    I don’t care whether you do our not.

    Keep your parochial blinders on for all I care.

    The rate of inflation has dropped to near pre Covid levels, and interest rates are sure to follow.

    That isn’t happening in other countries.

    BTW, If you’re going to post backup, live links are customary here.

    Sorry if proof from reliable sources bother you. FACTS can be pesky things.
    Inflation has dropped because its an election year. If Biden is elected, expect him to get inflation sky high again. Expect it to keep going down if Trump is elected.

    Why do you care about inflation in OTHER countries? Do you have dual citizenship somewhere?

    You are incorrect. Religious people would never liken any man to jesus. I see Dems filling big venues and getting big crowds to cheer for every word. How is that different?

    Trump’s core message has been to appeal to white resentment and bigotry.

    He made “politically correct” (always referred to by right wingers with a scowl), go away.

    And replaced it with open race baiting and vitriol.

    Sorry, but I have first hand experience to the contrary.

    Being popular and leading a cult are not the same things. Dispite your attempt to falsely equate the two.

    No Democrat ever fell for a scam like Q, or bought lies about stolen elections. Nor did they assemble in a mob as useful idiots in Trump’s insurrection scheme.

    They don’t wear ridiculous costumes or put offensive and vitriolic signs on their lawns, either.

    But Trump cultists do.

    1) Inflation never stops
    2) Yes, some people are hurting but the reasons are not political.

    It’s a small percent of our oil that comes from federal land, and tiny compared to what’s coming out globally.

    Yet trump doesn't fill a venue like the Dems. It looks like they are criticizing their own reflection.

    2022 was when Biden set all the policies that sent fuel costs skyrocketing. He never rescinded them. They still all apply. There were reports of Russia invading Ukraine in 2022. Does that mean it no longer exists in 2024?

    Biden told us that. Or maybe it was the cabbage patch doll speaker of the house.

    Thank God for Biden. Please pray with me that God give wisdom to President Biden to lead this country.

    God Bless America.

    And those same polices have resulted in a 10% reduction in real terms of gas prices at the pump compared to Sep 2019

    OK . you have a point, after 3-1/6 it is not Former President Trump’s fault what is going on in today’s economy. After all it takes 2-3 years for WH policy to impact economy. And what is going on today is not President Trump’s fault.

    But

    What was going on in 2021 or 2022, are they direct impact of Trump’s policy? Shall we compare US economy 2021-2022 vs 2023-2024?


    Impact of Trump’s Policy

    2021

    Inflation 7%
    Gas Price: $3.01

    2022

    Inflation: 6.5%
    Gas Price: $3.95

    Impact of Biden’s Policy

    2023

    Inflation: 3.4%
    Gas price : $3.52

    2024

    Inflation: 3.2%
    Gas Price : $3.41


    Well the number speaks for itself.

    He has no interest in facts. just like all MAGA they will find articles which back up their alternative reality and they stick with them. As many have pointed out, today US is producing more crude oil then any time in US history. But they completely ignore those because that doesn’t fit their MAGA world’s narrative. I say f$$$ them. They are just background noise. Let them complain about “ how America became 3rd world country, how America is going down the hill, and American no longer resemble the way it used to be” . Those are all background noise. The only thing we need is to ignore them and go vote. Not third party because “ joe Biden is too old” , not independent no label party because “I am too good to vote for lesser of the two evil”. We just need to make sure we vote and don’t let these MAGA ever occupy WH. We have the number, they don’t.

    God doesn't exist and Dem control does not improve the lives of the poor and low income. Praying is still more effective than Dem control. Look at California!

    I see a lot of trump-like behavior from his opposition. Unfortunately, he is an accurate reflection of the average American on both sides. We deserve him. Sad.

    Correct. Combined with high taxes and Dem control. CA also leads the nation in poverty and is swimming in debt.

    Earners and businesses are fleeing the state. Having abundant resources only makes the results more inexcusable.
