Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

Here's the cold hard truth... during most presidencies, the vast majority of people don't feel a significant change in their day to day lives and mostly end up voting for their party's candidate.

Trump was one of the most incompetent and hated presidents ever, lost the popular vote to HRC and needed Russia's and Comey's help to win. He would have easily beaten Biden had he simply not shot himself in the foot so much. But he couldn't help himself and worked really hard to lose, and he did so in style. He forced enough Americans to evaluate his performance and say "hey, this guy is really that bad huh". So it was bye bye Don.

Biden is vanilla ice cream. He will never shoot himself in the foot anywhere near as many times as TFG did to lose re-election. The lives of most people will not change materially under Biden, no matter how much Sally, or Gary, or FOX News cries about it. Biden will be re-elected again, and it will be even more assured by the GOAT loser fat boy trump running and embarrassing himself again.

TGF was an exception to the usual re-election of the incumbent. No matter how badly you tzees want Biden to also be an exception, like you also so badly wanted with Obama, it simply won't happen.

It really must suck to be an brainwashed as you.

The mouth breathers in those states don't vote blue anyway. And they won't be going to blue states, as they prefer to continue waiting for their mining jobs and voting against their own interest in the name of owning the libs.

I have seen data that in rural trump country inflation is higher and shelves are emptier. no doubt that encourages the rubes to think things are bad. I guess when you are poor and rural you just aren't that great at logistics and stuff, which results in inflation and emptier shelves.

Feel free to move to rich blue cities, citizens. You will be welcomed here with out expertise and superior supply chains.

First you said it's fake. Now it's real, but it's the rubes' fault for not moving to your city?

Anecdotally it feels like there are more empty shelves than ever here (Seattle and suburbs).

This is the only vague piece of data I can find on the subject: "The 89% rate of overall product availability (source: IRI) last week was consistent with levels throughout the last two years of pandemic, it's still below the 93% to 95% levels that retailers aimed for before the pandemic."

For food it's 86%. That sounds about right, my last grocery order had 26/30 items in stock.

Your take really makes no sense. I mean is everybody including Biden's people just getting duped into thinking there are supply chain problems?

You replied to yourself calling yourself "as brainwashed" as you (Ginamator).

Dude, get your sh%t together. Have you been drinking?

What would happen if Kamala Harris is nominated for the Supreme Court and there is a 50-50 tie in the Senate. She obviously can't cast the deciding vote in her own confirmation hearing. Who would then get to cast the deciding vote?

I know of nothing in the Constitution that says Harris could not vote for herself. Why do you think she can't cast the deciding vote? It would be an interesting situation though.

Breyer is retiring.

Two questions:

1. Will any Republicans vote "yes"?

2. If not, will Manchin or Sinema switch parties and vote "no"?

(If they vote "no", they will be thrown out of the D party anyway.)

Not so fast. It is starting to look like the Dems may NOT be able to fill the SCOTUS vacancy.

Cocaine Mitch and Crying Chuck agreed to a power-sharing plan in February that splits the Judiciary Committee in half: 11 Dem/11 GOP

Under the agreement, if there is a tie to advance the nominee out of Committee, the nomination is pretty much dead. Schumer can still bring the nomination to the entire Senate floor for a vote BUT since there was NO majority in the Committee, it faces a filibuster. Oops. Schumer needs 60 votes- that's not gonna happen.

The GOP are not going to break ranks, no way. They didn't for BBB or the filibuster and they won't do it to confirm a radical leftist to SCOTUS in 2022.

Remember Manchin voted against the Dems to change the filibuster rules. Also, the more radical of a nominee the Senile Blunder picks, the more likely they lose Manchin

This confirmation fight may go past the midterms.

Dare I say it?

Democrats lose again.

yeah, we seem to have found the same data. Shelves are only barely less full than before the pandemic. Some items are less available, sure. But overall, the same since 3/20 when things started going awry. Of course, Republicans were in charge in 2020 so they get the blame for 2020.

Of course there are supply chain issues. No one says there aren't. But shelves are barely less crowded than before over 6 million people died in a global pandemic.

And before the US economy boomed so hard that sales skyrocketed. Did you know that incoming containers at Los Angeles/Long Beach port have been running around 18% above last year? There is a buying surge that is hard to meet during a pandemic. This is not complicated. Not hard to understand that when you combine a pandemic with a buying tsunami a little less stuff will be sitting on shelves.

And yes, in rural trumpy areas I believe supply chains are less efficient so prices have risen more there, and shelves are probably a bit less full. This is not hard stuff.

What are we even arguing about? We seem to agree on everything.

pretty amazing the wins the Republicans have had.

So many presidents elected with fewer americans wanting them than the Democrat.

So often controlling the House and Senate with fewer votes

Controlling nominees to the supreme court with fewer voters.

It's really awful and embarrassing. No wonder Americans think the country is on the wrong course. The minority party tends to have more influence than the majority party. Most Americans don't have the country they want. They have a trumpy country when they want an Obama country.

"Breyer's replacement will be the 6th Democratic nominee since 1968, compared to 21 Republican nominees. (Of the prior 26 nominees, 4 Dems/16 Republicans were confirmed).

The badash Biden economic team wins again.

First read on 4Q GDP, if confirmed down the road, is the strongest 4Q since 1987.

This is after inflation, so don't start in with the 'but inflation' whining.

+6.9%, far higher than estimated.

That's some historical economic growth. We may not see this kind of number again for a long time.

Enjoy it, America and world!

Solving the debt problem by growing out of it.

The US economy grew 6.9% (annual rate) last quarter, beating expectations (5.5%) and recovering from Q3’s miss. Best Q4 since 1987. Excellent news!

The idea that Biden would nominate Harris to the court is nothing new.

As the article demonstrates, your idea that she couldn't vote for herself in the senate is just plain wrong.

So in that scenario it comes down to a rule change and we go back to my original question #2. Will Manchin or Sinema switch parties and vote "no"?

Manchin just announced he will not rubber-stamp Biden's SCOTUS nominee.

"...Surging energy prices are costing Americans more at the pump.

Nationwide, Americans are paying $3.34 per gallon on average for regular unleaded — a sharp increase from $2.40 per gallon from a year ago.

The trend is expected to get worse throughout this year. GasBuddy previously warned that prices at the pump could hit $4 per gallon by Memorial Day."

Biden threatens to punish europe with restricted gas supplies if russia invades ukraine;

to be fair, europe need to be told to have gas independent of russia anyhow.

What I said about Harris not being allowed to make the deciding vote in her own SC confirmation hea ring was not wrong. That article said that it might be possible for her to do it. Not that with certainty that she would be able to. Are you really okay with her being the deciding vote in her confirmation hearing? That stinks to high heaven.

m

Also, she would not be qualified to be a Supreme Court justice. Her own staff says how she refuses to read anything they prepare for her. She looks ridiculous izn the few interviews she gives. A Supreme Court justice has to read stuff and has to understand the constitution and she has demonstrated an ability to not be able to do that stuff. She is Border Czar and refuses to address the border issue. She is an embarrassment to the country.

Nowhere on fox news .com is there even a snarky mention that we learned today that economy is growing the fastest in almost 40 years.

What a joke right wingers are .

Dumb rubes.
