U.S. Mid-terms

Of course he shares some of the blame for the rise in deaths. More fentanyl is getting through the US-Mexico border than ever before.

what a dummy
you have to have control over your boarders
criminals are always looking to exploit weakness

Trump let covid into the united states and pretended like it didn't exist while millions got infected and died. So by the same token you must blame him too. How did fentanyl become an epidemic in Canada ? We don't have a border with Mexico. How do they get it in Europe? It must be hunter Biden
 
Southwest land border encounters by year since 2017

2017 (Trump) 415,191
2018 (Trump) 521,090
2019 (Trump) 977,509
2021 (Biden) 1,734,686
2022 (Biden) 2,378,944

I'm no mathematician but this kind of looks like a trend I would think.january 2019 was when the stay in Mexico came in place - by the end if the year

The problem with right wingers is that they think they can have their cake and eat it too you can't give Trump the excuse of covid in 2020 causing negative jobs and not afford Biden the excuse of covid causing inflation worldwide. Government spending on infrastructure and green policies did not cause inflation; there is no sound correlation between bidens policies and the rise in rhe price of goods. You can't blame the price of oil on canceling pipelines that never existed. OPEC is not controlled by Joe Biden, the FED runs independently from the government Joe Biden has virtually no control over either of these other than lobbying
 
Then Biden came in and scrapped pretty much every Trump policy and look what happened. Oh and btw next to no deportations. This is a major threat to US national security.

Which policies did Biden scrap?

You think the united states shutting down its borders completely in 2020 might have had something to do with it ?

Obviously not.
In response to the crisis of 2019, Trump traveled back in time to 2018 and instated the Remain in Mexico policy, which started in January of 2019, and resulted in the highest immigration numbers of his presidency.

Wait...
 
On a separate note, here is a nice summary of the crime situation by Radley Balko.
It's nice to see someone with real expertise in the field point out the unknowns.

So what did cause the rise in murders?

I don’t know, and anyone who says they know for sure is lying to you. We can’t even say for certain what caused crime to drop so dramatically through the late 1990s and early 2000s.

 
Early data has the Democrats leading in early voting.
 
that happens when you make a mess >>>>>>> you get blamed for the mess you made
Biden was given the ball and he fumbled it
The ball was never handed off properly...Trump set the place on fire for Biden to deal with, and it was done on purpose.

that type of thinking is absurd
Trump did not force Biden to spend like a fool and Trump did not force Biden to try to kill the US energy sector

learn something
Biden was handed to ball in Jan 2021 , with control of the house & senate

I am no fan of Trump and hope he does not run again
But Bidens policies are ideological driven economic nightmares & he has created a god damn mess

Democrats also tend to early vote and GOP voters tend to go day of.

My prediction GOP House +30
GOP Senate +3

Anyone else wanna give their numbers?

There you go again. Trying to rely upon facts and logic. You are wasting your time.

So much drama over a U.S. midterm........I believe an esteemed member said the Red Wave would be a bloody tampon. He and others tend to post things that are bombastic.

It really doesn't matter who is President and what their policies were. The President's party will not do well today or in most first midterms of an Administration. The U.S. electorate is not ideological and they are quite a bit fickle. They also might not like what Biden has done or focused on because they didn't give the Dems a resounding mandate in 2020. The damage today would have been worse if the Republicans didn't pick-up 14 House seats in 2020.

You also realize that these years go from Oct1 to Sept30 right? That means the year 2020 includes 5 full pre-covid months (Oct19-Feb20) where encounters dropped dramatically from the 2nd half of fiscal year 2019. As soon as Biden got into office and changed border policy they spiked like crazy and have remained at that level since.

KD, just curious, if there were to be a blue wave and Dems pick up seats in the house and Senate will you accept the results? I know, it's unlikely but will you accept the results?
