Never. Except that time he said the economy was going to crash. Late 2016 or so.  Good thing no one listened to him. Neither did you. Now shut it.

His reasons were sound but thankfully Trump had guardrails in place. He won’t this time. 
 

I will be shutting it. Off to Europe!

Paul Krugman, 1998- “ The growth of the internet will slow drastically…….by 2005 it will be as relevant as the fax machine”.  Lol.

So cheaper gas would be a bad thing? 

3 bucks or 3.50 would be fine.

89 cents would be catastrophic

I don’t think anyone thinks that’s happening, so nonsense.  A reasonable increase in line with historic norms for gas would be fine. Not the jacked up prices thanks to Biden.

[Hardcore troubadour 15,433]

Anyone think both sides will claim victory? 

[Engorgeous George 2,331]

I think that by the end Biden will sound like Robert DeNiro doing his Max Cady speaking in tongues thing as he drowns,  and Trump will channel Admiral Stockdale just shouting "Lock box" every three seconds.

 

Tim will be in Europe expalining to any stranger he can buttonhole how Biden won.  The stranger, not understanding English/California-American will wonder why the obese Amerrican has his finger in his buttonhole.

 

Some Wag heere will edit my post so it says , not buttonhole.

Not to interrupt your sob fest, but they’re not really “jacked up”. Not according to historical data anyways

Adjusted for inflation it's even cheaper, actually about the same as it was in 2019.

Yup.

Of course it goes up over time.

But unless it’s some huge spike outside of the norm, it’s pretty meaningless.

You did see such a spike in ‘20 and ‘21, as with everything else, but now it’s back down. Good job Biden!

For a Party of personal responsibility...they sure do blame everyone else for their problems.

Another right wing lie.  This is not true.

And of course this begs the question, if this debate is so unfair and one-sided, why did Trump agree to its terms?

He had to because Joe had him bent over a barrel!

 

 

But also:

Joe Biden is a senile old fool

and

Trump is a master  negotiator

Confidence. Now why did Biden ask for so many stipulations? Crickets.

[Strike 5,545]

CNN did an interview today with one of Biden's top advisors and asked if Trump "deserves" a handshake.  Nope, no bias there.

Because Biden wants to have an honest and respectful debtate on policy and not a circus where Trump gets to bully everyone.

Constantly interrupting (which is a bullying tactic) does not make any debate respectful.

[MDC 7,427]

You can’t get credit for being confident enough to walk into the lion’s den while also sobbing about how unfair it is. I’d respect Trump for doing it but he’s clearly just making excuses in case the debate doesn’t go as he’d hoped. It’s his signature move.

That is a disconnect that Trump's supporters don't see for some weird reason. 

And this "Dementia Joe" narrative/meme that has been trotted out Biden destroyed in The State Of The Union Address and should do so again since expectations have been lowered by this constant airing of the misleadingly edited and out of context video clips.

Trump wants the debate even though he's put on the defensive by the liberals who are running the show. They have him cornered. "Accept our terms or we will scream to the heavens that TRUMP doesn't want to debate."

He's focking manning up and saying "fine". That doesn't mean he is not allowed to have an opinion on the matter and express what is going on.

Why bother watching when we know both guys are just going to utter one after another facile generalizations and thought-terminating cliches?
