Those hoping and praying for recession for political purposes
Let's try and gain some perspective here. In 2021 the quarterly GDP rates were 6.3%, 6.7%, 2.3% and 6.9%. So far in 2022 the economy has retracted -1.6%. So based on what we went through in 2019 & 2020 if we retract just a little bit after substantial growth do we really need to chicken little "the sky is falling"?

No doubt greedy Republican scum are causing recession and high gas prices.
Thank God for Joe Biden and the Democrats.
I'd feel a whole lot better if you told me it would be transitory.

Questi - this may be a losing battle - it has become a sides issue and here's an example of that.
You have the TNIRISH, Eli's, Frankx, Baron's, Musky's, ragingdads, all willing to believe the spin and then pass it on as gospel.
How often do you read the polar opposite of facts and issues being repeated here, dubbed "real news"?
Here's Kinzinger having to live the Republican life knowing this is the path R's are on.
What spin am I reading? I said my own eyes
tell me we are in a recession. Walmart confirmed it.
Can you give us an update on the Boebert case?

She's a nutjob - how about your update on Hunter Biden?

No no your abortion lies you posted on here. Nothing will be done on Hunter until the GOP takes the
House back.
Do you have eyes? People are not working, Walmart slashed earnings forecasts...

How about we use this recession as another "teaching moment?"
Too much government created money in the system and a deliberate policy of increasing energy costs means what happens?
It's sad that we failed to learn this in the 1970s after LBJ splurged on Viet Nam and his Great Socierty fiasco,
For long time our eonomists hired as advisers refused to admit inflation is a monetary phenomenon.

Liberalism Rule #1. Remember when you cheered for COVID to hurt Trump? We aren’t insane like you.

Remember the Bob Woodward tapes?...Trump knew in Jan. 2020 how devastating COVID could be....
he knew the truth all along...don't deny it...so how do you explain all that transpired from his mouth after that?...the MALIGNANT narcissist caused hundreds of thousands of Americans to die from the disease by misinforming them instead of telling them the truth...all so that, in his twisted psyche, he wouldn't have a contracted economy leading up to the election.
You have your own twisted psyche, Baron, that filters out any objective truths...even when they're staring you in the face...like the Woodward tapes.
Then why did St. Fauci on March 6, 2020, say
That we should continue on with our normal activities?
I also have another comment about the vaccines. It appears we were all duped. You continue to say that they work. Fine. Let me ask you this. Do you really think our experts are going to admit they don't work and are in fact harmful if that is really the case? Of course not.
Mark, the DATA from each and every Health System in the country would need to be corrupted for your
view to be the correct one...it's not...give it up.

Old Joe with a swing and a miss
Can't take the heat, can you?...Donald Trump is responsible for the deaths of many, many Americans..

Trump isn’t president anymore. Stay away from the White House. It’s a super spreader.

Not very many vaccinated people in hospitals or ICUs...or worse...those domains are for the Unvaxed.

But how's he doing on Cancer. He was going after that first.

To be fair...he was also going to cure Cancer...and now apparently has it...
(no message)
To be fair, Biden is striving to fund new efforts to fight cancer...are you opposed to that?...if so
To be fair, you now wish to paint me as pro-cancer? I was referring to another stupid Biden moment
..where he overreached in order to self-aggrandize.
He said if we elect him "we're going to cure cancer".
(In reality, I wasn't addressing the fight against cancer at all, which you knew. I was addressing dopey things that Biden just says because he feels he can.)
This tweet captures it best, re Baron, et al

Last I checked.... there have been more covid deaths under Biden's watch.
(no message)
Yes...and the vast majority of them have been UNVACCINATED...thanks to DJT not using his voice to
constantly, and unequivocally, advocate for the use of vaccines...for his part, Biden has done all that anyone could ask for when it comes to promoting vaccinations...AND...making sure they were available to all...even in the most remote parts of the country...and boosters as well.
Have some integrity...acknowledge Trump's utter failure...frankly, I'm hoping someone initiates a class action suit against Trump for purposely misleading the public and thereby putting them in harms way...with mortal results.
The same way Joe and Kamala did?
You can spin and justify all you'd like but the bottom line is they cast just as much doubt on the vaccine as the evil orange. All for political purposes.
Anyway. This is getting away from Barons point. People rooting for a recession are doing exactly what dems did rooting for Covid against Trump. Lack of self awareness prevents you from seeing this.
Have you found a proper church yet? Please read your Bible and turn from your sin.
Mic drop on your last line! There are a few others it also attributes to.

Trump was justifiably criticized for downplaying the #1 challenge of his presidency.
Many of his cult followers on this Board bought (and still buy) his falsehoods.
The pandemic should have united the nation. Trump used it as a culture wedge.
Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic exposed his unfitness for office. Hence, an all time record -- 81 million Americans -- voted his ass out of office.
Link: Raise your hand if you are a moron who voted for Trump.
While I think this is true, I also think it's not what Dr. VonZemo is describing.
Dems secretly, and some times not so secretly, greeted the onset of Covid as a potential game changer in the nonstop war on the previous administration.
Now not all democrats felt this way surely. But I'm confident a fair number were thrilled.
Add me to that list. COVID had some silver linings:
More downtime to spend with family (especially for a guy who is on the plow 7 days/week)
Rest
Created some efficiencies in life/work
Exposed Trump and thereby saved America from itself ..... at least until 2024.
Agree. I loved that I was always able to get my kids from school.
At least when they went back with masks. And most evenings we had family dinners together. Although football practice was the great interrupter.
Could have done without all the dead people. Even if that meant the defeat of a political opponent.
Biden/Harris couldn't have managed Operation Warp Speed-look how they did w/ Afghanistan and Border.
Thank goodness we had a president who could manage it or we would all be in Shut Down without a vaccine to this very day.
Ineptitude is not a good quality.
More Liberalism Rule #1 with your fingerpointing about dividing the nation. Whatever Trump said, you immediately went to the opposite side.
Believe managing the Hunter Biden mess is referred to as Operation Warped Seed by the current WH.
