Biden has a 'big lead' on Trump in Polls

[JTQ]

huh...?



Just got that screenshot from the BLS' website 5 minutes ago.

You can tie each upswing in unemployment with a particular disaster.

The first, September 11, 2001.

The second, Democrats take control of the House and Senate in 2007.

The third, Corona Virus.

If that's the measurement of competent, the all time low Trump unemployment numbers produced in his first few years make him ultra-competent (?).

I think that's the point

You can also tie a change in Executive management with each downturn.
1979: Carter
1991: Bush I
2008: Republicans
2020: The Magic Eightball says...?

You know, when I think of some major event that happened in 2007, somehow "democrats" isn't the first thing that pops to mind...

But I understand it wouldn't fit the pattern:

The first, republicans in charge so it's the disaster's fault

The second, biggest global financial diaster since the Great Depression, so it's the democrats fault

The third, republicans in charge so it's the diaster's fault.

I have to say, that's some next level cognitive dissonance.

I make an equivalence between recent Democrat and Republican administrations and Disaster...cuts out any ambiguity.

There is a correlation there. You know who's never had a market downturn under their watch? The Whigs.

i am not saying that the this guy is incorrect. However....

I have never seen any positive article in NYT about Trump. I actually have not seen any single positive article about any Republican in NYT for the last 10 years. Maybe ever. I glanced through it every day. The editorial board of NYT could make a career in Pravda. I actually disregard pretty much everything from NYT these days. It's actually sad. I used to subscribe for it as well as for New Yorker

Oh, some media have biases. I didn't know that. Why even Fox News can have biases as said by DJT: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...talking-points

It's not that as much as posting anything from the NYT that supports the liberal agenda is kind of dog bites man. No one gives a fuck. Likewise, posting something from infowars (which admittedly has more journalistic credibility than the NYT right now) that supports conspiracy is not a way to distinguish yourself as an independent thinker.
