Today In Biden Land

[SlimTrae]

If a President Biden even thinks of flagging or calling out radio & television stations, no matter how sincere he may be- that is in fact supppression of free speech.

Lincold did it, he may as well, but we're treading into deep waters. As of lately there seems to be no free speech on possible solution(s), so as a result anyone who attempts to offer an alternative to big pharma will be labeled. ridiculed as fake. Now we got both parties crying fake. Is not! Is too!

I do like the fact that he's putting the 'question' of a mandate out in the open and admitting that in a round about way it's unclear if it's right-allowed or even legal, the right route. Thought he would announce a mandate for only Federal employees but he's not even going that route, little surprising. As for a Federal mandate on vaccinating citizens that's just not going to happen nor should it. Just that side of me that is against the Government mandating anything per the individual be it Obamas mandate penalty for not enrolling or dictating the affairs and policies of private business. If you listen the last couple of days there are increasing numbers of businesses small and massive that are taking their own steps to require proof of vaccination, or none, as well as new employee and new hire protocols. And that's exactly how it should be. And that's not with FDA approval which for some reason is nonexistent. You wanna see vaccination numbers soar it needs to be FDA approved for many.

Not to mention the previous Individual #1 who had lawyers send cease and desist letters and threatened a free press every other day and railed about the FFC pulling licenses and leveeing huge fines because they called the Administration out for it's incompetent response to Covid.

There is a solution. The vaccines. We know they work.

There aren't any other alternatives. There are a bunch of vitamin selling scammers trying to push bullshit alternatives and they're getting thousands of people killed. The government would be failing in its duty to protect the nation's health if it didn't try and do anything about it.

Once again, only one administration in recent history has threatened broadcasters and social media outlets for broadcasting/publishing stuff they didn't like and it's not the Biden administration.

I can't understand how this guy working for this organisation would publish such a thing. He must be close to retirement and have his pension locked in.

The six hundred or so billion a year is actually a trillion dollars a year according to the guy currently running the IRS and this doesn't count all the tax being (legally) avoided. The trillion a year is illegal evasion.



Worth remembering as Republican start screaming about Biden spending. Even if all of Biden's three point five trillion in new spending gets passed it's over ten years and is only about one percent of the projected three hundred trillion in GDP in that period. Trump rang up five trillion in four years and not a peep from the GOP. Also, big difference between massive tax cuts for the top one percent and trillions invested in American infrastructure:

Trump spending is all pure debt and Biden's spending will be partly paid for, would be fully paid for if the GOP would agree to tax increases on top earners.

This is protected speech and the Biden administration is doing nothing about it. It's also getting thousands of people killed and giving tens of thousands of people long term serious illnesses:

Finally this is not political but there's nowhere else to put it. It deserves some kind of award I think:

Good stuff in that short thread there...


I've been listening to krugman book at work(arguing with zombies) it seems to mostly be collections of his old blogs but I found one of the old articles amusing and slightly relevant to the Goings in this year..

The last paragraph of that post seems to work even 12 years later
......... Well I found it a bit funny anyway.

One good thing about Biden's subtle pot shots at "Former Guy" is that I personally find out about some of the hilarious things Former Guy did during his four years which I wasn't personally paying attention to.

I guess I wasn't paying too much attention to all this "Infrastructure Week" car-crash hoopla back when it was happening, although it was duly reported by different news outlets.

Infrastructure week.....




Although I'm not a Biden fan... I do find some pleasure in any and all digs he manages to throw Former Guy's way. It's the least he can do.

WASHINGTON — President Donald J. Trump pressed top Justice Department officials late last year to declare that the election was corrupt even though they had found no instances of widespread fraud, so he and his allies in Congress could use the assertion to try to overturn the results, according to new documents provided to lawmakers.
The demands were an extraordinary instance of a president interfering with an agency that is typically more independent from the White House to advance his personal agenda. They are also the latest example of Mr. Trump’s wide-ranging campaign during his final weeks in office to delegitimize the election results.
The exchange unfolded during a phone call on Dec. 27 in which Mr. Trump pressed the acting attorney general at the time, Jeffrey A. Rosen, and his deputy, Richard P. Donoghue, on voter fraud claims that the Justice Department had found no evidence for. Mr. Donoghue warned that the department had no power to change the outcome of the election. Mr. Trump replied that he did not expect that, according to notes Mr. Donoghue took memorializing the conversation.
“Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me” and to congressional allies, Mr. Donoghue wrote in summarizing Mr. Trump’s response.

That chart is per capita economic growth. Misleading for a ton of reasons. This is economic growth by president:




Much bigger version in the Bloomberg article.
