 |   okay clown. Did anyone ever claim that? But you're the one trying to make a comparison between classless Republicans giving the president the finger and something the president said. I think this is why most people laugh at you here and that you have no friends.

 |  you got all bothered that someone gave biden the finger. And that they were disrespectful to the first lady ( which i agree is wrong).  But you’d never point that out when it comes from your side. 
 
the left attacked melania trump for wearing heels to a hurricane zone and gave jill a free pass for doing the same exact thing last week.
 
Your outrage is entirely politically selective. Which means it’s fake. You’re entitled to call me a clown for pointing that out. |

				 | Jim doesn’t have facts to back him up, just right wing media.
 How about a new idea, if you mention 40-year inflation is high... then you must also mention that  corporate profits are at 50-year high.
 
 Coal, oil and natural gas companies received $5.9 trillion in subsidies in 2020. That’s roughly $11 million every minute.
 
 Joe Biden: "I propose $32 billion in police funding and $30 billion over the next decade to expand law enforcement and crime prevention."
 
 Republicans: "Democrats are soft on crime and are trying to defund the police."
 
 Republicans claim Biden is soft on crime but they do nothing about gun control. I’d say that’s about as soft in crime as you can get.

				 | Here’s some more Truths for are non believers 
 But both reports show that the country continues to experience historically low levels of violence. The murder rate per capita in 2021 (about 6.5 per 100,000) remains well below the modern high of 1980 (about 10.2 per 100,000). And reported victimization in the NCVS is sharply down over the past decade or more. In fact, the violent victimization rate is actually down about half since 2000. It’s a mere quarter of the rate in 1993, the all-time high in the survey.
 
 Yep Let’s see The messages from republicans have been lies
 
 Trump won
 
 Jan6th was legitimate protest
 
 Tommy’s comments were not. racist
 
 Crimes out of control
 
 Biden is a fear monger (for telling the truth) about nukes
 
 Changing voter laws was because of election integrity!  But only republicans stole voting data
 
 Biden responsible for gas prices
 
 And Walkers a good candidate with no issues
 
 I could go on but there only so much Truth . Some people can take at a time

 |  Did ANYONE claim that murder is at an all time high?
 
No.
 
So who are you responding to?
 
What I said, is that violent crime is up SINCE BIDEN AND TEH DEMOCRATS TOOK POWER IN 2021.
 
Biden isn't judged on changes between 1980 and today.  He's judged on what has changed since he took over.  
 
How about the stock market?  Yes, you might say it's higher today than itr was in October 1929 after the big crash, but that's not what people (except you) are going to judge Biden on.  The market is down since he took over.
 
Crime up, inflation up, stock market down, gas prices up, border an absolute hot mess.  Those are losing issues for Biden.
 
Abortion, jobs, and Trump are winning issues for Biden.
 
In a few weeks, we get to see what Americans care more about.
 
Murder is lower than it was in 1980.  My God Wayne, you are desperate.  There's nothing you won't say.  Nothing.  You don't need to be desperate, there's not going to be a "red wave" in November, at best the GOP will control the house by a few seats and it's be a miracle if they took the senate.  The pendulum will move slightly, probably very slightly to the right.  You don't need to go berserk over that prospect, do you?
 
"Murder was higher in 1980", as a rebuttal that crime is up under Bidens watch.  Un-believable. |

 "U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) is the latest Democrat to back out of a public debate with a Republican challenger. The NH Journal reports that the senator’s campaign contacted the Nashua Chamber of Commerce, which was to have hosted the debate, and announced that Hassan would pull out of the event if she would be required to appear on stage alongside retired Brig. Gen. Don Bolduc. According to Chamber President Wendy Hunt, both campaigns had previously agreed to participate in this standard debate format.
 
 Secretary of State Katie Hobbs justifies her refusal to face off with Republican nominee Kari Lake with this word salad: “Unfortunately, debating a conspiracy theorist like Kari Lake — whose entire campaign platform is to cause enormous chaos and make Arizona the subject of national ridicule — would only lead to constant interruptions, pointless distractions, and childish name-calling.” Lake is a former television journalist who excels in the cut and thrust of political combat. This is, of course, the actual reason Hobbs won’t face her.
 
 Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro is running against GOP State Sen. Doug Mastriano, who has challenged the former to debate him in a venue where the media can’t run interference (à la Candy Crowley). Mastriano has instead proposed an arrangement whereby he and Shapiro would pick moderators of their own choice and field questions from both during an October debate. Shapiro refuses to consider any such arrangement, and dismisses any suggestion that the legacy media is biased.
 
 John Fetterman used every dodge in the book to avoid debating his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz. Fetterman finally caved under public pressure and will allegedly debate Dr. Oz once on October 25. Likewise, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) stalled as long as possible before agreeing to a single debate with GOP challenger Tiffany Smiley. Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) temporized as long as he could before finally accepting a single debate proposed by Republican challenger Herschel Walker on October 14."

				 | Pete, got any data that Ryan trounced JD Vance?  or is that yet a other example 
of you fabricating things again?
 
Yesterday’s USA today poll has Vance with a tiny lead
 
Vance clobbered ryan by pointing out Ryan’s lies about Vances abortion position, and talking about a rape of a ten year old committed by an illegal immigrant.  Watch that video, i thought Ryan was going to start crying.
 
Here’s actual data on that race, not just me fabricating what i want facts to be…you don’t like the facts, so you invent your own.  
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...race-poll/amp/ 
Walker not showing up is bad. Abbott doesn’t need to debate that clown ORoarke. that race is over.
 
I look forward to your data that ryan trounced vance. |

				 | Well boys just think
 A vote for a Republican in any House race on Nov 8 is a vote for Marjorie Taylor Greene on the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees and for Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
 
 It’s also a vote to make abortion illegal nationwide even in cases of rape or incest.

 FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — Democrats elected their political future in 2018. Now, that bench of potential statewideleaders could get wiped out.

 |  Then by that logic, a vote for any democrat is a vote for Chuck Schumer as senate majority leader, who explicitly threatened Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch by name on national TV.  Also a vote for AOC who obviously lied about her abuela's plight in Puerto Rico, a vote for Eric Swalwell who slept with a Chinese spy, a vote for Hank Johnson who said he's afraid Guam is going to tip over, a vote for Ihan Omar who despises Jews, and a vote for Pelosi as speaker who said we need to pass Obamacare and THEN we can see what's in it.  
 
"It’s also a vote to make abortion illegal nationwide even in cases of rape or incest."
 
Funny, that's what Ryan said about JD Vance, who then called out Ryan's lie and said he supports common sense exceptions like rape.  
 
You got nothin.  And you're getting desperate...I still think democrats hold the senate, I don't think they keep the house.  And I can't find polling on what's going to happen at the state level, not that there's any mystery of what's going to happen in my state, The People's Republic Of Connecticut. |

				 | Republican plan if they take over the house 
 When] Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was asked in January what Republicans would do if they regained the majority, he dodged: “That is a very good question,” he said, “and I’ll let you know when we take it back.”
 
 Their plan had been leaking slowly
 
 And it’s
 
 Republicans’ secret economic agenda? Cause A global financial
 crisis.
 
 none of them have clarified their strategy for fighting inflation, unless you count shouting “SOCIALISM!” and “KEYSTONE!” over and over. But they have given a peek at other ideas
 
 What ideas you ask
 
 make the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent, as well as to extend or expand several other corporate tax breaks.  See how well that works for the English
 
 This is the plan hold the debt ceiling hostage . usually framing their hostage-taking as a commitment to fiscal restraint.  Ya right
 
 But the debt ceiling has nothing to do with new spending;
 
 But the base has no clue how it works they somehow think that’s owning the libs
