President Biden thread

When no facts are presented that indicate illegal or unethical behavior, it's easy to deduce that there's currently no facts to present.  

That's because it's a sham.   Republicans have made up these bogus ideas about Biden because they don't like him, don't want him for President, and to retaliate for the sham they are doing to Trump.

Facts?  Evidence?  They don't matter.  When the "truth" comes out against Biden, it will be fake news and fraudulant.

I detect a hint of sarcasm with a mild frustrated finish.  

Isn't it interesting that some people honestly believe that all of the prosecutions of Trump are shams based in nothing but political animus? It's a fascinating phenomenon.

"The complaint alleges that the "51 former intelligence officials" statement was part of a carefully orchestrated effort to influence the 2020 election. AFL argued the Biden campaign, through key individuals, actively participated in drafting and disseminating the statement. The complaint argues that the 51 former intelligence officials' public statement was strategically crafted to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story, with the intent of aiding Joe Biden's campaign.

So the people telling lies about Biden are complaining that they think someone lied about the laptop that may or may not have been tampered with? I bet Giuliani might be able to tell us some stories about using Hunter's laptop to try to influence an election.  

LOL

I wonder, do people (in general) think that Fox News is providing good reporting and journalism because they only lied and spread misinformation about the 2020 election and the voting machine company? Is Fox a credible and accurate source for news and information as long as its not reporting about the 2020 election and Dominion? They don't lie or spread misinformation about other things because that was limited only to Trump's 2020 election loss?

We all know that liars only lie once.

It doesn't make any difference what WE think.  The only thought that matters is in the judges' and juries' heads.

No claim was made that "unbiased" sources are used.  

When no facts are presented that indicate illegal or unethical behavior, it's easy to deduce that there's currently no facts to present.  

People sometimes think something because they've heard something implied or suggested or discussed as a possibility, even though there's not really evidence to support that something. When media regularly discuss specious  theories or speculation it gives them weight they don't deserve.  Why do people believe that there was fraud in the 2020 election or that Covid might have been a plot or that Jewish space lasers might have started a wildfire?

When things get repeated people begin to think that just maybe...

Goebbel's legacy to the present day Republican party.

US inflation fell more than expected to 3.2 per cent in October, the first decline in four months, prompting Treasury yields to fall sharply and Wall Street stocks to climb. Tuesday's consumer price data compares with a 3.7 per cent rise in the 12 months to September. The 3.2 per cent figure was also marginally below expectations of 3.3 per cent.

Not only does this old candidate have a legacy and recent history of political success, he also doesn't talk like an angry despot on the campaign trail.  It's refreshing to have a president again who quietly gets things done rather than constantly bloviating about his skills and prowess that might otherwise be overlooked for lack of evidence.  

We can have it both ways.  Last year we said inflation wasn't his fault, so we can't give him credit for it dropping.

Mostly isn't it gas prices falling?  

But I wonder what those that blamed Biden for gas prices and inflation are saying, other than  what Beerman said above.

Wonder no more...

3.2 is better news.  But, of course the Administration and supporters are focusing on that one number, not wanting the masses to realize that 3.2 is just the most recent number.  It's like compound interest.   At one point this Summer, overall inflation was up 14% in the past two years.  It would be slightly higher now.

That being said, I don't put all of the blame at Biden's feet.  There was going to be some inflation coming out of the pandemic.  But, his actions have prolonged it.

 Isn't reducing the inflation rate the opposite of prolonging post pandemic inflation?
