the best thing Joe has going for him is that Trump is his opponent.

He's the only option....a forced pick as an illusion of choice

i totally get your point, and tend to agree that we’re in a shitty place this election

but, there are obviously millions of people in this country that are going to choose trump regardless of anything else

well true, but those are cult members just doing as the grand wizard instructs.




the amazing thing to me is I know lots of them that are good people, people I consider good friends that in every other aspect of life are responsible, caring, kind people.....except when it comes to Trump and they turn into nutso psychos if you try to have a discussion about his obvious hate rhetoric and lies...I dont understand.

Trump is considered the worst president in American history by an important poll of historians who study the presidency. By a wide majority. We need to keep hammering that home. Biden is around 12th for the recovery post-Trump.

Pete should come out as straight.
Then, get engaged to a good, Christian woman.

If there is time, he should find one who has the appearance of a fully transitioned transsexual. With really big boobs and an oversized mouth. ( The other side seems oddly attracted to these beasts).

After the election, I am fine with him going back gay. Surely Chasten would understand that Pete was simply serving his country when it needed him most.

Biden as 12th is some strong blue Kool Aid


but, that's your drink Sparko. blue bangers got their own rhetoric and party lines too, just remember to keep that rag in the left pocket

Coming out of the pandemic, saving Ukraine, and about every measure of economic activity, and foreign policy, (save the Ous grievances) TDub. I think you'll come around eventually, but man you are a stubborn Kansan.

One guy had a bad hour. The other guy is a convicted felon and a convicted sexual offender. How is this close?

The PCE Index is projected to fall to 2.1% by fourth-quarter 2024, averaging 2.3% for the year. Supply chain improvements and falling housing prices have yet to be fully reflected in inflation numbers. Average inflation from 2024 to 2028 should dip just under the Federal Reserve's 2.0% inflation target.

US homicides and violent crime overall are down significantly, according to FBI data (imagine if there was some effective mass-shooting relief possible through SCOTUS)

I'm not smart. Can/will someone please explain to me what constitutes being unemployed in regards to the unemployment rate. I know the simple answer is - if you have a job you are employed and if you don't have a job you are unemployed but I think there must be other more complex factors that are taken in to account.
Hey, maybe it is true (and I hope it is) but I don't believe that 95% of all Black people in this country who are between the ages of 18 and 67 are currently employed. Heck, I don't believe that 95% of White people in this country who are between the ages 18 and 67 are currently employed.
If 95% of Blacks and Whites are employed, fantastic. Well, probably not so fantastic for those who are still living in poverty.

i’m guessing it would just depend on which metric is being used - whether and how much it accounts for part-time, “under” employed, and those who have chosen to be unemployed
