More pork than a Jimmy Dean sausage. Plus the big infrastructure bill was only a little over $100 billion a year. Now the remaining 1.9 trillion? Here's a radical idea- spend less, pay down the debt so that future generations aren't burdened.

I could give you 2.2 million reasons why you are wrong. Closing down illegal crossings could be done easily- deploy the military to the border, and immediately return anyone crossing illegally to Mexico. The bill you are fluffing so hard was a piece of crap. Every illegal crossing only strengthens the grip of cartels, mafia, and criminals in central and south America. Nobody crosses without greasing more than a few palms along the way. Even so half of women and girls are violated somewhere on the journey. The US has to remove the lure of the situation. If you are interested, CNA (Channel News Asia) just ran a very well made documentary series following groups of Chinese who wanted to go to America. Followed them from Ecuador to Mexico to their final goal. Worth watching regardless of your political affiliation.It is called "Walking the Line".

No, I am talking about Biden STILL running a 1.7 trillion dollar deficit in 2023. And why was he spending $6.4 TRILLION in 2023 when Trump spent 'only' $4.4 Trillion in 2019. What is the US getting for that extra $2 trillion that it is worth mortgaging the future for?

Oh I know, it's part of the game. An extension of the whole jury selection procedure at the beginning of the trial. Lots of blogs and reports on the topic. Everyone is suddenly psychic...

Didn't say I believed it. I said "the worry is"....

The worry is that the 12 New Yorkers had made up their minds before the trial started. Possibly the defence is doing this purely for the appeal.

There is something about the prosecution star witness admitting UNDER OATH that he is a thief and stole tens of thousands of dollars from his boss that makes this whole thing seem farcical.

Very true. If you listen to his voice, all he has now is "angry Joe" voice. Even a few years ago he could show much more variation in tone and mood. Now all you get is shouty Joe or creepy whispery Joe. I guess his staff's "Operation Bubble Wrap" doesn't work 100% all the time.

Joe might need some drugs. His mind is really slipping. At a Jewish Heritage Evening, he claimed that one of the Hamas hostages was actually IN THE ROOM with them. Hersh Goldberg-Polin, the hostage in question, is still being held by Hamas. I guess it was just Joe's stutter.

Yes, stunning and brave! Biden courageously agreed to debate IF his conditions were met. Wow. It may backfire though, if team Trump preps their candidate right. That's a big 'if' though. I am most looking forward to the VP debate or debates once Trump picks a running mate. Let's be honest, the odds of Biden actually surviving the entire 4 years if he is re-elected are less than good. Even Trump, given his age and health, might not survive a full term. That makes the VP choices very very important.

Inflation was made worse by Biden throwing money at people when there were no goods to buy or services to use. More money, less to spend it on, equals inflation. And maintaining the level of spending is madness. What reason for a 1.7 TRILLION dollar deficit in 2023? The Ukraine war was made worse by idiots who saw it as a chance to tie up Russia and also attrit Russia's military. There could have been a settlement 2 years ago. Instead, 2 years of stalemate and wasted resources, and disruptions. Thanks, Joe.

No,they are not. Big Ag doesnt need that many workers, and a lot are already on work permits. Most of today's illegals drift into the cities and scramble for a living, and cause huge smoking holes in city budgets. Current cost north of $60 BILLION a year.

Really? Then why are more and more Americans living paycheck to paycheck than ever before? A number that rose 6% in the last year alone? According to Forbes, up to 78% of Americans are doing so; https://www.forbes.com/advisor/banking/living-paycheck-to-paycheck-statistics-2024/

Nice try, won't fly. 20/20 hindsight is pointless and pathetic. You said "Millions more deaths". You were wrong. Just admit that you were freelancing without bothering to check the actual numbers and move on.

It would be hard for Trump to be responsible for "millions more of deaths" from COVID in America when the TOTAL number, spanning both Trump and Biden, is just over a million. Nice try and good use of hyperbole though. I'll give you a "B-".

I don't support it at all. But it is not worth the cost in treasure and possibly blood to eject Putin from a non-NATO, non-democratic, corruption ridden country. Withdraw from NATO? No, not at all. But 'encouraging' the other members to do their fair share? Absolutely. Europe can more than afford to defend itself from Russia- they have well more than 10 times the GDP of the creaky rump of the USSR. They just can't be bothered.

How about looking at the numbers compared by real Americans instead? Cost of a gallon of gas, a carton of eggs, a loaf of bread. Cost of renting/buying a house plus financing. Cost of car loans. Cost of a goddam Big Mac set. Your "real experts" dont live in the real world. And that is why Biden is polling so poorly on the economy.

No, I left out both Presidents' big deficits because they were outliers. Fiscal 2021 was brutal also, under Biden. But there is no excuse now for a 1.7 trillion dollar deficit. And even worse, staying at that level for the forseeable future.

No, I left out the Covid years for BOTH presidents as they are outliers. But you can see that even in 2023, with covid fading away in the distance, Biden STILL nearly doubled the deficit that Trump had pre-covid. 1.7 trillion to 0.98 trillion. I would say that Biden is spending like a drunken sailor, but that would be an insult to drunken sailors. At least the sailors are spending money that they have, not spending money that their children will have to pay back in the future.

No, the revenue increase is a lot to do with extra and needless taxes on people. But it does dispute Tug's false assertion that government takings decreased compared with Trump. More tax is being taken, PLUS more money is being borrowed and added to the yearly deficit. Not a winning combination.

Nope, sorry. Government revenue under Trump was in the 3.4 trillion dollar range. Under Biden, from 4.0 to 4.4 trillion. Source; https://www.statista.com/statistics/200405/receipts-of-the-us-government-since-fiscal-year-2000/#:~:text=The total receipts of the,about 6.8 trillion U.S. dollars. Wanna try again?

Trump's three pre-covid deficits were 0.7, 0.8, and 1.0 trillion dollars. Not great to be sure. BUT... Biden's two post-covid deficits have been 1..4 and 1.7 trillion respectively. So, respectfully, you are talking out your cloaca. Inflation and interest rates are killing average Americans' futures.

True. SO, in that case, the only safe thing to do is to release the entire tape, unedited and uncut, certified by the recording body. That way, any cuts or misuse would be obvious. BUT, release it. To do otherwise looks like the Democrats have something to hide.

Ah yes, the infamous Biden Stutter. Which was never talked about until he began his presidential run in 2020. I guess he was able to control it for his entire political career from Nixon to now, and has just these past few years..... stopped? Come on, man. It defies logic. Stuttering doesn't affect memory or cognitive skill. It also doesn't make you sniff and stroke little girls' hair.

Jeezus. What kind of ghouls kidnap the dead as well as the living? Godspeed to the IDF in removing these monsters from the earth.
