The 2024 US Presidential election
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
Beav, you're cherry picking information again. Sometimes you're even trying to pick cherries off of a peach tree.Again did you check out the statistics from 1998 to the 2023? When all the righties doomsday media try to berate California just because it has been Democratic leaning in the last decade, you seem to follow them tooth and nail. Do not forget that California' biggest growth rate was under Gray Davis a Democrat who was the one to trigger California's economy, in investments etc. to push California up from the 7th to the 5th largest economy in the world that Arnold then inherited. He also induced the trade with Mexico, improving California's Water & Air Quality boosting their Healthcare program. But talking about Arnold, well, well, well, wonder why he endorsed Kamala Harris in the last elections?
His policies were more in line with the Democratic policies and no doubt the Republicans have moved more extreme right with Trump!!
Now you attack California although the fact is from 2011 when the Democrats took office, the GDP growth rate grew exponentially as compared to all the other States economies including the Federal Economy. But one fact that missed is that in the last 30 years The Democrats were in power for 17 Years while the Republicans had just 13 years. Also you mentioned about Canada's economy in the past 15 years. Harper inherited a booming Canadian that was well ahead of the USA who were in a recession. He plunged the economy that into a recession, that did not recover when he handed it to the Liberal Government. Meanwhile the USA's economy was already out of a recession. Say no more!!
I'm not sure why you are touting Democrat Gray Davis. He was recalled by voters. He served as CA Governor when President Bush was President. While I think your hunt to connect any economic gains to liberals around the world is silly, it's easy to say the U.S. President is far more important to the economy than individual State Governors. Isn't Trudeau's leadership more important to Toronto's economy than Doug Ford's? Anyway, Gray Davis was demonstrably unpopular as he was not allowed to serve out his term.
Now you're saying this Republican (Schwarzenegger) is different than other Republicans. So now you're cherry-picking Republicans too. You're the one making the California economy a team sport of California Democrats vs. California Republicans. No, you don't get to choose all the Democrats and select whichever Republicans you need to force fit your narrative.
I'm not sure why you're still discussing Stephen Harper today. I'm sorry only a chronic cheerleader would ignore the crash in oil prices in 2014/15 and oil's relative importance to Canada. Anyway, ten years is a long, long time and it is far long enough for Trudeau's leadership to deal with the structural economic malaise.
We can all see you attribute any economic gains to liberal leadership and any economic stagnation/recession that occurs under liberals' leadership to conservatives. It's just too bad Trudeau after ten years has not figured out how to deliver on your magic formula.
Lastly, I do not criticize California's economy. I generally criticize California's policies that interfere with freedoms. I criticize their extreme focus on equity. I criticize California's approach to law enforcement and lax prosecution of crime. It's now also a very expensive place to live even in rural regions of the State. As I always say, I prefer to focus on individual policies rather than on sweeping partisan generalizations.

A yes, Thailand for you would be perfect! I agree!that's great
I was kind of worried that the election results might have hit hard
glad you are ok
you sure it's not you in the picture?
BTW: I also hate the cold
love to move to Thailand
Enjoy and no need to thank me! I am here for you brother.
Ok Didn't know, I think they got rid of Jim Acosta since the election, I didn't see him around.
I am wondering if Trump has pulled a 1980 Reagan hostage crisis move with either or Putin and Bibi.
Says he's not into girls with dicks. They proceeds to youtube and types ladyboys.

I am helping Juan out, guess you can't see the difference. It explains how a felon can con you into believing anything at all.
It doesn't matter if a peace deal is early in 2025 or later, you know people on the Left will say it was prearranged with Putin and/or Bibi. As I said earlier, the Biden Administration should have been working on a cease fire and peace agreement in the Ukraine all year.
And now the election is over, maybe we can ask and discuss questions like grown-ups instead of squabbling adolescents. Who do you suppose is making decisions as they relate to the Ukraine? It is unclear to me.
Maddie has a great pair of tits. She's blonde and not that bright but the tits are spectacular so YES, I would happily do her.Woke College students STUNNED when they hear Charlie Kirk

I think he's still on CNN. I don't know when exactly.
Maybe he can go back to being CNN's White House Correspondent where he can quibble with every last word of President Trump. Some of you would find that just dandy, but remember President Biden rarely had open press conferences.

You don't even know her. Why would you say this?
She asked him a question. Asking questions is a sign of intelligence.
You might be a misogynist.
"I'll take Rapey 47 for 200 Alex"
"Which old fat rich President is a 32-time convicted felon, insurrectionist. rapist and pussy grabbing rape hound?"
"That orange howler monkey, Donald Trump?"
Adjudicated rape, with a judge ruling that it is legally and technically correct to call him a rapist.
Stop lying yourself.
You guys are so weird, cheering on revenge by a born rich con man who is senile, an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.
Why do you think a felon will give you revenge?
To be honest, I do not know what the solution is. Russia has bleed to much to just walk away, same with Ukraine. They want to defend their nation from invaders. Trump and Vance have already talked about cutting funding and arms shipments to Ukraine, so they likely won't be able to sustain combat operations as effectively. I'm not sure what the best course of action is, but I cannot see Ukraine accepting peace with Russia if it involves losing territory (well, maybe Crimea can go).
As for Israel/Gaza....Better minds than mine have been working on that for a loooooong time. I don't think Trump is going to help cool things down, I mean there is a good argument that him moving the US embassy to Jerusalem was a big deal for the Palestinians. This is a much harder place to find lasting peace...There is sooooo much hatred between the two sides, they've hated each other for generations, they have different religions. From Trump's previous actions, he'd continue to allow Israel to pound Gaza (and other places), which will eventually result in a short "peace" where the Palestinians regroup and rearm....and likely strike back like they did on October 7...
