Oh yeah, he's had some really bad gaffes before! He, like Trumps, makes me nervous. Less nervous than Trump, but still. I'd love Hillary to run and win this time. I’d prefer Biden not to run again. That said, if he is the only candidate that moderate Republicans or Independents will vote for in a race against a Trump (any Trump) or another loon like DeSantis, I will vote for him in the primary and election. Hillary is currently 74, so I don't understand why she somehow is exempt from your age concerns. Hillary, was by far my first choice back when she ran against Obama in the primaries and then, of course, when she ran against Trump. I don't think that Clinton should run again because she has proven that the American public will vote for a sleazy television star above someone with actual qualifications and experience if the inexperienced traitorous sleazeball has a penis at this point in time. She absolutely will not be able to defeat any POS the GOP puts up, even if she is exponentially more qualified and better able to lead the country than whomever they put up. The crap that my GOP friends spew about Harris is straight out of a misogynistic playbook - it is even worse than during the election. I don't know if I could stomach the white supremacist sexist GOP rants if Clinton or Harris were to run in 2024 (of course I would, and would support the candidate, but I think that America would elect a gay male, like Buttigieg, before a woman, which is depressing as f&ck). My concern about Biden isn't so much his age, but what as I said before I didn't think he is well, all there. The person who thought me saying "all there" is rude is the one who is ageist. I think Hillary is all there and would be an incredible president. |

🤣🤣 nice try…I’d rank you on equal par with her. Coming from someone who is too uninformed to be able to name who the VP of the USA is, I’ll take that as a compliment. Thank you. 👍🏻 So you admit you know who I was referring to!!! 🤣🤣🤣 i wouldn’t take it as a compliment if I was you. I think she’s a complete unqualified moron who can’t make a make a statement with out embarrassing herself….or embarrassing this country. you’re still on par with her in my book. |

And again, she’s a complete unqualified moron who can’t make a make a statement with out embarrassing herself….or embarrassing this country. How is she unqualified? She was the DA of San Francisco before becoming the AG of the most populous state in the United States. She is smart and has stuff to learn. Will there be missteps. Absolutely because nobody is perfect. But for the most part I think she is doing a good job. In all seriousness what were trump’s qualifications to become president? I finally figured it out that people voted for him in the primaries against established much more qualified Republican candidates because he yelled “you’re fired” on a reality TV show. Which bled over into the general election. And instead of electing on of the most qualified individuals that had run for President in a very long time the voters elected a two bit reality show guy. I mean it certainly wasn’t because he was a successful businessman. You are not successful if your old man has to bail you out and you declare bankruptcy at least 4 times and have a history of not paying businesses that do work for you. And I have to say I was chuckling when I was pounding out my response and thinking about your belief VP Harris is embarrassing this country because I kept getting thoughts of how the last administration embarrassed this country. Over and over and over again. |

She is smart and has stuff to learn. Will there be missteps. Absolutely because nobody is perfect. But for the most part I think she is doing a good job. Even you can’t endorse fully endorse her. This country would be in really deep shit if biden croaks. She’s completely unqualified for the job and she got it because she’s a woman. The left elected her because clinton lost. |

Google it. It’s not hard. Maybe you can educate yourself about the near 2 million people who have pored over our borders in the past 2 years. Go watch one of her interviews on YouTube. ETA: Here, I’ll help you out, google “harris word salad”. but you just keep ignoring, sidestepping and condoning this administration’s failures. |

I want your data that you review that you can make the claims of Kamala's making a fool of herself. You link the interview of where you say she is making a fool of herself, so I can critique it and make my own conclusions.
The border problems are not about only people crossing the border. How about all of the drugs that have been seized? |

Just because border patrol had encounters with 2 million people, that doesn't mean there are an additional 2 million people in the US. People who are denied entry are counted and people that cross multiple times are counted multiple times. How about the fact that Ron DeSantis's political stunt as well as Abbott's have encouraged more people to come to the US? Republicans like to attack Democrats for the the border and immigration but don't have any actual solutions. They just like to take photo ops at the border. Talking about invasions, caravans, busing migrants to DC etc are all part of the Republican scare tactics. While you're googling inflation & gas prices, please google immigration and educate yourself. |

Do you like paying $5.00 - $7.00 a gallon for gas? I don’t. Inflation is at a 40-year high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are at a 70-year high. hmm, I wonder if there’s any connection there. Inflation and gas prices were not a problem early in Trump’s administration because he was still reaping the benefits of the much-wiser Obama policies. There’s always crossover between administrations. You’re an adult, you should understand that. We are now suffering from (1) the many Trump f*ck-ups because he is terminally incapable of making a sensible decision, and (2) the fallout from two years of a global pandemic that, ya know, killed a bunch of people and messed with manufacturing and transportation. I’m sure you’ve heard about it, but of course, that’s not as much fun as bitching about Democrats. And I’m totally sure that Trump's idiotic deal with the Saudis to cut oil production has nooooothing to do with today’s high gas prices.  |

I’d prefer Biden not to run again. That said, if he is the only candidate that moderate Republicans or Independents will vote for in a race against a Trump (any Trump) or another loon like DeSantis, I will vote for him in the primary and election. Hillary is currently 74, so I don't understand why she somehow is exempt from your age concerns. Hillary, was by far my first choice back when she ran against Obama in the primaries and then, of course, when she ran against Trump. I don't think that Clinton should run again because has proven that the American public will vote for a sleazy television star above someone with actual qualifications and experience if the inexperienced traitorous sleazeball has a penis at this point in time. She absolutely will not be able to defeat any POS the GOP puts up, even if she is exponentially more qualified and better able to lead the country than whomever they put up. The crap that my GOP friends spew about Harris is straight out of a misogynistic playbook - it is even worse than during the election. I don't know if I could stomach the white supremacist sexist GOP rants if Clinton or Harris were to run in 2024 (of course I would, and would support the candidate, but I think that America would elect a gay male, like Buttigieg, before a woman, which is depressing as f&ck). Camilla Harris is the most unqualified mistake of a vp this country has ever seen. As much as I hate biden, I hope nothing happens to him before his presidency is over. if she were president, china and russia would waltz right in and take over. I think you have a short term memory. Did you forget some of the dumb things Dan Quayle said? He couldn't count either. Here's just a sampling Dan Quayle Malapropisms
"Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child."
"One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared.'"
"When I have been asked during these last weeks who caused the riots and the killing in L.A., my answer has been direct and simple: Who is to blame for the riots? The rioters are to blame. Who is to blame for the killings? The killers are to blame."
"Illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having it."
"You all look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you have been, and, as far as I am concerned, happy campers you will always be."
—in a speech to American Samoans
Education
"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."
"We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world."
"Add one little bit on the end...Think of 'potato,' how's it spelled? You're right phonetically, but what else...? There ya' go...all right!"
—"correcting" a student's correct spelling of the word "potato" during a spelling bee at an elementary school (he told the student to add an "e" at the end)
"Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teaches our children."
On Space
"Mars is essentially in the same orbit...Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe."
"For NASA, space is still a high priority."
"[It's] time for the human race to enter the solar system."
"We are leaders of the world of the space program. We have been the leaders of the world of our...of the space program and we're not going to continue where we're going to go, notwithstanding the Soviet Union's demise and collapse—the former Soviet Union—we now have independent republics which used to be called the Soviet Union. Space is the next frontier to be explored. And we're going to explore. Think of all the things we rely upon in space today: communications from...Japan, detection of potential ballistic missile attacks. Ballistic missiles are still here. Other nations do have ballistic missiles. How do you think we were able to detect some of the Scud missiles and things like that? Space, reconnaissance, weather, communications—you name it. We use space a lot today."
On History
"The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century."
"People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history."
On the Future
"I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy—but that could change."
"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future."
"The future will be better tomorrow."
"We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur."
With Geography
"We have a firm commitment to NATO. We are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe."
"I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix."
"It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago."
And Finally...
"The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle may or may not make."
"I stand by all my misstatements." |

As far as qualifications, VP Harris has an excellent resume and credentials. She is as qualified as any other VP in recent history. Before being elected, she was a District Attorney for San Francisco, Attorney General for California and a US Senator. The conservative criticisms of her, deliberate mispronunciations of her name, birtherism etc are subtle racist and sexist attacks (sometimes not so subtle and blatantly racist or sexist). A lot of the insults - nasty, abrasive, a viper, annoying, grating, aggressive etc are reminiscent of the attacks on Hillary Clinton. Rush Limbaugh and others offensively suggested that she didn't work for her jobs, that she slept her way to the top. Of course because no black woman could be qualified for those roles in their own right. www.whitehouse.gov/administration/vice-president-harris/ |

Part of the recent decline in stocks is because of the Federal Reserve increasing the interest rate, which is a necessary step to fight inflation. A lot of the changes over the last 2 years are cyclical. Markets go up and down and recover. The job market continues to show strength. Overall, markets are up from where they were in March 2020 and are close to the Jan 2021 levels. www.usbank.com/investing/financial-perspectives/market-news/is-a-market-correction-coming.htmlFrequent market corrections are a normal event.
Market volatility can be expected to persist given the uncertainty about the direction of inflation, the extent of Fed interest rate hikes, the pace of earnings growth and implications of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, among other issues. |

A lot of the changes over the last 2 years are cyclical. Markets go up and down and recover. The job market continues to show strength. Overall, markets are up from where they were in March 2020 and are close to the Jan 2021 levels. www.usbank.com/investing/financial-perspectives/market-news/is-a-market-correction-coming.htmlFrequent market corrections are a normal event.
Market volatility can be expected to persist given the uncertainty about the direction of inflation, the extent of Fed interest rate hikes, the pace of earnings growth and implications of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, among other issues.Exactly my response above. Not sure if folks understand this. It's called cyclical no matter who is in office. It's like the bell-shaped curve in many stats, with the average and the outliers. It's just a specific point in time of what's happening. |

Oh yeah, he's had some really bad gaffes before! He, like Trumps, makes me nervous. Less nervous than Trump, but still. I'd love Hillary to run and win this time. “Let me start off with two words…MADE IN AMERICA” . - FJB Not only is he predicting armageddon AND THEN RUNNING AWAY, but he can’t count past 2. Lauren Boebert and Dan Quayle can't count either. Are you going to criticize them? Dan Quayle - "One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared.'" |

I read that Boebert was mocking Biden's comment of I have two words: Made in America, which was 3... Boebert didn't clarify. |

It's called inflation and fluctuation of the stock market which will happen no matter who is in office. Not since the 80’s. That’s the last time inflation was this high. Do you like paying $5.00 - $7.00 a gallon for gas? I don’t. Retired financial writer here. Gas prices are just one factor in inflation. Biden couldn’t help the war in Ukraine, which contributed to higher gas prices, but abruptly reducing domestic oil and gas production is on him. A bigger problem is an administration dumping money into the economy indiscriminately. It overheats the economy resulting in inflation. I voted for Biden, but I don’t like how he’s throwing money around. It seems like he’s trying to help but it’s inflationary which ultimately harms the people who are most vulnerable. He has an anti-inflation initiative while pouring gas on the fire. A more measured approach could have accomplished what he was after without the economic repercussions, but the grand gesture wins more votes. Isn’t there anyone who is economically responsible but not beholden to the right? Until we find that unicorn, I’ll be right here in the middle. |

This is so much like some members in my family who want to blame Biden for all of the ills of the worlds and rising prices of everything. So when I tell them, you know, those SAME things are incredibly expensive over on this side of the world too.....
I just hear crickets.
So, if Biden is to blame for inflation, pray tell, WHO is to blame for the inflation happening in so many other countries right now???
I do believe we are still feeling the aftershocks of Covid and how it basically shut down the world.

I am referring to this administration. biden and harris’ words and actions make it easy to mock them. He is declining cognitively by the day. You obviously didn’t get the sarcasm in boeberts tweet. |
