Uncle Joe

[Shirley]

Didn't Ford have a falling problem too? Or was that just Chevy Chase's depiction of him?

I'm not positive, but I think he only fell once. But the other thing I recall that added to the meme that he was a klutz, was that he had a habit of hitting his golf ball into the gallery frequently.

The rules are the rules.

[dolomite]

oops.

He just tripped on a sandbag, could’ve happened to anybody. Nothing snarky to say here.

I heard on CBS that Trump was informed of Biden's fall while campaigning in Iowa, and instead of jumping on the opportunity, said he hoped Biden was OK.

so...instead of contrasting and comparing the two....and doing this fun he said she said team defense thing that happens....

could we...perhaps...unlilaterally determine that they are both unfit for the highest office in the world?

I think it’s a huge leap to say Biden is unfit. He’s old. He misspeaks. Those things are both true. But his reasoning and judgment both seem perfectly sound. He seems to have plenty of energy.

if you say so

Thank youuuu. Age has not quite hit Trump as hard as its hitting biden, but he is no spring chicken either.

Most Americans try to retire by 65 right? Or younger. Why in the hell would we even consider having politicians older than this

nope.....Trump is extremely unfit to lead the country...thats pretty inarguable.

His reasoning and judgment have NEVER been sound.

Then kudos to the people pulling the strings I guess?

I’m not in love with the career politician class, generally. But his results in the big chair have been quite strong. Not perfect by any means, but he’s gotten a lot done in a very challenging environment.

He’s managed to hold the Dems together despite an unwillingness (welcome to me) to indulge the far left in ways that really matter. He’s fairly expertly created ways for pubs like McCarthy to save face (so that good-but-not-great legislation can be advanced).

Jobs are good. Inflation is slowing.

And most importantly (to me), he is restoring confidence in stable government by simply doing the job, as opposed to endless roller coasters of grand promises and underwhelming results.

339,000 new jobs added in May. 140,000 more than expected. 13,000,000 total during his tenure. President Biden is leading a historic economic recovery.

[Mjl]

Also previous months' numbers were revised upward.

On the other hand...
Similar to the Trump tax cuts, I wonder how much of this is driven by Government doing things that raise the deficit, which seems like a bad idea when unemployment is so low.

[MICHHAWK]

gas prices high. price of everything high.

[dolomite]

Yes the economy is doing so well now that
Powell will have to raise interest rates some more to try and choke the economy down.(sarcasm)

[MICHHAWK]

maybe uncle joe can ask km for some help bringing the prices down.

[jfish26]

Maybe so. Since the available evidence strongly supports the notion that what's keeping prices high is gouging/profiteering, not fundamental economic attributes. As a Reagan Republican, I assume that (like me) you would not be in favor of things like price controls or other government intervention. So movement will need to come from the private sector!

Either this doesn't say what you think it says, or I don't understand you.

Care to elaborate?

[MICHHAWK]

if km can negotiate a bi-partisan budget. i'm sure he can bring prices down.

all uncle joe has to do is ask.

Speaking of "Joe", when you look at what Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer managed to accomplish with such narrow majorities their first two years despite having to work with "democrats" like Sinema and "Joe" Manchin, it's even more impressive:
