Your opinion about the US federal public debt? OK.

Finally got a link out of you. Congratulations. From my link It’s worth noting that the figures used in the graph above measure debt held by the public, which experts at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities argue is more economically meaningful than gross debt. The former measures the government’s borrowing from the private sector and foreign governments, excluding debt it owes itself. Debt held by the public is currently about $24 trillion, and gross debt, which is subject to the congressional limit, is about $31 trillion.

The other one couldn't distinguish his ex wife from his sexual assault victim.

The link above shows the debt reducing under Biden after skyrocketing under trump. Could we at least agree to use the facts unless you can provide evidence?

'Bad poll': Trump says survey showing him losing to Biden by 4 really means he's up by 6 https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2024-polls/

Lack of a link exposes more misinformation. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/02/10/politics/us-federal-debt-past-presidents/index.html

Giving billions in military aid to Ukraine. At least his son went to Iraq.

There isn't record high inflation, the US has done better than most peer countries, if not all. Proxy war with Russia had nothing to do with Biden. The topic of U.S. energy independence often sparks debate, with many believing that the country achieved this status under President Trump and lost it during President Biden's tenure. I don’t find this definition very useful, because we began importing crude oil before 1950, and we have imported it every year since. Under this definition, the U.S. hasn’t been energy independent in at least 75 years. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2023/05/02/us-energy-independence-soars-to-highest-levels-in-over-70-years/?sh=3ab23b1f977f 2.3 Trillion giveaway mainly to the rich wasn't reckless spending? You'll need to provide a ;link to evidence of reckless spending. I dispute your claim. Borders aren't open.

That's true of both sides. I think you disproved your own claim that these people speaking out wouldn't change any votes.

I guess you proved that could be said.

I have bigly problems accepting that that list of top officials speaking out won't influence swing voters.

There aren't 300 million voters in the US. The maximum number of people who have ever voted in a presidential election is about half that number. (74 + 81). I understand that proof that Trump didn't actually drain the swamp and didn't hire all the best people isn't music to your ears. Here's a guide to 10 Trump associates who have pleaded guilty or have been convicted of crimes. https://www.newsweek.com/guide-trump-allies-whove-pleaded-guilty-been-convicted-crimes-1735298

No president has earned the open contempt and denunciation of so many of his inner circle. And in Trump’s case the list of those who have broken with him now include: Vice President (Mike Pence) Attorney General (Bill Barr) Two Secretaries of Defense (James Mattis, Mike Esper) Two Secretaries of State (Rex Tillerson, Mike Pompeo) Two Chiefs of Staff (John Kelly, Mick Mulvaney) Two National Security Advisors (John Bolton, H.R. McMaster) Deputy National Security Advisor (Matt Pottinger) Secretary of the Navy (Richard Spencer) Communications Director (Alyssa Farah Griffin) Press Secretary (Stephanie Grisham) Cabinet Members (Elaine Chao, etc.) Personal lawyers (Michael Cohen… and counting) https://morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/the-call-is-coming-from-inside-the?r=2k4r8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Out of 4 million slaves, you are straw clutching.

Old is good. Greater wisdom, maturity and less testosterone fueled decisions. Noem Chomskey and RBG being classic examples.

I want you to tell me. You put up this little canard as a deflection. We both know that the insignificant numbers of non whites who were prepared to profit by immorality doesn't change anything.

What proportion of slave owners were they?

Two things. The first 18 months after covid started and until we got sufficient numbers of vaccinated people was exactly when the lockdown and no partying regulations were most relevant and most important. Unarguably far more important than now. Secondly, your right wing talking point misinformation about Sweden's doing better than nearby countries despite having no lockdown is very misleading. The elderly had a worse outcome than Norway. The whole point of the lockdowns pre vaccine awas to protect the vulnerable. Unfortunately the narcissists believe that demographic was dispensable. We keep hearing about how the elderly should take care of themselves instead of everybody making miniscule sacrifices and doing the right thing. https://www.scienceopen.com/document_file/444b398e-6aaa-4cfe-aafb-04d9b158dd33/PubMedCentral/444b398e-6aaa-4cfe-aafb-04d9b158dd33.pdf

Many were reluctant to end slavery then and their decendents have mourned its passing ever since.

Their behaviour doesn't reflect an attitude which can be directly linked to the far worse outcomes for UK citizens through lax covid precautions? Britain’s early handling of the coronavirus pandemic was one of the worst public health failures in UK history, with ministers and scientists taking a “fatalistic” approach that exacerbated the death toll, a landmark inquiry has found. “Groupthink”, evidence of British exceptionalism and a deliberately “slow and gradualist” approach meant the UK fared “significantly worse” than other countries, according to the 151-page “Coronavirus: lessons learned to date” report led by two former Conservative ministers. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/oct/12/covid-response-one-of-uks-worst-ever-public-health-failures

Things will change once the Georgia and insurrection conspiracy indictments are in. The almost daily addition of new GOP candidates despite the overwhelming poll odds in Favor of Trump signals that they know this. Presidential candidates have their fingers on the pulse when it comes to insider information.

I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. My comments were in relation to a fruitarian diet. I never suggest to others what to eat. I only post what I believe is a good (or bad diet) and why with links to support my claims. I also drink a little but not much and not frequently.

No it doesn't. It says 5 pieces of fruit AND vegetables every day. Not only do you not provide links but you misquote your sources.

Not what I said or implied.

That's her prerogative. Not being able to prove rape does not mean that it didn't happen.
