I did, I supported it, I simply denied you the silly game of pretending I said "white male". I am sure you find that disconcerting. I provided examples of what I meant, you can pretend I did not, that is for you. But ones freedom in this nation is dependant on skin color, gendar and of late....religion as well....and all of the intolerance....and violence emanates from the left..... You will not distract from the topic. Liberalism is a religion, based on intolerance, racism and hate. It behaves not unlike radical Islam. The only time I have witnessed that hate being remotely challenged...internally by liberalism...is when their Palestinian contingent supported murder and rape of children in Israel....so there is some hope I guess.

Thank you for the conversation. Inflation CAN transpire in pivotal markets almost immediately. And its stick too. Energy is the big one, its footprint is in everything....and if there is some event pretty much anywhere that could be interpreted as impacting supply you get an almost immediate reaction, and honestly its ususally overblown.......and then it takes forever for that to be wrung out of the system. You cannot toy with the energy area.....ever.....and Biden did just that..... It was a simple and critical mistake. They love to say ohhhh, no cancelling the pipeline had no impact.....the fock it didnt.....the impact was immediate....the impact was already priced into futures, and when cancelled if focked up the entire thing. It was dramatic. Its simple macroeconomics.....these companies will price it legilstive behaviors, they all do it all the time....its not new. He should have known better.

No it does not, and I will not tolerate that game. You inserted the term white male, please stop that nonsense. Now, we already know that skin color and gender are important delineators in terms of whether your opinion is valid or not. When the President makes such assertions we need to take notice, we even have journalists suggesting your skin color matters when you have an opinion. Its racist. It distinguishes Liberals. You do not hear such trite nonsense from other areas. They are not free to have an opnion, for their skin color means they should be silent. That is the implication. And where it arises that conservatives make assertions that people of color, any color, cannot have an opinion because of the matter of their skin......perhaps you and I can THEN object in unison. Until then, I might stand in some opposition to any movement suggesting that skin color is a measure of the person, I leave that to you and yours.

Maybe slightly less than 99% nowadays....

Agree on inflation and wages, though wages have lagged behind inflation. The Trump infusions did not result in inflation, that arose later after the markets started reacting to the policy changes Biden implemented. When he implemented those changes there was a immediate reaction raising a concern that inflation would result, and naturally it did. This was not exactly something that could not be predicted. Had Biden done nothing at all, it could have all been avoided. It was a mistake, but that is forgivable.....that really does not bother me. What bothers me is when it was evident that his mistakes were causing a problem, he did nothing to change course or try to mute it....instead he lied about it. And it was the lying that lets us know HE KNEW it was his fault. His immediate move is to blame Trump, for anything, which is fine its pretty normal for any President to sorta blame the last guy. He didn't do that though....did he??? He lied.....he said it wasnt happening...that means he either truly didnt understand economics at all....or he knew and wanted to hide it

I propose that rather than look for some extreme examples, which I surmise we could do all day.....we instead focus on the facts and behaviors. January 5th for me was no different than the BLM riots, let them all rot in jail.

I would not presume to label people like that. And moreover, I would hope that scientists would never allow political thoughts to cloud science. Now setting aside your immediate labelling of me as a "white male", as well as the irrelevancy of that factor..... why not just speak to the statement which did not devolve the conversation down to a single category? You apparent line of thought.....aligning political factors to scientists is part of the troubling trend that reduces people to inteangible things instead of facts and actions. Not surprising mind you, but unfortunate.

You do not seem to understand inflation well. But you raise an important point that I think most people gloss over. The wealthy are absolutely benefitting from these higher rates, no question. If in a given scenario you are unsure of motivations or who might be involved, just take a look at who won..... it can be rather helpful in sorting things out. Isn't it striking that Biden would have added on all that money into the economy when people were raising the alarm about inflation? And then for him to actively deny it, and for his experts to also actively deny what was plainly evident....for months. Who benefitted from that? Not the lower class, not the middle class....but the upper class. This seems to be incongruent with his stated positions. Now I presume you and I can agree that inflation is disproportionately harmful to those in the lower economic strata, and that it tends to benefit those in the upper. Since YOU and I know this, should we not presume that Biden knew it? That his economic experts knew it? Or are we to assume they just missed it?

We can of course agree to disagree. Liberalism supports science that feeds its social goals, not actual science. It supports freedom of choice if you are the right skin color or gender, or of the proper political tilt. Dogma is the essence of Liberalism. Any variance from its dogmatic principles results in excommunication (cancelling). The intolerance and violence that pervades leftism is absolutely akin to pre-reformation. The right has its own zealots....they just are not as militant as those on the left, today.

It really is a curious thing in general. This idea of boycotting was once a dominant weapon of the left, and rather effective. It was typically lamented by those on the right. I think companies reacted. And now try to get ahead of it. They are more afraid of leftists than righties. But when it arises that those on the right seem to be "doing it back" I think we see alot of frustrated people just tired of always taking it, now seeing it being given back and revelling in it. I try to resist participating. But I understand the compulsion as well.

Not hyperbole.....Liberalism, the modern version, behaves exactly like a pre-reformation religion....

Oh that. Yeah, modern liberalism is a religion akin to Islam....behaves almost just like it.

See, we are all set!

Because you posted it. Rather than speak to the topic, you chose whataboutism....using Trump. OK, I am 100% on board with that. I fully accept your proposal. We have a way to measure now, and when we do you will of course join the chorus....regardless of the name involved, right?

If our goal is to secure relief, then we really need the White House to sustain this gaslighting. If they do it loud and long enough, they average person suffering will absolutely vote Republican....and then we can have hope for relief.

So on your scale of grievance, how far apart are the current decendants of the two groups? Who holds a high value in terms of their victimhood, for things that never directly happened.....to them.....

It is not. It's above, in a post....to NewGirl....

Too late. That was the discussion, and you introduced Trump. So here we are. I hope Trump IS on that list, I don't give a fock about what happens to some billionaire who led a cush life.....but now you have provided that we can equate anyone on that list to Trump, thank you.

Rest assured.....if that were true....they would absofockinglutely come up with excuses as to how Biden was not as bad or Trump was worse. Its....focking....sick..... and they are everywhere....

Agree. And now, we have a quorum with those who revile Trump. We also have the standard, for anyone else on that list. This is easy for you and I. We are not religious zealots to a cause or person, such as you will find with liberals. But....when their idols are placed next to Trump, prepare to watch extravagent twisting to pretend....."well, its different....."

Sure. I am little more than bemused by it. For me watching leftists twist into knots to justify vile thoughts and behaviors while they simultaneaously assail others.....its not unlike watching a toddler blaming others for stupid stuff they have done.

Whats done is done. We now have this for Trump, it was submitted as proof of reason to hold contempt for Trump. And now we will enjoy that same level of scruitiny toward ANY others on that list, right? I mean, wrong is wrong is it not. Here is an opportunity for all of us to lock arms, and look upon them all with the same level of contempt.....right?

But, pointing out the falsehoods in the logic is ultimately racist, I think..... Remember, any notion of accountability or truth that might also tend to reflect poorly on those of color, is racist.....

Not so fast. That post is an admission that anyone on that list can now be equated to Trump. You and I both know that list is rife with folks that the person who posted would defend emphatically because they are politically useful. But now....there is an association being made toward Trump. Fine by me....now lets see the list and let the cards fall. When people use logical fallacies to substantiate their position, let them....let them hang themselves....its more effective and useful that you doing it.

I see more happening in favor of this "woke" which is actually just Marxists stealing the positive moniker around becoming more aware from the AA community. Modern Marxism is a departure from its roots because it invokes intersectionality. They throw on "woke" to hide what they really are. So yeah, there is going to be a natural stubborness when "woke"(Marxism) is sensed. This is because it flouts the things that are good.
