  1. What are you talking about? Which claims did I make? 😀
  2. I agree that it was an important topic, but not on the diagnosis. Life was better pre-Covid in each and every country, it has nothing to do with who was President. Trump inherited a good economy and the global context was good. Hr neger had to fight global inflation. Things were not better because of Trump. It's the same post Covid. It was a global phenomenon. High inflation everywhere, increasing deficits everywhere. Compared to other developed country, ex G7, the situation of the U.S. is much better. Trump had a more clear plan. However, it will not reduce inflation, rather the opposite.
  3. How does the impeachment of Mayorka compares with the impeachment of a President? It's simply ridiculous.
  4. My point was that honesty/dishonesty did not play much role in this election. There were other more significant reasons. Some which you just mentioned, and other you didn't.
  5. There's nothing in Trump's program suggesting the U.S. debt will not increase, or even will remain stable.
  6. It's funny how the MAGA alternate universe can propagate.... 😃
  7. And those who did not believe this "propaganda" had a higher Covid death rate (see my post above)! 😃
  8. And It's not like cost of living had been one of the major GOP propaganda topic! It's also not like we had been flooded with posts from MAGA fans about it, including memes with fake prices! Oh wait! 🤣 It's quite funny that, as Trump is going to implement inflationist policies the RW talking point is now to downplay the significance of the inflation topic for citizen! 😃
  9. He already takes ketamine against depression.... among other drugs, I guess).
  10. The truth about Covid vaccine effect on deaths! 😃 Trump voters died more than Biden voters because they listened to antivax nutters and had a lower vaccination rate than people who voted democrats! The results suggest that well-documented differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republican and Democratic voters may have been factors in the severity and trajectory of the pandemic," the authors wrote. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/political-party-affiliation-linked-excess-covid-deaths Researchers from Yale University who studied the pandemic's effects on those two states say that from the pandemic's start in March 2020 through December 2021, "excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults, but not before." More specifically, the researchers say, their adjusted analysis found that "the excess death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters" after vaccine eligibility was opened. https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1189939229/covid-deaths-democrats-republicans-gap-study
  11. What a joke. The article uses the VAERS data, which provides no validation that the reported event is actually caused by a vaccine! And anyone, including antivax nutters, can report as often as he wants! 🤣 The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is one of several different systems CDC uses to monitor the safety of vaccines. VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (any side effect or health problem after vaccination that is concerning to you, even if you are not sure if the vaccine caused the event). Anyone — patients, family members, healthcare providers and vaccine manufacturers — can submit a report to VAERS. Healthcare providers and vaccine manufacturers are legally required to report certain events after vaccination. A report to VAERS does not mean that a vaccine caused an adverse event. If it looks as though a vaccine might be associated with a health problem, CDC and FDA investigate further and take action if needed. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety-systems/vaers/index.html
  12. The temple of Satan! The French would say: "Satan l'habite"! 😃
  13. Nonsense. The economist cited in the different articles are not Biden's advisers! 😃
  14. How does it support your position? It doesn't show a long term price decrease. About your question. It was obviously the point I was making.
  15. Sorry I have edited my post after you replied. Why wouldn't they be able to do what they have basically been doing since you were in high school?
  16. No. Why wouldn't they be able to do what they have basically been doing since you were in high school?
  17. However, the dictator's regime was at least secular. The dumb U.S. Republicans put in place a political system based on religion. The President must be Suni and the PM must be Shia (and Christians left the country because there was no one to represent and defend them)!
  18. Then we agree. That's exactly the point I was making.
  19. Maybe more revenues than if they keep the same production at a lower price. Anyway, until now, that's what they've done so far, and that's the stated goal of OPEC: control production level in order to control prices.
  20. That's how OPEC countries acted in the past. Revenue=Price×Quantity. It depends on how price and quantity variate. On top of it, they know their reserves are not infinite. The article I cited did not claim the increase of U.S. production was the only factor.
  21. The two dotards may find interesting talking subjects For example, Trump canexplain him how to fix pampers properly, according to his own experience! 😀
  22. Yet U.S. oil prices are dependent on OPEC decisions, as I showed.
  23. It's you misinformed by GOP propaganda. 😀 "OPEC ministers confirmed it had secured a cut in its oil production from 33.8 million barrels a day (b/d) to 32.5 million b/d in an effort to prop up prices. Oil prices have fallen by more than half since mid-2014 due to global oversupply and booming U.S. shale production." https://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/30/opec-reportedly-reaches-agreement-to-cut-oil-production.html https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/crude-oil
