I am not a supporter of Biden---that said, I fear for this nation if we have to endure four more years of trump's assault on the Constitution and the rule of law---and just down right decency. My expectation is that if he hangs around for four more years the recovery time will be squared---from four years currently to 16 years after a second show of disgrace.

Hardly anybody is a supporter of Biden. They are against Trump.
OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
I invite you to fact check and disprove anything, and your interpretation of this,
Dow November 1 2016 18037
August 8 2020. 27433
Unemployment for November 2016 was 7.8%
February 2020 3.5% I intentionally did not include post covid numbers, because I think that would have been beyond the control of anybody that, basically, shut down the economy.
Interestingly, www.factcheck.org, which tends to lean liberal said that in 2018 the biggest problem with unemployment at that time is that there were just not enough workers. The labor force participation rate went down under Obama by 2.8%. Which means that 2.8% of people who used to be employed just gave up on finding a job under Obama, for whatever reason. It remained stagnant (which is better) under Trump. March of 2018 was the first time ever that there were more jobs than people looking for work.
National debt was 76% of gdp April 2016
December 2019 79.2% of gdp
Obama added $8.5 trillion to the national debt
Trump is anticipated to add the same with Coronavirus incentives. He also has seen the fastest increase in debt of any president.
GDP growth under Obama was 1.6% for his eight years
Trump was 2.5% for his four years
Interestingly, Trump was the highest growth president that came in with an already growing economy. Clinton was the highest growing in a non war economy, but benefited from the recession that happened in 1992
Trump has had 8 mass shootings
Obama had 8 mass shootings.
Trump did have a larger fatality and injury count, mainly due to the Vegas shooter killing 58 and wounding 851 over all 157 fatalities, not counting the shooter and 945 wounded
Obama had 151 fatalities and 204 wounded
The vast majority of trumps fatalities and injured came from the Las Vegas shooting and would have been at 99 fatalities and 94 wounded
Obama’s first term he had 118 fatalities and 114 wounded
This is from the top 25 mass shootings
Income tax revenues in 2017, the last year of taxes paid on income earned while Obama was president, $3.3 trillion with $ 1.7 trillion being personal income tax revenues
2019 $3.5 trillion with $1.7 trillion coming from personal income tax. This means that corporations were making way more money because of the decrease of the corporate tax rate
Dollar value in 1960 was equivalent to $8.75 today.
1960 federal tax revenues were $93 billion. The highest tax rate was 91% for those making over $200,000 a year, the equivalent of $1.75 million in 2020 dollars

Dave said Trump has accomplished nothing. Statistics, and facts disprove that. He has fallen into the cult of personality, that hates Trump because he is an ass. Don’t confuse a persons effectiveness with how popular he is.
I can gice you another statistic that may surprise you, the US alone has spent $3,000,000,000,000 on covid relief alone. Thhis is because the economy was effectively shut down. There have been 180,000 deaths. So, for each death, the US has spent about $16,666,666 dollars.
Every year, worldwide, 4,000,000 people die of hunger. With that $3,000,000,000,000 dollars, there would have been $7,500,000 in relief, which would easily feed them all for their entire life.
How about Jeff Bezos, a fine democrat, and owner of the Washington Post has made a few billion dollars since covid. If he was willing to give up his $150,000,000,000 in gains, and distribute them to his 800,000 employees, they would each get a bonus of about $170,000, on top of the $14 an hour they are paid. The average amazon salary is $28,836. Bezos would still be worth $50,000,000,000.

Ok, gotcha. I agree that what we are doing is crazy. The people we saved will be long gone before this mess is cleaned up.

Here we have it in black & white from the Chi-Com’s house organ press that Biden Thinks “Parallel” To China.
https://thenationalpulse.com/politic...biden-beijing/
To think in step with China would be for the next president to approve and fall in line with China’s policy of “lie, cheat & steal” whenever and wherever possible.
“As a young member of the Foreign Relations Committee, I wrote and I said and I believed then what I believe now, that a rising China is a positive, positive development, not only for China, but for America and the world writ large.”— Sen. Joe Biden

Sino-Joe gave a speech in Detroit yesterday which concentrated on trying to steal President Trump’s longtime work to “bring jobs back to America.” Biden promised to do the same with emphasis on automotive jobs. Now we learn that the Chi-Com investment company which put Hunter Biden on its board and made him a 10% principal in the company right after Joe trolled his druggie son through Beijing on Air Force 2 and the Commie Government gave the company &1,500,000,000 to play with to buy American companies, the company bought a Michigan precision machining company and moved American jobs of the company to China, Mexico, Europe, and South America.
Unfortunately, as in Detroit and everywhere else, Joe & handlers are not allowing any independent real questions even be shouted at him asking about the family business vis a vie China.
Amusingly, I watched his speech and the applause lines had maybe three people clapping wildly. The cameras were never allowed to be turned to see the absence of humans watching or the presence of teleprompters. What a shill of a candidate. It was a good campaign speech though, well written and delivered....BHR, with Hunter Biden on the board of directors and Devon Archer as the vice chairman and Investment Committee member, engaged in a series of financial deals that served the strategic interests of Beijing. In one of their first deals, the firm took an ownership stake in China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN), a nuclear energy company. The company was charged in 2016 with espionage against the United States. Also charged was an engineer who stole nuclear secrets from the United States.
BHR also helped buy out the American precision machining company Henniges. They bought the company in a joint deal with Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), a military contractor owned by the Chinese government. Because Henniges’s technology has military application, and therefore national security implications, the deal had to be approved by an interagency committee made up of Obama-Biden administration officials...
