US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24 *AND* Beyond

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Funny how the right wingers here look at the chart and only see the bad trump numbers (yes, pandemic induced) - he was doing ok riding on Obama's economy for the most part. Meanwhile, just ignore the boom in jobs under Biden. :D

How many of those were public sector jobs vs private?

Trudeau’s job creation numbers are astounding, but they are primarily non-revenue generating government positions funded by tax dollars.
Apparently 25%. So, if you discount that it'd still be just over the 400 thousand mark, just counting the jobs in the private sector.

So still way better than under any other of the last seven presidents. :thumbs:

Per doesn’t care about logic and real world happenings. Only what his charts and graphs show him.
If you just take all the partisan stuff people say or write at face value you can often get misled.
A lot of people think that unemployment is up under Biden, when in reality it is at a fifty year low.

But if you dig up the underlying figures you can see the truth for yourself. :look:

A spokeswoman said it was not an official campaign video and was posted by a junior staff member, not Mr Trump.
According to Trump himself, only he and his right-hand man, Dan Scavino, have access to post on his social media accounts.

https://x.com/BidenHQ/status/1792916416 ... y_aTA&s=09

Which would make sense. Why would a junior staffer have access to a presidential candidate's social media? :lol:
Well I hesitate to point out you're a nutter again.

Gotta love Robert De Niro eh Doc

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance" - Carl Sagan

De Niro to Trump supporters:

"Fuck you, FUCK YOU! "We're trying to be gentlemen... democrats are. You are gangsters!"

After he just criticized Trump in his shortened speech by saying:

"Trump has never punched anyone or taken a punch!"

:lol:

Stupid fucking [Mod Edit].

How much is Crazy Joe paying this nitwit?

Maga crowd was right: "You're washed up. YOU'RE WASHED UP!"

And: "You are nobody. NOBODY!"

I'm glad they chased Taxi Driver the fuck outta there.

I'm going with "Donnie doesn't believe any politician is for the greater good." - but some are just obvious conmen (and only liked by the christo-anarchists out there).

You are correct.

In a microcosm I agree.

In a macro scenario I don't.
