The Obama Admin says "you're welcome."

Like was said in 2008. Repubs drive us into the ditch, dems get us out, and then repubs ask for the keys back. Now that repubs have the keys, let's see how long it takes for them to find another ditch and steer into it.

reply

Are they insane? Do Rethuglikkkans really thinkkk that this all from T-rump's disgraceful first year in Office? Seriously?

reply

Yeah, not real sure. Unemployment skyrocketed from 5% to 8% in Bush's last year before January 20th, 2009. Then when Obama took over it continued from 8% to 10%, and they tried to blame it all on him.

Then it goes from 10% back down to 5% during Obama's two terms, but when it hits 4.9% they believe it was done by either Trump, god, or both. Insanity probably isn't far off.

reply

And don't forget - under Obama, when it was spiraling downward ( a good thing) Rethuglikkans reminded us those were 'fake numbers' and it really meant people had 'given up looking for a job' so they were no longer actively looking - and weren't being counted.

So it's the same under T-rump, I imagine?

reply

Perhaps you can share which Obama’s policies turned the economy around? Oh that’s right his policies of higher taxes. Pushing healthcare costs up 500%. Obama’s words “1% economic growth the new norm”.

Reality sucks doggie boy. Obama is one of the worst presidents in history. And the economic turn around is directly attributable to Trump pro business pro American policies.

You should go educate yourself before you come back. Your ignorance is embarrassing.

reply

Want to start with saving the auto industry?

That's the one Mitt Romney (and the rest of the Rethuglikkkans) said 'let Detroit go bankrupt!' when GM, Ford, and Chrysler asked the government for $25B in loans in the Fall of 2008, after slugging through the worst car sales in decades thanks the Bush administration.

Proud to say President Obama and the Democrats refused to let that happen, and vowed to save hundreds of thousands of American jobs and revive the auto industry - which he did. And every dime of that $25B was paid back.

reply

Did GM ever pay back the bailout?
In fact, GM did not repay the loans with money it earned from selling cars. Instead, GM repaid the TARP loans with money it withdrew from another TARP fund at the Treasury Department. The day before the GM story broke, Neil Barofsky, the government TARP watchdog, testified before the Senate Finance Committee.

Stock market keeps falling like it did today Borris. T-rump isn’t taking credit for it - no mention in his Tweets. Why?

reply

stocks went up due to Trump.

How did DJT make stocks go up?

reply

Remember the good old days.

reply

remember when we had freedom and no inflation?

reply

Yes, I remember 2015.

reply

2015 to 2020. them were the days. Trump did an amazing job lowering the gas prices too.

reply

2015 Obama was president. And it's the last year of no inflation. Gas prices were also lowest in 2016 - again, when Obama was president - and ROSE for two years after Trump took over before starting to fall towards a new dip in 2019 - before it shot up again in 2020. If you look at trends, this means that gas prices were more or less stable until they started rising in 2020.

reply

the last year of no inflation was in 2020, thats when Trump was President.

gas prices went up when Trump took office because of the failed policies of Obama. as seen in this graph. the price of gas went down when Trump was President.

also according to this graph, the price of gas started going down in 2020. not sure where you are getting this data from. source?

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=emm_epm0_pte_nus_dpg&f=m

also you can see in this same graph. the price of gas started skyrocketing in Feb 2021. this was the direct result of Biden shutting down gas and oil leases and shutting down the keystone pipeline. in which 70,000 people were directly and indirectly affected. basically your dementia patient is terrible for the safety and well being of America. Joe also said he wanted to transition away from big oil. I am sure you have forgotten all this.

its been 2 1/2 years now and we all are waiting for Joe to BBB. when does this start?

reply

when does BBB start and when are the democrats going to stop climate change?

reply

When we had an administration who put the American people first.

Now we have a pantshitter who can’t screw us over fast enough.

How did Trump's gun grab put Americans first? https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-12-26/pdf/2018-27763.pdf

reply

Thank you President Trump for putting America first.

reply

I agree the idea of "America first" seems very pro USA and great. I bought into that Trump rhetoric for the 2016 election and I proudly voted for Trump. I had no idea about the intricacies of international relations, especially with America being so powerful on the world stage. Problem is, Trump didn't either. Trump made our allies very wary of America and they did not trust us when he was president. That is not the way to handle world affairs. I realize that now but I don't think Trump ever will.

The MAGA platform that Trump keeps spouting is just more rhetoric from someone who doesn't understand how government is run and is so narcissistic that he won't listen to advisors who do know how government is run. Trump is not good for our country as he claims he is. Not by a long shot.

reply

so basically, you want to keep the status quo and make no changes to put America first? Biden is America last and no one really seems to care. Trump exposed all the hypocrisy and corruption in the World. thats why repubs and dems dont want him back in office.

the status quo says its ok to give billions while condemning Trump when he wanted 5 billion for border security. dems were against wasteful spending but now they have no problem giving away money. I have literally been repeating myself on this subject since the Obama years.

reply

The office of the presidency hit a new low today with Biden falling on his face and shitting himself for the 37th time.

Most mentally capable president evar.

Meanwhile Democrat inflation continues to spiral out of control with only one solution in site. To cancel all Democrat debates so they don’t have to talk about their complete incompetence.

That was 8 months ago. Inflation has dropped steadily since then, see my link. Try to keep up with the times, sparky.

reply

Must be why the fed is still looking to hike rates a half point. Because Biden fixed inflation. Lmao!

reply

The fed wants it to get ask the way down to 2%. Fact is it has taken from 9% to around 4%. It relations to be seen if the Fed think it will fall to 2% fat enough with the current rates or if they will need to raise a bit more.

And that's the federal reserve. It is up to them to control inflation. The president didnt cause inflation and doesn't really have the power to fix it.

all thanks to President Putin and his inflation reduction act...

Everything was Booming the first 3 years of Trumps presidency thanks to Trump policy.

Then we had the scamdemic used to force Democrat mandated lockdowns on free people and small businesses, then and Democrat stimulus spending which set the table for record inflation. Add Biden policy implemented day one to shut down oil production and you have the perfect inflationary cyclone bomb.

Now Democrats and their lemmings think they can take a victory lap because inflation increases have leveled off slightly for a few months thanks to Republicans taking over congress.

The shitting president and his lemmings don’t know their dirty diaper from their elbow.

reply

Democrat mandated lockdowns? Lockdowns were worldwide, and in the US they were mandated by the government in charge - which was Republican at the time.

As for the stimulus packages - which started under Trump to alleviate for the pandemic - would you rather be WITHOUT those stimulus packages? Sure, there'd be less inflation - but you'd be worse off. And since you haven't noticed, inflation is GLOBAL. And has hit many Western countries far worse than the US. Biden's policies have been very effective at mitigating inflation - which does not mean no inflation or negative inflation - that would require nothing short of magic - but less inflation. Which still means more inflation than there used to be, but less than what it would have been with less sensible politics.

As for Republicans "taking over congress", I don't know where you got that from. They got a small majority in the House of Representatives, but the Dems still hold the Senate. This means that Republicans will be more effective at stalling in the House, but on the other hand their majority is so slight that it's going to be really hard for them to pass any purely Republican policies - which is just as well, since they don't actually have any. All they live for is shooting down any bills proposed by Democrats, regardless of content. And when Democrats do get bi-partisan bills passed, Republicans take credit for it - even if it's only the Democrat parts of the bills that do any actual good.

For the past 40 or so years now, Republicans have sucked at everything other than PR. They make the rich richer and the poor poorer, but poor Republican voters still hail them as veritable saviours, because patriotism. Republicans sell themselves as the "America first" party, as the "law and order" party, as the "American values" party, and people like you believe them. You actually believe them.

Lyndon B. Johnson was right: "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." That sums up GOP politicians' platforms very well, and Trump took it to such a level as to make it look like a caricature.

reply

Yes Democrat party lockdowns that were pushed by the Democrat media party.

CA, NY and MI lead the way. All Democrat states. Portions of CA that were more conservative ignored the Democrat mandates. The Democrat party and authoritarian globalists are the same thing. They all pushed for lock downs.

I understand you love the Democrat party, unfortunately your revisionist history isn’t going to fly here.

I wouldn’t go quoting Johnson, one of the worst presidents in US history. Vietnam. The welfare system that destroyed the black family on purpose and is huge party of why we are where we are today. Plus he was a racist POS. So popular he got crushed by Nixon.

The Democrat party is not only incompetent, they hate the country. They hate the flag, The constitution, the people, and our traditions. The biggest shitholes in the country have been run by Democrats for 60 70 100 years. They have zero track record. Hence why they never cite any accomplishments.

Congratulations on your lemminGPT 1500 words of nothing response. Always entertaining when someone can stretch out “orange man bad” for 1500 words.

Just who do you think you're going to fool with that twaddle? It was Trump's own people who advised the lockdown. And why? Because amazingly, Trump didn't fill his cabinet entirely with a bunch of chimpanzees, his withdrawal from the WHO notwithstanding. Republicans only spoke against the lockdowns when it was politically safe to do so. Which meant 1) blaming Democrats for Trump's policies, and 2) only complaining about measures when they themselves had no power to do anything about them. Bear in mind that Congress at that time had the exact inverse power balance of what it does today, ie. a Democratic majority in the House and a Republican majority in the Senate. And on a state level... well, guess where the death tolls were the highest? You'd expect the concentration to be around densely populated areas, which was indeed the case... but you had an unnaturally high death rate in the MAGA belt - where Covid conspiracy theories were the most firmly rooted. Had you lot had the sense of a door stop, you wouldn't have perished in such high numbers.

CA, NY and MI lead the way. All Democrat states. Portions of CA that were more conservative ignored the Democrat mandates. The Democrat party and authoritarian globalists are the same thing. They all pushed for lock downs.

Yes, indeed. Like I said, the red states which by all rights ought to have sailed through the pandemic owing to their lower population density, you see the MAGA states having a disproportionately high death rate per capita. While California had 256 deaths per capita, the neighbouring state of Arizona is at the very top of the list, with 455 deaths per capita. And before you point out that Katie Hobbs is a Democrat, let me point out that Arizona's State Legislature has been solidly Republican since 1993.

I understand you love the Democrat party, unfortunately your revisionist history isn’t going to fly here.

Let me guess: you think the Democratic Party is on the left, right?

I wouldn’t go quoting Johnson, one of the worst presidents in US history. Vietnam. The welfare system that destroyed the black family on purpose and is huge party of why we are where we are today. Plus he was a racist POS. So popular he got crushed by Nixon.

As a racist, he would know what he was talking about then, wouldn't he?

The Democrat party is not only incompetent, they hate the country. They hate the flag, The constitution, the people, and our traditions.

I know that's what you conservatives tell yourselves whenever you have a circle-jerk together, but you are allowed to think for yourself, you know. Here's a hint: when someone is trying to convince you that the "other side" is EVIL and hate all things good, you're being brainwashed. And it is working particularly well, it seems, since it is your favourite president who actually tried to overturn the Constitution, and even directly spoke out about doing so, and you guys never batted an eye. Because it's the "demoncrats" who are against the Constitution, dontcha know. Oh, but you're not getting brainwashed. Nosirree!

The biggest shitholes in the country have been run by Democrats for 60 70 100 years. They have zero track record. Hence why they never cite any accomplishments.

To quote Trump: "The economy does better under the Democrats." That's what he said in 2004, before he had any reason to suck up to Republican voters. And lo and behold:

As for what you said about the biggest shitholes in the country... I think if we asked a more sane person, we would get a very different answer.

Congratulations on your lemminGPT 1500 words of nothing response. Always entertaining when someone can stretch out “orange man bad” for 1500 words.

Nice strawman. It makes about as much sense as if I had levelled the exact same accusation against you. But that's your go-to retort, isn't it? "Oh fudge, he called my bluff. What can I say in response? Think! Think! Oh, I know: Always entertaining when someone can stretch out "orange man bad" for 1500 words. Hah! Was he even talking about Trump at all? Doesn't matter."
