Annihilated the middle class? You're full of sh!t.
55% of Americans own stock. Markets are down since Biden took office (and way down YTD).
65% of Americans own homes. Housing is down (DJUSRE is down 27% YTD).
Everyone needs food, energy, health care, goods and services. All of those are way up since Biden took office.
The amount of wealth lost by those in the middle class since Biden took office is astounding. Democrats should feel ashamed.
Yes, the Biden Administration has been very effective at getting legislation passed (that happens when you control the executive branch and the congress). The flip side of that coin is when everything goes to crap, there is nobody to blame but yourself.
Meh. The stock market is down in 2022. Big freakin' deal. We all survived the MUCH bigger stock market crash during Bush's Presidency. None of that has anything to do with Joe Biden being in the White House. We would have the same situation right now had Trump won in 2020...the pandemic was a real thing, and it caused the HUGE spike in GDP in 2021 and then now the inflation that follows. Stocks are on sale. You want low prices so much...well, there you go. Go buy some.
So today you wanna rehash your corporation funded climate changed denialism. Sure, go for it. THE MODELS THE MODELS THEYRE WRONG THE MODELS. Glad we got that out of the way.
Expect some oil pipelines to get blown up. That’s what the leftists are currently advocating for, and it’ll start to happen more and more.
I don't care what corporations do.
Only morons are worried about global warming.
Only mentally ill leftists are so worried about that they feel the need to light themselves on fire.
Even more fun, they probably couldn't even name the #1 greenhouse gas if you asked them and the topic is literally the primary focus of their worthless lives.
I think we owe it to the future to do something about the planet heating up. Of course the crazed narcissists who light themselves on fire are mentally ill, but it doesn't mean they are wrong. One of my favorite movies is Okja (on Netflix) for the way it depicts the animal rights activists as crazy people with their own agenda that doesn't always align with the good of the people around them or even all animals.
As Americans living in the current era, the climate will not effect us. That's what makes it so hard to support doing anything about it. What do I care if half a billion climate refugees in the middle east try to evacuate to livable areas and get mowed down by machine guns at the border? My children's children, if I can help it, will inherit decent generational money, go to nice schools, live in nice areas, and should be ultimately unaffected by the gross human tragedy that I think is inevitable. But I'm not going to vote for it.

Are you saying, "I'M JUST TROLLING", with that (bolded text)?
Home prices are UP enormously. Enough so that many folks have legitimate complaints that LOTS of folks are now priced out of the market.
Q2 Average Home Prices
2020 - $374,500
2021 - $440,600 (UP 18%)
2022 - $525,000 (UP 19%)

Do you even understand what DJUSRE measures (and why it is irrelevant to the average home owner)?
These Trumpers are out of their minds.
They couldn't have cared less when the unemployment rate spiked to 14.7% when Trump was in office. They didn't care when there was a recession in 2020 and then overall a bad economy in that year. They didn't care that there were fewer Americans with jobs when Trump left office than when he started his term (the first since Hoover to have that be the case). They like to say "pre-pandemic" all the time when crediting Trump for how the economy was going...skating on Obama's coattails then, of course.
And then they ignore the fact that under Biden's watch, there have been more than 9 million jobs created. The unemployment rate plummeted to an all-time low. Wages went up, especially for lower class people. Yes inflation. Yes a bad stock market in 2022. Pandemic-cased and...meh.
It's all deflection though and perhaps a little bit of them trying to feel good about continuing to support Trump, because the ONLY front-page news today is Trump's legal issues and justice coming at him hard and fast. Just below the fold on the front page is the stupid Supreme Court decision to get rid of Roe v. Wade which has empowered women and turned more of them into registered voters than ever before.
The ONLY good thing about Trump being in office and the ensuing far right-wing insanity that has followed is the following that almost for sure would NOT have happened had his racist dumb POS ass not been in office:
1) More women and people of color in elected political office than ever before
2) NASCAR banning the Confederate Battle Flag
3) Confederate statues and monuments coming down nationwide
4) NFL Washington Redskins and MLB Cleveland Indians names no more
5) More women registered to vote than ever before
As much as the misogynist and racist right-wing Trumpers wanted to hold women and minorities down, that nonsense backfired on them big time. Trump probably helped push liberal ideals a decade faster (or more) than we would have gotten there. They have hastened their becoming dinosaurs. Dumb@sses.
When the GOP retakes the House Kevin McCarthy promises the first action will be to repeal the bill providing for 87,000 new IRS agents. I think we can all agree this would be great.

That's not "law enforcement." That is the weaponization of the IRS. LOis Lerner and Obama weaponized the IRS to target conservative groups. Of the groups they targeted and investigated, 501 were conservative groups and like 1, 1!, was a liberal group. That, ladies and gentlemen, is Weaponizing the IRS.

Step one would be figuring out how and why it's heating up.
Anything you do before that is just idiotic.
We still have no idea why it's warming.
What we know with 100% certainty is that nothing in the Paris Climate Accords will do a damn thing to change the climate.
I do think there are probably 12 billionaires keeping the GOP alive and neither those billionaires nor the GOP want that to be known.
Meanwhile, 'conservatives' like Sally do the billionaires' bidding by endlessly weaking the IRS's ability to collect tax from them.
You are a good tool, Sallster. You take orders from your superiors very well.
Don't have any "superiors." I want equal treatment for all. No preferential treatment for anyone. You rise and fall on your own merits. If some people need helping out, I am all for it. But don't give any preferential treatment to anyone who doesn't need it.
All the Libs here who condemned Matt Gates here for months need to come and say "I am sorry. I was stupid to put the cart before the horse. I was a dummy.."

only sending this from the purest sense of optimism, but give this a gander, billionaire-aide. tell us what you find.
In 2013, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS), under the Obama administration, revealed that it had selected political groups applying for tax-exempt status for intensive scrutiny based on their names or political...

Do you honestly think the story about it being BS all along with make it into their bubble?
The media CONSTANTLY lies intentionally knowing full well that the people they seek to manipulate will never see the inevitable retraction.

I mean we have some idea. I'm not going to become a climate scientist just so I can make an argument, but most (vast majority) of the scientists who study it agree that humans are causing it. As far as I know, you aren't a climate scientist or scientist at all, so I don't know how you could confidently say one way or the other. I choose to believe in our institutions. I think the sort of conspiracy level thinking that the climate problem is all one big ploy to give the government more control is a little ridiculous.
I certainly don't think we need to dismantle capitalism to fix the problem either, but we do need to pull some levers and greatly incentivize the change. I'm not really an optimist though as I've pointed out. I don't think humanity is capable to changing quick enough to avoid the disaster and we better hope it won't be as bad as we project it to be.

Political nonsense.
GOP scare tactics.
"The 87,000 number appears to come from a 2021 Treasury Department estimate of the level of hiring needed to maintain IRS efficiency and keep up with retirements and other staff declines. However, the actual number of new IRS agents that will be hired because of the Inflation Reduction Act remains to be seen."
The United States DOES need to collect revenue due to it. This DOES require people to work for the IRS. Biden hasn't summoned a mob of IRS agents to come after Bubba for an extra $12.

No that's a lie. The vast majority of scientists do not agree that humans are causing the warming. They agree that humans put greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and they those gases contribute to warming. To what degree humans are causing the warming science has absolutely NO IDEA. Which is why the models are all so hilariously wrong. They don't understand the system so they can't model it.
The ice caps are supposed to be gone. The great lakes are supposed to be drying up. The Great Barrier Reef is supposed to be dead. Florida is supposed to be underwater.
All of the predictions turn out to be wrong.
Reasonable people notice this and wonder if maybe the people fear mongering about these things are motivated by something other than science.

Global warming is a business.
The ice caps are not supposed to be gone. I know Al Gore said some stuff about the summer sea ice that everyone took to mean that he thought the ice caps would be gone, but that was never his prediction. I'm glad we can at least agree on the basic science of greenhouse gasses being put into the atmosphere contributing to warming. Kind of like we agree on stimulus money contributing to inflation, but you seem fine to draw a firm conclusion there but not here for whatever reason.
Some people said some things that turned out to not be true. I think the reasonable thing to do would be to continue to analyze the data, the science, etc., and not just have a gut reaction to the "fear mongering" as if one bad prediction means the whole thing is fake. That's truly silly thinking.

Al Gore said the northern ice cap would be gone by 2014 during his acceptance speech for this Nobel prize in 2007. Even worse he wasn't making his own prediction he was referring to a scientific study. Imagine being a scientist that GD stupid...
Al Gore speaking about the northern sea ice in 2007:
"One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years. Another new study, to be presented by U.S. Navy researchers later this week, warns it could happen in as little as 7 years. Seven years from now."
Climate zealots didn't say "some things" that turned out not to be true. Pretty much EVERYTHING they said didn't turn out to be true.
It's not "one bad prediction" it's DOZENS of bad predictions.

Yes, the SEA ice. The ice in the sea surrounding the ice caps. The prediction was still wrong but he did not predict the whole ice cap would be gone. And I don't care if there are a hundred bad predictions if the science is still all pointing in the right (or wrong) direction.
