Nice, you got most of em. The inflation one made my jaw drop too. Like rent and food prices in the US have gone up like 20% every single damn year.
Tankies once again showing they don't know Basic(TM) economics. The war on inflation is over. We won, at very little cost.
If not for the existence of Barack "Drone King" Obama, Paul Krugman would be proof positive as to the abject worthlessness of Nobel prizes.
Krugman always makes me think of this one from one of Lenin's best diss tracks:
The answer is simple: the personal qualities of present-day professors are such that we may find among them even exceptionally stupid people like Tugan. But the social status of professors in bourgeois society is such that only those are allowed to hold such posts who sell science to serve the interests of capital, and agree to utter the most fatuous nonsense, the most unscrupulous drivel and twaddle against the socialists. The bourgeoisie will forgive the professors all this as long as they go on “abolishing” socialism.

Inflation on food has not budged.
Yeah but TVs are more affordable than ever so thanks Biden!
Food inflation growth rate has decreased but high food inflation for over a year reduced the purchasing power especially as there wasn't much growth in wages.
" Food inflation is a fanum tax on the poor" - Someone
Is it still inflation when they're just jacking the prices up bc they can and no one will stop them?

Why do you think most economic indicators and inflation calculators exclude food?
Let them eat VR!
Libs will believe anything you tell them, if its printed on watermarked vellum with a Sans Serif font.
Just adding on to this
45.3 million people have student loan debt, so we helped...7.9% of them. Typical liberal 'help'.
When he's right, he's right though, we sure are 'standing up' for Ukraine and Israel, the admin literally circumvented Congress again to send Israel more guns to kill Palestinians with, and is currently quiet quitting in Ukraine.
Wait, that's not supporting...oh.
The White House is reportedly open to making concessions to Republicans in its negotiations over aid to Ukraine and Israel that go far beyond border security.
lmao, can't make this stuff up.
The admin did also confirm a lot of judges, although maybe it'd be better if they didn't.
Mr. Biden had intended to nominate Meredith for a district court judgeship in eastern Kentucky...Meredith, a well-known conservative in Kentucky, defended the state's anti-abortion laws in court. He also successfully defended a state law that stripped Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear of his emergency power to implement COVID-19 restrictions.
Liberals.

This reads like my first resume where i was listing the useless college projects I did.
energy
indistinguishable from me padding my quarterly review key deliverables summary
"through various actions"
"(action) to advance (good thing)"
"improved (thing)"
"took action to"
"strengthened"
"helped"
also bragging about standing up for Israel lmfao
It does sound like a bullshit resume and I don't think that's a coincidence when you look at the kind of linkdin freaks who work in PR.
I hate that they've made us weaponize the soulless PR speak they invented against them, just to get a job.

Tackled inflation & lowered costs
Lemme just shell out 200 bucks for the store-brand variants of a week's load of groceries that USED to cost 50 if I was getting the ritzy settler brands. And the lie detector test determined... That was a lie.
Tackled the climate crisis
Lemme just look outside and see how it was in the 60s where I'm at for Christmas. We used to be able to count on a foot of snow being on the ground by now. The lie detector test determined... That was a lie.
Invested in Amerika and created good jobs
Lemme just check Indeed, Monster, and my local temp agency real quick... And the lie detector test determined... That was a lie.
Made Amerika safer from gun violence
Cops done shot up MORE PEOPLE THAN THEY HAVE FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS THIS YEAR ALONE. And the lie detector test determined... That was a lie.
Made higher education more affordable
Where's the debt forgiveness Joseph? And the lie detector test determined... That was a lie.
Strengthened democracy at home and abroad
You had hundreds of activists locked up between Palestinians and Black folk; more than half of them have been given RICO charges that will put them away for decades if not for the rest of their lives, and you claim you 'strengthened DEMOCRACY'? CRACKER PLEASE.
Confirmed highly qualified judges
Uh... Where? Who?
: "Stop with the purity tests, you know Joe Biden couldn't do anything too ambitious or else he'd alienate whit-, I mean, the working class!"
Yawn, read the Chinese President's address instead.
2023 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the Xi-Han Administration
★ PREVENTED INFLATION & LOWERED COSTS
Consumer and wholesale prices fell, avoiding the years-long inflationary and cost-of-living crisis present in the rest of the world.
★ TACKLED THE CLIMATE CRISIS
Installed 230 GW of wind and solar power - double that of the US and EU combined. The world's first pebble-bed gas-cooled high-temperature nuclear reactor entered commercial service. The number of electric vehicle charging stations reached 100,000 with 33% in rural areas. Despite high power consumption increases of nearly 10% year-on-year, the country is set to reach peak carbon emissions ahead of schedule.
★ PREVENTED A REAL ESTATE CRISIS
The ongoing property sector crisis continues to be managed, preventing Japan-like stagnation.
★ OVERSAW INNOVATION-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
The C919 large passenger airplane entered commercial service. The Chinese-built large cruise ship completed its trial voyage, and the Shenzhou spaceships are continuing their missions in space. Further advances in the domestic semiconductor industry have been made.
★ STRENGTHENED MULTILATERAL INSTITUTIONS
Various international trade deals were denominated in local currencies. Several more countries were invited to join BRICS.
and so on and so forth, etc. etc. I only have my laptop and can't use my right pointer finger so I'm pretty tired of navigating the internet and typing lol
I literally watched Xi's address last night and was blown away by the use of examples of actual, concrete things done and not just lofty rhetoric about shit like "the promise of America" and "the shape of our democracy".
I hate “optimistic” documentaries made by liberals because it was always ends with some shit like “even though our country is deeply divided, at the end of the day, we’re Americans. And Americans want to protect our freedoms and democracy. We’ll get there, but we have to work together.”
And throughout the documentary it’s just some bourgeois asshole naval gazing at poor people.
Look Jack I saved the soul of America now vote for me 
Last night I was with mostly liberals, so they wanted to watch the Times square ball drop. Even they had to admit it was the most depressing, ad-ridden joke of a tradition. Watching Xi's calming, and uplifting new year address this morning is the best detox for it.

A proper fucking country.
Ah, ca suffit... you've done your work...
Here's a list of all the things I people hate me for failing to do. People are going to love me if I just lie through my teeth and claim I did an awesome job on all of them
my sincere reaction to seeing this
The climate crisis is over. He tackled it. 
tackled it and beat it to death with his bare hands 
● Provided exceptional workplace ethic while serving as supervisor to over 50 departments while maintaining personal staff.
Straight up delusional. God damn.
invested in America & created good jobs
Did Nathan Felder write this?
MADE AMERICA SAFER FROM GUN VIOLENCE
About 1,000 less deaths than last year. Lol
The proposed law would restrict federal funding to states that didn’t comply. Red states took it to court, and Biden threw in the towel and added “exemptions” to the states.
The legislation never received a vote in the Senate.
man really posted he solved the climate crisis and legalised abortion in amerikkka
https://twiiit.com/POTUS/status/1741206275055034388
this is a list of things that sound good, and then an explanation about how the claims fall short
TACKLED THE CLIMATE CRISIS
wrote “the climate crisis” on the ground and then tripped on it
PROTECTED ACCESS TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE
by making sure hospital doors are unlocked during business hours
ACHIEVED WORLD PEACE
uniting it in hatred towards me
CONVERTED USA TO 150% RENEWABLE ENERGY
technically fossil fuels are renewable on a long enough time span
CURED CANCER
made crab jerky
HOUSED ALL THE HOMELESS
by throwing them all in prison
GAVE EVERY CITIZEN $2,000,000
in tax breaks if they donate to my campaign
CURED CANCER made crab jerky
Took me a second but then made me chuckle
"tackle", "protect", "safer", "strengthen"... What a vocabulary. I can't tell if I'm reading something about football or a war report.
I want a linebackers coach to give me a breakdown on his form
me trying to update my resume when i spent the last 3 years smoking weed and playing video games at my job:
-
No you didn't
-
No, you most certainly didn't (although to be fair no one president can do this)
-
Ok, the high speed rail stuff is pretty cool. I'm in a good mood, so you get one.
-
No you didn't
-
Wasn't there more mass shootings in 2023 than days?
-
Could have fooled me
-
Yeah, you 'spoke out' against it. But no one listened.
-
None of that is relevant thanks to the supreme court, and democrats would never use the GOP tactics of putting their alleged ideological loyalties as upmost priority.
"Protected millions of acres of lands and waters"
If anyone tells you it's wrong to lie on your resume just show them this.
