Quote:It is Biden's fault,he's still the president right? And the Democrats still control the Senate don't they? It's still a month before Trump takes office and tries to fix the things that they've fucked up. Inflation, the border, Ukraine, Israel, and illegal immigrants, etc.
Actually it's not
1. Trumps not going to fix anything
2. Inflation isn't Biden's fault
3. The border isn't Biden's fault
4. Ukraine is Russia's fault
5. The war in the middle east has been a thing for decades
6. illegal immigrants have been coming to America long before Biden was in office

Matt Gaetz is threatening that if his sexual misconduct gets revealed, he’ll call out all the other pervert Republicans in Congress.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If I understood that article correctly, Matt Gaetz just admitted to being a sexual predator without using the phrase, 'I'm a sexual predator.'

That's how Republicans do right now. Just look at Trump who never claims innocence but, instead, that he had the right to do the crime and gets out of his criminal quagmires on a technicality.

You’d think that any sensible person who was falsely accused of diddling underage girls would WANT the report released, instead of threatening to retaliate.

Anyone has the right to criticize their government and its actions (in an ostensible democracy, at least), but they should probably first take a minute to learn how that government operates.
Mr. Macabre seems to have omitted that rather important step.

6. illegal immigrants have been coming to America long before Biden was in office Sure, between 11-18 million illegal immigrants cross our border every 3+ years. Inflation is the democrat's fault, when Biden took office, the rate of inflation was 1.9%. In the past almost 4 years now, the price of EVERYTHING is through the fucking roof. Things like energy and groceries have gone up 50% since that senile POS took over(has he really been making these decisions on his own? Doubtful. Who's really been running the country for the last 2 or 3 years?), and those prices haven't gone down, and may never improve.
We're struggling just to make ends meet, with the price of everything being so expensive. I'm retired on permanent disability, and my wife works in the title industry, and our total yearly income has gone down in the past 3 years because the real estate industry has been struggling with high interest rates. Getting the democrats out of power won't be anything but good for the country.
I know you disagree, but that's why we're very lucky to live where we do, we can all say what we'd like to say, even if it's not very popular.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy, why is it solely the fault of the Biden administration? Please cite some sound economics and maths, bare claims and rhetoric won't do.

How does putting a shyster billionaire who has demonstrated time and again, that he is devoid of integrity and any ethical standards, help this situation?

Again please support this claim with something beyond an irrational post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy?

Or true of course, which is a problem, especially when someone who seeks the highest office in the land is an habitual liar, that denies objective facts, and is the very definition of a self serving and amoral narcissist. The hero worship, people pour on him, based on irrational fears, is deeply worrying, and we should all know why.
