The sugar high economy he fostered was going to have issues, covid or not. We should’ve raised interest rates when times were excellent but we kept trucking along as if 2.5% home mortgage rates and such were going to be standard forever. Companies got spoiled on more than a decade of essentially “free money,” and now that things have an interest rate they can feel they are flipping the fuck out.

Also 2019 was pre-pandemic. The economic effects weren’t being felt at all yet.

And republicans and will make it worse and the election is months away.

Give me a viable solution.

a vote for a 3rd party is a vote for the opponent. Everyone says this. I simply do not buy it.

Doesn’t matter what you “buy” it’s about what the data tells us.

But let’s set that aside. Want to know why voting 3rd party is a waste of time? Because suddenly people get passionate about it months before the general election. Where are y’all the other 3.5 years of the presidential term? Where are your local and state level candidates? Why do you feel entitled to my attention and vote if all people like you do is complain and hope for a moonshot third option at the last fucking minute when you refuse to be engaged the rest of the time?

Change takes work. Third party advocates need to get to work. Y’all are generally just lazy and entitled and disengaged, then come crying about how you’re not included every presidential election year. The data tells us this.

Yes, the deck is stacked against third-party candidates. Yes, it is going to be difficult. But I won’t really give a shit what you have to say until you actually put in a little elbow grease.

Source?

Source needed. That’s the issue.

“Suspicious at best” is about as generous as that can be.

Yeah that’s always sort of been my take. And with how insanely leaky his admin was, there’s no way he could’ve kept that hidden for 4 years.

I did read it and I actually went and found stuff, there’s no need to be an ass about it - it’s clearly true about “Dr. Candy.” The issue is there’s nothing here saying “Trump was popping uppers/downers.” Surely we can agree those are 2 different claims? Obviously it would probably take the first one to be true for the second one to be true, but the first being true doesn’t mean that’s proof of the second.

Is this a real report from a reputable source? I hear a lot of accusations about his alleged drug abuse but I’ve never seen proof.

Trust me I have a long list of critiques of that garbage human being. But I don’t want to be parroting unproven things.

Edit: found some interesting stuff but to be clear this seems to be a WH problem that got worse under Trump but existed under Obama. Of course a now-GOP Congressman likely started it because…well, that’s the republicans for you. Anyway that’s not evidence trump was popping pills all the time, but it’s still bad overall that this was happening.

Ok

Intel is plastered on Thor my comment is very understandable. Thanks for being contrarian when it’s obvious why I’d point that out though.

Intel is not a hero lmfao

All good, I could’ve been less curt there too.

I didn’t ask if people do I said “why?” I am well aware cable news has an audience.

Why does anyone watch cable news anymore? The only time I see CNN is when I’m at an airport.
