What went wrong? In a word: Inflation. … “When Biden took office, inflation was at 1.4% and gas was $2.39/gal. Today, inflation is at 6.4% and gas is $3.47/gal.”
You folks who voted for Biden? Thanks for crapping in the sandbox we ALL have to live in. Waaay to go… <shakes head and rolls eyes>
I’m an optimistic guy. But I’m also a realist, and have seen Lefty moral turds get high elected office or fame and be “untouchable” my whole life.
So while I think it is quite clear that Hunter Biden is a criminal and that his father was intimately involved in some extremely scummy crap, I have always figured that they were “nobility” and that they would never actually answer to justice. I still think that…
So don’t tell me Hunter and his dad are moral scabs. Yeah, I already know that. Let’s see them actually face justice. As the old saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting…
See, I am a historical empiricist. I want the things that, in the past, have been shown to work well.
Leftists are rationalists, who are convinced by a “beautiful” theory and thus ignore the lessons of history. But they really are not strongly rooted in the observable data.
am amazed at the 180° turn from the Left on the idea that COVID came from a Chinese lab. Last year, for example, you were called a racist (or worse) if you suggested it. “Don’t say Wu-flu!”
But now it is common knowledge. Even the government and the CDC now admits it.
And I have not heard a single admission on that. Not a single one. They were wrong, and they should admit it. AND, if they were wrong about this, what else might they be wrong about?
BUT, they can’t forever ignore the facts, and one naturally wonders about the motives behind their behavior. Just WHY were they so wrong? Maybe they are not all that reliable or knowledgeable after all. And maybe they don’t have our best interests at heart, anyway. Maybe they were just bleating Lefty sheep who were beholden to a particular ideology. And THAT is far too psychologically threatening to their puffed-up sense of self!
But see, when a person admits that they were wrong and says how they will change to make it less likely that they will be duped again, it gives some confidence. But when they just whistle past the graveyard, it gives one very real doubts about how trustworthy they actually are!
Now here’s a thought experiment: How will folks react next time the government tells us there is a pandemic? Isn’t there some old story about a boy who cries, “WOLF!”?
