War in Ukraine

Has Xiden sent blankets to the people of Ukraine yet?

Just German helmets

Talk about black and white - the economy was not in tatters. the recovery was well underway as evidenced by the rebound in GDP. Same for employment. The stock market had already recovered and was continuing to climb.

Are you serious? The supply chain, shipping, raw material and the printed money that lead to inflation all started on Joes inauguration day?

I didn't blame trump for those things, that was Covid - but to suggest it didn't and doesn't continue to heavily impact the economy is non sensical.

Messed up the post

I feel like I would like to expand my Caribbean travel horizons . I say we go take Cuba. Maybe restore it to the good old days. Isn’t that how all this works?

Such a lie nothing about justification

He did not praise the invasion or justification but the tactic

Wrong. Vladimir Putin gave a public justification for this latest Russian incursion into the Ukraine, and Donald Trump described it as being "genius."

 

[Majors]

At least one didn't knowingly irreparably destroy his own electability because he couldn't control himself from tweeting like a 12 year old girl. What kind of person does that?

Come on man! Had you had the same energy for Biden and his racist history years ago like you do tweets we may not be in this mess. That’s malarkey

 

[VolInNW]

The fact that a camera was rolling saved that lady’s life. The russian military has no problem murdering civilians and violating the law of armed conflict routinely. It’s just what russians do.

He lives in an alternate reality where Trump is smart.

Such a semantical word game and you hear only what you want to fit your ideological narrative

See bolded - I did not claim any of those things.

I disagree with your assessment that those things = an economy in tatters. By most measures the economy was and is in good shape at the time of Biden's taking over. Somethings have improved and others have gotten worse. Some were the product of policy, some were the product of longer term causes.

I know Team Biden likes to claim the economy was in tatters when they took over but that is no where near an objective assessment of the situation.

I guess you believe in unicorns also.

A Ukrainian pilot got ahold of a MIG-29 and is taking out the fuher's planes left and right. racked up 6-7 kills already. they are calling him the "Ghost of Kyiv".

This is so badass. This pilot is going to have a movie made about him.

 

[luthervol]

Jesus Christ we are still crying about mean tweets? FFS, our country going to absolute **** and we are still worried about feelings over substance.

I too find that flabbergasting.

Joe shutting down fuel options, forcing people to lose their jobs if they didn’t get vaccinated, and encouraging shut downs due to the virus surge is what messed up the economy.

What are you 12 years old playing Your It?
I haven’t spent 3 days in here screaching about Trump
****ing nauseating repetition

You could also point out that the bulk of the supply chain issues has been caused by the lockdowns that have been pushed by the leftist. I’m not saying that Republicans didn’t partake, but again the Democrats took it to a whole new level

That's more an indictment on the Biden voters that they valued tweets over results and policy. Weird flex

I view it as 100% an indictment on Trump.

Then you didn't pay attention to the rest of my post, I can't imagine being so myopic as to believe that any of the administrations operate in vacuums. Was the economy moving forward when Trump was beaten?

Yes.

In the same way a car that's out of gas rolls to the bottom of a hill.

Don’t disagree but wouldn’t the out of control deficit spending from the last admin be driving the inflation we are seeing, at least in part. The market was booming under Trump and GDP was rising, but seems to me that it came at a cost.

Not an economist or expert by any means, but seems logical.

Things are getting serious.

demonstrating your inability to separate objective analysis from your Trump hate or desire to own Trumpers.

I hate to break it to you, but tweets were the last of Biden voters concerns. Not really sure where this revisionist history started where the only thing Biden voters didn’t like about Trump was social media or character flaws. Those were the last of our problems with him, just the easiest to make fun of.

Such a semantical word game and you hear only what you want to fit your ideological narrative

Would substituting the word "explanation" for "justification" satisfy you?

Here goes ....

Vladimir Putin explained his reasoning for this latest Russian attack against the Ukraine, and Donald Trump described Vladimir Putin's explanation as being "genius."

Better? LOL.

Absoutely - I never mentioned any particular party or POTUS was to blame - just pointing out that characterizing the economy as being in tatters is a "black and white" view that misses the objective reality
