Ok, he is authorised to declassify only what he has classified, unless given a specific authorisation. What's the point in relation to the post I replied to?

Why see it? We already know Putin's propaganda from previous speeches (the denazification B.S., the U.S. is responsible for the war, etc..). On top of it, Russian propaganda has also been diffused to right-wing outlets, and this forum has been saturated by MAGA posts parroting this propaganda.

Putin is certainly not laughing at Biden since he decided to help Ukraine and gather other NATO members. Putin is certainly laughing because his pal Trump and MAGAs are de facto helping him. He was at least partially right when he assessed, after the Jan.6 riot, that the U.S. was politically too divided to oppose him, and therefore decided to invade Ukraine.

Not tired of posting the same debunked B.S. over and over? Biden was allowed to classify documents as VP. "Sec. 1.3. Classification Authority. (a) The authority to classify information originally may be exercised only by: (1) the President and the Vice President;" https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/executive-order-classified-national-security-information And Trump (and Biden) had no right to keep them after the end of their mandate

Well, he tried to adapt to changing situations. I remember Trump was angry when he increased rates. During his interview, he acknowledged he did not anticipate the surge of inflation and reacted too late by increasing rates, also explaining why. Anyway, how do you analyse his explanations about the causes of inflation and about a low risk of recession this year?

It's not going to happen.

So, according to your arguments, Putin must be happy the bill did not pass.

Trump's lawyers asking a judge to hurry up! That's unusual!

You should read Powell's interview, in particular what he said about the causes of inflation, the odds of a crisis occurring this year, and the impact of the Chinese crisis. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/full-transcript-fed-chair-jerome-powell-60-minutes-interview-economy/

That was just the usual MAGA m.o. When facts contradict their claims, they make up a conspiracy theory.

I can imagine the poll question: "Tovaritcht, you approve Putin, right?" 😀

If China would invade another country, it wouldn't "suck the air"?

That was in 2018. The situation is different after the Ukraine war, which raises more challenging questions. You know like " why do you bomb civilians?" ( I doubt Carlson asked this one).

A speech is not an interview, as the content is controlled. And an interview by a non-complicit interviewer who ask critical questions is not the same as with someone like Carlson.

The interesting part is not that he interviews Putin, it's that Putin unusually accepted to be interviewed by a Western journalist.

Again, you cannot have it both ways. Evoke crises when it suits you and ignore them when it doesn't.

Ridiculous 11.5=11.5, not slightly higher!

The claim was that poverty level increased under Biden. It didn't.

You cannot have it both ways, like evoking economic conditions such as economic crises when it suits you, and ignore them when it doesn't.

"My" graph shows 11.5 in 2020 and 11.5 in 2022. You call that an increase? That's pathetic.

Lol! Average GDP growth was higher under Obama's mandates compared to Trump. Unemployment reduction rate was higher. And Obama's succeed in reversing the poverty trend generated by the 2008 crisis.

Did poverty rate increase under Biden as you claimed?

Lol! I have continuously proven you wrong today! 😀. Initially high because of the impact of the Republican major crisis, then decreased. No increase during Biden's mandate,contrary to your claim..

It seems you cannot read a chart. Poverty decreased under Obama after the crisis, the trend continued under Trump (as he surfed on Obama's good economic wave) at the beginning, then went up to the current level at the end of his mandate (he was still president in 2020).

Do you remember what happened in 2020 and 2021? Poverty increased during the pandemic and started to decrease in 2022. Thank you Joe. But if you prefer to stick to 5 years old style economic reasoning, it can be argued that poverty level has increased to the current level under Trump!
