You left out Mt St Helen's, Krakatoa, the War of Jenkin's Ear, and the expulsion for Eden Has to be Biden, at least in Maga-stan among the forlorn and brain addled.

If you have even an ounce of proof of any corruption by Biden, you should show it. If you cannot---you cannot---then you are making stuff up and engaging in slander. On the other hand, the clown you favor is: ---a convicted sex offender ---a convicted charity fraudster ---a convicted bank fraudster ---a convicted insurance fraudster ---a thief of highly classified (TS, SCI, SAP, Codeword, HCS and RD) ---a liar who claimed he returned what he stole, but did not return it ---a self-serving crybaby who was intimately involved in trying to overturn a free and fair election (still under adjudication, but with witnesses who testified in front of a grand jury under oath and who were part of his Administration) ---a guy on tape trying to interfere and overturn the election results in the State of Georgia ("Look, just find me...11,780 votes") It seems you made a new account simply to engage in slander and hyperbole.

Here's some remedial work for you: ---How many oil leases are approved and just sitting idle, despite anybody---even you if you had money---being allowed to begin drilling today? (Hint: the # is---to use a word from trump---BIGLY) ---Name the President under whose tenure more jobs have been created than any other? (Hint: it begins with a "B" and it isn't a Bush or a Bachelor or even sound Dutch) ---What was the latest GDP number? ---What is the unemployment rate today vs 20 January 2021? ---Of the two apparent candidates for President in 2024, which one believes in democracy, actually goes to work each day, rather than run up $176,000,000 in Taxpayer expense playing golf (OMB number), Tweeting "UNFAIR!" and "SAD!" like a giant snowflake, and calling in for hours to Fox news? Also, of those 2, who had a Godot-style "Infrastructure Week" and who got a bipartisan infrastructure Bill passed?

I'm already as wealthy as anyone needs to be, so I neither need the career nor the fame. As for comedy, House Repubs are providing that, refusing to pass any Bill that would allow Border Patrol to hire more agents. They slashed the funding once they retook the House, and then moaned about border crossings. They need a mirror to see who is responsible. Obviously they want to keep the issue front and center, believing it will help their cult leader. Want to know just how comical those House Repubs are? More than 140 refused to certify Biden's landslide victory over trump...yet they were perfectly happy to certify their own election victory on the exact same ballots.

You obviously have access to that thing called the internet. You can search, and maybe learn something. trump and his kids were banned for life from running a charity, because he was convicted of using donations for personal purposes, which is defraudung donors. Since his children were accessories, they, too, are banned. The two cases ongoing in NYC are finished, save for determining damages. In the bank and insurance fraud case, trump was allowed to choose either a jury trial or a bench trial. He chose bench trial, which means only the judge hears the case and arrives at a verdict. Judge Engoron found trump guilty of both bank and insurance fraud. In the defamation case---a civil case---trump was first found guilty of sexual assault. He subsequently defamed E Jean Carroll, according to the jury, and they awarded her $5 million. He continued to defame her, so Carroll filed new defamation charges and is now awaiting the jury to declare guilt and award damages. Thus, trump is a convicted charity fraudster, a convicted bank fraudster, a convicted insurance fraudster, and a convicted sexual offender.

Are you feeling fearful? I understand those maga types are particularly violent people. Look what they did to police at the Capitol. Too bad only one of them got a double tap. I wonder where Kyle Rittenhouse was? I thought he was big on protecting cops. He could have gone to DC and gunned down those maga terrorists.

Perhaps if the House Repubs hadn't slashed funding for Border Patrol, more agents could have been hired. Of course they know the maga crowd is fearful of losing their gas station and truck driver jobs to immigrants, so Repubs think the border issue helps trump. By the way, did Mexico ever pay for a 10-20 miles of walls put up under trump? After Oct 7, perhaps the idea of a wall as any sort of barrier to entry will be quashed. Maybe it stops mothers with kids who walked 1000 miles, but Hamas certanly found ways to subvert a wall.

putin's invasion of Ukraine just maybe impacted oil prices? Oh, and when Covid hit the world kind of slowed down and didn't do as much driving, so the decline isn't because trump did anything positive. By the way, there are some 9000 oil leases in the US currently approved and allowing drilling and exploitation. Comapnies are choosing not to drill. That is not Biden's fault.

Yes, if trump is jailed and Biden re-elected, the good times (+3.3% GDP just announced) will continue and gold price will drop.

More good news for Biden, and bad news for trump. Economists expected an annualized 2% GDP figure to be released 25 January, but it smashed the estimate and came in at 3.3% growth. The US is booming under Biden. That has to make the guy who wants the economy to crash feel terrible.

trumpers have changed the name of 'evidence' to 'alternative facts'. Also, they coined the non sequitur 'truth isn't truth' They've also re-written the famous George Costanza line (Seinfeld): "It's not a lie if the goobers believe it". Cut them some slack, to a person they're, at best, in the remedial class.

Yes, Hugo is kind of like Haley's (sic) Comet (oooh, isn't she the comet coming for trump!). Hugo rises from the dead once every four years and hacks voting machines via an Italian satellite...EXCEPT for down ballot Repubs, who insist their own elections on the very same ballots were 100% legit.

Nikki Haley is finally taking off the gloves. She is calling out trump as a coward, asking why is he afraid to debate her? (Actually, his campaign team likely knows trump is cognitively impaired and would probably make dozens of gaffes in a live debate.) Haley is also raising a lot of money after NH, despite her 2nd place finish, albeit 10 points higher than the pre-election polls suggested. She is now the recipient of big Republican donors like the Koch Brothers, and next week she is hosting fund raising programs on Wall Street. trump already ranted about her fundraising, saying he will blacklist anyone who donates to her. Clearly he is scared. Haley is hitting trump where it hurts 2nd most (his ego), while NYC is hitting him where it hurts most (the Carroll Defamation trial and the penalty for his conviction for bank and insurance fraud). trump is only going to behave even more erratically as an opponent--a WOMAN, at that---is coming after him. It is going to be such fun watching him meltdown like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz.

So anti-American are Repubs now that they purposely stand in the way of funding border security, because---as Moscow Mitch McConnell says---"We don't want to take an election issue away from trump". Neither will Repubs pass any Bill that might help further boost the strong economy, because trump wants a crash so that it will help his campaign. Repubs=Traitors, each and every one.

trump released 5000 Taliban jihadis plus set the timetable for US withdrawal before leaving office. Those released jihadis overthrew what was left of the Afghanistan government and now run the country. It is quite likely7 some of them ordered and carried out the airport bombing during the withdrawal.

You have a naive, childlike, conspiracy theorist view of how US politics works. Biden is a puppet? Of Whom? Silly. Perhaps you've missed it, but under Biden the Dems have gone to work getting the US out of the trump Recession, taking trump's 6.8% unemployment and bringing it close to a 55 year low, presided over more job creation than any POTUS ever, passed a bipartisan infrastructure Bill, dramatically reduced many prescription drug prices, and rebuilt NATO into a powerful force that can stand up to russian aggression. Convicted sex offender, convicted charity fraudster, convicted bank and insurance fraudster, and the clown under 91 felony indictments for such things as stealing classified documents and trying to overthrow US democracy---trump is the antithesis of positive change, which is why Biden loves that trump will be his opponent.

It's clear why Biden wants trump as his opponent. trump is in the process of crashing and burning, all because he is revealing to independents, swing voters, and moderate Republicans what kind of miscreant he is. Exit polls in both Iowa and New Hampshire revealed that a large percent of Haley voters will not vote trump if Haley drops out. Also, trump is showing increasing signs of mental deterioration. In the last two weeks he has: ---said his opponent is Obama ---said Nikki Haley was Speaker on 6 January 2021 ---lied that the Speaker (Haley---sic) had authority to call troops to suppress the terrorist attack on the Capitol ---said Jeb Bush got the US into Iraq ---claims he beat George Bush in an earlier New Hampshire primary ---forgot what State he was in (Iowa) ---said Biden is going to get us into World War II ---babbled incoherently about something he calls "de-banking" trump is still facing 91 felony counts as well as waiting for assessed damages in his second defamation trial and his conviction for bank and insurance fraud. That will not only keep him negatively in the news, it is likely to enrage him and lead to even more untoward and bizarre rants. The issue of abortion is also a major issue, and trump taking credit for overturning Roe v Wade is not going to help him with the majority of women. There are 14 States in the US where abortions are banned even if rape or incest is involved. In just those 14 States since the ban, 54,000 teens and younger have become pregnant via rape or incest. Biden is already citing those figures. (Obviously if a Republican Congressman's wife or daughter was raped, I'm willing to bet an abortion would be had.) Biden also is likely please Nikki Haley is sticking around through Super Tuesday in March, because that will goad trump into being trump. trump already tried Birther 2.0 re Haley, and in his silly 'victory' speech in NH he insinuated there are skeletons in Haley's closet that will come out if she stays in the race. I fully expect trump to be taking about steaks and burgers in his future attacks on Haley. He has shown repeatedly there is no depth too low for him to stoop. All of that, plus the strong economy, strong job growth and record stock prices bode well for Biden.

Very simple. The Founders could have just used the Magna Carta as the guiding document. They did not. Instead---well aware of the power an absolute monarch or authority would have---they specifically and intentionally wrote that all are equal under the law. trump has committed criminal acts. He is already a convicted sex offender, a convicted charity fraudster and a convicted bank and insurance fraudster. He has an additional 91 felony indictments facing him. One---the stolen documents case---is a slam dunk, as he had no right to willfully be in possession of such material. His other indictments, if the indictment documents are anything to go by, are close enough to a slam dunk that he should be getting his affairs in order. Even house arrest would send the wrong signal, as it places him above the average citizen. If a democracy like Suth Korea can jail3 convicted Presidents, certainly the US can, too. He must be tried, and if found guilty (likely if not guaranteed), he must pay the same penalty any citizen would face. He is not above any law and not above any citizen.

Haley says she plans to stay in the race until Super Tuesday in March. I suspect it's payback, as she knows how trump will react. She already "lives rent free in his head", as he did mistake her for Nancy Pelosi. trump will not be able to help himself. He will be his normal racist and misogynist self. He already tried the Birther thing with her. I suspect we're in store for lines like, "I'll bet she never ate a trump steak" (one of his dozens of failed businesses which show his brand isn't worth as much as he thinks). That kind of stuff will play with his Talibangical base and white supremacist losers, but it likely will alienate him even further with moderates and independents.

trump is very popular among the QAnon crowd, Incels, Talibangicals who believe humans and dinosaurs lived on Earth together 6 thousand years ago, racists, misogynists, the poorly educated, and the unsuccessful who cannot accept personal responsibility for their own failures in life. He doesn't poll well with sane people and the intelligent. Granted there are a lot of folks who fall into those categories, but it wasn't enough for him to carry the anachronism of the Electoral College in 2020, never enough for him to carry the popular vote, and the guy hasn't become any more likeable or sane or any less blatantly criminal in the last 4 years. He also is clearly losing whatever Person Man Woman Camera TV cognitive ability he might have had. He forgets what State he is in, thinks Nikki Haley was Speaker of the House on 6 January 2021, and that he is running against Obama. He slurs more words that a drunk expat in a Pattaya bar, and never had much control over his verbiage. The economy is better under Biden, and that will impact things as much as trump's pathological criminality come November. When people head to the voting booth, they will have to consider if they really want a guy with ZERO plan for anything except retribution, a large belly full of empty slogans, a guy who is a pathological liar, and who is already a convicted sex offender, a convicted charity fraudster, a convicted bank and insurance fraudster, and by November could be convicted of everything from violation of RICO statutes to theft of classified documents to aiding and abetting an insurrection against the United States. He may even be in jail come November and be donning a face-matching orange jumpsuit. That's hardly a good look for a political candidate. The Dems want to face him, as he is a walking virus to down ballot candidates. I suspect they also want Haley to stay in the race longer, because trump won't be able to control his racist and misogynistic vitriol against a female, and a female of South Asian ancestry. trump will, as always, demonstrate his worst characteristics and three-year old child behavior as he tries to attack her. Sane, rational, and normal people are sick of his schtick.

Maybe I don't get it, but it seems to me a woman who walks 1000 miles from Guatemala to Texas, dragging her two kids, is slightly less of a threat to US national security than, say, the Cuban Missile Crisis or al Qaeda or Russian ICBMs. I suspect House Republicans agree with me, though they would never admit it. If they truly believed it was the worst national security crisis in US history, they probably would not have slashed the budget for Border Patrol. Somebody else might have said this, but most House Repubs are not legislators, they're just performance artists, putting on a silly show and trying to elicit campaign contributions, so they can keep performing.

Since there are some trump fans here, I wonder if any of them could give excuses account for trump's behavior. Those of us who think trump is a self-serving, evil, ignorant, treasonous clown are told we have something called TDS, but the real TDS seems to me to be an affliction of people who pretzel bend to rationalize his criminality. So, without further adieu... 1) Why did trump call his goobers to come to DC on 6 January, Tweeting "It'll be WILD!"? The certification of the election is pro forma; the States already did the accounting. What is "the right thing" that trump expected VP Pence to do, since the actual "right thing", according to the law and Constitution, is merely to rubber stamp what the 50 States already certified? 2) Why did trump tell his gathered goobers to march to the Capitol? What did he mean by "You have to fight like hell if you want your country back"? What sort of fighting was required when inside the Capitol it was merely that pro forma certification of the election? 3) Why did trump demand GA SecState Raffensperger "just find me...11,780 votes", when Raffensperger told trump there was no evidence of fraud nor unaccounted for votes? The answer here is rather obvious, but I would be interested in hearing the excuse. 4) Why did trump sign on to the fake elector scheme, when actual electors had already been selected by the legitimate voting process? When trump's appointed tech czar told trump "This was the most secure and fair election in US history", why did trump fire him? 5) Why did trump steal highly classified documents (with TS, SCI, SAP, Codeword, HCS and RD classifications) and bring the docs to his country club? What does a wedding planner need with that material? (Note: As a former member of the clandestine services, I carried a TS/SCI clearance and had classification authority. I know the system quite well as well as the declassification process. Neither trump nor any POTUS can "declassify with his mind"; there is a paper trail signed off by relevant agency chiefs and then finally signed off by the White House Counsel. That was not done. Oh...and even POTUSs do not have a security clearance; their election allows them the privilege of seeing classified material while POTUS. Once their term is done, they have zero clearance, and mere possession of classified documents is a crime, especially if it is willful. Biden and Pence's possession of much lower classified material was not willful, and both men cooperated fully with the FBI to gather and remove everything. trump, OTOH, lied and obstructed. As for the docs, HCS is Human Clandestine Sources and rarely, if ever does any POTUS see that, as it reveals identities of clandestine assets. trump's theft of HCS docs puts both individual assets and their families, as well as national security, at risk. It also discourages potential future assets from cooperating, as they see a reckless and cavalier POTUS could cause their identities to be revealed. Finally, documents classified RD, or Restricted Data, can ONLY be declassified by the Dept of Energy, as such material relates to nuclear matters and secrets. The only possible explanation for trump to steal and keep such documents is he planned to monetize them. Certainly putin and Xi would pay well to learn the identities of any penetrations of their government or military. Bonus question: If some 140+ Republican members of the House decided not to sign off on the certification of Biden's landslide victory, why were they all so quick to accept their own victories in the same election on the same ballots? So...what are the excuses?

There is no bigger or fatter snowflake in this world galaxy Universe than Mr UNFAIR! himself. trump lost. Deal with it. TDS is what trumpers have, deluded into thinking the clown is anything but a self-serving, incompetent, anti-democratic, criminal loser. Some of us served the nation in one capacity or another. I served in a certain foreign policy arm of the USG. I have seen what dictators and wannabe fascists do to countries and to citizens of those countries. I do not want that to happen to the US, and trump---even according to many of his former staff and lawyers---is the greatest threat to the US today. Frankly, he should be executed for Sedition for 6 January, for his fake elector scheme, for stealing highly classified documents and then lying about it, and a host of other crimes, some of which are capital offenses. Oh, and people who served are NOT "suckers and losers" as the never served coward trump says. The friends and colleagues I know who lost their lives serving were not either of those, and were better people than trump could ever be even in his wildest fantasies.

"It's 15 people now, and soon it will be down to 1" "It will simply go away, and by Easter (2020) you'll all be together in church again" "You know, we could inject, like, disinfectant into people, and that seems to work"

The facts are patently obvious. trump: had the lowest growth (as measured by GDP change) of any POTUS since WWII. Even before Covid trump's average Quarterly GDP change was in the bottom 30% of all quarters since the end of WWII. trump was the first POTUS since Herbert Hoover to leave office with fewer Americans working than when he entered office. Oh, in an earlier post you claimed 'the economy runs itself'. If you believe that, why do you give trump cre4dit...even for his abject failure. Hey, but you've always got Lysol if the Covid trump so badly mismanaged comes back.
