sorry, it’s not outside the realm
of possibility that you thought it happened because of too much supply. it’s almost a requirement to be liberal, that you have no basic understanding of economics.

Well, deciphering your thoughts HAS proven to be quite challenging in the past.

If these sanctions hit hard Putin can always start auctioning-off his GOP testicle collection.

UPDATE!

Gallup

Over the course of his presidency, Biden's job ratings have fallen the most among independents, among whom 35% currently approve, compared with ratings in the high 50s to low 60s in his initial months as president.

Republicans' ratings of Biden have always been low; currently, 7% approve of him. Biden averaged 10% approval among Republicans through July 2021 but has averaged 6% since then.

probably time to hand out some more cash.....

The sad truth is that if Vladimir Putin was to give a speech at CPAC today he would get a standing ovation.

CPAC22 -- the Comrades of Putin Action Conference.

more importantly, and more realistically, what would happen if the midterms were today?

brandon apparently thinks the reason his polling is miserable and Americans don't appreciate all of the great things he's accomplished for them is because they are suffering from mental issues...not him...

good grief....

FEB 26

COHEN: What’s your message to Democrats who say that our elected officials can't deliver and so what's the point of showing up to vote?

BIDEN: Well, two things. One, I think the biggest impact on the psychology of the country has been COVID. Almost a million Americans have died of COVID and I think it’s hard for people to get their arms around the fact that we have the fastest growing economy in 40 years.

We find ourselves in a position where it’s hard to fully appreciate that when you wake up in the morning and wondering whether or not your uncle, aunt, mother, father, son, daughter who has COVID are going to be okay.

I think I recall you saying something similar about the 2020 presidential election

Meanwhile McCarthy condemns Greene & Gosar for speaking at a white nationalist conference, and tells us he plans to speak w/ them about the matter.

"To me it was appalling and wrong,” McCarthy said.“There’s no place in our party for any of this.”

“This is unacceptable,” he added.

Jim has no issue because “did they say anything racist?”

"having no issue"...and doubting the voracity of the insane bias and slant on every issue that you bring each day are two different things...I suspect he's guilty of the latter...

a complete breakdown of sanity in the culture is troubling to some Pete.

If MTG didn’t say anything racist, let’s ask more broadly…did anyone say anything remotely racist at the “white supremacist rally”?

again, if associating with known racists is so bad, how come you don’t care that Al Sharpton visited Obama in the white house so frequently?

in a related story....apparently the communists residing in and around Providence gathered the other night at the Communist Cafe and Library to celebrate the creation of Communist Manifesto and enjoy a collective reading of the historic document(no word if Bernie Sanders, AOC and Justin Trudeau were in attendance in person or on ZOOM) but they were rudely interrupted by what were reported to be Nazis banging on the window and yelling....

you can't make this stuff up...

If Americans liked Trump's policies Jim, why did he loose and for the record only some Americans liked his policies; apparently not enough to give him a second term. Oh wait I forgot, the only reason he lost is that the election was stolen, I stand corrected.

he lost because covid happened in his watch, and because people
hated his personality. which isnt unfair. he’s the most overtly obnoxious and ugly person to hold that office.

now, since you seem to deny people liked his policies, please explain why the gallup poll showed 61% of americans said they were better off after 4 years of trump, the highest any president has ever scored in that poll?

gallup does that poll every 4 years during presidential election years. he scored the highest ever.

If the gop can nominate people who will advocate for the same kinds of policies as trump, without the disgusting antics, they will be very formidable in any election.

here’s gallup’s release of the poll. trump shattered the record.

i’ve never said the election was stolen. i don’t fabricate. I’m not thoughtlessly attached to any one side, i don’t need to lie.

Tell me what you think that poll suggests. I’ll wait.

Gallup reports that 56% said they're better off than in 2016, but 56% also said President Donald Trump does not deserve to be reelected.


What the thing Jim says 2 things can be True at the same time

But feel free to think that poll gives credit to Trumps policy’s
