Summary
President Joe Biden highlighted his administration’s economic record, citing consistent job growth and a 2.7% inflation rate drop from its 2022 peak.
December’s jobs report showed 256,000 new jobs and declining unemployment, signaling steady economic growth.
However, inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, and interest rates remain high, impacting homebuyers and businesses.
Public pessimism lingers on affordability as Biden passes a largely strong economy to his successor, Donald Trump.
‘Than Ever’
dude was a senator starting at 1972.
he’s been an active participant in this
Sure, a massive disaster caused by trump et all fucking things up was recovered from. But that’s not really Biden’s doing, except in the most ephemeral of senses
yeah biden’s really asking for a lot of credit right now for just being an ordinary republican president. we needed to hold the insurrectionists accountable, first and foremost, and he didn’t
I thought the president didn’t have the power to do that. What could he do differently?
Fire Merrick Garland and appoint someone with teeth to go after the fucking ringleader?
Merrick Garland has been working to build a case against Trump. Trump delayed the cases. How can Merrick Garland’s replacement stop Trump from delaying cases?
Merrick Garland deferred to decorum at every turn. Knowing full well decorum is not an option in organized crime.
Just because a suspect twisted a political career into his organized crime does not mean it shouldn’t still be treated like organized crime regardless of the political optics.
What’s an example of Garland deferring to decorum?
Knowing full well decorum is not an option in organized crime.
It sounds like you’re saying Garland should’ve “gone rogue” or broken the law to take down Trump.
The same judicial system that gives Merrick Garland any authority has been corrupted with GOP picks that will rule in favor of Trump.
What’s an example of Garland deferring to decorum?
Not immediately starting the investigation into what happened on Jan 6th 2021 is unconscionable. The fact that it took him 2 years into Biden’s term to even allow prosecution of the case out of fear that if it was done any sooner it might give the appearance of political retaliation means that Americans were denied timely justice.
Luigi Mangione shot a healthcare CEO in the back of the head and was in court by the end of the week.
Donald Trump committed the most brazen and public act of sedition ever and still walks free to this day, over 4 years later.
If you were to ask the founding fathers what they thought the most serious crimes in a free nation ought to be, they would have said treason, followed by murder. But we sure don’t seem to fucking treat these two crimes with anywhere near the same severity.
