    Obama’s Last Three Years Of Job Growth All Beat Trump’s Best Year

    this was before COVID. now hes net -4 millions jobs.

    He also lost more coal jobs than obama even tho he was supposed to bring it back.
    President Trump says he ended the "war on coal." But industry casualties have accelerated under his turbulent leadership, with coal plant retirements eclipsing those that occurred during the last four years of Barack Obama's presidency.

    According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (USEIA), total U.S. coal production in 2019 was 705.3 tons, down 6.8 percent from the previous year and the lowest level of output in over 41 years. In 2018, production likewise fell by 2.4 percent. According to the Kentucky Annual Economic Report 2020, the state’s coal production likewise fell 5.2 percent in 2018 to 39.6 million tons, the lowest level of output since 1954.

    how about farmers? The rate of bankruptcies were at its highest in 8 years. This was also before COVID.

    The CHINA-US deficit also hit record highs,
    The overall trade deficit was $67.1 billion, reflecting a surplus in services trade with the rest of world — the highest since 2006. The deficit for U.S. goods trade by itself was $83.9 billion, the highest ever recorded.

    this is why if repugs can field a halfway decent person ( news flash trump wasnt) they always will have a punchers chance..having the "R" alone puts you at 25% at least

    It's like codependency in a narcissistic relationship. They are used to being bullied by the narcissist, and believe it's deep down all their fault.

    Many have wanted this, but the Elections Clause of the Consitution has been interpreted to give much authority to states in this arena. This interpretation is generally in line with states' rights and is mostly backed by conservative juresprudence.

    The attack against states' elections rules has only recently become a Trump Republican thing. Prior to COVID, Republicans have heavily favored states deciding rules such as variation in stricter voter ID laws for voting and deciding who could vote (like ex felon status).

    It's pretty obvious that these recent criticisms of the elections system are 99% motivated by the fact that Trump is probably going to lose the election, but I'm open to seeing all challenges go through the legal process. It's their money and their right to follow the actions of a petulant man-child.
