  1. I did not ask you anything! I replied to another poster (Morgandave)! 😀 Are you having hallucinations now ? 😀
  2. Are you drunk? Your comment has nothing to do with the indicator used for the chart! 😀
  3. Interesting but also irrelevant to the post I replied to.
  4. Nice try, but not relevant to the post I replied to! 😀
  5. You can call it whatever you want, fact is that they assaulted the Capitol in order to overturn the result of a free and fair election.
  6. General comment: - nothing's perfect as Biden has no magic power. However, the unemployment statistics (and others such as GDP) are showing that the popular MGA claim that Biden's economy is a disaster is ridiculous. - the post-Covid context is different from the pre-Covid context. The post-Covid economic performance of the U.S is much better than in other comparable economies.
  7. Nice try! 😉 Was the Fed implementing a high interest rate policy under Trump in order to cool down the employment growth?
  8. It's more likely due to fiscal years. A budget voted a given year only starts in October of this year until September the next year. So until September 2017 it was Obama's budget and until September 2021 it was Trump's budget. It is also used to calculate deficits and debts as they are caused by the budget voted.
  9. Budgets are counted by fiscal years, not calendar years.
  10. More details about this total dusaster: Job growth zoomed in March as payrolls jumped by 303,000 and unemployment dropped to 3.8%. The unemployment rate edged lower to 3.8%, as expected, even though the labor force participation rate moved higher to 62.7%, a gain of 0.2 https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/05/job-growth-totaled-303000-in-march-better-than-expected-and-unemployment-was-3point8percent.html The unemployment rate has remained below 4% for 26 straight months, the longest such stretch since the late 1960s. The U.S. economy is outshining its global peers even though the Fed has raised rates by 525 basis points since March 2022 to dampen inflation. https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/us-job-growth-beats-expectations-march-wages-increase-steadily-2024-04-05/
  11. Complete B.S. The UAE foreign minister was warning about a possible rise of extremism and terrorism (and it was an appropriate warning). The 2017 riots in France had nothing to do with Islamic terrorism or extremism. It's completely incoherent and ridiculous!
  12. So Trump wants to pardon the mob he "did not" incite to assault the Capitol! 😆 Incoherence is a permanent feature of the MAGA universe!
  13. More proof of Biden's economic failure! 😆 Job growth zoomed in March as payrolls jumped by 303,000 and unemployment dropped to 3.8%. The unemployment rate edged lower to 3.8%, as expected, even though the labor force participation rate moved higher to 62.7%, a gain of 0.2 https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/05/job-growth-totaled-303000-in-march-better-than-expected-and-unemployment-was-3point8percent.html The unemployment rate has remained below 4% for 26 straight months, the longest such stretch since the late 1960s. The U.S. economy is outshining its global peers even though the Fed has raised rates by 525 basis points since March 2022 to dampen inflation. The labor market is benefiting from a rise in immigration over the past year. https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/us-job-growth-beats-expectations-march-wages-increase-steadily-2024-04-05/
  14. It confirms that Rfk jr is courting Trump's electorate. It's actually quite interesting. While Nikki Haley (for the time being, she has not declared any intent to candidate as independent) was clearly targeting non-Trumpers, it seems that this guy is targeting Trumpers.
  15. I am not familiar with this protest so I have a candid question: who are the protesters, considering it is inspired by Iran? I mean, there mustn't be many pro-Iran people in UK, as most Iranian immigrants likely flew the Iranian regime, same for the people fleeing the Shia regime in Syria. Or do people from different origin just unite for the Palestinian cause?
  16. And after their pardon, the Conald will personally give them brown shirts as a proof of gratitude! 😃
  17. As usual, you believe the right-wing propaganda claiming that BLM rioters have not been severly punished! :😆 The AP found that more than 120 defendants across the United States have pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial of federal crimes including rioting, arson and conspiracy. More than 70 defendants who’ve been sentenced so far have gotten an average of about 27 months behind bars. At least 10 received prison terms of five years or more. Records rebut claims of unequal treatment of Jan. 6 rioters https://apnews.com/article/records-rebut-claims-jan-6-rioters-55adf4d46aff57b91af2fdd3345dace8 P.S. I forgot to mention that Biden does not intend to pardon the BLM rioters
  18. Why? Did the BLM riotets assault the Capitol in order to steal an election?
  19. At the beginning, it could have been because of ignorance or negligence. But after one year of being asked by the NARA to give documents back, and most of all after he hid some documents and lied about it, it leaves no doubt thattherevwas intent. What motivated him? Vanity? Or was it a sign of his growing dementia?
  20. Right! That was politically motivated. "find me 11,800 votes", the fake electors plot, fight like hell, etc... what motivated Trump was politics! 😅
  21. You must be very selective as to the foreigners you get in contact with.....
