The Official Thread Dedicated to "Biden Destroying Us"

What an embarrassing joke the Dept. of Jackasses and Jello has become. Plenty of manpower to try and frame Trump and his associates; no time to track down thousands of rioters and vandals who destroyed billions of dollars in property and killed dozens. Plenty of time to investigate and arrest those at the January 6 protests; no time to investigate governors who killed thousands with murderous Covid policies.
 
I doubt Dementia Joe is going to make it another 6 months. We then get someone even less qualified.

It should spell the complete demise of that party for a considerable time.

I dunno, selling 66% of America on the idea that they're racist homophobes so they need to vote for Democrats seems like a winning strategy when they're the party that counts the votes.

I trying to think positive,but it's probably just a work of fiction what I'm envisioning.

The other vision is numerous states being done with this fake union.
 
That's going to be a legendary American **** show. You can't polish that turd. Nobody likes her. Wait until she gets real power.
Quit being racist.
It'll be the same plan as Bomma, any criticism will be deemed to be racism AND sexism. Double shot, if you will, obviously.

 
Everyone talking about the stock market and ignoring the true warning signs.


A top party pollster and senior adviser to the Biden political team is urging Democrats to confront the problem of rising prices — which she says is starting to bite with voters.

Driving the news: Celinda Lake, who polled for the Biden presidential campaign and still advises Team Biden, told Axios that worries about inflation are coming through loud and clear in both public polls and her own focus groups.
  • "Women voters are really experiencing it, because they're always more focused on kitchen table economics, microeconomics," Lake said.
  • "The key target vote in the 2022 election is going to be non-college-educated women ... because they are the most undecided."
Lake said Democrats can't afford to ignore the inflation issue or hope it goes away; they need to tackle it head on.
  • She's advised Democratic elected officials to make clear to voters that they understand their lived experiences of higher costs of health care and daily goods — and that they have ideas for how to make the cost of living more affordable.
The big picture: While the Biden administration has consistently argued that price increases are only short-term, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has revised her inflation expectations. She said in June inflation could reach 3%.
  • Then last week, after June’s Consumer Price Index showed a 5.4% increase, Yellen told CNBC the U.S. economy will see “several more months of rapid inflation,” which would put annualized inflation well above 3%.
  • "I think over the medium term, we’ll see inflation decline back toward normal levels," she said.
President Biden insisted again tonight that price increases are temporary.
  • "The vast majority of the experts, including on Wall Street, are suggesting that it's highly unlikely that long term inflation is going to get out of hand," Biden said during a CNN town hall in Cincinnati. "There will be near-term inflation."
  • Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who has warned about inflation since January, also met with White House officials last week.
  • Despite his concerns, Summers told Axios he doesn't think the $1.2 trillion "hard" infrastructure package being negotiated in Congress will increase inflation.
Between the lines: The White House has subtly altered its communications strategy on inflation in recent weeks. It's gone from mostly avoiding the issue to confronting it directly with coordinated talking points.
  • Biden's top economic adviser Brian Deese tweeted Monday that the administration's approach to competition policy "will lower costs for families."
The other side: The good political news for Biden is that voters aren't yet directly blaming him for rising costs.

Lake and two other Democratic pollsters told Axios that voters are still mostly attributing the higher costs to pandemic-related supply chain problems rather than an overheated economy caused by Biden overspending.
  • That view is bolstered in public polls. Some 27% of respondents in an Ipsos poll said they blamed COVID-related supply chain issues for rising prices.
  • And while inflation might rise the rest of the year, Democrats are more confident it will be retreating in the fall of 2022, when voters head to the polls.
Be smart: The White House is trying to co-opt the inflation charge and argue that Biden's economic proposals will reduce it in the long run.

  • “If we pass the other two things that I want to get done we will, in fact, reduce inflation,” Biden said on CNN.

I attended college beginning in 1979, and by 1981 I was taking upper-level economics courses. Economists as of 1979-1980 simply could not figure out why the nation was suffering 10%, 11%, 12% inflation. I wager a lot on this forum don't even remember those times.

Milton Friedman had been warning for years that uncoupling the dollar from gold, accompanied with massive government spending that we saw in the 1960's with the "war on poverty" and Medicare, simply overwhelmed the economy with one good and drove its value into the toilet - the dollar. Think of the dollar as just another good, like apples or mufflers. If the supply of apples or mufflers increases substantially, with no concomitant increase in the demand, the relative value or cost of apples or mufflers falls and will fall significantly if the supply increases substantially.

How do we measure the increased cost of apples or mufflers? By comparing how much of a fixed value - dollars - it takes to acquire the product. Now if instead the supply of apples and mufflers remains the same, but the supply of dollars increases massively with no concomitant increase in production elsewhere in the economy to offset that increase in the supply of dollars, the value of the dollar falls compared to the value of apples, for example.

That is known as inflation, and is triggered by massive increases in the money supply when the government "monetizes the debt" by simply borrowing while pouring trillions of unbacked dollars into the economy with nowhere for the money to go, since production has not changed. The ONLY reason the United States does not experience runaway inflation, 30% or more, is that following Bretton Wood in 1948, the dollar is the world's currency. As a result, the overall supply of dollars in the world economy is so MASSIVE that the production of even three or four trillion dollars will not trigger inflation.

When we get to six, seven, eight trillion unbacked dollars, the supply increase effects the value of the dollar, driving it down - i.e., inflation. If the dollar ever stops being the world currency - no, WHEN the dollar stops being the world currency since the change always happens with the decline of empires - then we will see devastating inflation.

Also, "backing" the dollar with gold will not solve the problem. Some pretty cool research has shown that in fact the dollar's value remains somewhat consistent compared to the value of gold. We tend to believe that during problematic economic times, the "value" of gold increases, but I think what happens instead is that the value of the dollar falls so it takes more of those to get the same amount of gold. The value of gold has not changed; the value of the dollar has simply declined.

When inflation gets to be greater than 4% or so, interest is going to move up. Interest rates are generally inflation plus 3.5%, so 4% inflation = 7.5% interest. That obviously adversely affects the housing market, a huge engine in the economy, as home loans go from 2.6% fixed 30-year, to 5% for 30-year, cutting out a large segment of borrowers.

Government almost invariably reacts by spending more money because politicians are among the stupidest people ever to walk the earth.

Press conference and Ginger Goebbels talking about the White House staff and vaccines:

REPORTER: Okay. And do you have a count or can you offer any confirmation to us on the percentage of employees who are vaccinated?

PSAKI: I’m not going to provide that. I will see if there is more information to provide.

REPORTER: Can you offer any guidance then on how you’re confirming vaccination status of employees?


PSAKI: Well, they’re vaccinated here in the White House Medical Unit, for the most part.

REPORTER: Two questions: One, this administration has long claimed that you’re trying to be the most transparent in history. If that’s the case, why won’t you just release the number of breakthrough cases that you’ve had of vaccinated staffers?

PSAKI: ... [Biden impression, mouth moving, sounds coming out, not a single useful syllable in the bunch].

REPORTER: But why not just provide the number? Are you trying to hide something?

PSAKI: No, but what is the — why do you need to have that information?

How many in the White House vaccinated? NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

How many vaccinated have caught the lab-made Chinese flu? NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, WHY DO YOU NEED THAT INFORMATION?

White House: Get the vaccine!

And ******* idiots wonder why Americans don't blindly follow the government edicts.

If women are the key swing demographic (because of inflation), then it makes no sense to encourage or want Donald Trump to run again in 2024. He just has destroyed his ability to gain in that segment of the population. I just know too many women in my own circles that just can't stand the guy.

I've said this since November. Trump can be a great ally to winners in both 2022 mid-terms and 2024 presidential election. But if he runs again, Democrats will win the White House is 2024. I would certainly vote for him if I had to (although I am not going to vote for him in the primaries), but I'm already an entrenched Rep. voter for the rest of my life based on what the Democrats now stand for. I just don't see enough swing voters switching sides compared to 2020.

I haven't posted much around here in some time. I am certainly drifting apart from the majority because I am not in agreement over Covid Vaccines, Electrion Fraud and even Climate Change (to some degree). Those topics have been dominating the conversation, and I'm just not going to argue with people about that stuff.

However, I DO want change via elections very badly. I hate the Democratic platform on almost every issue. I hate the way this country has become so victim-class, segregated, and constant shame analysis about our country's past. I hate the way we have become a society of "equality of outcome" over "equality of opportunity".

I recently had a vacation and visited Monticello. The amount of "slavery guilt" that was pushed down my throat during my brief walkaround of the grounds was sickening. It pretty much dominated almost EVERYTHING you learned about. We have gotten to a point where society is so worried about pointing out our past sins, that we can't even talk about the positives anymore. There is even a segment that doesn't even want to ACKNOWLEDGE our successes because they just care about making people feel shame at our past. It's horrendous.

How anyone in this country thinks we still don't talk about race enough is mind blowing. Race is everywhere. I would venture 8 out of every 10 news stories that get some in-depth analysis are about race and/or a specific victim class. I can't watch the news anymore. It's not good for my mental health. I'm trying to stay away. Less news. Less social media. But I am also a glutten for punishment when it comes to wanting to know what's going on around the world. I want the bare minimum with NO opinions from my news and I really can't find that anywhere. I've removed the USA Today App from my phone (they went to a pay service now). I'm using AP News app instead but there are still way too many liberal slanted opinion pieces floating around that try to suck me in. Even if I just want to scan the headlines, we all know how they edit headlines to create a narrative.

I think I'm kind of stuck right now waiting for my chance to vote again.

And the vaccine absolutely prevents you from ever contracting the China flu.

I'd vote for a can of spoiled spam, a stuttering, meandering imbecile unable to state a cogent thought, with a diseased ***** as a running mate, over Joe Potato.

Wow, looks like I actually described the potato-in-chief.

Not one scientist or doctor has ever said if you get the vaccine you will never get the virus ever. Not one.

Yet somehow in the 1930's when the nation was a lot closer to the time of slavery, the rates for black divorce and illegitimate births was about the same as whites'.

Interest rates are not going to 7% anytime soon, probably not within the lifetimes of many of us.

It's not the 1970s anymore. We've been off the gold standard for 50 years and the US no longer runs trade surpluses, so a higher percentage of dollars are leaving the country now.

The US exports much of its inflation to the rest of the world via our trade deficits, and the world reinvests much of those dollars back into US debt markets, keeping pressure on rates.

Inflation has been a conservative boogeyman for decades now. We finally get a little bit of it due to supply side disruption, and it's somehow the fault of government spending.

It will be an afterthought by next summer, and you guys can find something else to complain about.
