(31,112 posts)There is not a better performance by a prez in every category in recent history than Joe, but the media will keep pounding him with bullshit and his numbers won't improve.
Not sure it will even matter given that this November GOP states are NOT going to certify the elections they lose.

(15,542 posts)The MSM likes to stoke the fires to keep things stirred up for ratings. You'll never see the nightly news lead off with these statistics.
They do more harm to our country than anything else. Heck, they're also responsible for shoving tfg down our throats constantly in 2016.

down our throats
Damn right they are. Hugely responsible. Oh, look, Trump is breathing!
Im just as passed at them as I am at everyone who voted for him.

Blaming for gas prices, all the tropes get thrown and see what sticks?
Republicans plant seeds, and most of doubt or related to women, and they are the coke orgy party?
oldsoftie
(12,564 posts)Gas is at an all time high. Yes Putin is the cause of much of it, but prices had been quickly increasing long before UKR became a focal point. Costs for everything are way up. STILL long wait times for just about everything major.
Much of the trouble is a residual from the pandemic & all the shutdowns across the world. But then the pandemic is also why trump ended up with negative jobs; before covid he also had a high number of jobs added Again, he gets the credit/blame for the dismal final number. And Biden shouldn't be blamed for problems that couldn't just disappear after we started emerging from the covid malaise. But the president gets the blame/credit.
And the vast majority of people only look at how THEY are doing to judge who's in office. They're not on DU & they don't pay attention to much politics before election month.
It aint fair, but thats the way it is.
