Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

But that brings up a question I want to ask: how do you see 2024 playing out?

1) The economy is great. To deny that is just because of a hatred of Joe Biden. Still record low unemployment rate (number of consecutive months under 4%), much better post-pandemic recovery than any country in the world, inflation rate of just 3.4% which is way down from the peak and very close to historic norm of 3.28%. Jobs for anyone who wants one. No recession in sight. Wage increases have eclipsed inflation.

2) There is a current "low price war" going on intended to lure back customers. Walmart, Target, Giant Eagle and others have announced lower prices. This will continue to make the inflation rate drop.

3) Despite what the Trumpers hope, these felony convictions are bad for Trump. Yes it energizes his base, but so what? They were going to vote for him anyway. Independents are turned off by this, and some Republicans are too.

4) Trump will have his freedom removed. He already has. He can not own a gun. HILARIOUS! As a first offender of these admittedly low level felonies, he probably will not spend any time behind bars. I predict a short period of strict home confinement followed by parole and perhaps also community service...so his freedom is further removed. When on parole he will have to report to a parole officer and he will have to apply to be able to travel anywhere in the US...oh, and he doesn't have his passport anymore (according to Michael Cohen). He will also have to have someone watch him pee in a cup and wear an ankle monitor. HILARIOUS.

5) Biden is going to win big, assuming he is alive and upright. At a minimum, he will equal his EC victory from last time, and it is possible that he will win North Carolina too. I don't think the vote totals for either Trump or Biden will be as large as last time (though I could be wrong there and don't have a strong opinion on that), but I think the gap in popular vote will be larger. I predict Biden will have 10 million more votes than Trump.

6) In 2025 (which MIGHT spill over into 2026), Trump will be found guilty in his other three cases, and by the time he's a third time felon, he WILL have to go to prison. It could happen as early as his second conviction, but I think it's more likely by the third. The fourth conviction will just keep him in prison longer.

7) Joe Biden will not pardon Trump, but if Trump is still in prison when a Republican enters the White House again, that President will PROBABLY pardon Trump...but that's no guarantee. The MAAGA movement will finally die once Trump loses again, and the Republican Party will have lots of repairing to do, and part of that repairing will be to distance itself from the Trump era.

8) Trump lackeys Mark Meadows, Boris Epshteyn, Jenna Ellis, Christina Bobb, and more will spend time in prison.

One last HILARIOUS note: Talking head fools on conservative media predicted a big stock market drop the day after Trump was convicted. What happened? The Dow went up over 500 points for its biggest day of 2024. HILARIOUS and shows what cultists these Trumper losers are.

Now I know what it's like to step on a "bouncing Betty." Thanks, I guess...

1) You own stocks outside your 401(k). Your economy is much rosier than your average Americans. Arguing figures is pointless. Last Friday, I ate nothing for lunch to remind myself that some Americans can't afford food. Next Friday, you are welcome to join me.

2) When you frame lowered prices through the lens of "loss leaders," the lowered prices look different. Fast food chains don't have $1 menu's anymore, because they lost too much money on them.

3) You don't support Trump, so I'm skeptical of your assessment of how Trump supporters think and feel. Nobody knows how the verdict will effect the election. That includes you, and it includes me.

4) Wake me when they take away Trump's golf clubs. He's going to appeal the ruling, so wake me when that outcome is known, too.

5) We finally agree on something, as I also predict a Biden victory.

6) If Biden wins, who cares.

7) The only one even *suggesting* Biden would pardon Trump is you. And you are affirming an obvious truth that nobody in their right mind would argue about....

8) See #6 minus the first three words.

In conclusion, you got richer off the trial. Good for you! You are still welcome to fast for lunch on Friday, so you can (hopefully) develop some empathy for those who are not as well off as you. If you want, think of it as a gauntlet being thrown down. I'm curious to see if you can be pursuaded...
