    WTF does that have to do with your false claim this THIS election was rigged?

    Gross domestic product includes government spending so these numbers don't help at all.

    Say "Hi!" to Trump's pals for us if you see them at a MAGA rally. :roflol:

    IOW, Biden promised his voters change. What specifically did Trump promise to achieve in his second term?

    And who are/were Trump's political advisors?

    He made them the same. What he didn't do is what Obama didn't do--change economic fundamentals that would make the economy grow faster. For example, we have too much capital tied up in residential housing.
    It won't because of the economic disaster brought on by SARS-CoV-2, but I will criticize Democrats if they don't press for changes that improve growth. (No, I don't think a lot of talk about "green jobs" qualifies.)

    Absurd propaganda. BLM are not behind the violent street protests.

    If you want to have an intelligent discussion about the riots, start with the failure of the mayor to crack down on the perps.

    I thought you were already aware of my disdain for the faux science of economics.

    Extreme partisan hate is a blinder.

    What a contrast in inaugural speeches.

    Trump:
    "Today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington D.C. and giving it back to you, The People".

    "Whether we are black, or brown, or white we all bleed the same red blood of patriots. We all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American flag."

    Biden themes: "Winter of peril", "political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism", "anger resentment and hatred", "this uncivil war", "fear, division and darkness".

    The major plank of the Democrat Party platform keeps people in line through manufactured fear propaganda.

    Trump should have not allowed his attackers to distract him from that constant message of hope and optimism and of a government working by consent of the people. They knew his Achilles heel and Trump got in the way of a great and unifying message. Hopefully in 2024, the GOP (or maybe 3rd party) will continue the populist message with a calmer and less defensive messenger.

    I don't pay much attention to assertions about economics a "science," pro or con.

    P.S. It doesn't have to be a science to be relevant.

    That is true. If we could get economists to agree on things it would be relevant. As it is, it is like politics. Two or more truths.

    You're parroting Trump lies. Why don't you shift gears to talk about real issues?
    It was BS. He told people he wouldn't rates for the top tax bracket, then turned around and gave 85% of the tax cuts to people making more than $400,000.
    Trump shot himself in the foot with his lies. He also completely blew the virus response...

    How about a candidate who intends to do something about this...?

    Economists generally agree on important issues. A few quacks don't invalidate what the majority of doctors say and the same is true for economists.

    I guess this means you don't want to discuss the Portland protests.

    Then there are far too many quacks. All I hear is disagreement. I'm sure they all agree on the validity of the law of supply and demand but, as soon as they start analyzing human nature, it fall out into disagreement. No surprise since human nature is really hard to analyze.

    Headed up by the US and operation Warp Speed, Trump's operation Warp Speed.

    He's 78 years old and it looks pretty good and had no problem clearing his hips note the club may be a little inside and a little flat but not much being as old as he is he can't get the club quite to the top but an effective swing which according to Tiger Woods carries some distance.

    Donald Trump’s golf swing? It’s pretty good
    "“He’s got a bit of a flat back-swing, but that might be deliberate. History is littered with players who had slightly ‘off’ back-swings, but they managed to re-route it and get the club in a good place coming down.

    “That’s what Trump manages to do, so while he might hit the odd ball left, he’ll usually hit it well.”

    Gary Smith, who has worked with former Masters champion Danny Willett and former US Open and reigning Olympic champion Justin Rose, agrees that Trump has a sound, solid action on the way down, and manages to make light of an unconventional takeaway and an abrupt end to his follow-through.

    “His aim is good, he’s got great alignment and looks reasonably flexible,” says Smith. “It also looks like his arms are hanging great, so one would assume his grip is fine. For someone of his age and size, it’s a mighty good action."

    I hope he thuroughly enjoys being able to play golf everyday now!

    Because courts refused to hold trials. It was presented in abbreviated form in the Senate hearings while his attorney's listed the times they were dismissed without holding evidentiary hearings, but then you knew that already.

    Yes, not one full due process evidentiary hearing on the integrity of the election so far.
    The truth has become very inconvenient.

    You're wrong about what economists believe, and just as wrong to assume the value economists offer is wrapped up--limited to?--in how humans act.
