The Price Of An Incompetent Fed Chair

The Vietnam war was initiated by Democrats and was the failure of the Democrats and you blame Repubs for that.

The inflation was caused by gov't spending, and you blame Republicans for that.

Crime has gone up under the Democrats because Democrat city councils all over the nation cut the police force and removed funding from it causing murders to skyrocket everywhere, and you blame the rise in Murders and crime in general on Repubs.  

The gas situation was under control when Donald Trump left office and you blame Repubs for the cost of gasoline.

Fentanyl deaths have gone up in this nation astronomically under Biden and your Democrats and you blame Repubs for that.

The Border Crisis is at the highest level it has ever been at with the most illegals crossing ever recorded because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won't close it and won't do their jobs, and you blame Repubs for that.  

You're a walking, talking contradiction and lying SOB all the time and your gall is never ending.  
The one who's lying here is YOU. And you can apply the rest of your descriptors to yourself, as well. The rest of your post is as screwed up as yourself...

The Price Of An Incompetent Fed Chair

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Allianz’s chief economic adviser, said on Sunday that the U.S. is heading toward a recession that was “totally avoidable” amid ongoing concerns about inflation and economic stability." "...arguing that the Federal Reserve has made mistakes that will “go down in the history books.”
“One is mischaracterizing inflation as transitory. By that, they meant it is temporary, it’s reversible, don’t worry about it. That was mistake number one. And then mistake number two, when they finally recognized that inflation was persistent and high. They didn’t act. They didn’t act in a meaningful way,”
“Even [Federal Reserve] Chair Powell has gone from looking for a soft landing to soft-ish landing to now talking about pain. And that is the problem. That is the cost of a Federal Reserve being late. Not only does it have to overcome inflation, but it has to restore its credibility,”

Other than that, you're simply the message boy for the Dem Party.

Trump Falsely Claims George HW Bush Took Documents To A Bowling Alley/Chinese Restaurant

The Washington Post reported in 1993: “There aren’t any lanes anymore. No gutters, no pins, no beer. Thanks to a rush remodeling job after last November’s election, there are a few simple offices, a massive, fire-resistant vault and row after row of steel shelves filled with cardboard boxes and wooden crates.”

There was also extensive security. The Associated Press reported in 1994: “Uniformed guards patrol the premises. There are closed-circuit television monitors and sophisticated electronic detectors along walls and doors. Some printed material is classified and will remain so for years; it is open only to those with top-secret clearances.”

I'm sure trump's storage closet had the exact same precautions, right?

I will be so glad when this man is finally gone, but the damage is done. His bad behavior, and the fact no one in the GOP (except for a few) have called him out on ANY of it, has wrecked this country's politics. I hope Jim Brown is wrong and that fair and decent democracy is on the ballot along with the abortion issue. The independents, and to a lesser extent younger voters are up for grabs. We'll see if the youngsters turn out, seems like they got what they wanted so they could stay home. Hope I'm wrong. 

BTW - if the Democrats lose can it be because of a rigged election? I hear lots of GOP candidates still complaining about the voting system. Is it only rigged when the GOP loses?
Watched a news clip from a British documentary on MSNBC wherein Trump supporters vowed to take up arms if Republicans lose in the midterms...

I have a real point here about the sad state of political reporting.  
Well, I didn't get or give a number now did I? But you're obviously correct, I should have been more specific. The two that were interviewed, a female and a male, were two old white folks who absolutely believe anything Trump tell 'em. Unfortunately, I think they represent many, many others in their "thinking"....

Do you remember the original powers of 10 slide movie from the 1970's?  It was totally cool at the time and has been updated now and then.  Here is a sweet new version, with I believe Morgan Freeman narrating.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44cv416bKP4

Anyway, here is another powers of ten analysis, for your consideration and enjoyment:

74,000,000 Trump voters in 2020,
7,400,000 Trump voters who have serious concerns about alleged, but readily debunked, widespread election fraud,
740,000 Trump voters who are absolutely convinced the election fraud was so bad that Trump actually won in 2022,
74,000 Trump voters who say they support armed insurrection to take back the country from the damn liberal establishment who stole the election,
7,400 Trump voters who will say that they are willing to carry a gun in the "armed insurrection,"
740  Trump voters who actually would carry a gun in the "armed insurrection,"
7.4  Trump voters who would actually shoot at the National Guard, Army, and State or Federal Police forces in the armed "insurrection," 
.0  Trump voters who actually have shot anyone in an armed insurrection.

Jim
And of those who either SAY or would support or would carry a gun in an armed insurrection, would you trust any of 'em with your personal safety or that of your family?

When I heard that on the news, I said good riddance! Given her nutcase conspiracy-based statements, she's obviously found a home with the GOP!...

Virtually everyone was calling out her idiocy for her Ukrainian bio-lab crap. But it did play well in Russia during her interview with Tucker...
