Let's Look at the Numbers
Vanity | Jan. 20, 2021 | Self

Posted on 01/20/2021 10:30:33 PM PST by Othniel

As we gaze in horror at what is before us with the Biden administration, there is, I hope, some encouragement in the way of deja vu. Since Biden is essentially Obama 2.0, we can, and will, expect him to operate in a similar fashion as President Trump's predecessor. The thing we need to remember is that there is quantifiable evidence about the success of Obama's policies, just as there are facts, figures, and statistics about how President Trump's policies fared.

For instance, should President Sock Puppet decide to raise taxes as Obama did, we can point to the detrimental effect it had on the economy. We can also point to how the economy bounced back when President Trump eased those taxes. It's all in the numbers. If, every time something like that happened, we were to point out "Obama tried this, and it didn't work.", maybe it would reinforce the kind of misgivings normal people are having about him. We could even use the motto "Trump did it better," with his picture on billboards or something. Memes, maybe.

Face it: it's bad. But we are smarter, more articulate, and certainly much more sarcastic than most of the creatures who inhabit DC. We're funnier, we know far more history, and we know what buttons to push to get a response. It's far from over.

China is going to put on it’s high heel, and walk all over us.

These two at the top wouldn’t have a serious clue what to do.

I don’t even care if they have advisors. We know what
advisors they have, and what they think of them.

We’re exposed.

Perhaps Obama stole his election but Xiden stole his , got called out , and got away with it anyways. Big difference. It means Traitor Joe has to seize all the levers of power he can and never let go or else pay for the consequences of the crimes. Unless America can get Article V invoked in two years it’s going to get much worse than the first OBAMANATION.

It’s Kamala Harris who will supply the most Hurt upon this country. Old Joe won’t be POTUS for long, and Donald Trump will get the blame for everything that will go wrong.

Oh, and don't forget the King's edict; $15 an hour wage minimum he just did. That will also leave a mark.

IMHO, Biden is going to be much worse than Obama in that 1) What he does will have a cumulative effect and 2) He has no restraints right now with a Leftist congress.

Yes, they will try to blame Trump.

But thinking people will see through all this:

Trump gave us the head's-up about these Fakers! :)

‘China is going to put on it’s high heel, and walk all over us.’

China is going to...? what do you think happened ten months ago when the federal and states governments lost their collective minds and put wide swaths of the middle class out of business and forced us into wearing submissive little masks because some viral outbreak, weaker than numerous others that have occurred throughout history, was introduced by the Chinese...? we’ve already been walked over, with Trump as president, and will continue being trampled under the Biden administration, with him urging us to smile as we take it it up the bum...

They could care less about hurting the economy, if fact, the more damage they cause, the better their master like it.

You can score lots of rhetorical points which will be shed like water off a duck’s back.

They are in office until they retire, die, or some other more vicious politician replaces them; voting is now the province of leftist-run computers and machines, not citizens.

Democrats don’t care about numbers. Haven’t you noticed? People who care about numbers would try to balance the budget. Democrats never intend to balance any budget, just spend baby spend.

This is a really a stupid Pollyanna-ish post. Were f’d unless we get a new party.

“we know what buttons to push to get a response.”

Except we stick to pushing buttons, which is cute and honorable. But they have no problem resorting to pure evil, threats, and probably murder. We’re pikers. Do you really think PDJT and his family went silent the last week without treats being involved?

“It’s far from over.”

It’s over.

Yep quit thinking based on the Old Republic. We’ll have a New Republic but it will take awhile for the Old one to extinguish itself.

"For instance, should President Sock Puppet decide to raise taxes as Obama did, we can point to the detrimental effect it had on the economy. We can also point to how the economy bounced back when President Trump eased those taxes. It's all in the numbers."

We can point to those things until our pointer fingers fall off; it is wasted motion. There is no need to point to those things for people with any degree of sentience as they are clearly obvious. For the brain-dead zombies, the media will point to Trump's successes and explain them as the latent results of the brilliant policies implemented under Obama. And that lie will be told over, and over, and over again. Similarly, when the negative consequences of Biden policies start inflicting pain, they will be explained away as the latent effects of President Trump's actions.

Certainly, the data is in all the numbers. The problem is the people who fail to see it are people for whom data, numbers and facts mean absolutely nothing. These are people whose entire guiding philosophical, metaphysical principle for the past four years has been nothing more abstract, nuanced or complicated than, "Orange man bad."

It has been their profession of faith.

“Xiden stole his”

That’s giving Biden too much credit. It was stolen by numerous unidentified people.

The numbers begin today. You think once the economy opens and the numbers raise, the media is going to compare pre covid? Heck no they’ll compare today and the numbers will improve. The media will say it’s a miracle. Joe Biden is the messiah.

No president has cared about the deficit at all.
