Most of the issues coming to a head right now are chickens coming home to roost after decades of passing the buck. A generation of quantitative easing and now hyperinflation kicks in. Albright's NATO expansion up to Russia's doorstep only becomes a hot conflict after she exits stage left. Deadlocked legislators deferring critical issues to courts and bureaucracy instead of settling the law. And thats on top of surging crime, opioids, the national debt, supply chains, our waning geopolitical position, climate change, etc etc. I think its fair to say neither Trump nor Biden caused the lions share of it. But Trump put us on a path to peace and recovery. Biden plunged his headlong into conflict. If Trump had won reelection he would have faced these same challenges, but we wouldn't be escalating like madmen. Thats the difference. Bidens response to the acute threats of nuclear war and hyperinflation was to print hundreds of billions of dollars of military aid to kill Russians. In a couple days I expect him to try to pack the court and impeach justices

i've been saying for years that trump tends to underperform in polls - probably because many of his supporters are somewhat ashamed, or at the very least aware of the fact that supporting him (even in anonymous polls) is frowned upon.

that is, however, a somewhat irrelevant argument when you compare different candidates against him, as they all face the same issue.

Funny because I said many times that our underlying problems weren't being fixed under Trump and they were the same problems Obama left... and you vehemently disagreed with me and wrote dozens of pages defending Trump on that ground.

Funny how that works. Almost like you're a hack.

If he becomes the 6th, he can write the opinion as narrowly as possible, to eviscerate Roe v Wade as little as possible.

I think this was a liberal leak so that clinics and legislatures can prepare for the loss.

Quote

“In terms of who leaked it and why, it seems much more likely to me that it comes from the right in response to an actual or threatened defection by one of the five who voted to overturn Roe,” he said. “Leaking this early draft makes that more costly for a defector because now people will think that they changed their vote after the leak in response to public outrage.”

So your response to me excusing Biden of responsibility for most of our national crises is to accuse me of saying Trump was the cause of inflation, conflict with Russia, the crime and opioid and covid epidemics and losing our ground to China? Two different, inverted arguments don't cancel each other out
