Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

Garland’s “highly professional” leaking like a sieve.

DOJ

I thought the Jan. 6 Congressional Hearings on the "Insurrection" was going to send Trump to prison for the rest of his life. You Dems were adamant about that. Well, here are the upcoming scheduled meetings ... (Of course there are no meetings scheduled. That died a slow death)...

The production was better than the Trump - Russia collusion investigation. Two and a half years and millions of tax payer dollars ending in Robert Mueller stammering and stuttering about nothing.

Even Nancy Pelosi said the President have the authority to forgive student loan debt. So Joe is knowingly attempting to commit another crime?

doesn’t have the authority

Yep.

They tell us protesters armed with flags nearly overthrew the govt but that guns are useless against the govt.

Are you Biden supporters still on here trying to argue? We’re done with arguments. Just quietly voting now. Oh, and guarding the ballot boxes.

Huh?

The Oligarchs are selecting the next president right now

That's the statistic for men only. If you scroll up to Table 1 which represents "Hourly wages of all workers, by wage percentile, selected years, 2000–2019," you will find that the 95/10 percentile ratio increased in 2019.

Also, the only reason there was even a difference in the men appears to be widespread minimum wage increases in 2019. Here's quote from the article:
"When we compare 10th-percentile wage growth among states that are grouped by whether they had any minimum wage increase or not, the comparison yields highly suggestive results. As shown in Figure J, when looking at 10th-percentile wages, growth in states without minimum wage increases was much slower (0.9%) than in states with any kind of minimum wage increase (4.1%)."

So not only are you just incorrect, the progress that was made wasn't from trickle down milton friedman psuedo-economics that rich people invented so they can keep benefitting from you. It was just minimum wage increases, the thing the left has been pushing for since forever.

Also, the article has lots of other interesting graphs we could go into.

"Figure F illustrates the trends in wages for selected deciles (and the 95th percentile), showing the cumulative percent change in real hourly wages from 2000 to 2019. The overall story of inequality is clear. The lines demonstrate that those with the highest wages have had the fastest wage growth in recent years. From 2000 to 2019, the 95th-percentile wage grew nearly four times as fast as wages at the median (30.7% vs. 8.0%). By 2019, the 95/10 ratio had grown to 6.7 from 6.0 in 2007 and 5.6 in 2000 (see Table 1). This means that on an hourly basis the 95th-percentile wage earner was paid 6.7 times what the 10th-percentile wage earner was paid ($67.14 per hour vs. $10.07 per hour). Similar trends are found in the 95/50 wage ratio, with those at the top pulling away from those in the middle. In 2019, the 95th-percentile wage earner was paid 3.5 times as much as the median worker ($67.14 vs. $19.33), compared with 3.0 times as much in 2007 and 2.9 times as much in 2000."

I don't think the solution is tax cuts for rich people. If you do, that's fine, you can keep voting red. I don't think blue team is helping that much either but at least they aren't giving tax cuts to the top 1% and pretending it's helping everyone.

How long will you continue to vote for one of the two dominant parties and actually think it makes a difference?

you are like a deflection textbook.

How about addressing the fact that the leader of your party has willingly threatened national security and obstructed law enforcement when it tried to quietly end the crisis.

Maybe you want to address that?

trump stuffed top secret documents into his desk drawers. they weren't even locked in an (insecure) room. They were stuffed in drawers in his office.

The GOP is the most dangerous organization on the planet.

You 'conservatives' should have listened. But nah more important to make the libs cry and !Benghazi!

Now the Dems have the House, Senate and WH and the leader of your political party will likely be indicted and tried for multiple serious crimes.

Sandy Berger stuffed top secret documents down his pants. Were you whining and bellyaching about that? The Democrat party is the most dangerous organization on the planet. Bill clinton sold missile secrets to the Chinese. The Democrat party is the most dangerous organization on the planet.

Have you ever read the story about the boy who cried wolf time and time and time again? People quit believing him. Your assertions are falling on deaf ears. Please stop.

From a retired Naval Officer, about the stuff Trump endangered national security with:

I remember the feeling of having a TS/SCI brief in my hands. The first few times, I was nervous. If I f$%ked up, even accidentally, I would go to jail. My combat recon aircrew handled this kind of material almost every day on our deployments. Every time we

used one of these documents in a briefing or planning session, the room got quiet. There was a palpable seriousness in the air, bordering on solemnity. Some of us understood what had gone into generating this information - the resources, the risks. We knew that

our efforts would soon inform reports with these same covers, and we trusted that the people holding them would feel their weight. To see them treated like this makes my stomach turn. It is an affront to every American in uniform, every covert operative, every

member of the State Department. And it should be an affront to every American who cares about our national security, and the men and women who put their lives at risk to defend it. But this isn't just an affront....
It's a crime.

A "quiet" raid on Trump's private home splashed all over the airwaves, internet, and newspaper.

Harambe level delusion

A small difference is still a difference.
