Last night when Joe Biden said he wanted to finish the job, did it scare the daylights out of you?

[exitseven]

Finish driving the country into bankruptcy? Finish flooding the country with impoverished , uneducated illegal aliens? Finish getting the country into endless wars? Finish starting WW3?

"NOT A JOKE"

[Red_Arrow]

Biden had no control over the pandemic rattled economy he inherited (thanks to Trump), yet major indicators show the economy is actually strong. Unemployment is low, inflation is significantly down from its 2022 peak (if sticky and ticking up in the last month), wages are up, the stock market is hitting new all-time highs, and it looks like the Federal Reserve might be able to keep the US out of a recession.

Surveys, including Gallup’s, have shown a marked uptick in economic confidence in recent months.

Americans and our allies have noted Trump's affair with Putin who has recently struck a deal with North Korea for more materials to wage war against America and NATO countries. (Putin's forces recently shoes to bomb a children's hospital in Ukraine terrorizing families and severely impacting their children already battling life-threatening diseases.) More countries are next as Trump helps Putin terrorize the region.

All of the lies out of Trump and his cohorts, including Fox, do not change the truth. We are better off with a President who stumbles than with one who is dedicated to ending American democracy and installing himself as dictator.

[exitseven]

We have already been in a recession. The democrats just changed the definition of recession to suit their purposes. The economy is not strong, wages have not kept pace with inflation. Biden is bragging about a 3% inflation rate. I suppose it is better than what it was bit still twice what it was when Trump left office. The stock market is finally back where it was before Biden took office but the person that had a million dollars in a retirement account when Biden took office saw that million dollars shrink to $750,000 and now that it is worth a million dollars again after inflation it really will only buy $750.000.
It is interesting that the democrats accuse Trump of ending democracy because it is the democrats that want to prevent American citizens from electing their choice of president. The very definition of a threat to democracy.

News item released today 12 July 2024:

"After four inflationary years, overall CPI has risen ~20%, CNN reported, and it shows in American shoppers’ weary wallets."

That doesn't indicate a better economy.

@exitseven Red arrow sounds like a broken arrow. Where was he when Biden was screwing the taxpayers?

[DryGermanGuy]

The Biden administration seems to be doing quite alright:
Quote:
Prices fell in June for the first time since the start of the pandemic

The Consumer Price Index, a measurement of the average change in prices for a commonly purchased basket of goods and services, dropped 0.1% from May, which helped to slow the annual rate of inflation to 3% from 3.3% in May, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest report.

Falling gas prices as well as a drop in new and used car prices helped to usher in the first month-on-month decline since May 2020, BLS data showed. On an annual basis, consumer prices are increasing at their slowest pace since June 2023, matching the lowest annual rate since early 2021.

@DryGermanGuy Drop in car prices? A new truck cost $60,000-$80,000. THAT is a drop in price?

[DryGermanGuy]

@Daniela1982
Even a few hundred dollars reduction have enough statistical impact on the prices, no matter how high they are.

[Daniela1982]

@DryGermanGuy Not with interest rates of 7% or more.

[Red_Arrow]

@DryGermanGuy You are right. there is definitely a drop in new and used car prices and they are expected to continue to fall. Just don't expect the Trumpers on here to understand.
"The Used Car Market Is Collapsing in 2024 - CarEdge
The latest data from Cox Automotive shows that new car transaction prices continue to fall, and with more affordable new cars, the used car market is under downward pressure. All signs point towards more price drops to come in summer 2024."
On an annual basis, consumer prices are increasing at their slowest pace since June 2023, matching the lowest annual rate since early 2021.
As for interest rates -
The better-than-expected inflation report further bolstered hopes that a Federal Reserve rate cut could come sooner than later and help make borrowing money less expensive. Interest rates have been planted for months at a 23-year high as a result of the central bank’s inflation-fighting campaign.
"With another good CPI print under their belt, the window is open for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates as early as September, and potentially again in December, assuming the inflation data continues to cooperate,” Skyler Weinand, chief investment officer at Regan Capital, wrote Thursday in a note to clients

[exitseven]

@DryGermanGuy yes inflation was measured at "just" 3%. Just a little more than twice what it was when Trump left office.

[ChinaGrove]

"Biden had no control over the pandemic rattled economy he inherited (thanks to Trump),"

What's wrong with that statement?

[DryGermanGuy]

But you do now understand that this inflation was a global phenomenon against which even a US-president has only a limited set of tools? We in Germany had the same problems and it's not that Joe Biden decides our economical policies.

[MisterWack]

Trump said Biden would get us into World War Two if reelected not too long ago also said, “We have to keep our country gay a buh buh but, its not. I mean. For some reason. Its just not GREAT anymore.”

“Take a look at the oranges… oranges… oranges of the investigation… The beginnings.”

In 2020, Trump claimed we would be in the Great Depression. A stock market crash WORSE than 1929 which I’ve been to museums of The Great Depression and saw photographs / footage…. Definitely this economy is doing quite well.

[Laciejordan]

Well, if he is unable to finish it, he has a very competent V. P, Donald Trump, that apparently goes by the pronouns "she" and "her".

[ChinaGrove]

Trump is by far the best Veep we've ever had.

[SugarSugarplum]

Finished

[OlderAndWiser]

The idea of Joe Biden having the authority to launch nuclear weapons should scare all Americans. And who do we have to thank for the cover-up that got us into this position, and now the refusal to exercise the 25th Amendment? MSM and Democrats! Thank you for this mess.

[msc545]

@OlderAndWiser The idea of Donald Trump having the authority to launch nuclear weapons scares me just as much, thanks. Both Biden and Trump are people who should not be in this position, albeit for different reasons, at least superficially.

[ChinaGrove]

@msc545 a
Trump said today that if Biden would join him, he would agree to a televised cognitive ability test in front of viewers. Biden already cowered from Trump's golf and debate challenge. Do you think Biden would agree to it?

[exitseven]

@msc545 President Tump already had the nuclear codes for 4 years. We are a lot closer to nuclear Armageddon now than we were then

[msc545]

@exitseven Just because he had them and nothing happened does not mean that in the future things will be ok.

[exitseven]

@msc545 No but a senile person with anger issues is not very encouraging to me.

[OlderAndWiser]

@msc545 At present, Trump scares every loyal Democrat; partisan politics as usual. At present, Biden scares everyone except his wife; exceptional circumstances not involving partisanship.

[msc545]

Nobody wants either of these guys to have nuclear codes.

[OlderAndWiser]

@msc545 Yes, there are plenty of conservatives who would feel comfortable with another four years of Trump.

[msc545]

I am glad someone will. I will not.

[FunkyMonkee]

I would if he meant, finish destroying the country but, I seriously doubt even HE knows what he meant!! A few days ago, he claimed he was the first female black president!!
I'm tellin' ya, man, you can't GET drugs like that, anymore!! What the fuck has he been doing, smoking Hunter's toenails?

[GeminiDiamond]

Biden is finished. About the only thing he is finishing.

[exitseven]

I will not breathe a sigh of relief until President Trump is on the steps of the Capitol with his hand on the Bible/

[ChicoFromThe305]

To be honest I have no clue what that man was blabbing about

[ChinaGrove]

No one does.

[KrakenAttackin]

Joe's puppet masters want to finish us off.

George Soros said in his book that his time working FOR the Nazis in Greece was one of the happiest times in his life. A Jewish man taking about enjoying time working for the Nazis... think about that.

Soros also talked about hating the United States and all it stand for. Soros also compared himself to a "God".

Soros is pulling a lot of the strings.

[AviatorTom]

When I heard he introduced Zelensky as Putin, that did it for me.

[AviatorTom]

... and his female VP, Donald Trump

[ChinaGrove]

Thankfully Joey had had an earpiece in, or he would have never corrected it.

[Anonymous]

by finishing the job he's just using fearmongering tactics like pushing the abortion topic to garner votes for the Democrats before they kick him out

[Dargil]

That is what he wants. Scorched earth before he dies. He wants to punish America for his failures.

[Avicenna]

Dementia Joe hates Trump supporters, so it could have something to do with them.

[ChinaGrove]

Biden keeps crying about democracy, and he can't even follow the law, or listen to the supreme court. He's the real dictator.
