United States Biden administration policies and actions - megathread

[LordsFire]

I see. It's more plausible, but it involves Clinton coming out of retirement just to play second fiddle. And she's not exactly a spring chicken. And it seems like an odd play to alleviate Harris's unlikability by pairing her with what I think even Democrats agree is the least likable candidate they've fielded in decades. If Clinton simply wants to boost the ticket it's probably best done from the sidelines; does it really matter where she's standing when she pulls the strings? If she's doing it for the power and prestige of second place, that I have a harder time buying.

I suspect it's Hillary trying to make another play for taking the presidency. Just because Hillary wants to do that though, doesn't mean the Democrat Party will let her. They already gave her a shot, served it up through dirty-dog party politics, and she lost to Trump.

But are they willing to risk turning up suicided?

The funny thing about suiciding people is when they decide they are dead anyway, they will amd will try to take whoever ordered them dead with them.

The clintons built their power base during the 1990s, its been 30 years that power base is slowly eroding if only because of people retiring and dying of old age. While powerful that power is slowly getting lesser and lesser with the year.

Clintons are also getting old as well and their kids seemed to have mostly avoided politics

Yeah but the kids are corrupt POS too. And they don’t have to be directly involved in politics to screw with the average American.

Biden is ending his first year with the strongest economic track record of any president in the last 50 years, according to an unnamed analyst.

Thanks to the COVID-19 recovery. Generally speaking, Democrats are much more likely to get elected when times are bad, possibly because their economic message resonates more with voters when times are bad than when times are good.

The economy performs better under Democratic US Presidents because the US economy has more room to grow under their watch since they are much more likely to enter office when the US economy is struggling in comparison to Republican US Presidents, who are much more likely to enter office when the US economy is still in good shape.

I doubt that Hillary wants to be seen as a two-time loser. This is similar to why Al Gore didn't run again in 2004 in spite of him having excellent odds for the Democratic nomination that year had he indeed choosen to run back then.

9/11 might not have been an inside job, but what you claim is the reason we invaded Iraq is not even close to the excuse used by Bush and co.

This is part of why the public has been increasingly distrustful of civie and military leaders; we know they will lie to and misrepresent things to the American public in order to justify armed conflict. Which is something the US military has done multiple times, including lying about why the Maine exploded to justify war with Spain.

And the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 that dragged us into Vietnam for the next decade.

And as long as the RINOs remain in control of the GOP, the Democrats don't need to win; they just need to prevent another Donald Trump from throwing a wrench into their controlled opposition.

What would your ideal Republican Party look like? Something that takes its platform from VDARE.com?

Thanks to the COVID-19 recovery.

Umm...

First off, learn to reply to multiple posts in a single post. It's poor forum etiquette to be multi-posting like you are above.


Second, Biden has wrecked the post-Covid recovery. Inflation alone has been horrible, the price of gas and food spiking has been rough, and he's just generally been a disaster.

Like basically every other Democrat President.

I'll try to remember from now on to multiquote. Sorry about that.

And Yeah, Biden has been screwing up with inflation. That I will admit.

I thought you were joking about this in a sarcastic manner when I first read your post. Then I realized you were serious.

WHAT Covid-19 recovery?

As for when Ds or Rs get elected...that's complete tripe.

Obama came in a bad time, but his recovery was purely anemic, and only got back on track when Trump took over and opened up the economy by removing government road blocks to business (regulations and tax cuts).

Sure, Covid dropped the hammer a bit, but all Biden had to do was get the hell out of the way. However, he chose to destroy and remove anything related to Trump and THEN go stupid with spending. Biden has single handedly turned a booming economy into a train wreck that will likely result in the largest destruction of wealth this country has seen since the Great Depression.

In fact, the reason the Rs are doing so well in polling right now is DIRECTLY related to the health of our economy...well, lack of health that is.

Look at job creation since January 2021.

Look at job creation since January 2021.

To do this comparison right, one also needs to look at labor force participation* and note the outside factors.
Chief among them that the feds and state governments spent months prior locking down the country and closing businesses. Those lockdowns becoming loosened and things recovering to a lower point than they were before such measures is not a credit-worthy 'recovery' (if one at all considering the other factors like inflation and cost-increases on basic goods the like that have ramped up over the same period).
