A better question would be: "has inflation slowed/improved?"

From Ycharts.com I'd call it a "slight" improvement, but I'm not on Team Blue.

Hey, you're the one arguing about it. Are you hyperventilating?

He just can't stop.

So this is what has the Left's panties in a bunch? Qatar is going to build some buildings on a US base to house troops that need to be trained there? Hey, Team Blue, this has been going on for decades, except in the past we provided the buildings to our allies.

Things to know about the Qatar training facility planned for an Idaho Air Force base

When U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Friday morning that the federal government had reached an agreement with Qatar to build a facility at an Air Force base in Idaho, social media posts began popping up online from people across the political spectrum expressing outrage at the concept

Let me wake up, tell myself it is ok to do illegal things.

Like **** women, commit financial fraud, incite an insurrection?

Let me tell myself you don't have to be qualified to be in the government, just fit an image.3

Like being president with no prior experience in government, and no CLUE how to do it, leading to failure and landing in the list of the worst four presidents in history?

Let me tell people I am a woman if I am really a man or a man if I am really a woman.

More proof that medical science is not something you believe in.
Poorly educated, and proud of it.

Convince people it is ok to teach kids how to have *** with same *** people.

Like this guy, or a different scenario?

Teach kids it's ok to have *** in grade school.

Clarify.
Have it IN school, or learn in school that it's OK to have it?

Let me tell people how wrong guns are and try to convince them that by banning them criminals won't use them.

Banning guns won't prevent criminals from using them.
Yet you think banning people from speaking will stop them from speaking.

Let me dye my hair pink and pierce my face with jewelry.

And? Body decoration has existed for centuries.
Your savior has his face painted orange every day, thinking it somehow fools people into believing he is healthy, with glowing skin.
But he looks like a pumpkin.

Let's make sure that we tell everyone we are tolerant people but the minute we hear someone speak with a opinion and different views, let's blow their head off.

Like the Christians who are not supposed to judge others, as that is the job of their "god"?

Maybe the people who blow up abortion clinics?

Anti- *****+ hate crimes?

Let's force everyone to cater to our mental defects and make them call us things we are not.

You ask to be regarded as a smart person, when you have proved here that you are not.
You demand to be considered a homeowner, when you are not.
You claim to be a gun owner, when you are not.
You claim to be financially secure, when you are not.

Mental defects, simple delusions, internet bigshot?

Let's make them use incorrect pronouns or punish them.

Explain the punishments for using the incorrect pronoun.

Let's believe the government loves us and would do anything for us unless they are Republicans.

The Republicans sure are doing their best to **** us ALL over. Republican, Democrat, Independent, doesn't seem to matter.

Yup, smarter than the WHOLE world.

Who knows about the whole world, but certainly smarter than Republicans

An increase, when a decrease is promised, is an "improvement"?
Huh.

Do you **** women? Commit financial fraud? Incite insurrections?

Like being president with no prior experience in government, and no CLUE how to do it, leading to failure and landing in the list of the worst four presidents in history?

The government is a business like any other. Furthermore there are advisors with every President. A list made by the left to make themselves feel good holds no water.

More proof that medical science is not something you believe in.
Poorly educated, and proud of it.

Is every statement you make out of complete ignorance?

Like this guy, or a different scenario?

Don't know, don't care.

Clarify.
Have it IN school, or learn in school that it's OK to have it?

Well... how about I direct you to the first word I used. Teach. Commonly done in school. Stupid.

Banning guns won't prevent criminals from using them.
Yet you think banning people from speaking will stop them from speaking.

No shit banning guns won't prevent criminals from using them. Are you missing my point on purpose or are you really this stupid?

And? Body decoration has existed for centuries.

NO SHIT!

Your savior has his face painted orange every day, thinking it somehow fools people into believing he is healthy, with glowing skin.

More ignorance.

Says the guy who is too ignorant to even know why these bans came about.

Maybe the people who blow up abortion clinics?

Maybe an entire half a country burning down cities...

Anti- *****+ hate crimes?
View attachment 68440

Yes, I am sure the *****+-= people never start anything and then act like victims when the cops show up either. Nah, that wont affect numbers.

You ask to be regarded as a smart person, when you have proved here that you are not.

Says you, the ignorant, biased bigot.

You demand to be considered a homeowner, when you are not.
You claim to be a gun owner, when you are not.
You claim to be financially secure, when you are not.

Again because I did not provide you with proof you just assume your claims are true. Again, ignorant.

Mental defects, simple delusions, internet bigshot?

Are you self reflecting?

Explain the punishments for using the incorrect pronoun.

Because you are ignorant and stupid...

Cities with pronoun protection laws

In certain cities, intentional misgendering is treated as a form of harassment under local human rights laws, particularly in employment, housing, and public accommodations.

• New York City: The New York City Human Rights Law forbids intentional and persistent misuse of pronouns and names. This applies to employers, housing providers, and public accommodations. Violators can be fined up to $250,000.
• Washington, D.C.: District law prohibits deliberately misusing a transgender employee's preferred pronouns. The Office of Human Rights views this as a violation of the city's Human Rights Law.
• Baltimore: A 2023 bill was proposed to make the "willful use of the incorrect name or pronouns of an individual" illegal in certain business sectors

The Republicans sure are doing their best to **** us ALL over. Republican, Democrat, Independent, doesn't seem to matter.

You sure aren't trying to make anyting better. Just fueling the fires with your hatred, ignorance and bigotry.

Who knows about the whole world, but certainly smarter than Republicans

Numbers so ******* close they are WELL within any margins of error. Nice try though.

They're really into violence now.

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

Do you **** women? Commit financial fraud? Incite insurrections?

No, but your Republican president does.

The government is a business like any other. Furthermore there are advisors with every President. A list made by the left to make themselves feel good holds no water.

The government does not exist to be a business. It exists to serve the people.

Is every statement you make out of complete ignorance?

Ironic question of the day.

Don't know, don't care.

Of course not. Anything that screws with your narrative is irrelevant.

Well... how about I direct you to the first word I used. Teach. Commonly done in school. Stupid.

Based on your grammar, they are "teaching" kids it's OK to have actual ****** activity while they are physically in school.
What school is teaching this?

No shit banning guns won't prevent criminals from using them. Are you missing my point on purpose or are you really this stupid?

You just defeated your own argument.
You are your own worst enemy.

NO SHIT!

So, what's your panic over it? How does it make your daily existence worse?

More ignorance.

Do you think that's his natural color?
Talk about ignorance!

Says the guy who is too ignorant to even know why these bans came about.

Educate me. Explain why gay marriage was banned, if not because of religiosos watnign to please their "god".

Maybe an entire half a country burning down cities...

Which is bad, but blowing up abortion clinics is good?

Yes, I am sure the *****+-= people never start anything and then act like victims when the cops show up either. Nah, that wont affect numbers.

Nice fals equivalence.
Try staying on topic.

Says you, the ignorant, biased bigot.

And your accusation has what to do with the myriad failures of logic and ongoing proof of ignorance you share here? Are you saying that your posts are somehow MY fault?

Again because I did not provide you with proof you just assume your claims are true. Again, ignorant.

You provided plenty of proof that your claims are lies.
You just aren't bright enough to know it.

Are you self reflecting?

Self-reflectring when I ask you the casue of your incessant lies?
That would suggest I control your thoughts and actions.

Because you are ignorant and stupid...

Those are anti-harassment laws.
It's not against the law to use the incoreect pronoun. It's against the law to do it as a form of harassment.

Do you think it's against the law to call a woman "Sir" by accident, when she has lost all estrogen, and has a whiskey voice?
Do you think it's against the law to do it time and time again, after you were corrected and it was explained to you that you were wrong?

Damn, you are one simple-minded rube.

You sure aren't trying to make anyting better. Just fueling the fires with your hatred, ignorance and bigotry.

Says the guy who thinks people with pink hair, piercings, brain/body mismatches, dark skin, etc, are somehow lesser human beings than him.

And, I'm the guy who wnats the Republicans out of office, so we can get things back on the right track.
Trump is failing again, and can't blame COVID this time.

Numbers so ******* close they are WELL within any margins of error. Nice try though.

These aren't IQ tests, you rube.
They are statistics reported by the people THEMSELVES on what they have done in their lives.

Lemme guess: They've been fudging data for 35 years, just to make Republicans look bad, but no one has caught them yet?

More evidence:

“Polygenic scores predicted social liberalism and lower authoritarianism, within-families. Intelligence was able to significantly predict social liberalism and lower authoritarianism, within families, even after controlling for socioeconomic variables.
