Real GDP increased 2.9 percent in 2018 (from the 2017 annual level to the 2018 annual level), compared with an increase of 2.2 percent in 2017

Trump had 2.3%. Pathetic. He promised 6%

What ever happened to Trumpâs boast of 4%, 5% or even 6% growth?

Whatever happened to Trump’s boast that the U.S. economy would be able to grow not just at 3% but at “4%, 5% or even 6%” a year?

Yeah, that's awful, compared to Obama's 1.7%.

How's Biden doing so far?

Awesome job! Make the inflation just a little bit worse. 4 bucks for a bag of cheese isnt quite enough!

This does not cause inflation. No money will change hands.

 

[busybee01]

When these same people run up debt by taking out loans they can’t afford again do they get it erased again? When people don’t have to take any responsibility for the poor decisions they make the odds are they will continue to make them.

What we are talking about is fraud. Blame the victim for being swindled.

money doesnt have to change hands to increase demand

You know, just being even the least bit informed before opening your mouth would save you so much embarrassment.

Yet another ironic post from a resident moron. ^^^

Inflation is the situation of everything costing more. Things cost more when it takes more money to produce items or services such as the government paying people more money to stay home than work, or otherwise conditioning people so they don't want to work.

He's doing fine. Did you hear 70% of voters want abortion to remain legal?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

A larger number want to stop illegal immigration.

How many House seats are the Dems going to lose in November? 40? 50? More?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

If there is any truth to that how do pro-life Republicans keep getting elected in their states?

When you make a statement like that it tells me either you're a liar or the institution that created the poll is lying since this decision was not about making abortion illegal.

Nah that's totally your issue. And in red states down south. Already going to vote for Republicans down there.

This just happened Ray.

And perhaps those elections are rigged. Like your state Ohio. Was stolen in 2000 and 2004. For sure 2004. You remember Ken Blackwell (Uncle Tom) certified Ohio's electoral votes QUICKLY before Kerry could ask for a recount. And the law in Ohio is once the votes are certified, no recount can be made. Very clever.

And then get this shit!!!

President Trump created an “election integrity” commission to investigate voter fraud and voter suppression in the United States. Serving as the commission’s chair and vice chair are Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, respectively, with former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell serving as well.

Blackwell’s appointment is particularly frightening, as his tenure as Ohio Secretary of State was marked with several attempts at voter suppression.

GOPer Behind Ohio’s Botched 2004 Election Eyes Senate Run

Does Ken Blackwell, the man behind Ohio's 2004 election debacle, stand a chance?

www.motherjones.com

Every significant decision that Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell made regarding the 2004 presidential election benefited George W. Bush. Blackwell was honorary co-chair of Bush's 2004 Ohio campaign and served as an election expert in the Florida fiasco that ensued after the 2000 campaign, spinning the Bush campaign's case to the media.

Perhaps the most contentious of Blackwell's pro-Bush decisions was his directive to county boards of election concerning provisional ballots.


Oh you didn't know your own state has rigged elections Ray? No fucking surprise.

Here's some more dummy

Prior to the 2004 presidential election, Blackwell had announced he would enforce an Ohio State election law decreeing that any person who appeared at a polling place to vote but whose registration could not be confirmed would be given only a provisional ballot; if it were later determined that the person had attempted to vote in the wrong precinct, then their provisional ballot would not be counted. He directed poll workers to refuse to distribute provisional ballots unless they were satisfied as to the voter's residence. The Democratic party filed a lawsuit claiming that the policy was "intended to disenfranchise minority voters" and in violation of federal election law, specifically section 302 of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).[6]

On October 21, 2004, U.S. District Court Judge James G. Carr issued an order rejecting Blackwell's policy.[7] Blackwell said that he would go to jail rather than comply. Blackwell appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On October 26, 2004, the Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed in part and reversed in part.

The court agreed with the plaintiffs and the District Court that Blackwell's directive violated HAVA to the extent that it empowered poll workers to withhold a provisional ballot based on their "on-the-spot determination at the polling place." The court ruled that if a subsequent review concluded that the voter was not entitled to vote in that precinct, then the provisional ballot would not be counted. (pdf) (pdf) In accordance with the Court of Appeals ruling, provisional ballots cast in the wrong precincts were not counted in Ohio's 2004 elections.

Democratic members of the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary asked Blackwell to explain irregularities in the Ohio election in two letters, (pdf) (pdf) and requested his presence at a Public Congressional Hearing. (pdf) He did not attend the hearing, but responded to the first letter, refusing to comply with their requests for explanation, noting that he was already responding to requests from the Government Accountability Office and the Department of Justice. (pdf)

On December 27, 2004, Blackwell requested a court order to protect him from being interviewed in the Moss v. Bush case, a challenge of the presidential vote. He fought a subpoena, arguing that the litigation was frivolous.[8]

List of legal suits and rulings[edit]​

As Ohio Secretary of State, Blackwell has been a party to many election-related lawsuits.[9] Some of these include:

• Moss v. Bush; Dismissed at request of plaintiff after certification of electoral votes
• Beacon Journal Publishing Company, Inc. and Charlene Nevada v. J. Kenneth Blackwell and the Board of Elections; Ohio was ordered to permit reporters to enter polling places during the Fall 2004 election, notwithstanding ORS § 3501.35.(pdf)
• Lucas County Democratic Party et al. v. Blackwell[10]
• The Sandusky County Democratic Party v. J. Kenneth Blackwell; Blackwell was forced to pay nearly $65,000 in legal fees to the Sandusky County Democratic party.[11][12]
• The League of Women Voters of Ohio et al. v. Blackwell[13]
• Miller et al. v. Blackwell et al.[14]
• Spencer v. Blackwell[15]
• Summit County Democratic Central and Executive Committee et al. v. Blackwell et al.[16]
• American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. et al. v. Blackwell[17]
• State of Ohio Ex Rel. Matthew Wolf, et al. v. Blackwell[18]
• Sarah White v. J. Kenneth Blackwell and the Board of Elections of Lucas County, Ohio[19]
• Nader et al. v. Blackwell[20]
• Schering v. Blackwell[21]
• Ohio Democratic Party v. Blackwell; Upheld in federal appeals court in favor of Blackwell[21]
• Anita Rios et al. v. Blackwell[22]
• State ex. rel David Yost et al. v. National Voting Rights Institute et al.[22]

Release of Ohio Social Security numbers[edit]​

On March 1, 2006, Blackwell's office accidentally published a list of 1.2 million Social Security numbers of Ohio citizens on a website along with their business filings. A Federal class-action lawsuit was filed by Darrell Estep, who claimed that the release of the data had resulted in his Social Security number appearing three times on the public website.[23] The lawsuit was settled on March 28, 2006, after the numbers were removed from the website, a registration process was enacted to view the data, and Blackwell's office agreed to make monthly progress reports to the court.[24] The data was part of a centralized voter database, required by Federal law. At that time, Blackwell promised to retain only the last four digits of the Social Security number in the database to prevent future problems.[25]

But on April 26, 2006, Blackwell's office disclosed Ohio Social Security numbers again, mailing out computer disks containing the names, addresses, and Social Security numbers of 5.7 million registered voters in Ohio (80% of all registered voters in the state).[26] The list was released as a standard practice under the Freedom of Information Act and Help America Vote Act. Blackwell's office apologized, saying that the release of the Social Security numbers was accidental and it attempted to recall all 20 of the disks. At least one recipient of the disks refused to comply.

Jim Petro, then Republican Attorney General of Ohio, launched an investigation into the disclosure, citing a legal requirement to "investigate any state entity where there may be a risk of a loss of private data." Blackwell stated that he considered the issue to be closed, but Petro disagreed, saying that he would use "maximum due diligence" to ensure that the data was not copied before it was returned. Ohio law requires that individuals be notified if their Social Security numbers are compromised.[27][28]

Diebold controversies[edit]​

Ohio State Senator Jeff Jacobson asked Blackwell in July 2003 to disqualify Diebold Election Systems' bid to supply voting machines for the state, after security problems were discovered in its software.[29]

On April 4, 2006, the Columbus Dispatch reported that Blackwell "owned stock [83 shares, down from 178 shares purchased in January 2005] in Diebold, a voting-machine [and ATM] manufacturer, at the same time his office negotiated a "deal" with the company. After discovering the stock ownership, Blackwell promptly sold the shares at a loss.[30] He attributed the purchase to an unidentified financial manager at Credit Suisse First Boston who he said had, without his knowledge, violated his instructions to avoid potential conflict of interest.[31]

When Cuyahoga County's primary was held on May 2, 2006, officials ordered the hand-counting of more than 18,000 paper ballots after Diebold's new optical scan machines produced inconsistent tabulations. The results of several local races were in limbo for days and eventually the recount resulted in a reversal of the outcome of one race for state representative. Blackwell ordered an investigation by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections; Ohio Democrats demanded that Blackwell, due to his prior role in acquiring the Diebold equipment as well as his status as the Republican gubernatorial candidate in this election, recuse himself from the investigation due to conflicts of interest, but Blackwell did not do so.[32]

Hey, I'm using a leftist source, who also pointed to a more leftist source then them which is the New York Slimes. So there you go, two leftist sources that say there was no voter fraud or tampering with the Diebold machines. I don't know what more you can ask for. It's not like I'm posting anything from Fox or Breibart.

Yesterday I heard 24% of Americans are okay with trannies competing in women's sports. Who are these 24%? Fucking idiots!

Yes I love Biden and Democrats being in control. I can't image a Republican House, Senate, White House and Supreme Court. OMG.

Have you seen all the bad decisions the Supreme's are making? They're making radical right wingers so happy. That's okay. The pendulum swings back.
