on changing the rules for the processing of >>>> Afghan Special Immigrant Visas? FYI, that was ruled to have been
    illegal ... back in 2019:

    Tell me about that ISIS dude in Oklahoma that was supposedly vetted by >>> our FBI.

    One guy ... out of a quarter million, plus he was caught beforehand.
    Compared to the criminality rate baseline of US adult citizens, that's
    vastly better: we can literally lower per capita crime in the USA by
    increasing emigration from Afghanistan.

    Plus anyone slipping through is attributable to how Trump screwed up the >> system:

    <https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/trump-admin-broke-law-visa-delays-afghans-iraqis-who-worked-n1057846>

    ...which you've not taken exception to.


    Also note that Trump had issued orders to the Pentagon to be out by
    December 2020, but then rescinded that order. Why didn't he keep his
    campaign promise? Perhaps because he thinks his legacy would have been
    one of someone who "runs away"? Or because since there hadn't been
    adequate planning done, military losses then would've been even worse?

    Cry a river. What does that have to do with now?

    It illustrates how Trump could have met his campaign promise but >>>>>>>>>>>> chickened out. Trump is terrified to be ever be seen as weak, which is

    He is speaking somewhere everyday. Twice today. Sorry but you have
    nothing.


    His speech: "You want fries with that?" /s

    You ignore the fact that he is somewhere everyday drawing crowds. Why do
    you ignore that?


    Already did address it: Trump's team has reportedly been paying for >>>>>>>> people to attend rallies, but they get up and leave as soon as their >>>>>>>> Venmo accounts arrive. Perhaps that's why this past week Elon Musk has
    added a $1M per day 'random' petition signers lottery prize.

    Bullshit. I watch them all. You are telling a lie.


    If true, then how many $1M checks has Elon handed out so far?
    1? 2? 3? 4? 5?

    I don't know. Not my circus.

    So when you claimed that you've watched them all, are you lying or are >>>> you so senile that you've already forgotten what happened this week?

    What happened? He was somewhere everyday, Sometimes twice a day. He
    danced and he cooked fries. So what?


    LOL, the fryer was stone cold.

    FYI, the "customers" were fake too.


    If you "watch them all", then you must have seen videos like this one: >>>>>>
    <https://apnews.com/video/elon-musk-constitutions-donald-trump-donald-trump-es-pennsylvania-9b9df1e63b504028b1c03d99846736ea>

    Edited videos?

    Doesn't change what was shown in the clip.

    So, did you know Kamala told Christians they were at the wrong rally?


    They were hecklers.

    Hecklers get kicked out of events, because they're hecklers, not because >> of alleged religious affiliations.


    And blind to how there were thousands of Trump-freed Taliban military
    which contributed to the very deaths you're claiming to be so upset about.

    But allowing crooks to cross the border and rape and kill is ok?


    Oh, look: its yet another attempt to run & change the subject!

    Nope, you just want to avoid it.

    Except for how I then confronted it head on, still quoted below: >>>>>>>>>>>>

    Fun fact:
    most crooks smuggling fentanyl across the border are US citizens.

    Yea right.

    Need cite? Here ya go, luzer:

    and? I'm supposed to believe that? Besides no matter what color they are
    they are still crossing illegally.


    Of course *you* don't believe anything that goes against your beliefs.
    But facts don't give a damn if your feelings get hurt, snowflake.

    I'm not a liberal you non original halfwit.

    Yet you've still been triggered: that's what makes you a snowflake.

    Laughing at your bull isn't triggered. Stop lying.

    Still doesn't change the fact that many border crossers are requesting
    asylum which makes them a legal immigrant, and this has been the law in
    the USA for the past 40+ years.


    No, you pass at a legal crossing point.

    I disagree, but things also change over time:  US used to allow slavery and denied women rights, but these have both changed for the better.

    Most blacks should be slaves, and women should never have been emancipated,
    let alone given the vote.

    But keep importing the Turd World subhumans who are incapable of building or >> maintaining the things you take for granted.

    When you claim "building", do you mean like 80% of our housing construction?

    Or are you referring to how Trump hired illegal immigrants as scabs instead of
    US Union labor during his development of Trump Tower in NYC?

    And for "maintaining", are you referring to cleaning services, or does back of
    house food services count?  Or both?

    How about keeping your lights on and your water running?

    If we were to deport all the illegals like Trump is claiming, the good news is
    that Inflation would drop by -1.5% ... but the bad news is that our GDP would also drop, by a whopping -7.9%, as per Bloomberg.

    I don't care.

    FYI, his proposed tariffs policy would hit you personally too:  +0.5% higher inflation, plus dropping GDP by an additional -1.3%.  Together, those policy proposals add up to -1% on Inflation and -9.2% on GDP.

    Tariffs should cover the difference between wages and environmental policies.

    and it has been those very same immigrants for the basis for why we've been a
    great nation.

    Peak America was before it was overwhelmed by post-1965 immigrants.


    Well, if you want to go back to pre-65, then the US-Mexico border literally becomes open, as in that period, the US allowed in unlimited labor from Central
    & South America.

    Only during certain periods. And we didn't give them "asylum", welfare, or "pathways to citizenship".

    Plus you're also historically wrong:  peak per capita immigration into the USA
    was just over 100 years ago, largely from Europe:  if we had the same rate of
    immigrants today, we'd be letting in ~5 million/year.

    We let in too many Eastern Europeans, Irishmen, Italians, and Jews.

    Certainly seems that way. It is ironic to see folks complain about high costs who nevertheless then choose to vote against their own financial interests by supporting the candidate who's promised to raise their
    daily living costs *and* to raise their personal income taxes. Golly,
    its almost as if their true motivation has nothing to do with their
    personal finances but something else (eg, bigotry).

    And for receipts:

    Higher daily living costs = due to Tariffs, labor deportation.

    FYI, the latter is being projected to at least double the price of milk,
    as major shortages are expected because in some dairy states, their
    local councils have estimated that 80% of their workforce are illegals.

    Higher taxes = average of +$1200/year for incomes < $360K/year, which is delineated as follows:

    Income ---- taxes
    $0 to $28.6K: +4.9%
    $28.6-$55.1K: +3.6%
    $55.1K-$94.1K: +2.5%
    $94.1K-$157.5: +2.0%
    $157.5-$360K: +0.8%

    $360K-$914K: -1.2%
    Above $914K: -1.4%


    I'm not voting blue so no worries.

    The same thing she has done for the past 4 years.
    Make a mess of things.

    Oops.

    Did it mention Trump?

    Yes, of course it listed Trump's tax plan too.

    In fact, Trump's tax plan numbers are still quoted above.

    They show that his plan is to screw everyone who earns <$360,000/year
    with higher taxes, to create yet another tax cut for the richest 1%.

    FYI, here's the original cite again, so that you can snip it again as
    you pretend that you didn't see or read it:

    In the meantime, start tightening your belt for when Trump's 2017 TCJA
    rates expire 14 months from now, because no matter how hard you may try
    to blame that hike on anyone else, the GOP & Trump own absolutely 100%
    of this 3-4% hike in marginal income tax rates.

    Oh, and your Standard Deduction allowance? It will be cut in half too,
    from roughly $30K MFJ to $15K...and once again, that's 100% GOP+Trump.

    MSM supporting Trump?
    Are you crazy?

    Things like adding an apostrophe to Biden's statement to protect him from
    his garbage comment?
    Things like deceptively editing Kamala's CBS interview to make her look less dumb? (Impossible BTW)

    Things like lying to protect Joe Biden's poor mental health?
    The list is endless.

    You are daft if you believe the MSM as a whole is protecting Trump.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/trump-false-claims-schools-transgender-surgeries-rcna170217

    “Can you imagine you’re a parent and your son
    leaves the house and you say, ‘Jimmy, I love
    you so much, go have a good day in school,’
    and your son comes back with a brutal
    operation? Can you even imagine this? What the
    hell is wrong with our country?” Trump said
    Saturday at a campaign rally in Wisconsin, a
    vital swing state.


    https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/04/politics/donald-trump-fact-check-children-gender-affirming-surgery/index.html

    “Of course everything in this statement is
    false,” Dr. Meredithe McNamara, an adolescent
    medicine physician at the Yale School of
    Medicine, said in a Monday email. “Of course
    surgery of any kind happens in a qualified
    medical center and not in a school. Of course
    parents are the medical decision-makers for
    their kids, especially when it comes to
    gender-affirming care.”


    https://www.advocate.com/politics/moms-for-liberty-thankful-for-trump-school-trans-lie

    On Saturday afternoon, Donald Trump held a
    rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, where he
    repeated a claim he first made at an event
    hosted by the anti-trans school board group
    Moms for Liberty: that youth were being
    given sex-change operations at school and
    sent home as a different gender. This claim
    is entirely false — schools do not have the
    resources, doctors, or legal authority to
    provide medical gender-affirming care, much
    less surgeries. When asked about the claim,
    Moms For Liberty founder Tiffany Justice
    acknowledged that it was a lie, but said
    she was thankful to Trump for spreading it.
