Bad news of the 80 or so millions who voted for Biden/Harris. Trump was a crazy fucker at times. As some one suggested a group of senators should have reined him in instead of kissing his ass and allowing him to run free.
It is well documented Biden is an idiot. Sec of Defense and CIA Director Gates stated every decision Biden ever made was wrong. You are going to be waiting in gas lines, looking for a job when there are none to have and wondering how you will pay your sky high taxes. China and Russia will be world powers because our military will be equipped with broken out dated garbage. You will then look back at that crazy bastard Trump. He really pissed you off at times but damn life was so much better.

This is where we have huge disagreements. The Ryan/McConnell/Trump corporate tax cuts and deregulation played a big part in bringing pre-Covid unemployment down to record low levels, and boosting middle class wages more in one year than what we saw during all 8 years of Obama's terms. And Obama had the advantage of coming out of a recession. Admittedly, Covid wrecked that. But our economic performance during Covid has been better than most Western (non-Asian) developed countries.

The belief that Trump's judges were incompetent is misplaced. Conservative, yes, incompetent, no. They were carefully vetted (not by Trump of course), and when Trump attempted to overturn the election, they ruled against him. That's not to say I necessarily would agree with his picks. While I vote Republican and Libertarian mostly, I usually vote for Democrats for the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. While I'm a strong believer in reform of the criminal justice system, I mostly don't give a flying fuck who the judges are. I figure the Republican judges are probably more favorable for business and the Democrats for criminal reform, so it's a wash.

Finally, on Obamacare -- Obama, Trump, the Republicans, the Democrats, they've done nothing to improve our health care system. A pox on all their houses. We spend 18% of GDP on health care, a ridiculous amount that will bankrupt the country. And still people slip through the cracks. In rankings, we're typically behind Costa Rica and about even with Cuba in health care outcomes. Originally Posted by Tiny

Excellent analysis, tiny.

Unfortunately it's probably wasted on a poster who doesn't even know the difference between rein and reign!

But I agree that McConnell’s speech was principled and powerful. Unfortunately the jackasses sitting across the aisle from Mitch have NO principles they are unwilling to trash in their amoral pursuit of power!
