Well stated, my friend.

Cue the responses from right-wing fanatics that will swear all 61 court cases were orchestrated by Marxists. LOL

Sonny, Trump has huge balls, you couldn't hold one of them. If you believe he's weakening its all in your atrophied pea size brain. Since before he took the Oath of office you worthless bastards have been so fearful of him you've never stopped visciously attacking. We can smell the fear all over your sinking carcass.

Judge Larry Seidlin praised Donald Trump's manhoodb in an interview.

"Trump, whether you like him or not, has the eye of a tiger. He's got steel testicles this guy. He goes in the morning, in front of a judge to be arraigned, that same day he goes on national TV to discuss his state of affairs. Any other person charged with a crime in America would be lying in bed taking a Prozac. This guy goes on TV, and he has the strength, the fortitude to go on TV and discuss what is going on. He's blooming. He's engaged. This is the guy you want in a foxhole with you." 

Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest Nimrod. I anxiously wait your primordial scream this November.

What will be your scream when Biden wins again?

First of all, inflation is driven by the market not the president. Sorry to disappoint you but we ARE still a free market economy. So as much as I'm sure you want to blame Biden for ALL the inflation that ever happened, it's just not much of an argument.

That being said yes, inflation-adjusted wages are lower now than under Trump. What Fox conveniently leaves out is that they were also lower under Trump than they were under Obama. In fact, inflation adjusted wages have been declining for decades. I'm sure you've heard the term stagnant-wages... A term that's been bouncing around since the 80's. That's what stagnant wages means... it means that when adjusted for inflation, the wages are not increasing.

That being said... wages are only one factor of influence. The fact that personal income increased $66.5 billion is closer to the bottom line. There can be several reasons for a bottom line that defies the assumption about stagnant wages such as the decline in unemployment.


This is another ongoing trend that your trying to blame Biden for. The fact of the matter is the national debt grew under Trump too. In fact, Trump is the first president to increase the debt as much as he has without an economic recovery or a war to blame for it. Economists even started to emphasize the difference between obligatory spending (most of what Obama added to the debt was actually to pay off obligations from the Bush administration) and "new" spending, where the current government just decides to spend more. In Trump's case, it's a double whammy... He authorized more new spending than Obama did AND he cut taxes so deep that it prevented the government from covering existing expense, forcing us to borrow more.

Take a look at the article again, right under the chart it says...

A major culprit is the GOP tax cuts, enacted in late 2017. They significantly reduced government revenues. Goldwein estimated the tax cut law could account for about $1 trillion of the debt increase during the Trump years. But the impact of the law extends well beyond that, if Congress doesn’t change it. The CBO estimated the 2017 tax law would add $1.9 trillion to yearly deficits over a 10-year period.

Maybe you should read these articles through before posting them. I honestly wish you folks would, you do this all the time, you look for links to dispute my arguments based on the headlines and don't even bother to understand the details.


Yet another ongoing trend. US credit card debt has been climbing for decades too. I've been tracking the "three debts" for ages... national debt, commercial debt and personal debt and the one thing remains consistent is that national debt always has the lowest rate of increase.

So to sum this up... Any improvement or degradation by a president is going to be applied to a much bigger trend that's been going on since the 70s. So in the big picture, Americans have progressively been doing worse since then. Some presidents such as Obama (and I think Biden too) have slowed the process down a little bit and maybe even alleviated some of the pain, others such as Trump have exacerbated the problem.

I wish people would understand this more, but unfortunately, these issue never seem to hit the media unless it's tied to a political attack on a president. I'll wrap this up with an analogy...

When an obese man gradually goes from 160lbs to 500lbs in ten years, it doesn't make sense to blame it all on what he ate in the last year.

Consider Trump lucky... In a lot of other countries he would have been hung by now.

Hung for what???????

Amen to that

Non-citizens are not allowed to serve jury duty, Scooter, so it's a pointless question.


Good point... Voting isn't just about federal issues. I would offer the same answer, that I did for your jury duty question if not for the fact that unlike jury selections, there is no overarching rule that says you have to be a citizen to vote. The rules are established at each level of government for which the election is applied and there are examples throughout our history where non-citizens were allowed to vote.

For me personally, it's the same rule that I mentioned earlier. I advocate meritocracy. If you are working to contribute toward the community you should have a voice. Period. I don't give a fat rats ass about whether someone is a citizen or not. In fact I advocate for the abolishment of citizenship entirely. It's an entitlement and nothing more. Most people get their citizenship by virtue of being born here and like I said rats and fleas are also born here. So it literally means nothing.

Most criminals are in fact, citizens... that includes rapists, murders, thieves, thugs and traitors. That means that being a citizen is NO guarantee that you have any interest in defending or contributing to this country or the people in it, especially if you're a citizen by birth, because these are the people that never had to swear an oath just to be a citizen.

Short of abolishing the elitist concept of citizenship entirely, I would strongly urge that NO ONE can become a citizen without going through the same naturalization process that immigrants have to go through. Take the damned civics test that most US-born citizen can't even pass and swear an oath. THEN we can at least say that a citizen is someone who has at least promised to uphold the national interest.

Exactly you POS. How was that chanting no voter fraud? You’re nothing but a little cowardly Karen. In case Trump wins you might want to start researching assisted suicide since you’re consumed by him. 333 million is our approximate population dumba**.

Oh shut up. Who gives a rats ass what you think, say or do? You are a disgrace to America, to our sustained liberty and our Republic. You could only be allowed to survive in a weak, disintegrating, perverted America. You best represent those Jefferdon told us when he said "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants." You add nothing worthy toward the common good only evil to our destruction yet you're delusional enough to believe you're good, virtuous in fact. How easily you're deceived. When people like you, those who believe all ideas and opinions share a common value thereby promoting moral relativism, you obscure the value of objective right and wrong, good and evil. I cannot look at you dispassionately, you arouse too much anger in me, most of which, but not entirely, is righteous anger. You are a lie against the greatness that once was America. You are the corrosive destructive enemy that stirs up my military response more that my militant Christian response. You couldn't know this but the Christian Church on earth is called "The Church Militant." We're called to fight against sin, the world and Satan. You, therefore, are an enemy to both my military background and as a priest. I disrespect you with both hats.

Democrats at Berkely outnumber Republicans on the faculty by a ratio of nine to one, which is a ratio similar to that of American academia generally.  Our college institutions are graduating brainwashed and groomed young people that turn out just like you.

They know they can't beat Trump in another election; so they must not allow Trump on a ballot.

The Church Militant - as opposed to the Church Triumphant when evil is defeated in the Final Battle.

But there was an actual... Organization? Denomination?
