Odds of Biden stepping down, being replaced. Choose.

Guess I’ll repost it here too:

more like the gif below.... I put an excessive scroll requirement because of possible NSWF situations.


But really who would break the sacred protocol of the employer / employee relationship in such a way... my word well I never....

When most people talk unemployment, they talk about unemployment rate, which was 4.1% end of June. They don’t speak in terms of new employment insurance claims, esp in raw numbers.

Thanks. I didn’t bother responding to that nonsense post by delrious trying to deflect from reality with a weekly unemployment claims number. That was weak troll deflection

I wonder if he realizes that most economists believe an unemployment rate under 5% is considered full employment? 🙄

Reality is the unemployment rate is at its highest since November 2021 (also 4.1%).

Wait, are people trying to spin 4.1% unemployment as bad??

Oh. Nevermind.

As long as there is not a pathway to the SCOTUS then Harris should be good. However...

I mean … … 😂😂😂😂😂😂 can you be any more of a troll.

Yes, he is rather bad troll or completely ignorant about economics. With inflation slowing down along with slowing US economy the Feds are happy. An unemployment rate of 4.1% is fine. In fact, the rise in unemployment numbers could indicate more people are actively looking for jobs who weren’t previously as those people aren’t tracked.

The attempt to state 4.1% unemployment is bad because it was previously 3.5% is such a dumb statement

Never mind, I see your November 2021 comment and just laugh. Take a look at graph below from Wikipedia and compare Trump and Biden’s job creation jackass.

I mean president trump did create -2 million jobs in his four years so there is that.

Job creation last presidents

He never explicitly said his own commentary? I'd at least allow him some rope to hang himself.

As you noted, the Feds purposely tried to tamp down the economy in a bid to tame inflation. Most economists believe this has worked spectacularly well; some like Larry Summers had previously opined you'd need a painful prolonged recession to defeat inflation. Although there's still a little bit of work left to do, I've seen enough to believe in unicorns: the Fed pulled off the mythical economic "soft landing."

His first post in this thread referenced a WEEKLY unemployment numbers report in a reply to my post about unemployment numbers being very good under Biden. He went micro to deflect from macro. Definite trolling attempt.

Once media companies finally started pushing headlines that companies were grifting consumers and making record profits inflation started to drop too. Huh.

Someone should really consider an addendum or two to that chapter about supply demand and market equilibrium, cause I swear to god (and this is the same across all sectors, finance, whatever) when the market demands price cuts cause supply tips the other way back again these corporations may not literally be shaking hands and making verbal deals, cartels, to keep prices high and profit flowing but they ARE communicating by not blinking. These bitches *are* communicating to collude and manipulate the market. They just found a way to do it you cant track.
I guess we really should hold the media responsible for this bullshit.

 

[K1052]

Commendable and honest speech.

 

[Brainonska511]

A pretty solid speech by Biden from the Oval Office on passing the torch to a younger generation.

 

[eelw]

Lol imagine the orange monkey attempting such a speech.

WH staff had a watch party back at the WH. But they’re celebrating with ice cream 🤣

 

[MrSquished]

Commendable and honest speech.

Yeah that was a good speech. He kept it short but hit so many good points and pretty much broke it down - What we are facing, what we need to do, and that Kamala is ready , and part of the next generation of leaders.

I've been in a really good mood the last few days. Feeling great still. Thanks Joe Biden. There was a bit too much drama but we made it, so thanks.

It was good Biden waited as long as he did to capitulate to demands: he let the Republicans spend their entire convention bashing him instead of the replacement candidate, Rs locked in their shitty VP choice, and he had time to secure the party's support for Harris to prevent a complete shit show.

Biden has always been almost criminally underrated as an orator.

Everything happened at different times for all the wrong reasons but it has turned out pretty well so far. I'll take it

That shit rings a bit hollow after all the fucking “cult”vitriol you spewed at JB/Dems/Donors/Anybody in here.

But I'm glad you're feeling really good. Great even. Give yourself a handy tonight.

Why should it ring hollow? I'm not taking back any of my assessments of Biden's behavior, or his inner circle, or his supporters delusions, the gaslighting, and the straight up denial of reality. What Biden did was due to immense pressure of people that dealt in reality, unlike him and his crew, who were willing to take down our country with them. Butultimately, he did the right thing - so for now I won't re-litigate what I and many others have proven true. We were totally correct. Not just about Biden and all the shit he put us through the last year, but about how this race needed to inspire Democrats, and Biden was not the guy. As we have seen from the last 4 days, we were all so so so correct, more than I even thought even. But now we have to beat Trump, we have the inspiration and the candidate we need - we have to go forth and win. Biden's legacy can be examined again later, when more and more info comes up, and I will gladly talk about it then. It won't be pretty.

But I am happy now because we have moved on, and I, like so many others, are actually hopeful for once about this election, and not miserable because of Joe Biden's completely flawed and unnecessary candidacy. So maybe I will touch myself. I am feeling good, so maybe I'll even bust out some lube. I'll think of you, I promise.

Hey I was just angry at Biden and crew for, you know, hiding shit and doing things that could destroy American democracy. You are mad at me because, I dunno, I said the truth, just sometimes in an over the top way.
Maybe you should actually get your priorities straight. Good luck with that. Have a good night.

Hey! Stay Angry until after the election. None of the Hillary bullshit like planning a big election night party at some place with a big glass ceiling.
Win first, celebrate afterwards. Keep it fucking modest otherwise it’s a sure fire way to jinx yourself.

Ha. Well like I said above, I am still completely all in to beat Trump. I'm angry at MAGA, but I'm not going to re-litigate the shit that we just went through right now, all the shit that was revealed about Biden and his acolytes, not good. I proved my point and the substance was 100% correct - and here we are. So now we have just a common enemy. I can now finally fight for democracy from a place of hope and fear and inspiration, not from a place of just fear. It's a much better place to be. And I have heard from a lot of people, both in my three dimensional land world, and online, that are all feeling the same. Kamala '24, fuck MAGA, let's go.

You made it? What the fuck did you accomplish?

Did you overturn Roe?
Did you appoint a 6-3 SCOTUS majority for generations so they can calvinball whatever the fuck you want?
Did you give the donors their tax cuts?
Did you successfully rig all future elections?

Atleast the Trumpanzees have reason to celebrate, but you ain't accomplished shit yet and you're partying like you just won the superbowl.

You should celebrate over steak (ridding us of maga for all time, and installing medicare for all).. not over getting a fucking individual chip without even a dip (Biden calling it a day).

That's why the Democratic party is losing men in hoards.. PREMATURE CELEBRATION.. basically a bush Mission Accomplished.

Honestly our last big celebration was Obergefell and maybe McCain thumbs down on killing ACA and Biden buying us 4 years.. We've not had much to celebrate over the last few years.

Stop yelling at the sky. You're wasting your time getting angry and imaginary things that you make up. Your whole post is just made up pretty much.

Just take a deep breath, mourn what you have to mourn, and let's go beat Trump.

We prosecuted our case against Biden and won, because we were telling the truth. Now it's time to prosecute the case against Trump, from a much better place.

Just step back for a while and see the reality in front of you. But I think the stepping back is important.
