Democrats are asking hard questions about the viability of the Biden campaign, and there are suggestions he stand down, either as a candidate (leading to an open convention) or even as President, in which case Kamala Harris would be president, and in all likelihood, the candidate for office this year. I\u2019m not going to even try to guess how this is going to unfold.<\/p>\n But the most important element of the debate was that Trump, as always, is a sociopathic, remorseless, malign, criminal liar. The Biden campaign listed 50 lies Trump told in just the 40 minutes in which he could speak. Yes, more than a lie a minute, and at that, he repeated many of them. But the campaign didn\u2019t say what made them lies. So let me give it a go:<\/p>\n Mark that a partial lie. Trump had the greatest economy TO 2019, in terms of sheer size. But if you draw a straight line from the start of Trump\u2019s term to today, leveling out the pandemic, then the economy has actually outperformed Trump\u2019s, more than making up for the pandemic dislocations.<\/p>\n Eight million jobs were lost in the early stages of the pandemic. But since taking office, Biden has seen a job increase of over 16 million jobs, which is eight million jobs net in just over three years. That\u2019s the biggest increase in American history. The \u201cillegal immigrants\u201d crack is just more Trump hate mongering.<\/p>\n Of course it will. The exporters in other countries aren\u2019t running charities; they cover their increased costs by raising prices. A typical kindergartener could figure that one out.<\/p>\n See number 3. There is no \u201cjust\u201d about it. Also, the best estimate for tariff revenues is about $400 billion, and that\u2019s assuming countries don\u2019t redirect trade to less protectionist countries.<\/p>\n He gave the top 1% the largest tax cut in history. It did nothing for working people, let alone the poor, and added 40% to the national debt.<\/p>\n Initially, he wanted to get out of Afghanistan two weeks after he made the snap decision. A horrified Pentagon persuaded him to make the pull out date March of 2021. He then released 15,000 Taliban prisoners, and ordered the Pentagon to slow-walk the pullout process, deliberately leaving Biden with an unsolvable mess in his first six weeks in office. Trump is probably just sorry that more American \u201closers and suckers\u201d weren\u2019t killed by the mess he deliberately made.<\/p>\n In a word, no. \u201cTrickle down\u201d has never spurred the economy, and it didn\u2019t this time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2017, revenues were $3.32T. In 2020, they were $3.42T. That\u2019s far less than inflation, or national economic growth\u2014in other words, a loss.<\/p>\n …He said, while trying to blame Biden for all the deaths after he left office. He did fast-track the vaccine program, the one thing he got right. But he bollixed everything else pertaining to the pandemic.<\/p>\n Biden\u2019s leadership ratings world wide, according to Pew, are slightly underwater, 41-46. But Trump\u2019s were a catastrophic 28-69 underwater. Nearly everyone hated and mistrusted Trump, and with good reason.<\/p>\n Another hate-mongering lie. There is no evidence to support this. But Hitler would be proud.<\/p>\n Medicare is doing just fine despite Republican efforts to destroy it. And while undocumented immigrants can get emergency medical care in some circumstances, for the most part they aren\u2019t covered. Even though they contribute nearly $2T\/year to the national economy.<\/p>\n No, they just deferred action on it. It\u2019s a catastrophe politically for the Republicans, since the vast majority of American aren\u2019t women-hating religious freaks.<\/p>\n Quite aside from being patently false, you would have to wonder why these foreign scholars would even give a fuck in the first place. It\u2019s not like they have to live here.<\/p>\n An absolute and utter lie, told by and believed by women-hating psychotics. The alleged quote is an utter fabrication.<\/p>\n The text of Roe v. Wade is online and easily available. It divides pregnancy into three \u201ctrimesters\u201d and has increasing amounts of restrictions for each trimester. Abortion was never available after the sixth month \u201con demand.\u201d It\u2019s a zealot lie, and of course, it\u2019s a Trump lie.<\/p>\n AKA \u201cthe Republican base.\u201d Another Trump hate mongering lie. You have to be a pretty vile human being to believe it.<\/p>\n A lie on the face of it. Immigration dropped, but that was the pandemic, and not Trump\u2019s non-existent policy.<\/p>\n Some were put briefly in hotels when the human-trafficking scum in Florida and Georgia foisted immigrants, some legal, on them.<\/p>\n The VA budget in 2017 was $177.54 billion. This year, it\u2019s $369.3 billion. Any questions?<\/p>\n According to Business Insider, \u201cYounger veterans prefer Biden, with 51% of veterans ages 35-54 backing Biden over Trump. Among veterans under the age of 35, 46% said they preferred Biden while 42% supported Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n No, they didn\u2019t. His own JCOS reported he said it.<\/p>\n I think it\u2019s very unlikely Trump has spoken to any soldiers since leaving office. He didn\u2019t have any respect for them while he was in office, after all.<\/p>\n He also destroyed the nuclear agreement we had with Iran and stood by meekly while Iran bombed American facilities in Iraq, injuring dozens of American troops. He even held up issuing purple heart medals because he didn\u2019t want the public to know the damage his policies caused to US troops.<\/p>\n You mean besides January 6th<\/sup>? Well, see answer 25, immediately above. It\u2019s still terror if your own little Nazi shitbags commit it.<\/p>\n Demonstrably false from the documentary itself, which shows Pelosi frantically asking the White House and other available authorities for National Guard protection while Trump watched TV and chortled.<\/p>\n Republicans have been predicting doom for Social Security \u201cany time now\u201d since 1935. But undocumented aliens aren\u2019t eligible for Social Security. But then, you knew that, didn\u2019t you.<\/p>\n Hatemongering. Insert the word \u201cJews\u201d for \u201cimmigrants\u201d and you\u2019ll see where he gets it from.<\/p>\n OK, that one is actually true. He does. America isn\u2019t here to serve the superrich.<\/p>\n If he means quadrupling taxes, that\u2019s sort of true for the billionaire class. He wants to raise their tax rate from 6% to 25%. By comparison, the average middle-class family pays about 16%.<\/p>\n In terms of unadjusted dollars, yes, but in terms of percentage of GDP, not even close. Not even in the top 15 years.<\/p>\n So there are actually 47 demonstrable lies there, two that were somewhat true, and one too incoherent to tell.<\/p>\n No, Biden didn\u2019t do well. And Democrats are going to have to waste no time sorting that out. But Trump was, and is, a malicious, vicious, remorseless and relentless liar, and if he gets back in, he will destroy America and take most of us with it.<\/p>\n If the Dems have to replace Biden, they will do so. But Trump is far worse, and the Republicans lack any character or courage. We\u2019re stuck with him as a candidate, and there\u2019s no circumstance where he\u2019s better than Biden.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bryan Zepp Jamieson June 28th 2024 www.zeppscommentaries.com It\u2019s one thing to say that Biden performed extremely poorly during the debate, and he did, looking and sounding like an 82 year old man pushed beyond his limits.
