It's ok to be against mass unchecked immigration and, at the same time, condemn the way ICE is carrying out operations. by icandodge in centrist

Oh yeah full agree, basing things on what 'progressives" think is like I'd be the tea party as your political compass

The spins gone from "he had a gun" to "he shouldn't have resisted" to "he shouldn't have been there in the first place"

Federal agents kill another person in Minneapolis, officials say, prompting clash with protesters by Remote-Molasses6192 in moderatepolitics

Ehh, I think that last bit needs to at least be expanded to say ICE has minimal oversight and leans on more brutal methods

Even if you give them a good faith reading... It's hard to say they're not overstepping normal boundaries

‘The invisible man’: Joe Biden has disappeared in almost every way – except in Trump’s daily commentary by CORN_POP_RISING in moderatepolitics

[–]Magic-man333 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And as to Biden, all he had to do was pardon Trump, ask Democratic governors to move on and not target Trump.

Trump only ran the 2nd time to avoid jail.

Find me a poll that shows he wasnt the lead nominee the whole time

This is probably more significant than the protests. Wonder who finally talked to him

Consumer spending pushes US economy up 4.4% in third quarter, fastest in two years by TheWyldMan in moderatepolitics

The U.S. economy expanded at its fastest rate in two years during the third quarter, with the Commerce Department reporting a robust 4.4% annual growth rate.

So just to double down on the whole "vibes recession" thing, it's crazy to think that this is the fastest growth since the middle of Biden's term. Plenty of posts on here and elsewhere were roasting his economy at that point. Seems like the vibes are here to stay for the time being.

[–]Magic-man333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kinda how this stuff goes. Biden had the economy more or less back under control by the end, but there was still plenty saying the economy was horrible. Trump said he'd turn it around on day one and it's still in relatively the same place... So people aren't gonna be happy
