Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Flap]

So in your mind, if I'm not pissing and moaning about someone it means I support them?

You live in a strange bubble of your own insecurities.

They've been backing moronic POTUSes since the days of Bush Jr. They have to pretend that their leaders are competent, ethical people so it surprises them when we don't pretend that about people we grudgingly voted for.

Is she the woman from fried green tomatoes?

[Seran]

Seems like just yesterday Seran was telling all of us we had to personally thank Biden because oil prices dropped a whole 1%. I wonder if he'll come along now and tell us we need to personally thank Biden for increasing gas prices to levels not seen since 2014. Of course not. He'll find a way to blame this on Trump or Republicans.

It's amazing really how Democrats can actually look at their life and finances and realize they are way worse off now than they were 2 years ago under Trump but they'll still insist Biden is the best president ever.

7% inflation in one year? Poor people earning 30k a year effectively lost 2100 dollars since Biden has been president and will continue to lose that 2100 dollars a year for the rest of their lives. But hey, Biden and the Democrats gave us all a one time only 1200 dollar stimulus check so it all evens out! Then there is the matter of Biden killing 3 times as many people as Trump did with his failure of handling the China virus.

Where precisely are you getting your numbers from? Core inflation at the end is of the year 2021 sat at 5.5% year over year, high and nearly triple what the Fed see's as healthy long term inflation. Yet this isn't a record, not since the double digit inflation seen in 1979 and 1980.

Real wages for the most of working America is up, up a staggering amount and its outpacing inflation.

Retail: 8.4%
Food service, administration: 18.4%

So while your Republican spin doctors might be screaming doom and gloom, the average worker is making more than they were before with inflation indexed. With unemployment sitting under 4%, an American seeking a job can find one as job openings far exceed available workers.

Workers who cannot work, or choose not to work are suffering that is true. Inflation against a fixed income or welfare only benefits hurts, but since when have Republicans cared about that? Build Back Better was set to rollout new safety net programs, which have been derailed by two democrats and all of senate Republicans. So while you may want to land the poor suffering on Biden, it's in fact Republicans which are preventing their relief.

Don't think I've seen many Democrats praising him, in polls or online forums.

But you. You must see it everywhere. Lol

Afster, have you met Seran yet?

Republicans are digging holes in the road to a more equitable recovery, then telling everyone it's the Democrats fault for being powerless to stop them from doing it.

Then there is the matter of Biden killing 3 times as many people as Trump did with his failure of handling the Fauci virus.

Fixed.

Remind me who has the majority in the house and senate? Who's in the Whitehouse?

[Seran]

Remind me who has the majority in the house and senate? Who's in the Whitehouse?

And if you reread my post you'll see exactly where the problem is 50 Republicans and 2 Democrats stalling any progress whatsoever.
