The way things are going, the Democrats may lose America for more than a generation.

Gotta make up the rich speculators lost profits when they were paying people to take their contracted oil. LOL. Most of economy is combination of pure scam and game of musical chairs. Nothing new, lot of our wealthy founding fathers speculated in Indian land. And lost their collective ass. Some won of course. Getting rich is more gambling than hard work.

If you think these are hard times then you've grown soft. The current events are barely a bump in the road. Trump was a lunatic nightmare and I'm not sorry he's out of office.

I agree completely.

I think that they way things are going that there almost has to be some kind of larger plan here. You can't screw things up this badly I just don't think. Something past incompetency is at play here. Things are happening in way that just feels like they are trying to soften people up for dramatic changes to the country.

I'll take Clinton over Obama. I think Obama really started to usher in this racial division schtick that the Dems are playing.

I agree. Most of the nightmarish stuff is related to the poor loser Trump supporters who have lived off of the cool-aid so long they can't recognize reality, continue with the Big Lie, and refuse to take COVID seriously. Anybody following Trump would have a lot of clean-up work to do even if there would be full support. Trump soiled his own nest and it will take a while to recover.

Ineffectual? I beg to differ.

There's two ways this last year can bee seen, as far as I can tell.

The first view assumes incompetence. Our President doesn't know what he's doing. From that perspective, his incompetence has been anything but ineffectual. His actions and policies have had enormous, albeit disastrous, effects.

The second assumes intention. If he's not incompetent, then his actions and policies are having the desired effect. The opposite of ineffectual.

Which is correct? It's probably some of both, but heavily tilting toward intention.

He's all in on the Great Reset ("Build Back Better" is a GR slogan - since before Biden started using it), and everything he's "accomplished" is lock-step in line with the GR agenda.

He's not dialing back any of the policies which created or exacerbated the problems, despite massive pushback from the public.

Businesses ("stakeholders" in GR language) are carrying out his agenda for him, absolving him of any responsibility for them. That's textbook fascism, and also part of the GR plan.

No, he's not ineffectual. Not if you understand what the people running him are trying to accomplish.

His wanting things his way is what got things done.

A high tide raises all ships. Isn't that one of you guys favorite sayings?

That's the way it works. Everyone pays school taxes, whether their kids are in school or not. And that doesn't apply at all to the screamers who don't even live in the district.

I don't recall the Democrats screaming about fake news, election fraud, or any that garbage when Trump won in 2016.
