Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

‘I would say they're too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we're making progress,’ the Vice President told Fox News

JD Vance admits the prices of groceries and housing are “too expensive” but once again has laid blame at the feet of the "disastrous Biden economy,” despite the Trump administration having taken the reins more than eight months ago.

“Housing is too expensive, groceries are too expensive. Now, I would say they're too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy, and we're making progress,” Vance said, speaking to Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle.

The vice president made the remarks Friday when discussing the struggling U.S. economy and its potential link to a surge in popularity for Democratic New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani.

The first year of the Biden presidency (2021) saw strong growth in real GDP, wages, employment, stock market returns, and household net worth, coupled with an increase in inflation, as the economy recovered from the pandemic recession of 2020.

Basically, the Biden administration economy was just along for the wild ride of post pandemic and Russian war nonsense, both the ups and downs.

Generally speaking I don't believe in the usual "the economy is whatever the president makes if it", though Trump's policies are unusually terrible economically, so I guess he's convinced me that presidents can be mostly responsible for economy, at least a bad one.

This Nazi government is going to spend a lot of money killing unarmed people in Venezuela, but The working people in america are homeless and starving. The average workers will be in jail if they forget to pay taxes spent in bombs and munition while the millionaire oligarchs Kissing trump's ass get billions in tax breaks.

How is this "bizarre"? It's totally on brand.

Fuckhead knows jack about economic cause and effect. All he knows is how to emulate his orange daddy's lying ways

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The most important part is that his voters knows diddly squat about economics so will swallow this hook and line

The only response to this bullshit is pointing out to the Davenport Diddler that they promised a fix day one. They said it would be easy.

They’d blame Biden for gravity existing.

They know that their base is gullible enough to lap this up. Give them slop and they will eat slop.

Everything good is the fault of the most recent president from your party, everything bad is the fault of the most recent president from the opposing party

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 5 points 3 days ago

To an outsider, yes that can be seen as bizarre. To someone who lives here, that is simply what they do.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Biden? Not Obama?
