All of the good economy pre-COVID was Obama. All of the good economy post-COVID will be Biden. At least you are giving the COVID months to Trump. That is kind.

I'm not sure what your end-game is, but you're doing a stellar job with your lack of reading comprehension. Maybe it's on purpose? Unsure...

I literally said... twice... "Trump built his economy, which used the foundation of Obama's"

I don't think that the current economy, on this date of November 6, 2020 is Trump's economy, I'm trying to give him some credit by saying we are where we are because of covid.

If Biden was elected president on January 1, 2020 then yes, he would be inheriting Trump's economy.

Your attempt at playing the "gotcha" game is tiring. Try something else please.

I initially brought it up when responding to the idea that Trump would concede if there was some sort of agreement that both sides would agree to change the voting process.

I stated that Trump had no leverage in the matter.

Parties have no control over the states either.

So that leaves us with...

Must be a worldwide problem of populations not caring about their fellow citizens then because the rise in cases is not just limited to our country.

Im not really all that affected by mask mandates because I don't have a job, lol...but if you saw my face, you'd realize why I'd have absolutely no issue with masks being the norm.

I have probably the ugliest face you have ever seen. If everyone is wearing a mask, I get to.

Eight years ago though...I would've hated it. Haha.

I would guess it's close to the same thing as guessing which party the protesters and rioters belong to that you played a few times in the last couple of days

Thanks for reminding me. I'm still waiting for the list of participants with their political affiliation...

Sorry for wanting data rather than trying to fit a narrative. Sounds like the same kind of desire expected from a certain Russia investigation?

[discostu]

The Trump presidency started with "alternative facts" and it's ending with this lunacy.

He cares about winning, not the office and not his legacy. Winning and appearing to be right at all costs.

It's not surprising, but still stunning to see these bookends.

[Fratboy]

Newt Gingrich on Faux News, sullying the election results.
Talking circles trying to prove election fraud... Saying the latest votes shouldn't be counted.
This is some sorry stuff right here... Truly Sad

Nonsensical.
Edit to add, so much so I feel dumber for even addressing it. Hence, why I hadn't up until now.

Gotcha!

"Riding the coattails" is not the same as "using the foundation". You don't like the gotcha game, because I gotcha.

My entire point was that the game is not fair across the board. If one president gets judged on the previous administrations economy then do it across the board.

You will never hear Democrats saying that Trump had a great economy. His good run was due to Obama. Fair enough, but I will go ahead and predict the future. If/when Biden has a great economy it will not be because of Trump. The media/left will never in a million years give him that. Trump could have talked China into paying off our entire national debt, and the left would say that Obama laid the foundation for those talks before he left office.

This is true. It's funny too, in a sad way.

But it also works both ways. You never hear republicans saying Obama created a strongly upward trend.

Obama could have talked China into paying off our entire national debt and the right would say that he sold our soul to the devil. And Trump would take credit anyway, even though he wasn't even involved.

lol, yup you got me! I'd pat you on the back if I could and provide you with a gold star to stick on your refrigerator. I thought I could sneak that by you, but man... you are on your game today! You certainly showed everyone how well you play the "let's make sure the exact same words are stated, and if they are not the person is WRONG! - even though they imply the same message" game! Really, bravo to you. All the internet points belong to you.

Please set a reminder to check back with us in the future when your prediction proves to be true or false.

I truly would love to, I would.

But I don't generally make claims when I have zero knowledge of what the answer might be.

Q has seeped into mainstream and it is scary as hell.

People posting in here have parroted conspiracy theories that started and are held tightly by Q followers.

i'll readily acknowledge that probably 95% of the Qanonn people are on the right. Will you acknowledge that probably 95% of the rioters are on the left?

Nothing more than a foreign intelligence agency disinformation campaign, to sow division in our democracy..

I'll take a crack at that.

0.001% conservative
3% liberal
96.999% opportunist moron that doesn't give two craps about anything unless it equals free TVs.

Obviously, I have no evidence. Just a guess.

Agree 100%. Which goes back to my original point. Both sides are blinded by their own agendas and hatred towards the other side.
