But not posting.  Considered a post on Dementia Joe's Hitleresque speech in Philly but given the overwhelmingly negative reaction almost across the board, and rightly so, there wasn't much to add.  Quite possibly the biggest political miscalculation on their part, which is saying a lot given the reaction to the student loan forgiveness inflation maker fiat decision.  Just when you think the senile old fool has done his worst to the country he one ups himself.

Thought maybe you and Archie were off having a drink together!

Archie had a few drive bys and is happy that gas is only TWICE as high as it was two years ago!  He gives Biden credit for that

Heh.....me and Archie having a drink together is one of those things that falls into the category of not gonna happen.  I am not surprised that he is that silly.  I would bet anything that he has posted in the past that DJ wasn't responsible for the high gas prices but today wants to give him credit for them dropping to double what they were when he took office.  That kind of intellectual vacuousness is typical.  I do agree with him though that DJ needs partial credit. He has moved us from a recovery to a recession which is the main driver for lower gas prices due to lower demand.  Under Trump we had a recovery, low gas prices, low interest rates, low inflation and under the senile old fool we have the exact opposite.  There is no fixing the gross stupidity of leftists.

Not surprised.  Anyone on a fixed income with significantly lower 401k/IRA balances is feeling the pinch these days.  Shocking to compare my investment value today versus before January 2021 when DJ took office.  And I think it's going to get a lot worse before it gets really, really bad.

Well there has obviously been some things coming out of this white house and I wondered why no reaction from you and GF and arch. No one and I mean no one could react to that display without concern even GF and arch if they are intellectually honest.

I've been here.  I don't feel compelled to comment on every post and I have several posters blocked so I don't have to read their trivial nonesense.

With Goofy there is some hope...not so with Archie.  He is a true believer.  If you look at the polls the speech, which I believe was intended to take the public's attention away from the disastrous consequences of the DJ admin and their plethora of failures, pretty much everyone with half a brain found it objectionable.  Only left wing nuts and the media applauded it.....everyone else was appalled at the rhetoric, the imagry, the use of Marines, the blood red lighting, the shaking of fists and so on as Hitleresque.  If you like comedy, look up JP Sears on yuotube and his take on the speech.  It pretty much hits the nail on the head.
