I will concede that as a person he is unlikeable, but as a leader he was solid. I get that people want to make his personal qualities more important that the outcomes, but I am just not on that boat.

We likely never know, but I am confident that once he is no longer a threat to Democrat power, they turn their weapons on the next candidate. And all of this just goes away......

Trump can make all of this go away. All he has to do is declare he is not running. Then all of these attacks will end, bank on that....

I might add that none of this has anything really to do with "law". This judge, and others, already know that anything they can get him on would be reversed on appeal (some might have to go to SCOTUS). But it is not about that. This is all about impeding him from participating as a canidate in the election if possible, but also to mar him to the fullest possible extent to sway the election. This is all about beaurocracy and the intent of government agencies and their players to interfere in an election.

I am not sure that is true, but perhaps we just see those influences differently, which would explain the disconnect. I prefer to focus in on those differences. On a few occasions Gutter has illuminated something I did not know. I find it more fun to learn than to call others stupid or denigrate the things they beleive of course, so talking to him can be something of an effort; but one that can pay off.

Oh I see what you mean, no he pointedly fomented it, and then also did not react to his mistake to reverse. I am trying to find common ground, that is what we agree on first, and then see where we diverge. So with oil understanding how you see it and then considering how I see it helps frame the conversation. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Well, to be fair it will have to hurt alot of folks that liberals pretend to care about first, before it ever reaches them. And then just like with the immigration debacle, only then......when THEY are finally hurt....will it be time to reconsider.....

Yes I did, it was his policies that have led us here, and it could have been avoided. So, there is that. Going back to oil production, price is then driven by supply and demand, but also futures (speculation etc), right?

Just curious, do you see a source for the morgage concern? Also, do you think the energy sector is driven mostly by current production or a mix of elements, that also include futures? Also, do you have an idea as to how long it takes for supply to manifest once exporation and tapping have concluded?

1) Attacking energy, but only domestic energy, which has a large footprint. 2) Infusing money into the system when inflation was still fomenting, like throwing gas on a fire.... 3) Ignoring inflation, pretending it was not real or it was transitory; this not facing it down when it was more easily controlled and also encouraging businesses to ignore it 4) Refusing to amend his policies when it was clear they were fomenting economic problems Sources: Rink Rink Rink Rink Rink Rink Now to be clear, and to oversimplify, the Fed is in the business of fighting job growth; more jobs foments inflation as well, though the impact varies..... so we should at least avoid ding things that might contribute. Biden should have restrained when he saw how his actions were feeding inflation but refused. He refused to ensure he sustained political support, he did this at the expense of the poor and disadvantaged. He made some mistakes, plain and simple, what is mostly unforgivable is his steadfast refusal to admit them and adjust his approach.

The Fed is fighting a battle against bad policy. And normally I am no fan of the Fed....but in this instance, their ability to fight off the galactically stupid Biden policy mistakes is impressive. Its not over yet, but give them credit....they were handed a sh!t sandwhich and have done a decent job. If you think spending is the only driver then you really need to read more.

How odd that a party so insistent they are for the poor and historically disenfranchised might employ policies that lead to such outcomes I mean, its not as if there is a long history of this kind of behavior.....

The entire thing in a nutshell.......

He found a way to fock himself even more Well, in theory.....if he checks the right boxes he goes free, right?

Seems like a good deal eh? Maybe.....but maybe its not....

It stands to reason I guess.

James Carville rips far-left Democrats on Bill Maher podcast: ‘Most stupid, naive people you can imagine’

I infer they now have no job, and are thus easy prey for extremists seeking to bolster their ranks.....

So if some NeoNazi sh!tbag rolls in with their own definition, and then manages to get a bunch of retarded sheep to agree, since so many agree....then we can embrace THAT version of racism? No thank you, rather than allow it because it makes us feel good, we should continue to disallow it....

Consumers Are Growing More Pessimistic About the Economy

It's a great point. And let's assume for a moment you are correct and inflation would have arisen, no matter the President. I feel that Trump would have met inflation better than Biden.

Interesting. You assume there are many permutations that can lead to disparity of outcomes, and racism is not necessarily the primary one....I think you and I can find common ground here.

The elusive Fed 'soft landing' nears. Why are Americans so mad about the economy?
