    The title of this thread should read “ Biden is a joke, voter’s remorse “.

    I agree it's low of Joe Biden to not acknowledge his grandchild. It's not surprising that privately he loses his temper and treats underlings not as well as he publicly says and yes he's a hypocrite.

    None of those are good and shows that Joe Biden is a flawed man and shouldn't be worshipped.

    Why stuff like this isn't getting so much traction though is for years now the Republican party has been defending a President who cheated on his wives, boasted about how he could cheat on his spouses, publicly berated underlings and continues to do so. The defense of him was that while he was a bad person he still presided over a great economy and was doing other things they liked. It was all a political witch hunt out to get him. Even that he was put in office by God and like Solomon and David he was serving God's purpose.

    If it seems like standards have been lowered for US Presidents Republicans largely have themselves to blame for doing so.

    It's quite wild that and double standard that folks on here are having such faux outrage about how biden is treating his actual granddaughter by not acknowledging her existence yet heap praises on trump or were quiet about his womanizing ways. Man cheats has 3 wives and multiple kids from different women yet instead of disgust, same folks just simply ignore it.

    Trump is not a hypocrite, that's genuinely who he is. That is simply accepted by his supporters.

    Biden on the other hand is a genuine hypocrite. I think that's what bothers people who might otherwise be enthusiastic supporters of Biden. I think this is one reason why the stated percentage of independents (variously estimated at some ~40% of the electorate) is so high right now.

    Trump is a hypocrite what r u rambling about. Someone who berates a prisoner of war hero, faked bone spurs to avoid going to Vietnam, yet always claims to love his country and the military.

    Man who accuses political opponents of being Chinese puppets and in bed with China yet does business with China and is friendly with their leader.

    Man reeks of hypocrisy.

    None of that original inflation went away (remember when we were told it was transitory and caused by supply chain bottlenecks due to the pandemic?). Combined that is 12.37% inflation in the last two years. It's nice that things haven't gotten worse as fast as they were before, but that is not a super high bar.

    it is just a case of you not understanding

    "original inflation" was a dead give-away​

    the inflation floodgate was opened when Trump started the ill-conceived / ineffective trade---disrupting global supply chains / creating bottlenecks---then the pandemic worsened it.

    the transitory remark was made during the Sep 2021 FOMC meeting, some 5 months before the Ukraine invasion; at the time, transitory was the correct description.

    then the Russian invasion of Ukrane happened, an unforseen event (by the Fed / Treasury nor anyone else not name Putin) which has the effect of driving prices of gasoline and bakery goods up significantly

    it is too bad that you don't understand these economic data


    bluntly put, you have no idea what your are talking about.
