Inside a Biden White House adrift


onthedarkside

Recommended Posts

Seriously Levin and others on Fox are unwatchable. So sycophantic to Trump, so one sided, so conspiratorial. I like to think Australians have a BS meter such that attempts to bring in a Trump like right wing have been laughed at or ignored. It’s not the policies only it’s the arrogant and childlike approach. Totally accept that Democrats get it wrong at times, and that the idea of less government and lower taxes and free markets etc can have merit, but I wonder what happened to the BS meter of significant no of Americans that they can accept this stuff.

Numerous derogatory name calling, off-topic and "hate" labeling posts have been removed, along with some flames and a social media post from a questionable source.

 

Tone down the derogatory name calling and "hate" labeling, or posting suspensions will be headed your way.

"Biden White House adrift"

vs

Trump White House operating as The Trump Organization in coup mode.

Biden's democratic leadership may be flawed but isn't that better than Trump's autocratic leadership where it's All For One and One For One?

It would be a tragedy if it ever sinks as low as Trump.

 

https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia's_Polling_Index:_Comparison_of_opinion_polling_during_the_Trump_and_Biden_administrations

-President Biden's termwide approval rating average is 47.1%, with weekly averages ranging from 40.6% to 54.4%.

-At this point in President Trump's term, his termwide approval rating average was 40.7%, with weekly averages ranging from 37.3% to 45.9%

 

Historians polled by CSPAN ranked Trump near the Botton at #41 and last place in "moral authority" & "administrative skills"

Did you note this in the explanation?

"The question of timing. Biden entered office during a recession (and a global pandemic), but while the economy was on the upswing. Since different presidents have been sworn in at different points in the economic cycle, Biden’s comparison to his predecessors is not really apples-to-apples."

Hmmm...how does that apply to Trump?

And the layoffs are just getting started. Come November, inflation still skyrocketing, housing unaffordable, a ham sandwich the price of half a day's wages, and people lining up at the unemployment bureau and watch Team Biden crawl into a hole they'll never get out of.  

 

 

Crystal ball predictions offered as evidence are always so impressive. Care to share any stock tips with us?

You omitted the link to the article I provided from Business Insider. They cited the fact of a "wave of layoffs." You? You're really not worth dealing with.

As I pointed out, that wasn't much of a wave. It was a clear case of cherry-picking. The unemployment rate held steady at 3.6%. in May 2022 And, as Candide pointed out, according to the BLS, there are a total of roughly 158,000,000 employed. Of one thing I am sure: you will openly and graciously acknowledge that you were wrong about the total number of workers currently employed. 

 

And this despite the fact that many industries can't run at full strength because of problems with the supply chains,
