"The higher gas prices, higher food prices, increase in automobile prices due to the increase in steal prices"
Gas was bound to go up after it dropped substantially during the pandemic, then demand increased faster than refineries opened. That's nothing to do with Biden.
Food prices are a similar story. Workers are in short supply, so food costs more. Steel prices have been increasing for the exact same reasons, as well as sanctions on Chinese steel.
"the 11,000 jobs lost on his first day in office"
You mean the jobs that didn't exist yet and relied on a pipeline that broke multiple Native American treaties being broken? Those jobs?
"the endless printing of money that is going to eventually bust our economy"
Not really. They're balancing the printing of money in a multitude of ways. They don't do these sorts of things on a whim.
"cancelation of the XL pipeline"
Now you're just repeating yourself.
"What made Trump a an embarrassment?"
Well the:
600K dead from covid
Massive unemployment
Increases to the deficit before the pandemic even hit
Permanent tax breaks for corporations while barely lowering our own taxes
Being laughed at by world leaders at the UN
Rolling back environmental protections
Making fun of a reporter's disability
Pulling out of the Paris Accord
Pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal
Lying constantly
The dude is a joke.
"the lowest unemployment rate in decades especially among black americans"
Thanks Obama
"minimal inflation, increase in income, lower taxes and gas prices"
Trump doesn't control the gas prices. The rest of those are again due to him increasing the deficit and floating off the Obama economy.
"he 4 middle east peace deals"
How are those working out? Oh right, the peace deals had nothing to do with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and did literally nothing to ease tensions in the Middle East. All it really did was give legitimacy to authoritarian leaders in the Middle East.
"You are free to dislike Trump, but what about his policies didn't you like? Not his personality but his policies?"
Sure. Policies like:
Making Obamacare more expensive
Funneling Pentagon funds for an ecologically disasters and ineffective wall
Setting zero federal covid rules for masking or safety
Allowing the postal service to have their prices increased and services reduced with the removal of mail sorting machines shortly before the election
Reducing government oversight of agencies
Removed 755K Americans from SNAP
Lowered the overtime pay threshold
Enflamed tensions in Palestine through several policies, including declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel
Outright denying covid would be an issue for months on end, endangering millions of Americans in the process
Dissolved several layers or pandemic response shortly before the pandemic.
This is on top of the stuff I mentioned. His policies were a disaster all round and did nothing but put us in debt and make us completely unprepared for the pandemic.

"a pervert who makes women uncomfortable"
We're talking about Biden, not Trump, stay on topic rather than talking about the guy walking into the changing rooms at Miss Teen USA.
"gets in their space, sniffs their hair"
They've directly spoken to people from these photos and they say nothing of the sort. In fact, ex-defense secretary's wife says the viral photo of her is used 'misleadingly'. Stephanie Carter said former vice-president had his hands on her shoulders ‘as a means of offering his support’.
"makes and makes racist remarks"
Again, stick to Biden, the guy that was so anti-segregation he wanted to integrate neighborhoods before it was cool.
"His blonde leg hair amazed black kids"
So? Kids get interested by stuff that they find different, which as the time this was. He was at a pool. This is not weird.
"you can't go to a dunkin donuts without having an indian accent. "
Talking about the rate at which immigrants support the economy, and how we can't keep ignoring foreign key workers just because they work in the service industry. Again, literally the opposite of racism.
"Claims he marched for civil rights, then retracts the claim and admits he only worked at a black swimming pool and wasn't down in selma marching nor anywhere else marching."
That wasn't the claim. He commented that he was an activist and he took part of 2 protests, but neither of those protests were marches. This has been confirmed by eye witnesses. He was part of both a walk out and a picketing.
"Black kids are just as bright as white kids."
This comment is correct, and the fact it needs to be said is more sad than anything. Do you have some different opinion?
"All of these quotes from a guy who was at the top of his class, has 3 degrees and claims to be very smart. Oops, not true either."
He earned a double degree where he double-majored in history and political science, plus a law degree later. He has 3 degrees.
"The only inspiring speech he has ever given was plagiarized."
If you think that was his only inspiring speech then it's probably the only bad one. Maybe he should just tell poor people to stop being poor, then you would clap.
So again, you are a disingenuous prick. The best part was here:
"Trump and George W. seem like a Harvard professors."
Was it Trump making fun of the disabled reporter that did it for you? How about when he failed to finish literally a single sentence, instead finding some way to tangent back to his own ego. Honestly, Trump made potatoes look eloquent.

@poopdeckpappy2658
"the supply chain is still a mess"
This is a global issue, and while it is getting better, it will take time.
"The border is an absolute disaster"
Not really surprising. They banned people from seeking asylum in the US, then when the law reverted all the people at the border came across. This compounded with the sharp rise in poverty from the pandemic has caused the recent increases. That being said, asylum seekers are a net gain for the economy.
"Oh yes, remember she went down to Guatemala to address the “root causes” of poverty"
Yes. The thing is, you only really need to meet once to know the issue. The region is poor and they need money for infrastructure to reduce the number of asylum seekers leaving to go to the US. Not rocket science.
"so we wouldn’t have any more illegals?"
They're asylum seekers.
"The border patrol is playing catch and release with almost 200,000 illegal immigrants crossing the border every month"
Asylum seekers, get it right.
"we have no idea who these people are, what their intent is and what diseases or viruses they carry."
They are tested and offered the vaccine on entry. They are also documented on entry.
"Inflation is at a whopping 6.8%, only slated to get worse"
Well sure, we had a pandemic and spent over $6 trillion. Add that to the tax cuts that dramatically increased the national debt and it's no wonder the debt rose $7 trillion under Trump alone.
"one recent research study stated inflation this past year has cost the average American family $3500"
But real median household income is up in the last year with millions starting new jobs.
"And Biden wants to spend 3 trillion more with money we don’t have for money we print on a printing press?"
No, he wants to raise taxes, and the spending for his bill is over 10 years. Many of the programs in the bill, like childcare, pay massive dividends for the economy in the long run.
"When Trump left office America was energy independent"
No, it wasn't. We were briefly during his presidency, but oil at the time was a negative price. We were literally making zero money from energy independence. The truth is just that demand dropped. Supply actually dropped as well during the pandemic, but demand dropped more.
"Biden quickly killed the Keystone pipeline and hundreds of good union paying jobs."
Temporary jobs, that would in the long run result in 15 permanent US jobs, just so we can buy more oil from Canada. Not sure if you understand what energy independence is, but buying oil from Canada is not on the list.
"Gas prices shot up and Biden went begging to OPEC to start drilling for more oil."
Because they massively reduced production during the pandemic, and still aren't anywhere near pre-pandemic levels.
"Biden completely botched our withdrawal from Afghanistan and I am hearing we are still trying to get Americans out of there"
The agreement made by Trump was far too short of a timeline. Military experts predicted it would take over a year to withdraw from the region, and even with Biden extending the timeline, we were barely able to get out. The agreement was a joke, and Trump should have started the withdrawal months in advance to actually succeed.
"Biden got Americans killed and captured in that withdrawal and left $167 billion worth of military equipment on the ground for the Taliban and Isis to get their hands on."
Most of which will be useless. Not a single captured vehicle will still be running right now. US military vehicles are notorious for needing ridiculous amounts of maintenance due to their massive weights.
"That includes tanks, machine guns, choppers, self-propelled grenades and thousands and thousands of rounds of ammo. Thanks Joe. "
Because ISIS never had machine guns, RPGs and ammo..... The rest won't be working.
"Putin has massed troops on the Ukrainian border and Biden is doing what?"
Publicly backed Ukraine in the event of an invasion. If you hadn't noticed Russia has had troops in Ukraine for years now, attacking people at the border almost constantly.
"Employers are begging like I’ve never seen in my lifetime for more employees and are willing to pay high wages and benefits to get them."
So you're saying wages are going up. Sounds great, thanks Biden.
"They still can’t fill the jobs in part because Joe wants to keep giving everybody a government stimulus check. Why work when you can stay home and get paid for it?"
This really makes me doubt your claim about employers offering high wages. Maybe you just think $9 an hour is a good wage, but in reality if it's not $15 then why would I. Low paying jobs like that don't even cover rent in my area, never mind food.
Maybe do your research before spouting off.

@dukecarraway1762 Keystone was 11K temporary seasonal jobs over 2 years. Biden also saves $1.9 billion for a pipeline that was between 2 places we already have a larger pipeline running between. We are not selling oil to China to compensate for this. We are just transporting the oil differently to the same countries.
Gas is up because US refineries are closed down due to covid safety, and people are starting to drive more than they were 6 months ago. Considering global oil prices went negative last year, is it really a surprise this is now increasing?
Unemployment is down, so that's just a flat out lie. Current unemployment is lower than it was several years after the financial crisis. Trump almost hit 15%, a historic high.
Of course more illegal crossings are happening. Trump stopped letting people in so they ended up waiting at the border for months or years. Illegal crossings are bound to increase when it seems like the only option. Of course if you actually look at the numbers, illegal crossing were far higher in 2019, with May 2019 hitting 144K, February this year only hit 100K. This trend matches recent history and is expected to rise for the reasons I gave, but even if we go higher than in 2019, that is only showing that the drops in 2020 due to covid have offset the the current increases we now see. People who waiting longer are combining with new people trying to cross.
Texas was always a crime state, mainly because of the Texans.
During Trump the migrant facilities were overflowing, causing them to house migrants in hotels by renting out whole floors.
Biden, by not separating kids from their families, allowing him to quickly turn around migrants and send them back. Trump's policy of essentially stealing children makes it impossible for us to then empty those facilities until the families are reunited. And that's assuming they even can be reunited. Some of these kids will have to age out of the system because their families will never come back for them, for one reason or another. So thanks to Trump we may be stuck with hundreds of children in permanent detention until they are 18 years old.
I haven't seen anything about an increase in force in Iraq and Syria, care to elaborate? The only thing I have seen was a single precision strike on Iran backed militia weapons smugglers at the Syrian-Iraq border who recently rocketed Americans in Iraq. Biden's approach was said to be more conservative than many of the options given:
The American airstrikes on Thursday “specifically destroyed multiple facilities located at a border control point used by a number of Iranian-backed militia troops, including Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada,” Mr. Kirby said.
“This proportionate military response was conducted together with diplomatic measures, including consultation with coalition partners,” he added. “The operation sends an unambiguous message: President Biden will act to protect American and coalition personnel.”
So he didn't out of the blue order a strike on an Iranian general or anything stupid like that.

@GodIsCallingUs__ Um no. We have evidence that cities existed, not that your magic man destroyed them. There is also no evidence of a global flood anywhere.
Books being accurate to other versions of the same book isn't really proof of anything. I'd also love to see historical accounts from these witnesses. I know they didn't wrote any though because we have actual historians at the time who were silent. Your prophesies are a joke. You are applying loose terms to fit your narratives. Books written by men are tricking you.
No, Fauci didn't lie, and your belief otherwise is just sad. Keep with the propaganda though. I'm sure you believe an optician before a virologist, but nobody knows why.
Trump referred to people as animals in either of your interpretations. This is always unacceptable.
He also tried to overturn the election, but your nationalistic claims of him being the one true American are really solidifying why you are okay with sedition.
Trump bent over backwards for Russia, letting them get away with election, interference, and made US companies pay tariffs to punish China. North Korean talks fell through as well. And he couldn't even pull out of the middle east, failing against ISIS as they were defeated by the Kurds, the SDF, the Iraqi government, Russia, and yes the US, along with other countries allied to the US. He however pulled out of the region before ISIS was even handled.
Meanwhile, Biden called out Putin as a murderer, called out the Chinese government for bother Uighurs and Hong Kong, sanctioned Chinese officials and openly denounced both nations, something Trump failed to do. He also actually pulled out of Afghanistan, which Trump had plenty of opportunity to do, but never bothered with.
More vaccinated states had less deaths during Delta. The worst performers were the likes of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. New York is a very dense state and performed poorly early in the pandemic. Biden also took over in the middle of a surge. Blaming the January deaths of last year on him is a joke. He can't control infections before he takes office, and therefore cannot be responsible for deaths.
He has been president for more of the pandemic than trump was, and has seen less deaths as a result of his hundreds of millions of doses being administered.
Of course you don't want to respond, and I quite frankly don't want you to. Your religious zeal will never match reality, but you'll keep jabbing those pieces until they fit.
Enjoy your 3 times married, adulterous, daughter lusting, greedy, gluttonous, lying, stealing, racist, sexist, fascist dear leader while you can.

@iwanaorange9231
"The government of Rome was called a republican government." - Correct. It's also a good example of a non-democratic form of republican government. Aristocrats, or patricians as they were known, would be rich land owners. They were considered a whole separate class and were banned from marrying below their own class. They would simply decide between themselves who would be their next leaders, which could not be anyone other than another patrician. The people had virtually no say. So comparing the US government to Rome's republic, while in the same comment talking about the people electing leaders is laughable at best, dangerously ignorant at worst.
"The power of government is held by the people." - and specifically not a monarch or aristocracy.
"The people give power to leaders they elect to represent them and serve their interests." - These days they do this through democratic elections. In days gone past the the US was by and large less democratic in nature, but they have improved greatly over the decades.
I'm not saying the US is a perfect democracy, because it certainly isn't. It has issues such as the electoral college, gerrymandering and senators. All of these are ways in which the US moves further away from treating all votes equally. A more democratic government could segment all people from any state into districts that can cross state lines and group people into their respective interest groups. This would be a better way of electing representatives as said representatives would represent their own area more strongly, and would still be a republic. It would also be more democratic. In this specific form of a republic it would be perfectly reasonable for the president to be either elected or appointed as both would be done by vote, either by the fairly elected representatives or by the people. This is how you could make the US more democratic. If you want to make it less democratic, just ask ancient Rome.

@j.j.guerrieri8121
"I am not a “right winger”. I vote for the lesser of two evils."
Oh so you voted Biden over the moron who literally tried to overturn the election multiple times?
"We can start with ending the Keystone pipeline which cost roughly 40,000 jobs"
Wrong on several levels. First the pipeline was the Keystone XL. We already have a Keystone pipeline that goes between the areas the XL would have gone, and it will carry less oil as well. The job losses are estimated at 11,000 not 40,000, none of which are permanent positions. In fact they are temporary until the pipeline is done, after which we only need 50 people to operate it, most of whom are Canada based.
"a step back from energy independence"
How is buying Canadian oil energy independence?
"The company is now filling suit against the state department for $15 billion"
Which they'll lose. The pipeline already broke 2 separate Native American treaties. The idea they can stand it up in court is laughable. They're even overinflating their own job creation stats to make the impact seem worse.
"The southern border is the worst it has ever been"
I'm sure that had nothing to do with the years of people amassing at the border after Trump heavily restricted and closed it. The immigration numbers started to creep up for a half a year before Biden took office, so this isn't anything unexpected. In fact this sort of surge was inevitable after Trump.
"Harris, ignored it and would have continued to ignore it if the former President didn’t announce that he would be visiting"
Wild speculation with no substance.
"Upon Harris visiting Biden declares “we’re moving in the right direction” while tens of thousands of illegal aliens cross over every week."
Who are being caught. The numbers are people who we catch, and that includes people crossing again, which is a leading cause of these crossing numbers being very high.
"The stance on men competing as women is a complete joke and is absolutely shameful"
Weird tangent but okay. You don't like gender specific sports? What's your argument here?
"spending is completely out of control"
They're actually spending according to a mapped out budget to lift the country out of a depression. This would be much easier is Trump hadn't raised the deficit so much while in office. It was at $1T before the pandemic even hit.
"gas and food prices are up"
Gad prices are market dependent and rely entirely on global oil proves. Since people are travelling more oil prices are up, while during the pandemic oil prices went negative. Food price changes are due to worker shortages. Want a guess at where most of the US farm workers come from?
"the value of the dollar is down"
It's been strong for the last 12 years and continues to do well. Where are you getting this nonsense?
"a poisonous and unnecessary shot is being pushed on people"
Oh, which shot is that? Because right now the only shot being pushed is vaccines, which are the exact opposite of what you just described.
"January 6 is being used as a tool to go after political rivals"
Jas 6th WAS a tool to go after political rivals. Investigating it is justice.
"nobody is being held accountable for the burning, looting and destruction of cities across the country last year"
1. That's not true, plenty have been arrested.
2. Comparing Jan 6th to "burning, looting and destruction" is more appropriate than I could ask for.
3. Two wrongs don't make a right. Your argument doesn't matter. Even if it were true it wouldn't change what happened on Jan 6th.
"Our puppet president is a senile, stumbling, babbling fool and foreign leaders are laughing at us."
Well that used to be true. We used to have a Russian puppet that was literally laughed at while speaking at the UN. That's no longer the case.
Honestly, the level of delusion you continue to stoop to with every passing sentence makes me fear for your sanity.

@suzannemartin6817
"I was talking about the PCR tests."
So was I.
"They were not designed to test for cov"
The test they are using is literally designed to test for covid. It's called the 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel. That is EXACTLY what it tests for, and nothing else.
"They were not designed to test for cov and cannot distinguish between flu or cov."
No PCR test on the planet can do this because PCR tests look for 1 thing and 1 thing only. Being able to distinguish would require them to be able to test for 2 things. They test for covid and NOT the flu. This is why the CDC is asking medical facilities to switch to a test that can see both. They are worried about flu increases and don't want to waste lab time by making people use 2 separate tests.
"So they are under a recall."
No, they aren't. If they were being recalled they would, you know, actually recall and replace them, not give people to the end of the year.
"But they drove this entire thing so who knows how many people actually did not have cov but told they did."
False positives on a PCR test are astronomically rare, and they will double test you if they see a positive anyway, making it virtually impossible to happen.
"My niece’s husband was really sick last year. His cov test came back negative but they treated it like a false negative."
They were having issues with false negatives due to the low number of cycles being used. They were having a hard time seeing people who either were just starting to get symptoms or are almost recovered. They changed the test to make it able to view lower viral loads, leading to less false negatives. Comparing false negatives to false positives and trying to use it as proof of what you are claiming is just stupid. Yes, it is possible that your niece's husband had the flu, or some other viral infection. Since the test came back negative they don't end up on the stats anyway. Were they retested for covid?

"Biden was fact checked on his academics, my statement stands."
But you're wrong, so... He has 3 degrees. A double major is the same as having 2 separate degrees when it comes to literally everything to do with having a degree. Get over yourself.
"Its' very weird to talk about children being interested in your body parts, my statement stands."
Not really. You can be all weird about it, but if it happened it happened. What are you, a never-nude or something?
"The women admit he violated their personal space, he is on video sniffing people, something I can't unsee."
I already gave you a direct quote from one of those women, and pressing your head against someone is not the same as sniffing them.
"The racist remarks are pure biden"
Not racist but whatever.
"Joe wanting to take away social security benefits from the disabled."
Literally in the process of trying to expand this, but okay.
"You're doing a better job at reframing Joe's statements than your accusation of me."
Why would I need to accuse you? Your statements are false and I can, and have, shown that. Your inability to understand that is a you problem.
"Explain what a racial jungle is?"
It's a metaphor for a segregated world....hmmm, maybe try a simpler word. Analogy? No, you won't get that either. Oh well, maybe your mother can explain it to you.
"Hmm let's see him fib about his civil rights marching"
So at no point in that video did he claim to march in Selma, as you claimed he did, and instead he talks about being a local Delaware activist that was involved in some sit ins and the desegregation of a movie theatre, which actually matches what the witness who was talking about this said. Amazing.

@jamesphillips4888
Right, except there is a limit, and that limit is when those tax cuts increase the deficit. If your claim that people having more money will pay more taxes is true, then why did tax revenue go down, and stay down? Why did the deficit increase from $585B to $984B before the pandemic even hit? Maybe the numbers hurt your little head too much.
Biden called out and sanctioned Chinese officials, something the previous admin never did.
Biden called out Putin directly rather than licking his boots, again, something the previous admin never did.
The labor force was 163.54 million people in 2019, with a total employment of 157.54 million people.
The labor force was 160.74 million people in 2020, with a total employment of 147.79 million people.
And just so you know: "The workforce or labor force is the labor pool either in employment or in unemployment." I'm aware it is not the entire population, which is why it shrank when millions of people decided to retire early during the pandemic.
Keep up James, you'll get there.

"Who uses the analogy racial jungle? Not a competent analogy even for a younger Biden. He doesn't want his kids living in a racial jungle, how does that even equate to a segregated school system/bussing program.
Let's see, I don't want my kids to grow up in a racial jungle vs. I don't want my kids to grow up in a segregated world."
But they're the same, the only difference is that one puts the idea of segregation in a negative light, which is the point. The fact that you are arguing about this in a speech made encouraging the end of segregation is just baffling.
"In the video he clearly states he was at sit ins and marching, then retracts it. He mentions he wasn't in Selma, why?"
Because he was at sit ins and marches, but wasn't active at a national scale, such as Selma. He was a local civil rights activist.
"Literally trying to expand Social Security"
Thanks, that's what I said. Nice of you to not lie for once.
"but i'm being weird?"
Yes, you are.
"The videos of women being uncomfortable have been seen, he had to address his behavior!"
Except, again, they have come out and stated it was out of context and that it was not at all creepy, he wasn't smelling anyone, and was offering support.
"The woman you've quoted just wanted to whole thing to go away so she can stop being in a biden meme"
Stop inventing a narrative.
"Mentored by the KKK grand wizard, couldn't find anyone else in the world to be a mentor, stunning."
Not a grand wizard, he started a small chapter in the 40s.
He called joining the KKK his greatest mistake ever.
He was only in for about 2 years.
By the time Biden worked for him he had been out of the klan for over a decade.
Now don't get me wrong, Byrd is a perfect example of an old-school Democrat that would never survive today.
"Says stupid racially insensitive stuff"
Nope.
"talks with phony Indian accent talking about dunkin donuts"
No accept but nice try.
"which has nothing to do with ignoring immigrants in the work force"
Yes it does.
"Joe admitting he lied about his academics"
Except he didn't. You can argue about double-major vs having 2 degrees if you want, but for all intents and purposes, he can get a job in either of those majors. He has 3 degrees.
"The cool aid you drank is so powerful"
Sure sure. Go back to OAN. You wouldn't know context if it smacked you in the face. Imagine thinking the guy that picketed segregated movie theaters is the racist. Imagine arguing that a social security expansion is really a reduction. Imagine arguing directly against multiple eye witness testimonies. You're an embarrassment.
"You haven't shown anything to be false, you merely reframe his own quotes and ignore the video evidence."
Almost like context can make unacceptable things acceptable, and vice versa. I mean seriously, you tried arguing Biden was a racist because of his comments DURING A SPEECH ABOUT ENDING SEGRAGATION!... I mean, how far removed do you have to be from reality to think that?
Go back to buying feet pics and leave the adults alone.

"funny I thought that the 1964 and 65 civil rights act was about the right for every Americans to vote in elections but you says its because the dems lost the southern states"
No, I'm saying that a civil rights bill that passed when Dems had a 70% majority in the Senate caused them to lose popularity in more racist states, which then allowed Republicans to shift to the right using more racist rhetoric, allowing them to snatch southern votes. Ever wonder why the party that you claim is totally not the racist one is also the one voted in by the people that LOST the civil war?
"arguing that dems are the party of unity, tolerance science and equality is far from the truth you are the party of division equity socialist, hypocrisy and corruption"
Sure sure. The funny part is when you put equity on the bad side. The rest is the mindless ramblings of an indoctrinated puppet.
"your party will always be the party of the KKK ,CRT, BLM, ANTIFA, Jim Crow laws, slavery and now socialism"
The KKK is currently most active in states that vote Republican, and their leaders actively support Republican candidates.
Critical race theory is literally just looking at history through a critical lens and seeing how it effects even modern society.
Black lives matter is dealing with modern day racism in America. Hate to break it to you, but they wouldn't exist if it wasn't such a huge issue here.
Anti fascists aren't even an organization, they're just people who hate fascism. As a movement that started before WWII, and was very active during WWII, it's weird you would put the people actively trying to stop fascism as the bad guys here.
Jim Crow laws are yet another example of southern Democrats before the changes.
Slavery is still a thing in the US, you should probably get to work on amending the 13th.
Socialism....seriously? Do you even know what that means. Who has even started to push for this?
"you voted for a racist who swims in the water with KKK members and segregationist"
Again, anti-segregation speech. It's like talking to a bot.
"joe was a civil rights activist"
Correct. You got it in 1.
"“I came out of the civil rights movement. I was one of those guys who sat-in and marched and all that stuff,” Biden said at the time.
But he later disavowed the claim, clarifying his involvement after leaving the race and stating that he was “not an activist.”
“I was not down marching. I was not down in Selma. I was not anywhere else. I was a suburbanite kid who got a dose of exposure to what was happening to black Americans in my own city,” he said."
Right, as I said, he was a LOCAL civil rights activist. He wasn't in Selma, he was local. Again, this is not difficult.
"Biden reprised the claim during the last presidential election, however, and said that he had also been arrested, including once while visiting with Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
“This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid. I had the great honor of meeting him. I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on Robben Island,” Biden told voters at a South Carolina campaign event in 2020.
When asked about it during an interview with CNN, Biden conceded that he was not arrested, saying, “I wasn’t arrested, I was stopped. I was not able to move where I wanted to go.” - washington examiner"
And? This really isn't even that far off. He was detained by South African police for travelling with people of a different race on his way to visit Mandela, which he then did.
"But he later disavowed the claim, clarifying his involvement after leaving the race and stating that he was “NOT AN ACTIVIST."
Again, multiple people confirmed he was there doing sit ins and picketing. He didn't go to Selma, but he was doing local activism. If you check the actual quote it was in reference to national activism. I know nuance isn't your strong suit, but do try.

"wait there are people still alive that fought in the civil war"
People still fly the confederate flag and yell about how the confederates were the good guys.
"and they are all voting for republican how many votes is that exactly"
Quite a few, you should come down here in Florida and see.
"I thought all the dead people voted for Joe"
Name 1.
"you can go on and on about the republicans but it will never change the fact that Joe supported a man that was in the KKK"
More than a decade before they even met. Meanwhile Republicans are currently being endorsed by the KKK.
"what exactly is wrong with asking for an ID to vote if you need a vaccine passport to work, go to a restaurant ,buy liquor or go on a plane?"
Because people already showed ID when they registered to vote. When you vote your signature is matched to the signature on your ID, meaning we don't need some additional form of confirmation as we already have it. You also don't need a vaccine passport for most states, and even if you did, they are to protect people from a lethal virus. Voter ID laws are designed to suppress votes. Why not give everyone who wants to vote the good old literacy test to really mess with them. All it does is adds another barrier to voting.
"voting by mail is subjected to fraud and ballet harvesting"
Doubt. Seriously, show me the evidence. Mail in votes are signed, the signatures are matched to IDs on file. You can't fake them like that.
"just look what he did in Afghanistan 13 service members died because of his failure"
Welcome to war. Are we also blaming all the previous presidents for Afghanistan military deaths when they failed to withdraw?
"who the hell evacuates the military before civilians"
They didn't. Civilians had been leaving for months, and they sent more troops in to get the last civilians out. The real fight is over Afghan allies in the region, many of whom specific US states refuse to take in.
"who the hell leaves 83 billion dollars of military equipment to the enemy"
It was left to our allies, and most of it won't work in less than a year. The hummers will all have their suspension broken by now for starters. Also, leaving equipment behind is par for the course. We disabled anything that nobody was using, and gave the rest to the Afghan army, a group that had been built up for 20 years. Blaming Biden for Afghan politics and the failure to understand that an Afghan army was literally never going to happen is a joke. Why not blame Trump for letting the Taliban leader out of prison, along with a few thousand of their fighters, while also negotiating a terrible deal?
"thats treason at the highest level face it you voted for a anti American traitor"
Last guy tried to overturn the election so.......
"history will remember and so will true Americans"
Ah, my favorite distinction between patriotism and nationalism. You're a nationalist on this comment alone.

"plus all the wasteful spending. We have never needed 3 trillion dollars for infrastructure ever. 500 billion is more like it"
Not even close. In fact the US infrastructure is in terrible shape. We're behind on rail, broadband and public transit, are dealing with a higher number of bridges than ever in a state of disrepair, and even massive drinking water and energy issues. Some areas flood regularly, while schools are being left to get by on crumbs in crumbling buildings.
43% of our public roadways in poor or mediocre condition.
An estimated 6 billion gallons of treated water lost each day due to mains breaks.
42% of all bridges are at least 50 years old, and 46,154, or 7.5% of the nation’s bridges, are considered structurally deficient
The Association of State Dam Safety Officials estimates the number of deficient high-hazard-potential dams now exceeds 2,300.
$3 trillion over 10 years is actually pretty much exactly what they need to fix these issues.
"America is about freedom enterprises not government control and a free market which creates competition."
How can you say this with a straight face? Free markets always inevitably result in zero competition. Government is the only thing that stops monopolies, which they have failed to do lately with companies like AT&T, Comcast and more.
"We should not have to settle for the crap that our government offers us. Health insurance for example should not be government controlled'
It isn't. That being said, countries that DO have government healthcare get it both cheaper and with more coverage. Meanwhile, private health insurance increases in price every year and has ever climbing deductibles, while medical bankruptcies are the leading cause of bankruptcy in America. Healthcare is a right and a service, and cutting off that right just breeds a bunch of profit chasing accountants deciding when to not cover lifechanging drugs and refusing to pay out for people on life support. They are bloodsucking vampires preying on the sick and elderly to feed their money addiction. It's a cruel joke, and the US needs to move into the 20th century already.

"I bet the Guatemalans think she’s their savior huh? So what’s Kamala’s plan to erase poverty in Central and South America so that it’ll curb our illegal immigration? I haven’t heard anything"
Not erase, but reduce enough that they stay where they are, and the policy is the same as every plan for a country we have no real footing in, send them money. Congrats, you just discovered US foreign policy. Unfreezing aid to those countries is a good start since Trump stopped the humanitarian funds being sent there.
"Solving poverty in central and South America should not be Kamala Harris‘s problem. It should be a problem for the central and south Americans. Her job right now is to solve our border crisis."
That does solve the border crisis you cretin.
"Kamala Harris should actually be at our own border overseeing the completion of the wall, a beefed up border patrol and policies and equipment in place to aid them in their job."
Which does nothing to stop people legally seeking asylum.
"Biden caused much of this problem himself when he stated his administration wouldn’t deport anyone for the first hundred days"
Again, that's called seeking asylum. This concept seems to really go over your head doesn't it.
"also his recent attempt at giving Millions of taxpayer dollars to illegals who were separated at the border."
Which they won in court proceedings. He's not giving them anything, they are legally obligated to it, thanks to Trump administration policies.
"And words mean things. If somebody wants to seek asylum on our southern border they can stop and check in at one of our many checkpoints across our southern borders and request asylum."
Asylum seekers have always been allowed to cross the border.
"Yet if they actually cross our border and do not attempt to check in or seek out border patrol immediately they are illegal. Say the word with me… ILLEGAL."
By definition they are not.
Look, I'm sorry your understanding of immigration seems to boil down to "lets just build a massive wall and shoot people trying to come here" but at the end of the day:
1. Asylum seekers are a net positive for the economy.
2. Asylum seekers have always been legal.
3. Humanitarian aid to improve the impoverished regions in Central and South America is not only a good way to curb the number of asylum seekers coming to America, it's also our duty as a country after the years of unrest we created in the entire continent.

@poopdeckpappy2658
"look. I’m sorry you lack reading comprehension skills but I don’t recall saying that we should shoot illegals."
I'm being facetious while presenting your actual feelings.
"The purpose of our federal government in our constitutional republic is to keep us free from force and fraud so we can pursue that happiness the founders mentioned. That means we don’t just allow people we don’t know to walk in."
That's not what that means. We've allowed people to walk in for generations.
"It is not Kamala’s job to solve the poverty issue south of our border."
Solve, no, but certainly improve. Hitting the root cause of the problem is far more effective in the long run. There is also the general duty of the US to help undo the harm they did to the region.
"To wit she has made one short visit to the border and come up absolutely nothing to solve the crisis as far as I can tell."
As far as you can tell indeed.
"A crisis exacerbated with his I’ll thought out declarations."
Not really. Worldwide economic unrest, job losses and supply issues, combined with severe weather events in Central America, has driven more and more migrants here.
"Our southern border is long and it will always be impossible to keep everybody out. But we can go a long way to solve a problem if we put up walls and give the border patrol the tools they need to do their jobs."
But they are doing their job. An ineffective wall that has already rusted through in places, and has been easily scaled with ropes and ladders, does nothing to prevent entry. We've stopped more people than ever at the border without the wall. They are perfectly well equipped with modern technology.
"According to US customs and border patrol there have been 10,763 arrested criminal noncitizens in 2021. Which means they were arrested for a crime here in the US and a criminal history check revealed prior criminal convictions either here or in other countries. That includes 60 who have homicides on their record and nearly 500 for sexual offenses."
That's really not that many.
"My conclusion based on the Left’s chaotic border policies is that they actually want this. They want our country flooded with illegal immigrants because they know at some point many of them will become US citizens either through amnesty or other means."
You mean they want to follow the historic strategy of allowing workers into the country who put more into the system than they take out? No, really?
"In the meantime the Democrats can get the illegals hooked on government bennies and when they do eventually become citizens, they’ll be voting for that bloated, debt ridden bureaucracy you yourself are so fond of."
Again, they put more in than they take out, so calling them hooked on government anything is a joke. Meanwhile Republicans are the ones bloating the deficit whenever they take office, but keep believing the lie of a fiscally conservative GOP.
"Giving illegals who came here while intentionally breaking our laws taxpayer money is completely insane. Do you give the burglar who walks into your home money?"
Again, applying for asylum makes them not illegal. It's more like feeding a clothing a starving homeless person rather than kicking them out on the street. I know a Republican like you doesn't see an issue with that, which is why we differ.
"Look at what the Biden administration told Cuban refugees last July who wanted to flee here by boat and apply for asylum because of the events in that Marxist country. “Stay home, you will not be given asylum.“"
They said the same thing to southern border migrants though. He literally told them not to come. Cuban migrants get the exact same treatment as southern border migrants. The fact that YOU are making such a distinction is really sad, and a blatant showing of your own bias, which you are trying to project onto others.
"Yes…it is ILLEGAL alien. Like I stated earlier, words mean things. You can try and use words like “undocumented immigrants” but it’s like putting lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig."
But it's literally not illegal. Seeking asylum is legal.
"United States Code, Title 8, §1365(b)"
Way to selectively edit out the part of that code that proves you 100% wrong:
"An illegal alien referred to in subsection (a) is any alien who is any alien convicted of a felony who is in the United States unlawfully"
You have to be convicted of a felony to use the part of the statute that you are quoting. Seeking asylum is not illegal, and therefore asylum seekers are not illegal.
"The Taliban violated the Doha agreement and later took the country by force."
Which they did after we had already withdrawn the vast majority of our forces. They also didn't take over by force, as they make many lawful peace agreements to do this. Not a shot was fired. You're wrong twice in 1 comment, good job.
Again, the vehicles are useless. They would cost more time and money to retrieve and maintain than they would to just leave, so we left them. They will not stand up to the punishing environment they are in, and will be inoperable in no time. Nothing they captured is of any use, and much of it was disabled.
Also, not sure why you put "machine guns" in quotes. I was using your own terminology from a prior comment. Maybe you forgot.
Do your research pleb. You know nothing about immigration, and less about Afghanistan. It's actually frightening how much you think of yourself with such tiny brained ideas floating around in that big empty skull.

"No, hes saying that existing laws are insufficiently enforced."
Why did he even get that far though? If he had a drug habit shouldn't they have been able to figure that out before handing him a firearm?
"So, wanton violation of Due Process, then?"
If he was using the gun before buying drugs due process would be to not let him have a gun.
"Heres a little integrity test; every restriction you want to apply to 2nd Amendment Rights, first apply to other Rights you enjoy. For example: psychological evaluations and lengthy waiting periods for voting, internet posting, abortion, legal representation, etc."
Never seen anyone get killed from voting. It's almost like we introduce greater restrictions on things that are more dangerous. For example, misdemeanors don't stop you from voting, but domestic violence misdemeanors stop you from buying a firearm. Comparing voting, speech, abortion and legal representation to obtaining a weapon designed to kill people is a bit of a joke.

@MidnightMark12
Actually unemployment is based on unemployment benefits claims, which are substantially down. Retirees leaving the workforce doesn't change unemployment, but that has happened a lot. As such we are seeing a smaller workforce that has to fight for workers, which they do with higher wages. Which leads me to point 2.
Inflation is not near the wage increases we have seen. Even if it were, then that just proves that inflation means nothing, as wages increased too, making the price increased null and void.
Nope. Airlines, hotels, casinos, movie theaters, tour operators, concerts, taxis, real estate, oh and weed. All of these are up 30% minimum.
The debt ceiling is artificial and enforced by petty Republicans that just spent trillions, but are now making a show of not spending a cent more. Debt always increased with Republicans because they can't keep a budget straight.
Suicides are indeed up, but this is nothing new and has been increasing for 20 years straight.
The shipping backlog came from more people ordering goods, which was a result of the pandemic. Our shipping has never slowed.
Afghanistan? Where they removed those servicemen and women, as well as the citizens, from a dangerous region. The best part was when Republicans started saying they wouldn't take a single refugee in their state, even though the refugees were US allies saved from the region.
Poverty is down. Your claims to otherwise are for naught.
Infrastructure does effect humans, and roads and bridges lower the annual costs to those people in fuel, car repairs and more. The hidden cost of our crumbling infrastructure is something you need to look into.
As a fellow Floridian, I feel safe in calling you a blind moron. During delta hospitals here were at breaking point, with many over capacity, and many being turned away for one reason or another. I had to be seen in the emergency waiting room because there were no beds or rooms to take people back and look at them. We had the worse delta numbers in the country, and deaths spiked like crazy. Thanks Deathsantis.
The IRS has avoided going after larger income taxpayers for years due to a lack of staffing. There is millions to be gained there. What's worse is it sounds like you're a tax dodger too.
I know exactly what's going on at ground level, and it's an absolute travesty. This will blow over eventually, but Florida is not the leading cause of this ending, not by a long stretch.
Who cares if she has a place in Florida? Why do you even care about her vacation home? As for her galas, because she's an idiot who puts her own image above people's mortal wellbeing. At least they're vaxed though so that's something.

@midwestmusic1909
"Unemployment rates during trump admin fell to 3.5 (lowest since 1969) while Obama's dropped from 6.2%- 4.9%."
Obama inherited a financial crash, and immediately started to turn it around, with unemployment starting at 7.8% when he took office, and increasing to 10% due to the disastrous trend the unemployment was going. You are referencing the unemployment when Obama was elected, not when he took office. Obama reversed the rate at which the unemployment rate was increasing. Trump's unemployment rate was a continuation of Obama's in almost every way. You also conveniently left out the massive unemployment under Trump due to his poor handling of the coronavirus response. In the end Obama managed strong and stable growth, with jobs being added every year and the financial sector becoming more stable than ever. Obama created over 11.5 million jobs, Trump lost 3 million.
"Under trump the stock market index rose by 12.2% vs 7.5% under obama."
Not only did Obama inherit a recession, the stock market is also not a good indicator of the economy as a whole, but more a sign that the rich are getting richer. This is also not true when you include Trump's failed last year. Your numbers are yet again wrong. Obama's S&P 500 growth was 13.84%.
"Lastly, annual GDP growth under trump averaged 2.0% vs obama at 1.4%.
"
Again, global recession and Trump crashed the economy. What was the GDP growth in 2020? Trump averages 0.95% growth, while Obama actually hit 1.62%.
Funny that was your last point and not the deficit, which Trump immediately started to increase when taking office, which is the main reason for his apparent successes. You can make any of these numbers look great by pumping billions into them, which is exactly what Trump did. Obama got the deficit down to under $500 billion. Trump took office and the deficit is almost a trillion and growing, hitting 4 trillion when he failed the economy and the people.

@Abraham Rodriguez
"That's like me saying to you. Show me your evidence Biden won."
They counted and recounted votes in multiple states and held up the counted votes against multiple claims of voter fraud in court. You on the other hand are making a positive claim of voter fraud, which needs some sort of evidence to back them up. Let me know when you find that.
"But common sense tells me that guy you watch speaking which has no Charisma, was never popular, that's why he always lost when he ran in the past."
Biden did well with college educated white voters, a demographic that tends to be more split in previous years. In truth this group were probably voting against Trump rather than for Biden, but that's what caused the massive swing. There was also record voter turnout for under 30s, another Democratic strong voter group. Finally, there was a general swing in some areas that Trump had categorically failed with his policies, Pennsylvania being one. There was also of course the mismanagement of the global pandemic.
"People talk about how much influence Trump had on people and followers and even got more votes from African Americans and Latinos than his prior election"
Correct. Biden performed poorly overall with those groups but was able to influence, again, college educated white voters. Under 30s also voted more than ever.
"but some how he lost to Biden who never even left his basement"
Probably something to do with the global pandemic. I mean honestly, if you were worried about a pandemic that could potentially kill millions worldwide, do you vote for the guy hosting super spreader events?
"receive the most votes ever."
Yep. Say it again for the people in the back.
"Really think about it...he got the most votes ever for a president....Yes that guy you just watched"
Yep. He did. Cool right.

@Abraham Rodriguez
"Yeah the results provided by who?"
Individual states the votes were counted in. Georgia for example has a Republican governor but called the race for Democrats, even with Trump calling him to try and "find" votes.
"Whats being taught now is white supremacy, microaggressions, unconscious bias, gender which is all divisiveness in itself."
Lol, no it's not. The vast majority of schools don't teach this, and many are even pushing laws to require some pretty shitting things to be taught. There's a reason Texas has their own textbooks.
"If you can't vote due to a disability or out of the state or country you should be able to vote by mail."
Great, glad we agree, voting by mail is perfectly safe and legal.
"It's not like you have to vote every day so don't see the difficulty."
You also live in a predominantly well supported neighbourhood with a high number of voting locations. After all take a look:
https://www.npr.org/2020/10/17/924527679/why-do-nonwhite-georgia-voters-have-to-wait-in-line-for-hours-too-few-polling-pl
Georgia has specifically targeted black neighbourhoods by reducing polling locations and causing lines to drag on for hours and hours. They even made this trend worse in 2020 by removing polling locations. If you are too simple to understand how this is voter disenfranchisement then there is no hope for you. Even worse, imaging waiting in like for 6 hours, only to realise you don't have your ID. You can't go home to grab it because the polling location has technically closed and they are only allowing people in line to vote. So now what? you can't vote because of a shitty exploitive system.
"Haven't read in detail about not supplying water but if what you say it's true then I would say if it applies to everyone then don't see an issue with it since regardless of color they can't provide water."
Unless of course you are forced to wait in line longer because of where you live, which just so happens to mainly be people of a certain race.

@vantagepoint9270 Lotta stupid in 1 comment there champ. Lets break it down for you:
"creates record inflation"
Inflation isn't instant, as is usually a knock on effect of the previous year of the economy. Massive government debt increases to keep the economy afloat during huge Trump unemployment rates will do that.
"record gas prices"
Not even close. They were higher in 2014 and the 3 years before that. Even then, what do you expect when a bunch of frackers went out of business when the price went negative? They need high prices to survive, and production has yet to recover.
"abandoned Americans in Afghanistan"
The timeline set by the previous admin was just too short. Trump also authorised the release of the now Taliban leader, and thousands of their fighters. Withdrawal would just take far longer than it did. That being said, almost all the Americans there left without any real issue.
"supported segregation"
Literally the opposite. Biden was so anti-segregation that he thought bussing didn't go nearly far enough, and argued that we needed to do more to integrate communities, a problem that still exists to this day.
"vilifies those who criticize him"
When the questions are dumb you get called out. Not rocket science. Your misinformation is proof of that happening.
"cowers when questioned"
Lol
"shows severe cognitive decline"
You just watched a 30 minute speech. Oh wait, you didn't, you went into the comments to be salty.
"has caused more Covid deaths than under Trump"
He took office just as Delta was spiking. Deaths from covid take around a month from initial infection. The new policies put in place reduced infections, but overall the majority of covid preventative measures are state controlled anyway. The difference is the planning and the rhetoric. Biden got hundreds of millions of vaccine doses out the door.
Americans really don't mind Biden. He's more popular than Trump was at this time, and has only been in a year. He's getting a lot more done as well. After all, can you name a single Trump policy that actually did anything useful?

No, they didn't. According to the Australian government's NPS Medicinewise website:
"Currently there are limited data to support the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. There are currently no known published data from randomised, controlled clinical trials on the efficacy or safety of ivermectin for treatment of COVID-19."
"Some evidence of a positive benefit has been described by small observational studies. However, heterogeneity among the trial designs and methodologies limits any conclusions about the utility of this medicine to date."
"A pre-print study was recently deleted from the pre-print server after there were concerns about the data used by the authors of the study. The study derived data from the Surgisphere database, an analytics company who claimed to have assembled large and detailed databases that included real-time medical records from many hospitals around the world. The authors claimed that this data showed that ivermectin use in patients with COVID-19 was accompanied by a reduction in mortality.
Several other articles on treatments for COVID-19 published in the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet were also retracted, after co-authors of the studies could not verify the validity of COVID-19 patient data extracted from Surgisphere. Investigations by The Scientist and the Guardian identified discrepancies in Surgisphere’s claims going back years. The company website has now been taken offline."
"The Australian guidelines for the clinical care of people with COVID-19 are maintained by the National COVID-19 Clinical Evidence Task Force.
They do not currently have any recommendations on the use of ivermectin for treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) are currently investigating ‘promotion’ of an ivermectin-based regimen for COVID-19, by gastroenterologist Professor Thomas Borody. Professor Borody, who developed triple-therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection, has recommended that GPs prescribe a triple therapy protocol using ivermectin, doxycycline and zinc. However, some of his comments are being investigated by the TGA as they potentially breach the ban on advertising COVID-19 treatments."
"The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has stated there is insufficient evidence to support ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19."
You sure have some reputable friends don't you.
