Are you drunk? Your comment has nothing to do with the indicator used for the chart! 😀 -

Trump's Promise of Pardons Offers Hope to Capitol Rioters' Families
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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. -

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. -

Nice try! 😉 Was the Fed implementing a high interest rate policy under Trump in order to cool down the employment growth? -

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. -

Budgets are counted by fiscal years, not calendar years. -

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/ -

So Trump wants to pardon the mob he "did not" incite to assault the Capitol! 😆 Incoherence is a permanent feature of the MAGA universe! -

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 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/ -
Trump's Promise of Pardons Offers Hope to Capitol Rioters' Families
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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. -
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?

And after their pardon, the Conald will personally give them brown shirts as a proof of gratitude! 😃 -

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 -

Why? Did the BLM riotets assault the Capitol in order to steal an election? -
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?

Right! That was politically motivated. "find me 11,800 votes", the fake electors plot, fight like hell, etc... what motivated Trump was politics! 😅 -

Again it's not what you claimed in your post. Few people believe Trump's claim that the 2020 election has been rigged. Most people have been laughing about it. About your new claim in this post, if you consider "many" as equivalent to "a majority", this is certainly not the case. A minority of far right people, plus some Brexiters in U.K. ( at least initially) liked Trump.
