Did NYT Admit Biden's Corruption So Democrats Can Get Rid Of Him? (thefederalist.com)

Laying the groundwork now would make sense if that was the goal. Still, they wouldn't start proceedings until after the election and wrap up before next Congress sits.
Biden just said that sanctions are not meant to deter someone from doing whatever they are currently doing. If sanctions are not meant to stop a behavior, then what the heck do you do them for?
Deterrance has been the entire narrative since before the Russian invasion started. But since the sanctions haven't worked the narrative has to change.Quote:

Biden didn’t explain anything in that presser. He mumbled and bumbled.
Nice spin…Biden voters still refusing available jobs.Quote:

Rah Rah.
Biden has done nothing but hurt the economy and the job market; every policy the POS has implemented. Goosey doesn't really think Biden has done anything right, he's just acting stupid to stir the pot.
Apparently the US has lost the Solomon Islands.. as they have signed a secret security protection deal with China.. US is quickly losing it's standing on the global stage, by design, by these "adults"..
Biden has certainly been a disaster on the world stage. We'll be lucky if the entire globe isn't at war after his feeble "leadership".Quote:

You missed the fact that Solomon Islands cut ties to Taiwan and turned to China in 2019, you know, when your guy was president.Quote:

Again, all these facts happened before Biden was POTUS.
In exchange for severing their ties with Taiwan, China started giving them some goodies.
This is the key part of this history that Frisco didn’t bring up. Probably because they don’t talk about that part on Tucker/Hannity.
I'll play. Jobless claims are good, because jobs are plentiful. Jobs are plentiful because people are still on the government teat instead of going back to work.Quote:

Yes, the job market is fantastic. “Enhanced unemployment” expired over 6 months ago. No one is still living on that money.
Gawd, you are stupid. And people like you are just useful idiots for the globalist commies.Quote:

This is true, but unless Biden et al does something stupid...which there is a 99% chance they will!...the handouts are phasing out. People are returning to work, slowly, and that is because there no NEW handouts currently planned and because businesses have voluntarily raised minimum wages and because there have been millions of vacant positions. If, big IF, Biden et al don't do something stupid the US economy will also see a resurgence of small businesses opening, from restaurants to on-line apps to craft services (like plumbers...). The US and World economies SHOULD come roaring back, and only stupid guvmint interference could derail it.Quote:

Yes, it would be greatly helpful if the US had a functioning energy policy, and so the O&G industry job market will lag behind what it should be. But other sectors in the economy were wrecked by the purposeful demolition of it by the globalist commie bastards, with their master puppet Fauci leading the charge all designed to hurt Trump's re-election (which didn't actually work since Trump won the election but it was stolen) and now the US economy is poised to bounce back.Quote:

The government teat will always be there for those who love free crap. That and more was hidden in the trillions passed since Biden took office. Inflation will continue to overtake any progress that might be made by the bogus "economic recovery". We are in survival mode now. Even his reparation supporters receiving free food, health insurance, and no income tax can afford $4/gal fuel.Quote:

Unlike you, I don't live in a sheltered setting. I live and work in the real world among those (black, white, and Hispanic) who are trying to get by. Many of those are just looking for the next handout to go with the constant handouts you leftist think will keep them voting for more socialism. Those people ARE NOT looking for jobs, which skews your pretty little chart propaganda.
The urgent need for more skilled labor is what's keeping those employed who otherwise would be and should be canned for the HORRIBLE service they provide.
A system that skews the economic gains to the few with decreasing share going to the workers can build resentment in those that only contribute labor to the economy. Particularly when owners are eager to call folks lazy rather than lending an empathetic ear.Quote:

Are you going to address the fact that this happened under Trump? Those are facts. Solomon Islands stopped recognizing Taiwan independence in 2019 in exchange for support from China. Not saying the Trump administration responded wrong, but it was they, not Biden, that gave Solomon Islands the cold shoulder in response. Biden started to bring them back in the fold by moving to reestablish a US Embassy there. Those are the facts. What am I missing?Quote:

It was they, while in power, that unilaterally disregarded western ties in favor of the links to China. The Trump Admin did NOT give them the "cold shoulder" as you say. Trump responded decisively refusing to continue to finance a government that had turned hostile to Taiwan and to the West. The Trump Admin did not cause this, the Solomon Islands' change of allegiance was NOT in response to something (a policy) the Trump Admin did.
Next, and this is extremely important to understand, this is more an Australian matter than a US one. It has been Australia that has had the closest relations with the Solomon Islands. It is the Aussies who have carried the Western Banner of democracy there. If there has been a failure, of any kind, it falls on the Aussies. But, that is not true anyway. Western democracies do not fiddle in the internal political affairs of sovereign nations. The Aussies did not interfere in the elections that brought the commie-leaning faction into power.
Neither the Trump or the Biden Admin is to blame for any of this. The only question is how will the West, led by Australia, respond. Allowing the Chicoms a military foothold in the Solomons is akin to the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 1960's. Australia has to take the lead, but need the US's support, especially if tensions rise to the brink of military action.
In the bigger picture, the free world must stand against Chicom expansionism. Taiwan is "ground zero" and as such everything revolves around it. How other nations view/treat Taiwan is critical. Under Trump the US built coalitions, Quads, which the Biden Admin has just walked away from. Japan and Australia, with some help from India, has picked up the mantle and is now LEADING the charge. Some of the small countries who have recently switched allegiance to the Chicoms have done so out of fear that, w/o the US, said Quads may not be able to protect them from Chicom aggression. They look at the boob in the WH and say, we can't depend on that clown.
Biden is a weak leader, worse! He loves himself commie nations and will not take a hard stance against his buddies, the Chicoms. Maybe he'll dispatch Hunter to "make some more deals."
All of this addresses your question, "What am I missing?"
Yeah, I get all this re: Solomon Islands. Frisco was the one blaming it on Biden. I was pointing out this all started before Biden got in office.Quote:

This was posted on another political board.. thought I would share..
Too Expensive to do Business
The rapid inflation we are seeing is getting close to actual breaking points in several areas. I’ve been in food manufacturing for 16 years, and thus far this year “salt of the Earth” type products have seen several cost increases in rapid succession. I know of items that had a 28% cost increase in Feb that are getting another 16% cost increase real time. I have colleagues in other CPG companies on their 3rd increase since December.
A major food company in North America has informed customers that they will be implementing a 6% cost increase every quarter going forward.
Things are getting to a point where decision makers are facing dilemmas such as
-At this price, the consumer proposition no longer works
-Costs are so high, we would be better off closing the facility
-Maybe these items aren’t really needed, let’s reduce the breadth of our offerings (fun Soviet style grocery)
On top of that, as a personal passion I stay really connected with some small farming circles. I’ve had several farmers tell me the input costs (like fertilizer) has them second guessing planting at all.
If this trajectory doesn’t change, the implications are pretty depressing.
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/...1z9CL._AC_.jpg
But wasn't the buzz word "transitory" just a few months ago? I heard virtually every news outlet parrot that talking point and was assured that our leader had things under control. Now they all repeat the lie that it's Putin's fault, much like they blame everything on the US in North Korea.
I seem to recall our narcissistic expert on everything proclaiming it to be transitory as well. I am sure he is using the new talking points now.
The Federal Reserve officially retired transitory from their talking points in November.Quote:
Originally Posted by DawgyNWindow
It isn’t that inflation isn’t transitory, the question is the magnitude and duration, both of which have exceeded the Fed’s original expectations (pre-Nov).
There is a lot of evidence that we have peaked now but inflation is still likely to run hotter than the Fed’s target for the remainder of the year.
Whatever they're selling, you're buying.Quote:
Originally Posted by Guisslapp

The pandemic was the greatest demand shock in a lifetime. The reopening was the greatest demand increase in a lifetime. A supply chain that was built around efficiency (lowest costs) rather than resiliency could not keep up with the huge swing from shut down to demand surge. That is the real story here. It is a temporary phenomenon, but at some point everything reaches steady state. Most of the cost increases aren’t that sticky. But there is a psychological aspect, because “inflation expectations” themselves can influence the stickiness of the price. That is part of the reason that the reason for using “transitory” phrasing is to frame expectations.Quote:

I had one rum & coke and then just coke while others got sauced. Wow! good thing I am not a foreign spy.
On Biden vs. Trump, here's the consensus take-away, these are all career military, hoping to put in 20 years, retire on a fat retirement, and then parlay their connections into lobbying jobs and the like. They think Trump endangers that gravy train. No, they do NOT like Biden, they have zero confidence in him, but he will not upset the bureaucratic apple cart. Actually, they, like my nephew, prefer a good ole Swampy GOP RINO...
Only anti-American commie bastards and self-centered guvmint types "like" Biden. Biden supporters fall into one of those two categories...

As it is, because most of the rest of the world embraces destructive socialist policies too, the US, by default remains at, or near, the top in economic might. America and Americans are remarkably resilient and will survive Sleepy Joe's tenure. We survived 8 years of the worst POS POTUS's economic woes, we'll survive Biden's 4 years too.
Biden said he is in favor of making LNG to send to Europe as long as we don't use fossil fuels to make it. Does he think LNG comes from cow farts?
I wear my Trump hat every day and I have yet to find anybody that say they voted for Biden. I do get a lot of thumbs up when I'm wearing it.
The grand jury that is investigating Hunter's taxes is wanting to know who the big guy is on Hunter's laptop. They also want to know who "pops" is and if he is the same guy as the "big guy".
