JC Political Thread - For All Things Political Part 2

[Immortality]

Hell, can you post anything of substance other than leftist propaganda?

Playing the smoke and mirrors game is tiresome, and the establishment are very good at it. So good that you play along with it. Where's the mention about Biden's incapability to stand a trial due to his mental state?

The economy was tanking, and with inflation at 9% is was failing fast. Guess what? They decided to pump a little more oil stabilising the economy but not before the lasting damage was done... The working/middle class hip pocket.

What is it the bad Orange man keeps saying?

Look mate, I must apologise. Now I know where you are coming from, I've thought it over and finally understand it.

Your Messiah talked about it, but Biden did it. Trump talked about making the economy better, pumping more oil but Biden was the one that actually did it. Sounds like that is what Governments/Presidents are supposed to do, make decisions that improve the situation.

So I can understand how you feel, you've been let down and must take that anger out on others.

It is so sad that you focus on a few numbers in isolation but ignore the bigger picture. I'm sure there are institutions that can provide you with help, all you need to do is ask.

Just imagine being compelled to sit in a court room and listen to two women repeatedly referring to yourself as "the orange turd."
And one of them is your lawyer!

Could be worse - Imagine if they call you Von ShitzInPants....

Apparently we aren’t allowed to see such shenanigans, might encourage a terrorist attack or something. .

EEK, you can't see MSNBC on YouTube in Australia, but we can here in NZ? I find it hard to believe that MSNBC would block their own channel in Au.
What is your government protecting you from that it it so afraid of? The truth?

You could try searching for " Lawrence O’Donnell explains how Donald Trump’s lawyer Susan Necheles attempted to mischaracterize Stormy Daniels’ description of Donald Trump " or maybe this link to MSNBC itself might work for you ... https://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word...nge-turd-during-stormy-testimony-210625605606

Annual inflation % is the second number.
Note what happened after January 2021 and that's why the above polling results are the way they are.

Calling bullshit. You're full of crap, while you misquote and cherry-pick to sensationalise your own source whereas what that very same source really said was...

Key Takeaways

• The U.S. inflation rate shows the change in prices year-over-year.
  The inflation rate responds to different phases of the business cycle as the economy expands and contracts.
  The Federal Reserve uses monetary policy to control inflation and keep it at or near an annual target of 2%.
  In 2022, inflation reached some of the highest levels seen since 1981, hitting 9.1% mid-year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  Inflation came down in 2023, ending the year at 3.4%.

What Is the Inflation Rate?


The inflation rate is the percentage change in the price of products and services from one year to the next. Two of the most common ways to measure inflation are the Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). The CPI measures the change in prices paid by U.S. consumers over time, and it is the most popular way to gauge inflation.45


The year-over-year (YOY) inflation rate is calculated by subtracting the value of the CPI at the beginning of the year from the value at the end of the year. The result is then divided by the CPI value at the beginning of the year and then multiplied by 100 to get the inflation rate percentage.

What Is the Inflation for Each Year?


An average rate of inflation can be calculated for each year:


In 2023, the average rate of inflation was 4.1%.
In 2022, the average rate of inflation was 8.0%.
In 2021, the average rate of inflation was 4.7%.
In 2020, the average rate of inflation was 1.2%.

By looking at the inflation rate each year, you can gain insight into how prices changed and how events around the globe impacted the average U.S. consumer.

As to the first link (yet another dog whistling vright-wing YouTube channel, begging for subscribers to get above the 100K mark) because the American people really are still buying all those "election fraud" lies in 2024 aren't they? That must be why The Orange Turd only got 78% of votes for the Republican nomination in Indianna last week as just under 22% of Republicans there voted for Nikki Haley, a canditate who pulled out two months ago.


Keep flogging the dead horse marty351, perhaps when the maggots within hatch they can cause it to levitate.

There was already a bill passed last year just for the border but for some reason that escapes memory... Oh that's right, the senate didn't do anything about it. Or was it something about adding more debt for no good reason.... !

Wrong again. Very wrong. The bill which was negotiatied over several months and passed through the Senate was NOT passed by the House as the Speaker refused to bring it forward, on Donald Trump's orders. Get some facts in ya before gobbing off numbnuts!

There once WAS a Meurican member, can't remember his name. He used to live in Darnald Trump's rectum. Perhaps Marty351 is (besides being a Fomoco lover) his long lost half brother to his cousin once removed?

I reckon that if @marty351 is so impressed with DT and the USA, that he should migrate to the US. Then, just maybe, he’ll find out just how welcoming the US is to foreigners.

It's fairly sad how America (or certain parts of America) treat immigrants seeing as it's a nation built on immigrants.

Where and by whom are these immigrants being treated poorly? Is it the illegal immigrants treating each other badly? Or is it the criminal cartels trafficking children/drugs/weapons?
Or is it the FBI/DHS warnings that they've got nfi how many terrorists are now freely roaming the countryside?

Nah. I'm just spouting ultra-far-super-mega right wing bs and everything is alright .

What is your government protecting you from that it it so afraid of? The truth?

The government is protecting itself from us. Keep us stupid and under thumb and they can get away with murder, graft and corruption.

Also pays to prosecute the whistleblowers too so us plebs learn to STFU when we see wrongdoing going on.

It’s a bipartisan effort! About the only thing both sides agree on!
