You're right, it doesn't.

It just demonstrates that YOU are NUTS!!

Where in creation did you get this nonsensical idea?? "... no Bible believing born again Christian, who lives for God and knows his Bible at all - - would support the Democrat party, and their doctrines of devils."

Fact is, millions of fine believing Americans do this every year.

Your political ideas are baseless, erroneous, and (Thank Ussen!!) meaningless as YOU don't get a vote or a meaningful say-so!!

BUT, they sure do reveal just how really NUTZ and full of fear you are.

Heh heh.. You sound a little upset/ I'd rather be nuts than a democrat

So how's your day been so far?

You definitely got your wish. You are nuts.

Me nuts ? and you with the loose screws in the attic.. and there is also a nut loose behind the steering wheel of your car

Blah blah Pllll

the fact that you think I am nuts and have screws loose in the attic is probably the best case for my being sane that I can think of.

This is getting to be fun.. Ok, I admit to having faults, and the brain sometimes goes a bit gonzo.. but I am still glad I am not you

and may the Lord bless you and keep you (seriously)

I am glad you are not me as well...finally something we can agree on!! I am also glad I am not you.

May He do the same for you. (Seriously)

I Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman. Anne Coulter too

So hit me with your best shot. Fire away

No shots to hit you with. You can love whoever you want, even if it does not seem logical to me. Personally, I love my family and friends. That's it.

The stock market has collapsed on Joe Biden’s watch, taking trillions in Americans’ hard-earned wealth with it.

I made the mistake of opening one of Doug's posts and I have to respond. It is the economy, stupid!
Biden has created 3x as many jobs as the last 3 GOP presidents combined. GDP annualized growth under Biden is 5.7%. It was 1.00% under Trump.

All of which makes Biden's first year in the White House the standout among the seven previous presidents, based on 10 market and economic indicators given equal weight. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, no one comes close to matching Biden's combination of No. 1 and No. 2 rankings for each of the measures:

• Gross domestic product (1)
• Profit growth (1)
• S&P 500 performance (2)
• Consumer credit (1)
• Non-farm payrolls (2)
• Manufacturing jobs (2)
• Business productivity (2)
• Dollar appreciation (2)
• S&P 500 relative performance (2)

I will make a mistake and respond to this. I usually avoid this forum since hypocrites reside here.
Unemployment before the covid pandemic was 3.5%
Now under Biden it is currently 3.6%
The jobs were there before covid and most of them have just refilled since the lockdowns have been lifted after he became president.
He hasn't "created" any jobs.......... they've just been refilled.

Same can be said for GDP growth, tie the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns into the equation and the economy went into freefall. Then when it reopened Biden, the Democrats and left-wing media say it is growth but it is really just recovery, not growth.
They can't fool everyone..

And the economy only recovered so quickly BECAUSE of the stimulus which helped increase inflation. Without the heavy stimulus, we would likely be in a massive economic recession.

You act like it's inevitable that jobs would have recovered. It wasn't.

I made the mistake of opening one of Doug's posts and I have to respond. It is the economy, stupid!
Biden has created 3x as many jobs as the last 3 GOP presidents combined. GDP annualized growth under Biden is 5.7%. It was 1.00% under Trump.

All of which makes Biden's first year in the White House the standout among the seven previous presidents, based on 10 market and economic indicators given equal weight. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, no one comes close to matching Biden's combination of No. 1 and No. 2 rankings for each of the measures:

• Gross domestic product (1)
• Profit growth (1)
• S&P 500 performance (2)
• Consumer credit (1)
• Non-farm payrolls (2)
• Manufacturing jobs (2)
• Business productivity (2)
• Dollar appreciation (2)
• S&P 500 relative performance (2)

I will make a mistake and respond to this. I usually avoid this forum since hypocrites reside here.
Unemployment before the covid pandemic was 3.5%
Now under Biden it is currently 3.6%
The jobs were there before covid and most of them have just refilled since the lockdowns have been lifted after he became president.

Agree to disagree. Covid and supply chain issues made it difficult to get people to work.
Leadership had a lot to do with creating the lowest unemployment ever.

You give very little credit to maintaining an economy during a pandemic killing over 1 million people here.

Economic markers are only for presidents and parties you like it seems like you are saying.
The stimulus actions were aggressive steps to counter a possible depression. It was totally attacked by the red army. And later many republicans took credit for how the stimulus helped their state.
Now that should elicit some of that don’t get fooled or lied to.
Trump inherited a robust growing economy.
Biden inherited a covid economy.

As for they can’t fool everybody that’s a tad cynical.
The numbers are the numbers. It does not matter if you want to call recovery.
The “recovery” exceeded all expectations.

And the physical infrastructure bill did create a lot of jobs. Nor should one fail to acknowledge that most industrial countries have high inflation because of supply chains and suffering from the war with regard to oil imports from Russia and wheat from Ukraine

Which you know because you have a crystal ball. It may have turned out to be the exact opposite and would have recovered without a stimulus, no one will ever really know. So I hope you enjoyed the short-term gain from the stimulous which everyone is now paying for through inflation which has us in a recession which will probably turn massive.

People need money and if someone isn't giving it to them, (aka, the government) they have to go out and get it. Usually through jobs. Yes, inevitably jobs would have recovered.

Wrong. It was lower before the pandemic than it is now.
