    Can Trump say the same?

    It will never be said that Trump received millions from China, Ukraine, Russia and a host of other countries without providing one single product in return and
    all the while being employed as a public servant.
    That would be Joe Biden and his crime family.

    'New images add to documentation of family's close financial ties to
    Chinese interests'

    One serious problem we face in the US is that we have eliminated the
    concept of Truth. Either side has been known to use the tactic, first introduced by Joe McCarthy; however, the far right certainly uses it
    more effectively. The flood of bogus "information" and accusations
    come so fast and furiously that we no longer have any metric by which
    to discern truth from noise.

    Joe Biden wasn't a great president. He was reasonably honest...
    comparatively speaking, of course. (Compared to the Donald, he
    sparkles like a diamond stud in a pig's arse.)

    We will have to come together around a middle, moderate path, or we
    will implode into anarchy and civil war. I am not optimistic. I
    believe that the implosion is imminent.

    Like corn in a field I cut you down,
    I threw the last punch way too hard,
    After years of going steady, well, I thought it was time,
    To throw in my hand for a new set of cards.
    And I can't take you dancing out on the weekend,
    I figured we'd painted too much of this town,
    And I tried not to look as I walked to my wagon,
    And I knew then I had lost what should have been found,
    I knew then I had lost what should have been found.
    And I feel like a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford
    I'm as low as a paid assassin is
    You know I'm cold as a hired sword.
    I'm so ashamed we can't patch it up,
    You know I can't think straight no more
    You make me feel like a bullet, honey,
    a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford.

    Biden has always been a centrist and he campaigned on being a centrist
    and bringing calm and order back to the country.
    Post election, Biden went far left.
    Extremely far left in fact.
    So once again Chris Ahlstrom you show your partisan ignorance as he most certainly
    did a bait and switch regarding what America elected him, a centrist, to do.

    <https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/547475-whats-really-behind-joe-bidens-far-left-swing/>

    ""What’s really behind Joe Biden’s far-left swing? ""

    ""Joe Biden may not be the doddering old fool that a lot of ungenerous right-wingers claim he is — but he didn’t get elected because we thought he was a “woke” progressive either. So why is he acting as if he is?

    He ran for president promising he would end the chaos and temper tantrums of the Trump years. He said he would bring moderation to the presidency and that he would unite the country. So far, he has done the opposite. Instead of bringing Americans closer
    together, he’s doing a pretty good job of driving us apart.

    He talks a good game about unity and compromise — a message that the equally woke media have happily promoted — and that works with his fellow Democrats, who would embrace just about anybody whose name isn’t Donald Trump. But Biden also is good at
    pandering — kissing up to the progressive crowd. And you get the feeling that he’s just going along for the ride. That he’s being pulled to the left by the ideologues on his team — the ones who fly below the radar but, seemingly, are really
    running the country. And, of course, the media happily approve of that as well.

    Let’s leave aside Donald Trump’s bogus claim that Joe Biden and the Democratic Party stole the election. What is undeniable is that the election was close; Biden won only a tad more than half of the popular vote — 51.3 percent, to be exact. That’
    s enough to win the presidency, but it’s hardly enough to claim a mandate to transform the country, to repeatedly try to push through progressive legislation that half the country doesn’t want.

    You’d have every right to believe that a close election would lead the president down a path of conciliation. But instead of planting his flag on the middle ground, Biden is channeling the woke crowd, turning himself into an unapologetic progressive.
    He’s even being hailed as the second coming of Franklin Roosevelt.

    Biden is 78 years old, and maybe he figures he doesn’t have time to make minor changes around the fringes of American politics and culture. Instead, he seems to be in a hurry — in a rush to transform the country in his new progressive image. Maybe
    there’s even a psychological component to all of this: Maybe Biden is trying to stay young — and what better way than to pander to the trendy ideas of the young, the cool and the fashionably woke.

    As for bringing the two sides closer together, let’s consider what our new supposedly centrist president has said and done in the short time he’s been in the Oval Office:

    Contrary to mounds of evidence that his words and actions have encouraged migrants from Central America to head north to the United States, he has taken no blame for the crisis on our southern border — absolutely no blame whatsoever. Instead, he
    says it’s all Trump’s fault. How does this unite the country?
    He has said that governors who want to reopen their states for business and not require their citizens to wear masks whenever they leave their homes are behaving like Neanderthals. How does this bring the two sides closer together?
    He pushed through Congress a nearly $2 trillion spending bill masquerading as COVID-19 relief legislation without a single Republican vote. Other multitrillion-dollar spending bills containing lots of goodies on the Democratic wish list are likely to
    follow and very well may pass along party lines, too. How does that encourage unity?
    He has called Georgia’s new voting law “Jim Crow on steroids.” Whether you think the law restricts voting rights or simply beefs up voting integrity, what it’s not is Jim Crow 2.0 — or anything else resembling the racist, ugly history of
    Jim Crow that prevailed in the bad old days of the old South. How does comparing Republicans to racists heal the wounds that divide us?
    He said he would “strongly support” a decision by Major League Baseball to move its All-Star Game out of Atlanta as a protest against that same Georgia voting law. Two days later, the commissioner of baseball obliged. How does dragging our
    national pastime into the partisan political arena calm things down? And as former baseball commissioner Fay Vincent inconveniently asked: “If Georgia is racist, how can baseball talk of doing business with China?”

    It’s true that elections have consequences, but big decisions require electoral mandates, and mandates require big margins of victory which, as we’ve pointed out, Biden did not receive last November. If we had an honest mainstream media, one that
    wasn’t such an embarrassing ally of the Democratic Party, more Americans would understand how, in his own seemingly friendly way, Joe Biden sold the nation a bunch of malarkey with all his talk of unity and moderation.

    I recently wrote in this space that while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) lost his party’s nomination, he still managed to win the presidency — because Biden, despite his centrist promises, is doing all he can to implement Bernie’s progressive agenda
    to transform the United States. Since I wrote that and have witnessed President Biden in action, I now have second thoughts. Unfortunately, they’re exactly the same as my first thoughts.""

    Trump wins 46.1% of the

    have spoken, a clear mandate!"

    Biden wins 51.3% of the
    vote in 2020: "No mandate, a
    statistical nothing"



    Biden is 78 years old, and maybe he

    any different from Biden's?




    It’s true that elections have consequences, but big decisions
    require electoral mandates, and mandates require big margins of

    Where was Trump's "big margin of victory"?

    Good thing Trump preached just the opposite.
    Hatred, envy, we-rich-know-what-is-best-for-you.
    "Trump is a good Christian, he would never cheat
    on his wife". Seriously, that how Trumpers think.

    I earned my money by working hard instead of expecting the government
    to take care of me.
    I'm all for the government helping people in need but it shouldn't become
    a lifetime program unless something like disability etc.
    Able bodied people should earn their keep
    And BTW, tell me specifically what the left wing democrats have done
    for the blacks?

    The answer is nothing but wasting tax payer dollars on mostly useless , corrupt programs
    that don't help anyone except the people running them and their bank accounts.

    See Mayor DeBlasio and his wife for example:

    <https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2024/12/29/where-did-the-money-go-fmr-nyc-mayor-bill-deblasios-wife-has-some-explaining-to-do-n2649726>

    "McCray appears not to have kept a single receipt and cannot account for what she spent the $900 million on. Still, Thrive director Susan Herman claimed the program will now cost $1 billion every four years."

    Tell me, how does one lose $1 billion dollars?

    This is what left wing democrats do.

    Why does Biden need a defense for doing what the majority of
    American elected him to do?

    Biden has always been a centrist and he campaigned on being a
    centrist and bringing calm and order back to the country.

    You make that sound like a negative.

    Post election, Biden went far left. Extremely far left in fact.

    Like the Inflation Reduction Act that was so good even
    Republicans were taking credit for it.

    So once again Chris Ahlstrom

    Lol. I'm living rent free in crackpot's head.

    <snippage>

    No you're not Chris Ahlstrom.
    You are saying stupid, uninformed things and I am pointing them out.
    Biden campaigning as a centrist and then going far left is just one
    example of your fluent idiocy.


    Biden "going far left" is as much
    of a fiction as "Biden ruined America".

    Correct: just lies that stupid fucking knuckle-draggers like "pothole" and BlueBitch and Kremlin Girl and AlleyPussyBitch are programmed and brainwashed to
    believe and then regurgitate. How many hundreds or even thousands of times over the last four years did that sniveling coward "pothole" bleat "Biden is a disaster," without ever — literally *never* — providing any specifics? And this
    one, also a big favorite of the fake "pastor" Hartung: "Biden and the Democrats are 'trying' [sic] to destroy America." They see that (D) after Biden's name, and they start telling just the wildest lies (for what it's worth, some of you left-wingers see (R) and do the same thing).


    Record Christmas spending, preceded
    by record Black Friday spending, preceded
    by record summer vacation spending,
    preceded by record Spring Break spending.

    Liars like "pothole" only know the lies they've been programmed to repeat. They're like Chatty Cathy: you pull the string in back, and they repeat one of the same old lies.

    There has been a lot of negative sentiment about the economy over the last year,
    but that sentiment is simply not based in reality; it's based on economic illiteracy and deliberate lies. There are two reasons for the negativity. First,
    public sentiment always lags behind good economic numbers. As one example, if year-on-year inflation is high in spring and falls to historically normal levels
    in November, people don't realize it yet. The year-on-year inflation rate in October was 2.6%. But it was 3.5% in March. That's what people remember. The other problem is that the inflation *rate* falling does not mean prices fall; it
    only means that prices aren't going up as fast. The year-on-year inflation rate peaked under Biden at 9.1% in June 2022. Let's pretend that the inflation rate fell to 0% thereafter for the rest of Biden's term. That still leaves prices, which were up about 9% from the previous June, remained at that level, so fuckwits like "pothole" and BlueBitch and Kremlin Girl and AlleyPussyBitch think
    that prices are "too high," even though they aren't continuing to rise at that rate.

    The second reason is that gullible right-wingnut fuckwits like "pothole" are highly susceptible to lies, and then they repeat those lies in a right-wingnut echo chamber. Take the lies about unemployment. Lying right-wingnut influencers tell "pothole" and BlueBitch and Kremlin Girl and AlleyPussyBitch that the BLS numbers are "fake" under Biden (but not under Trump — why is that?), and then those four and other lying right-wingnuts repeat those lies to one another. Plus, those right-wingnuts just don't understand how employment and unemployment
    work. Look at the graph of monthly unemployment rate here:

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/273909/seasonally-adjusted-monthly-unemployment-rate-in-the-us/

    First, note the sawtooth fluctuations from Oct 2022 to Aug 2023. The rate bounces up and down by a couple of *tenths* of a percentage point, but it gives the appearance of fluctuating wildly. It wasn't — that's an illusion caused by
    the scale of the vertical axis. If the scale went from 0% to, say, 10%, those small fluctuations would be smoothed out in the graph. Right-wingnuts are innumerate and too stupid to understand that. Then note the steady apparently steep climb from March of this year to July. Again, this is only one half of a percentage point, from 3.8% to 4.3%. That's trivial.

    Let's look at the BLS numbers from the July employment situation report:

    _May_ _June_ _July_

    Total labor force (thousands) 167,732 168,009 168,429
    Participation rate 62.5% 62.6% 62.7%
    Total employed (thousands) 161,083 161,199 161,266
    Total unemployed (thousands) 6,649 6,811 7,163
    Unemployment rate 4.0% 4.1% 4.3%

    https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/empsit_08022024.pdf

    The right-wingnut fuckwits sputter and shriek, "B-b-but *wait a minute*! How can
    total unemployed and the unemployment rate be going up if the number of employed
    is going up? FAKE NUMBERS!" No, the numbers are not "fake". Unemployment is going up, even as employment is simultaneously increasing, because the labor force participation rate is going up. Remember: "unemployed" means not employed *but* seeking employment. If you're not employed and are not seeking employment,
    you're not considered part of the labor force.

    So why is the labor force increasing? *Because of the great Biden economy*! People who were not in the labor force ("discouraged workers") are *reentering* it because they know they'll eventually find a job, because the economy is doing
    well. That *is* the explanation.

    But right-wingnut influencers/liars tell stupid innumerate economics-illiterate knuckle-dragging fuckwits like "pothole" and BlueBitch and Kremlin Girl and AlleyPussyBitch that the numbers are "fake" and the employment situation is dire, and because they're stupid and gullible and liars themselves, they repeat the lies to one another and become convinced that the economy is bad, when in *fact* the economy is quite good.

    Here's another measure showing the strength of the economy: real, i.e. inflation-adjusted, earnings (1984 dollars):

    _Nov '23_ _Sept '24_ _Oct '24_ _Nov '24_

    Real avg hourly $11.11 $11.24 $11.25 $11.25
    Real avg weekly $382.28 $385.09 $384.66 $385.99
    Average weekly hours 34.4

    https://www.bls.gov/news.release/realer.t01.htm

    Wages are rising *faster* than inflation, contrary to the lies that the knuckle-dragging right-wingnut fuckwits are told and that they gullibly swallow and repeat.

    The numbers are not "fake." The Secretary of Labor under Biden did not fire all the *civil service* economists and accountants at the BLS and appoint Biden stooges to fabricate employment and wage numbers. The methods and calculations used in the Biden administration are the same as they were in the Trump fiasco.

    The economy is sound right now, but right-wingnut shitbag liars like "pothole" and BlueBitch and Kremlin Girl and AlleyPussyBitch are programmed and brainwashed not to accept it.




    Which of these trends are you wanting
    TrumpMusk to reverse?
