There was not much media but it always led the 3 networks. Every day.
Well, not even Nixon would have pulled the shit Trump does...

One has nothing to do with the other. The DOJ will still be there even if the Jan 6 committee members are not. The DOJ is entirely independent of congress and makes its own decision on whether or not to prosecute.

How Much Biden's 1.9 Trillion American Plan Added To Inflation...

"My main basis for saying this is that other wealthy countries, without remotely comparable stimulus packages, have seen comparable jumps in their inflation rates,"

Well what is it?? 

Your first link from Mark Zandi idiotically claimed that amount of inflation caused by Biden's $1.9 Trillion spending only added O.1% inflation to the nation.

So then your next link, Dean Baker says that the $1.9 Trillion in spending that Biden did cause 1/2 of the inflation number, or for the math illiterate like yourself, means that Biden's spending caused 4.3% inflation.

So what is it? 

Did Biden's spending cause a 0.1%  inflation, or did it cause 4.3% inflation to the nation.

You have 2 completely contradictory links.  

One of your guys, Mark Zandi said Biden caused inflation of 0.1%. 

Your other guy, Dean Baker said Biden caused inflation of 4.3%

Go ahead and tell us the answer.  Which is it Einstein?  
I think Zandi's assessment is more accurate because it's based upon more recent data. And Baker's point is still correct in that other countries have comparable levels of inflation without a comparable plan.

Let me ask again, since you can't seem to discern that 0.1% inflation is a far cry from 4.3% inflation.

You can't have it both ways.  I'll state this fact again, your links are utterly incompatible from fact.

One guy says that Biden's spending caused only 0.1% inflation and you put that forth as fact.

Then your other guy said that Biden's spending caused about 4.3% inflation, and you put his article forth as fact.

Which is an indicator to most people with a functioning cerebral cortex that what they are putting forth is conjecture and guessing games.

The fact is that you want to distort with horseshit and guessing games the simple point that under Joe Biden and the Democrats, inflation is not transitory, nor is it someone else's fault.  

It is the fault of the administration and the party in charge of everything.

And inflation is at a 41 year high in this country with no signs that it is ceasing.

Also, the moron that you voted into office gets out in front of the world in all his psychotic lunacy and says that the country is doing great economically, when our previous quarter showed negative growth.

Now we all realize that morons on the left believe his bullshit, because they don't have functioning cerebral cortexes like the rest of the sane world has. 

I'm sure you believe anything that his supporters tell you to believe.  
I didn't decide what Baker's point is, I quoted him. And coming from the con-clown who believes in the big lie that the election was stolen and that the movie, "2000 mules" is legit, it's quite obvious who the moron is...

"Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, estimated this past week that the rescue package added 0.1 percentage points to year-over-year inflation, well behind shocks caused by the war in Ukraine, the pandemic and the affordable housing crisis."

Alan Dershowitz on the Jan 6. witch trial going on.

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Fox finally covered it today and their GOP consultant lawyer said, Trump is unfit to serve and may be guilty:
"He added that there is “no defending what President Trump did” on Jan. 6, 2021."
"He states that the committee has successfully shown that Trump is “unfit for office” and that “it may even be showing that he obstructed Congress or … conspired to defraud the United States.”
