OK then. Biden 2020.

You know the one. Why act so silly? If it was painting Biden in a bad light you would already be complaining. It’s funny you choose when to bury your head in the sand.

I just wanted you to clarify and make sure that you weren't referring to Reagan or Trump's. Since you didn't clarify, I'll assume that you're referring to the recent January one. When I listened to economists discuss it on NRP the other day, it was mentioned that there was "a lot of noise" in the report, and it likely didn't reflect reality. Interestingly enough this article here also asserts that the numbers are exggerated:

I didn't write the article, and I didn't say it on NPR. Just reporting what I heard about it from multiple sources, since you specifically asked me. Did the additional context somehow humor you?

Biden gaffes: The president bats .500 in January, a slip up every other day

President Biden averaged just under a half a gaffe per workday in January as he dodged questions from the press on his possession of classified documents.

Honestly I don't laugh at his gaffes, I just shake my head in embarrassment. I remember doing that for four years under Trump too.

Biden will surely announce soon that he isn't planning to run in 2024 anyway. I mean the DNC won't run a primary against Biden, but they just went through a lot of trouble to do this, which means that they are obviously indeed planning a primary (sans Biden).

I laughed at the stupid shit Trump said all the time. I was like "just shut the fuck up already" and he would just keep going, . I don't want either of them,

I'd take a gaffe over a lie any day of the week and tRump was batting 5.000 his whole single term and since.

Biden handled this ballon incident exactly how it should have been handled. He took advice from the experts and let the military drop it where there was near zero chance of harm to citizens or infrastructure. If he'd ordered it shot down over a red state and it killed some farmer's cow in a field the magats would have freaked out.

47 ft of water is what the debris landed in so I'd call that a Bull's Eye!

He handled it just like I figured he would. Just like he handled Afghanistan.

A Bullseye would have landed on the other side of the country. Somewhere like the Pacific Ocean or parts of Alaska and not let it complete its flight over our country.

LOL, of course there are more people working more jobs. With inflation over the past year many people can't pay their bills from just one job alone; they have to work two or three. This isn't a "win".

How would the republicans make it better? Cut taxes for the super rich and services to you seems their solution to all problems. They work for the rich and suck morons in with culture wars, then screw them and everybody else, feed them some red meat with dumb ass laws and make them feel special by picking on minorities.

You claim to be involved in unions. Do republicans support unions at all? And if so, any examples of legislation they have passed to help union members?

Some republicans do, it depends on the individual. I'm not aware of any of the examples which you are asking for, nor do I understand the relevance of your question. I'm not aware of any union which has minimum wage set as its prevailing rate for workers.

Personally I do support minimum wage, but I think that it's far too low. My 15-year old daughter makes minimum wage. There ain't no way that someone can support a family working minimum wage without two or three jobs. The minimum wage in Democratic controlled California is $15.50/hr. That's around $2100 a month take home working a full time job. Around here you can't even rent a studio for under $1500 a month. I guess that's why we have food stamps.

You have made claims in the past of being involved with unions. And I’m wondering what republican has been supportive of unions that you know. And you said none. At least we agree. I’m wondering how you support a party that doesn’t support your earning of income? And why bash the one party that does support unions? If you’re as involved as you have claimed in the past.
