    So there is still inflation. Saying it's not inflating quite as fast does it really mean anything you're still paying more.
    oh yeah it's dropping from a 30-year high it would have to. It's still way higher than it was in 2017.
    I guess that means no it does.
    no I just compare things down to better times not compare them to the spikes recently.


    Did the crime is much higher than it was in 2017 inflation is still a problem even though it's not inflating quite as fast. And we have fentanyl all crisis.

    Perhaps you're just a denial.

    yes they were you're asking me not to trust my lying eyes.
    It's mostly accurate criticism of our current and worst president of modern times.

    yes, my grandparents made 50 cents an hour, inflation happens, been happening, will continue to happen

    Covid related global supply shortages did cause some excessive price increases and corporate greed will likely never allow them to go back to where they were, thus wages will need to increase to match

    I didn't watch her so I don't know how well she did or didn't do ( once again please don't try to insert your straw man into our conversation...)

    I just detect a ripple in the force amongst the left because I am already seeing a lot of hate levied against her.... That tells me she is probably a good American worth paying attention to.

    Anytime the far left is angry it means good things for America.

    Literally it does but doesn't matter, what's important is that its going down which is something you want people to ignore.

    It's nothing too groundbreaking I think she's very passionate about what she says I would say it's not necessarily worth a watch she's just saying the same criticisms everyone has about Joe Biden she's just saying them in a way that delivers a bit of punch.

    The open borders are mainly an avenue for sex trafficking which is absolutely true that's the primary purpose behind it. Inflation is going crazy and people are overdosing on fentanyl maybe not even on purpose they didn't even know they were taking fentanyl.

    The fallacy being that she's a rising star?

    I held back slightly and tried to get past Britt's complete lampoonability (obviously her demeanor was for a particular demographic), however she disappointed when she dropped the lady-prim version of 'Mexicans are rapists'.

    There are so many genuine & intelligent reasons why the US should not and cannot open the flood gates for millions of asylum refugees. However the populist Right simply will not veer from false & unproductive sensationalism that comes close to dangerously tarring all immigrants and thus dividing the country further.

    I'm calling her out as fake and contrived until I hear differently.

    The fallacy of the OP video is that the content of the speech was not addressed but instead the woman herself and the delivery was the main focus.

    We can certainly find fault with factual content of all SOTU and SOTU response speeches. Both are notorious for stretching the truth or outright wrecking the truth.

    I haven’t taken the time to listen to Biden’s speech yet. I’m interested to see if he uses any appeal to emotion arguments or other fallacies in it.

    I only listened to this one because I found it amusing after years of Dems busting Rep chops for not having enough women politicians to see the vehement attack on this woman. It’s sad we don’t want diversity when that diversity includes diversity of lifestyle or opinion.

    At the risk of what-aboutism, I’m not sure the left position that it doesn’t matter that millions of unvetted folks are running around the country is any more reality based. I’m not even talking about crime. I see it as a valid national security risk and if that makes me a bigot then….well, I’m a bigot. :)

    9%,6% occurred in every nation on earth after the collapse of the global supply chain during covid, and the slow revival afterwards.

    Perhaps, you would have preferred the do nothing approach advocated by the GOP and Trump.

    Many countries did.

    And all of them are still dealing with high inflation.

    We are not.

    You made up the last part of your rant.

    I think the RNC is fairly incompetent. There is no doubt in my mind that the democrats do politics better. That is not a compliment.

    Nonsense. The supply chain issues were driven by and large by a Sharp up tick in Transportation costs and China lock down of the port of Shanghai and further aggravated by Newsom enacting policies that essentially froze out owner operators 60% of the US long haul trucking industry. Add to that Biden's roll back of Trump era energy policies, which reduced US energy exports to a crawl thereby increasing the cost of oil world wide thereby enriching Iran and Russia and making there current wars possible. This is the problem you get when you elect idiots and appoint ideologues.

    Biden rebutter Sen. Britt blasted for recycling 20-year-old sex traffic story to attack border policy

    Alabama Republican Sen. Katie Britt is under fire for using what appears to be a sex trafficking victim’s experience from the early 2000s to condemn President Joe Biden and his border policy.

    Britt gave the GOP rebuttal to Biden’s State of the Union address to Congress this week.

    During her rebuttal, Britt referenced a visit to the Del Rio sector of the Texas border where she depicted a seemingly personal conversation with someone who had survived sex trafficking by groups in the U.S.

    “That’s where I spoke to a woman who shared her story with me,” Britt said in the video. “She had been sex trafficked by the cartels starting at the age of 12.”

    The victim Britt referenced was Karla Jacinto Romero, who was sex trafficked in Mexico — not the United States, as the senator suggested — from 2004 to 2008, twenty years before the Democrat Biden became president.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/09/kat...icking-story-state-of-the-union-rebuttal.html

    In the mold of her party's leader, she lied.

    The final capitulation of the Republican Party to Donald Trump is a pathetic sight.

    Trump will raid the Party treasury, depress donors, and force the party to short change down ballot candidates.

    Which may have serious implications for the GOP in both the House and Senate.

    The support of Biden by the democrats is a pathetic sight. The only reason for it is that he he is tractable so there isn't any real boss in the white house. I'm confident that the DNC will replace him soon or at the convention. I don't think they have any other choice. I doubt they have any interest in losing the election. It is frustrating that our political system can't provide good candidates on either side.
