Posts: 1370Obama left office with unemployment at 4. 3% and Trump took it down to 3. 8% at it's lowest and it peaked at 32% in April 2020 and now down to around 12% in July 2020. So 12% unemployment is better than Obama's 4%? More of that Deplorable Fuzzy Math I guess.

Every single tax bracket is paying less money in federal taxes unless you lived in a high COL location and were relying on SALT to drop your effective rate.
Lies, lies and more lies coming from Hannity or Lardball or whatever right wing propaganda show you listen to. Army Corps of Engineers has constructed about 23 miles of the wall so far. All work has been halted due to COVID. Lying Donnie's illegal executive order to divert Defense Dept. Funds has also been suspended by a Republican federal judge. I thought Mexico was paying for the wall? Another one of Lying Donnie's 15,000 falsehoods he's told so far. Promises made, promises broken is the lasting legacy of the Trump Crime Family.216 miles completed, 339 under construction, 183 in planning states. It'll be 450 miles by the end of the year.
Better check all the polling, even on Fox News, because Biden is demolishing Trump in all the battleground states by at least 10-12 points and turning red states like Florida, Texas, and Arizona into purple states that will soon be deep blue for many years to come as the young Latino voters become the biggest block of lifelong Democrats. As far as Hunter Biden, he is a cum laude graduate of Yale Law School which is one of the hardest law schools to get into. What law school did Donnie Junior and Eric graduate from? Oh yeah, they just got cushy jobs from Daddy just like Fred handed one to Donnie Dumbo with his fake Wharton diploma bought and paid for by Fred and Roy Cohn. Donnie Junior, Eric, and Ivanka would have trouble holding jobs at Walmart and Target if they were not spoiled trust fund crybabies like their Daddy is.Will not only not be President, even if he were he would probably address himself as Senator the entire time. Dude is clearly senile and is only running because his fuckup of a kid got in trouble so he had to run to claim "I'm being politically attacked". That was one of the crazier timelines I've seen.
Joe Biden is a typical 77 year old Grandpa. Mildly forgetful at times but still has a good mind to make all the right decisions. Americans of both political parties trusts him a hell of a lot more than some flip-flopping psychopath like Trump who threatens to nuke North Korea off the map one week and then the next bragging about getting love letters from his boyfriend Kim Jong. We don't need this kind of rambling scatter-brained conspiracy theorist with access to the launch codes. Put Joe in charge and we can sleep easy at night knowing we won't wake up to a country that looks like one big parking lot made of molten glass.You're fine with the dude holding the nuke codes to be forgetful because he's like grandpa? Does your grandpa also molest women and small children that are within grasping range?
Molest women and children? Trump is the rapist facing sexual assault lawsuits from over 23 women and counting. And just wait until Ghislaine Maxwell starts spewing to the Feds all the evidence she has on Dirty Donnie and his jailbait parties with Epstein in the early 90's. It's no wonder you Deplorables are so scared of her, not to mention all the dirt being exposed by Trump's niece in a few weeks. Uncle Joe's worst transgression is sniffing ladies' hair? LOL all frisky Grandpas do that stuff. You right wingers are losing your minds over Biden's surging poll numbers and it's funny to watch. Kind of like a big train wreck happening in slow motion until November. Grab your popcorn!

What they don't tell you is that Texas has 85,000 staffed hospital beds and only 4000 hospital cases of corona. (Look it up).
The total percent of corona ICU cases in Harris county (Houston) is 12.5% and Travis (Austin) is 10% so heart disease not corona is overwhelming the hospitals.
All of that data is easily available online if you choose to look at it.
You're not a bad person, you're simple misinformed by one side of the media that has an agenda. I have the same agenda, I think Trump is a fucking asshole and hope he loses in November but just like he never told people to inject bleach Texas never got close to running out of hospital rooms.

Very simple concept if you think about it.

Posts: 1011Yes! MSNBC, CNN, FOX, NYT and WaPo all have the tape of Trump pissing on horers in Vladivostok that they reported on for three years. They plan to release it on the eve of the election. But you can be ahead of them, Jimmy. Go to USA sex guide international site. Click on 'Russia. ' Then click on 'Vladivostok. ' Then click 'Vladivostok escorts. ' Once there, search for username, 'Orangeman Bad. ' That Trump's username. Then you can read of his golden shower exploits. He gives a glowing review to Svetlana and Tatyana. If you're ever over there you need to check them out. Russian chicks are hot.

Bobby needs 100 attys by 8 am in the morning, they'll be there. He wants to spend 50,60, 70 million dollars, it's all good. As I'm sure you know, if you have a SC for the DOJ investigating you, 100 Fed attys, 60 million to burn thru, they'll learn everything about you. Buckle up. "Mueller's coming. ".
You're a great Amerikan, Jimmy. Go carry a sign. Throw a brick thru someone's window. Enjoy your Sunday. *.

Posts: 1862Mass burials like we saw earlier in the NYC metro area while the Corona virus was raging are not normal. We shall see what the final tally is on December 31,2020. Hospitals beds, in parts of Arizona, Texas and to a lesser extent California and Florida are almost filled to capacity.

Posts: 1862I should have prefaced my comment by stating funeral homes in NYC area, unfortunately COVID-19 is far from done with us due to our botched initial response to the pandemic.

Yes, 120,000 people died, most WITH covid not OF covid. In the same time 200,000 people died from mistakes made in hospitals, should we close hospitals? 300,000 people died mostly preventable deaths from heart disease (they are also taking up 90% of the ICU beds) should we only allow people with a BMI under 15 to eat at McDonalds? Yes I know, people with covid infect everybody and they die, I've heard that so much that I want to puke because people die, they do it every year, SLOWING the rate of infection will not save them, SLOWING the rate of infection will only delay their deaths for a time. Until there is a vaccination whoever is going to die of covid is going to die of covid. That may sound heartless but truth often lacks compassion.
This is about the election and nothing more, that will be proven by two things
1. It will be gone as if it never existed on November 4th
2. Next April or May when the CDC published the annual death statistics for the USA the total number of dead will be nearly the same for 2020 as it was for 2018
In the third world that will not be the case because a few tens of millions of the 400,000,000 that have been forced back into extreme poverty will be dead due to covid mitigation induced starvation. Maybe Biden will get to deal with that problem maybe not, in either case the responsibility for it will be sitting at team lockdowns feet and just as they refused responsibility for the spike in cases after the protests (which I supported) they will refuse to accept responsibility for that as well. But well done you for signalling your wokeness.

Posts: 5116Lol
Where do you guys get this from? It's been an absolutely normal year for funeral directors, gravestone carvers, casket makers and body bag manufacturers. I agree that Trump is a dbag but covid hasn't killed many that weren't going to die this year already and the very, very, very few that it took young aren't even measured in statistics. 3,000,000 people die every year in the USA.

Posts: 1862Hey, it's been a glorious year for funeral directors, gravestone carvers, casket makers and body bag manufacturers. Our upcoming elections will most certainly be a referendum on Trump. We will see if the following quote still applies.

Posts: 54You mean like using executive orders to bypass the Constitution and legislation duly passed by Congress? Or do you mean massive expansion of programs that murdered brown people halfway across the world? Or maybe you mean the extra-judicial killing of American citizens with hellfire missiles because it was expedient? He wasn't for gay rights until it was politically expedient for him to flip-flop and support it, now he's all about the gays despite saying he did not support gay marriage before he was President and for the majority of his Presidency. He sure did a lot to promote *his* ideals within and outside our borders, I wouldn't call any of that American ideals. And before you bust out some bullshit, I voted for the man twice and I wouldn't go back and change it either. McCain and Romney weren't fit to be President, and their actions since Trump won have shown that out even more.

In 3 years we got the lowest unemployment and highest median income ever, we are effectively at structural unemployment levels for every single demographic that can't be lower in a non-planned economy. It took literally shutting down the country for a couple months and putting millions out of work to get back to Obama's numbers. The President isn't solely responsible for unemployment numbers, but policy definitely impacts it. We're already coming back under Obama's lowest unemployment numbers. How about replacing NAFTA, which just went live last week to 0 fanfare on the news because it's yet another campaign promise completed? How about fixing immigration, something every president for 60 years has campaigned on and failed? This is the first year we'll have less H1 B visas than the year before, something very near and dear to my heart. How about actually fighting China and making progress on their blatant IP theft? How about making other NATO countries pay their share for their own defense instead of the US solo footing the bill for the defense of Europe? How about withdrawing from bullshit treaties we had no business being in like the Paris Accord, which gave more money to China for no reason? How about actively tackling the opoid epidemic and actually making a dent in it? How about fixing some of our broken medical systems like making hospitals provide itemized bills and fixing medicare prescription drug pricing so seniors weren't getting gouged anymore? How about the largest increase in manufacturing since before NAFTA was signed? How about actually addressing issues with the VA health system, something NO ONE has done besides giving lip service about it? How about actually filling every single vacancy in the federal court system for perhaps the first time ever? How about the US being a net exporter of coal / natural gas / oil for the first time ever. We sell more oil than fucking Saudi Arabia now. There's a pretty good list of accomplishments. It should be longer, but Congress hasn't exactly been cooperative. It's a lot easier to be a negative nancy though and just say "oh he hasnt done anything" - sure.Trump has failed on both of those fronts because hardly anything got accomplished under his watch except for a tax cut that mostly benefitted corporations and the upper 5% of income earners.
As for taxes. What? The tax changes HURT high income earners in high COL locations. Every single tax bracket is paying less money in federal taxes unless you lived in a high COL location and were relying on SALT to drop your effective rate. It's a progressive system. No shit people that pay in more get more of a cut when you are talking about percentages. I am paying about $750 less in taxes a month compared to before the change, but I cap out the max SALT deduction now. My property taxes aren't even 5 figures, I bet people who live in high millage rate areas with expensive properties got absolutely railed by that change. I'm still coming out ahead, and people that make under 100 k absolutely came out ahead. The changes for S-Corps was also very needed, the previous system fucked anyone who wasn't running a C-Corp. If you had any business experience or owned property worth any money this stuff would be obvious to you, I'm guessing you are an employee somewhere and rent or own property in a low COL area. Nothing wrong with that, but it clearly colors your judgement. Or you're just trolling, that's a thing too.
Agreed here, reducing income without reducing spending is a fucking clown show. That's on Congress, not the President. They control the purse strings not the executive. Some Government 101 for you. For reference, Obama also had a tax cut during his Presidency by making the Bush cuts permanent.Besides, any time you have a big tax cut legislation it always results in major debt increases and we've seen Trump increase our national deficit by $3. 8 trillion in his four years so that blows apart any myth that Republicans believe in small government and reduced debt.
As of a couple weeks ago: 216 miles completed, 339 under construction, 183 in planning states. It'll be 450 miles by the end of the year. But sure, it's just 10 miles. For reference the entire border is 1933 miles coast to coast. Another point I love to make on the topic: Trump is the first President in my lifetime to actually do what the fuck he said he was going to do. I'll never forget watching Obama sign an order killing Gitmo (a campaign promise) and being glad that shithole was closing finally. Then Congress refused to fund an alternative, so he just fucking shrugged his shoulders and gave up and never really made a serious attempt. Contrast that with the border wall, Trump fought for 2 years to get it done through Congress and finally did it with other funds he had available. That's why he won and it's why he'll win again, he gets shit done even when it's not expedient to do so.As far as the stupid wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for, how much of it got built? Last I heard maybe 10 miles LOL.
Will not only not be President, even if he were he would probably address himself as Senator the entire time. Dude is clearly senile and is only running because his fuckup of a kid got in trouble so he had to run to claim "I'm being politically attacked". That was one of the crazier timelines I've seen.President Biden
Wages have stagnated because ever since Nixon opened up China, we have been shipping them jobs that were held by US citizens. It's not a coincidence those two events happened at the same time. I admire a lot of what Trump has done, but the best thing BY FAR he has done is untangle the US for foreign interests. Communist China is the most genocidal nation the world has ever seen, you would sell out your children for a fucking cell phone? They make our stuff dirt cheap FOR NOW, until they've stolen enough IP from short sighted corporations, then they will decide to no longer make our stuff. They need us a lot more than we need them, fortunately between Trump finally standing up to them and Coronavirus a lot of companies are seeing that putting all their eggs in one manufacturing basket was a bad idea.As far as China, we can b*tch about them all we want but the bottom line is they make all our stuff dirt cheap and that allows us to live a pampered life even as our median salaries have stagnated for 45+ years when adjusted for inflation. If we suddenly cut off China then expect smart phones to cost around $3,000 in order to pay American workers a living wage versus the $5 a day a Chinese factory worker makes.
You're fine with the dude holding the nuke codes to be forgetful because he's like grandpa? Does your grandpa also molest women and small children that are within grasping range? I'm going to guess, between this little paragraph and the rest, that you get most of your news from a mainstream media that is blatantly partisan. I'm no Fox News fan, but goddamn at least look at some other sources besides CNN / MSNBC. Democrats have gone off the deep end sometime in the past decade, Trump is more liberal than 08 Obama was and not a single thing he has done would have been a problem back then.Contrary to what some people think, I believe a President should exhibit all of our greatest ideals. When you're a pathological liar like Trump, then you're sending a message to the entire country that everyone should be OK with lying. When you call the free press the "enemy of the people" and seek help from a foreign government to win an election and try to make that seem normal, then America is just another banana republic instead of the greatest democracy on Earth. I don't care if Joe Biden is the most boring President in 100 years. As long as he tries to unite us as one nation and promote our core strengths like diversity and scientific innovation then I will gladly vote for him. He'll make a lot of corny jokes and have forgetful moments but that's the kind of lovable smiling Grandpa we all want in our lives. I certainly don't want a Grandpa like Trump who steals money out of my wallet to pay for his weekend golf trip or tell me that all my medical problems will magically disappear one day. It's blatantly clear to everyone from both parties that Trump doesn't give a shit about being a good leader for our country. He's just trying to stay out of prison because he knows the federal and NY state charges are coming and he'll most likely spend his remaining years in a concrete cell.

Posts: 1370Overall I'd rate Obama as a good President because of all the various levers of power that he used to improve our lives and also promote our ideals within and outside our borders. Trump has failed on both of those fronts because hardly anything got accomplished under his watch except for a tax cut that mostly benefitted corporations and the upper 5% of income earners. Besides, any time you have a big tax cut legislation it always results in major debt increases and we've seen Trump increase our national deficit by $3. 8 trillion in his four years so that blows apart any myth that Republicans believe in small government and reduced debt. As far as the stupid wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for, how much of it got built? Last I heard maybe 10 miles LOL. President Biden will rip all that shit down on his first day in office, so expect to hear a lot of Deplorables crying over that. As far as China, we can b*tch about them all we want but the bottom line is they make all our stuff dirt cheap and that allows us to live a pampered life even as our median salaries have stagnated for 45+ years when adjusted for inflation. If we suddenly cut off China then expect smart phones to cost around $3,000 in order to pay American workers a living wage versus the $5 a day a Chinese factory worker makes.

Posts: 392Give All Races a Chance?
Uh, I think other races besides white are involved in politics. We just came off 8 years of Obama as President. I liked the fact that he tried to tackle the monumental issue of health care. He did fine in some areas and fell short in others (as all do). He continued the 30 year trend of militarizing our police in the war on black males (oops, I meant the war on drugs), and I didn't see any sweeping drug law or prison reform. On trade, he flat sucked as China continued to flood our country with everything imaginable while blocking import access to anything but farm products and scrap metal. In the last election we had Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio representing the Latin contingent so it seems times must be changing. Couldn't really say what goes on in Donald's head but "Send Them Back" is simply the pure political exercise of pandering to his voter base. If he's as bad as you say then he'll be gone in 6 months anyway and Senile Joe can pick whatever gender and ethnicity he wishes for a partner that will appeal to the brown skinned majority. I personally could care less about the skin color of our politicians as opposed to how effective they can be.

Posts: 1370Who was singing his praises? Every Democrat from Hillary to Obama to Pelosi was calling Trump a flat out racist for many years. It mostly started with his birther bullshit on Obama, but many New Yorkers remember the ad he took out in the NYT calling for the Central Park Five to get the death penalty even though they were exonerated by the courts. And of course old school New Yorkers remember him and Daddy Fred getting busted by the Justice Department for writing C for coloreds on rental applications to their apartments. Even his own lawyer Mike Cohen called Trump a blatant racist. How scummy do you have to be to have your own lawyer destroy your character in front of Congress and a national TV audience? Think about that one.

I think the SEND THEM BACK chants didn't go over well with anyone of brown skin, either. Check your white privilege and grow a moral spine, pinhead. America is becoming a brown-skinned majority country and as a white guy I totally approve of it. White guys have screwed up this nation badly enough for 250 years. Let's allow the other races to have a shot at holding power and pulling all the strings. We'll probably get a stronger nation out of it.
