[QUOTE=MTK;1276516]How many trips do we think Trump took to Florida the last 4 years to play golf? Just curious what his eco impact was since we're suddenly so concerned about that. Hypocrisy is everywhere folks.[/QUOTE]But he specifically was not eco concerned.

If i say i dont think marshmallows are bad to eat and i eat marshmallows i am not being hypocritical, i am only being offensive to those who do think marshmallows are harmful.

If however i proclaim marshmallows to be a cause of incomparable damage to societal health and then proceed to eat the largest marshmallows available when a smaller marshmallow was available for the meal. THEN I am being a hypocrite.

Kerry defended move in interview with Icelandic reporter.

Agree this hypocritical and dumb. Going to change it though it is hypocritical of the democrats not the left. Kerry is an establishment democrat and very moderate. This is an example of why I have had such an issue with many of the establishment democrats.

[url]https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/trump-tariffs-driving-job-losses-production-cost-hikes-fed-says-2020-1-1028791979[/url]


President Trump's tariffs are harming the sector he pledged in 2016 to protect, according to a recent Federal Reserve study.
The president's 2018 tariffs fueled job loss throughout the ailing manufacturing industry and increased input costs, the December 23 study said.
The duties did provide some import protection to US-based firms, but any benefits were outweighed by boosted production expenses and retaliatory tariffs, the Fed added.
The findings come as the US manufacturing sector remains mired in recession and a separate report says 2019 brought the most job cuts in four years.

The Fed study, published December 23, explains how tariffs implemented in 2018 fueled job loss and increased input costs across US manufacturers. While the duties did provide some benefits to domestic firms, the negative effects outweighed the positive ones and harmed an already-ailing sector, the Fed wrote.

"For manufacturing employment, a small boost from the import protection effect of tariffs is more than offset by larger drags from the effects of rising input costs and retaliatory tariffs," authors Aaron Flaaen and Justin Pierce wrote. "For producer prices, the effect of tariffs is mediated solely through rising input costs."
The central bank noted that global supply chains also complicate the traditional utility of tariffs and other trade policy tools. The typical benefit of import protection fades away in today's global economy, according to the Fed, since reduced competition and higher production costs present greater harm in the short term.

First Kerry was not in the position in 2019 when he accepted the award , he used his own jet. People like chico and the other trump cult members would jump if Kerry took a flight and went first class, they will bitch about anything.

Second Kerry addressed it...................

[url]https://www.nationalreview.com/news/kerry-defended-taking-private-jet-to-iceland-for-environmental-award-the-only-choice-for-somebody-like-me/[/url]

"During the trip, Kerry was confronted by Icelandic reporter Jóhann Bjarni Kolbeinsson on whether his use of a private jet was an “environmental way to travel.”

“If you offset your carbon, it’s the only choice for somebody like me, who is traveling the world to win this battle,” Kerry responded.

The former secretary of state went on to emphasize his climate accomplishments, including negotiating the Paris accord for the U.S. and bringing Chinese President Xi to the table."
“I’ve been involved in this fight for years,” Kerry said.

“I believe the time it takes me to get somewhere, I can’t sail across the ocean, I have to fly to meet with people and get things done,” he continued. “But what I’m doing almost full-time is working to win the battle of climate change. And in the end, if I offset and contribute my life to do this, I’m not going to be put on the defensive.”

Last week, Kerry recommended that oil and gas workers should pivot to manufacturing solar panels if their jobs are eliminated as a consequence of the Biden administration’s environmental policies.

Biden signed several executive orders on climate change last week aimed at achieving the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. During his first week in office, the president reentered the Paris climate accord, from which the Trump administration withdrew the U.S. in 2017.

In the last two rounds of payments, individuals with prior-year incomes above $75,000 and couples with combined incomes above $150,000 got smaller checks or none at all. A whopping 90% of U.S. households received payments from the last round.

Democrats may lower the phaseout threshold to $50,000 for individuals and $100,000 for married couples, according to Democratic aides. (The Washington Post first reported the lower threshold was under consideration.)

Earlier this week, a group of 10 Republican senators met with Biden at the White House and pitched him on a significantly smaller $600 billion relief package. Their plan calls for just $1,000 direct payments while reducing the income limit that determines eligibility to $50,000.

I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out. Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.

Here she saying she had a near death experience on Jan 6

Ocasio-Cortez, a frequent target of right-wing vitriol, has said she had a “very close encounter where I thought I was going to die” during the riot.


It’s a 10 minute walk to the capital...this is a lie folks. Not a near death experience, she was never in danger, never attacked, no rioters were in the cannon building

It’s all inflammatory lie...Another Jussie Smollet folks

Also why would she attack the capital police in the video? The people protecting her?

She wasn’t a victim...it’s a disgraceful, lying person who needs to seek professional help instead of getting on social media like a fucking clown.

Not only did the unemployment rate continue to fall, but the percentage of Americans aged 25 to 54 either employed or looking for a job saw its first sustained rise since the late 1980s. This inflection point changed the character of the labor market.

In 2016, real median household income was $62,898, just $257 above its level in 1999. Over the next three years it grew almost $6,000, to $68,703. That’s perhaps why, despite the pandemic, 56% of U.S. voters polled last month said their families were better off today than they were four years ago.[/quote]

2014 median income was 58k
2016 62.8k (rate increase of 2.4k per year)
2019 68.7k (1.96k increase per year)

Yet another trend that President Obama started that Voldemort inherited. While he couldnt keep up with President Obama's pace, few could, I give him credit for not royaly screwing it up.

President Obama added 7.9 million jobs in his final 35 months vs the other guy's 6.7 in his first 35 months

A result of Counties and States already having scheduled minimum wage to increase. Example - Montgomery County passed legislation increasing minimum wage from $10.75 in 2017 to $15 by 2020.

4.327 Trillion for the other guy for his only 4 years

Voldemort; I'm unfamiliar with this term. But I prefer Bunker Boy.

So Trump inherited it and sustained/improved it (pre-COVID), wouldn't that deserve credit?

Revision history on Obama's presidency is the strongest force in the world.

Breakdown of the last 3 presidencies:

- Bush 2 sucked and did every wrong
- Obama was the most amazing president ever born, he fixed everything Bush did wrong, his economy was the greatest the world has ever seen, and he was so good he gets all credit for anything good that happened during Trump's presidency
- Bunker Boy is the devil incarnate, who literally did not accomplish 1 thing during his presidency

And for the next 4 years, Biden won't be held accountable for anything. It will all be blamed on Trump.

Re: To 2021 and Beyond .... current politics
 

I think Pres. Biden ending support for forces supported by Saudi Arabia in Yemen is going to backfire. Iran has to be rejoicing that Biden is quickly making them a more stable country. Being the cynic I bet that we will see an increase in foreign terrorism in the next two years, and of course the response will be that we have to re-do the Iran Nuclear deal or some similar response that it makes it the US' fault for inciting them.

^the Middle East is in the best shape it’s been in decades.

I’m sure Biden will fuck it up again. Him and Obama were a fuckin disaster in the Middle East...we were being attacked by terrorist monthly...they enabled the isis genocide, had Americans getting their heads cut off on tv...gave half billion to Iran which directly funded the houthis rebels in Yemen, arming dictator in the Syria and Hezbollah terrorists against Israel. Then told the American people that a mean YouTube video cause Benghazi and not terrorist.

With Trump Gone, The Media No Longer Cares About ‘Kids In Cages’

As I reported earlier this week, the Biden administration is using euphemisms to distance itself from everything the media claimed to hate about the Trump administration and its treatment of illegal immigrants. For example, “cages” are now called “hard-sided structures.” Trump was also relentlessly attacked for his “tent cities.” Biden is reopening one of these facilities to hide the children of illegal immigrants, and it may require tents, but don’t worry, they’re not really “tents,” they’re now “semi-permanent (soft-sided)” structures.

Those euphemisms were in an official statement from the Department of Health and Human Services announcing it would reopen a “temporary Influx Care Facility.”

The issue on the border has been around for decades. It was the Obama administration that built the “cages” used by the media as a cudgel against Trump. It wasn’t until Trump was in office when people began sharing a 2014 article and photo (when Obama was still in office) to start talking about “kids in cages.”


Only idiots and liars refuse to see the double standard of the media at this point. The trump administration produced the hard evidence receipts which clearly states Obama and Biden originally built the cages and tents...when trump used them it was apparently bad....now Biden already opening them up again and the media is trying to re-label what they are...

Chico, you're my boy blue, but you should create a Biden "enough is enough" type thread. Your posts are all about shitting on Biden, which in general I get, anyone that is not a democrat, has got the business for the last 4 years, so turnabout is fair play.

But, not that my opinions mean 2 shits more than anyone else's, I'd kinda like a 2 thread system, similar to what we have for COVID.

It would be nice to have a thread where we can share things we might somewhat agree on or somewhat disagree on.

And then have another thread for where the strong disagreements are shared. A political Festivus airing of the grievances thread.
