He's the president of the United States and hardly a disgrace compared to DJT still telling the Big Lie.

That's fine but the majority didn't agree.

Several POTUS in my lifetime have failed the test in making intelligent decisions. One in fact was near to a lying SOB.

Bush manufactured a false-fictional-contrived war on Iraq claiming, "weapons of destruction". He was proven to knowingly have lied so he could ...? Upstage his dad who pulled out.

Bush likely,possibly maybe, won the election over Gore

"Dec. 12, 2018Bush declared electoral victor over Gore, Dec. 12, 2000. On this day in 2000, the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, blocked further recounts in the Florida …

..and I think a guy named Chad was hanged..

Obama blew it, "What he delivered was a form of intrusion, corruption, lies, arrogance, narcissism, socialism not seen in American government.

Trump blew it by his behaviour costing the Republicans a re election. (among other failings and impeachment)

Biden blows.

Carter too.

Clinton lied -impeached

Nixon Conspiracy led by  and his White House staff, Watergate.

Save us from the collection of stupid and lying 'leaders'.

For sure Save Us! And rule out Socialism!!!
Left Wing socialist democrats need to go! People who don't like America and want to abolish the constitution that protects our freedoms need to go. People who want to re-right our history need to go!

I'm amazed that people don't understand that not everyone votes and thinks alike.
Scandinavians are happy with Socialism.
Poor Americans are happy with Affordable Health Care and so are poor Canadians.
Sorry. I just do not believe in trickledown economy.

On that list the only criminal act was Nixon.
Impeaching Clinton was a joke.
Ford pardoned Nixon.

Socialism, it destroyed Venezuela

economics21.org/how-socialism-destroyed-venezuela

Part of what's said of the fall because of socialism -

bankrupt government enterprises.



Yet taking over the most important sectors of the economy was not enough for the socialist regime. In 2003, Chavez implemented a foreign currency control scheme where the government set an overvalued exchange rate between the Venezuelan currency and the U.S. dollar.



One goal of the scheme was to reduce inflation by overvaluing the currency, subsidizing imported products. But the currency control meant the regime had to ration available U.S. dollars to importers since, at an overvalued (cheap) exchange rate, there was more demand for U.S. dollars than supply. Naturally, a black market for foreign currency emerged and corrupt regime members and lucky individuals assigned cheap U.S. dollars obtained large profits. Even worse, the scheme actually increased inflation since overvaluing the currency reduced government oil revenues in Venezuelan currency, leading the regime to print money to cover the ensuing budget deficit.



The socialist regime also implemented price ceilings on hundreds of basic products such as beef, milk and toilet paper. At artificially low prices, more people were willing to buy these products but the few private factories left—not nationalized—could not profit at the government-capped price, so they reduced or halted their production. Instead of benefiting the poor, price ceilings predictably resulted in shortages that forced them to stand in lines for hours, while supermarket employees and the well-connected obtained the products they needed.



But perhaps the most harmful part of the Venezuelan socialist project is the part that the international media and leftist figures used to praise most frequently: welfare programs. The socialist regime created social “missions” aimed at tackling poverty, illiteracy, healthcare, and more. But despite enjoying higher government oil revenues due to a tenfold rise in oil prices from $10 a barrel in 1999 to more than $100 in 2008, the regime financed a growing deficit by printing more currency. Expansive welfare programs and massive public-works projects provided ever-growing opportunities for still greater corruption. Printing money to pay for endless state programs unsurprisingly led to high rates of inflation.

This is exactly what's happening in the US as we speak.

Re Venezuela.

Rich people hate socialism. Poor people love it.

So you are saying we should either accept an unacceptable way to live or else emigrate to Scandinavia?

I'm thinking of moving out West and waiting until it inevitably separates. They are not going to accept being treated so shabbily forever.

A band called Ten Years After sang it best in a song over 50 years ago:

"Tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more!"

The problem of socialism has always been that inhibits incentive. Why should anyone work any harder than the slowest of society? Why should anyone take a business risk?

Margaret Thatcher once said something to the effect that the problem with socialism is that it only works until you run out of other people's money.

I've had a few opportunities to start a business in my life. Businesses that would also have provided a few jobs for others. Each time I reflected on how much risk I would be taking and how much effort it would cost me. I'd look around and see how many other workers I considered little more than parasites were doing better than I was, despite producing more. "Screw it!" I said.  I looked out for myself and my family and that was enough.

Thatcher had it right.

The left often uses the U.S. health care as a bogeyman here but ours is far from perfect and will not allow private medicine, well, except in Quebec which has 9 private clinics in Trudeau's riding alone.

Biden is funny, he falls asleep at meetings, guess he needs an afternoon nap. He sure has screwed up the immigration file, what a mess.
