no you mean Keith Windschuttle’s incompetence don’t you.
He conveniently leaves out Trump and then says trump had the economy roaring, no it merely it continued the trend under Obama.
My guess is Putin was always going to get what he wanted under trump but with no invasion. That is the only conclusion you can come to if the USA left NATO. Fancy Bolton being right on this. Trump was a useful idiot.

He leaves Trump out by mentioning him? No wonder you failed pre-school. Sda, low energy.

Poor old Non Mentis, still flogging the dead horse of Trump, Trump, Trump, Wussia, Wussia, Wussia.

No evidence of course, just bland statements. “[His} guess is …”

if the US left NATO

If Non Mentis can make up things?

How’s that Biden Boom going? Workforce participation rate up? Inflation down?

No I said the economy continued the trend under Trump it had under Obama. you do need those ESL lessons pronto.
Well the US economy has had the largest employment boom ever seen since WW@. I would call that a boom.

My guess is Putin was always going to get what he wanted under trump but with no invasion.

What are these mysterious things that Putin got from Trump?

On the other hand, it looks as though Putin is “getting” Ukraine, but Biden, not Trump is U.S. president.

Putin waits until Trump is out of office and Biden in (for more than a year at that), but somehow his Ukraine invasion is all Trump’s fault!

BTW: Jan. 20, 2021: Just hours after Biden’s inauguration, his executive order killed the Keystone XL Pipeline and launched the Democrat War on Oil.

National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy entered office. She once said, “I want fossil fuels gone. I want fossil fuels out of products. I don’t want to help the fossil fuel industry to extend their life.” The US Energy Information Administration reported that week’s average gallon of regular gasoline cost $2.38.

Jan. 31, 2022: Reuters reported,“The Biden administration will raise the royalty rate that drilling companies must pay on oil and gas leases it plans to sell in the first quarter.” ($3.37)

So, in 12 months the average price of petrol per gallon in the U.S. goes up 99 cents (a whopping 42%) as a result of Biden government policy, all before Putin’s invasion.

But Biden is doing a fantastic job; rampant U.S. inflation and a major European war, none of which occurred on Trump’s watch and which he would have been slammed for they had.

Possibly the single most idiotic thing I have read all year, or a case of having-it-each-way-double-talk.

You seem unable even to comprehend your own words (possibly the result of being such a boofhead that you were unable to complete pre-school). Let me remind you:

He conveniently leaves out Trump and then says trump had the economy roaring

He must have mentioned Trump, even you say that he did.

Well the US economy has had the largest employment boom ever seen since WW@. I would call that a boom.

Perhaps is is another example of your poor reading comprehension, but you did not respond to my point about the workforce participation rate. Or, perhaps the answer doesn’t suit your case.

PS, when was WW @?

If you read the link you would understand. go back to ESL classes as soon as possible.

He says this out of the United States during the presidencies of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
I did not respond as I never wrote about it. It was irrelevant like most of your rants.
As per usual Lee cannot even read the last sentence.
You people are simply embarrassing.

NonMentis

You “never wrote about [Trump]”, but somehow the word magically appeared? Lay off the bong.

As for the rest of your drivel, I now understand how you were never able to finish pre-school. “The cat sat on the mat” is about the limit of your comprehension.

PS: “You people are simply embarrassing”? Writing it does not make it true, something else you might have learned had you ever gone to primary school.

so it is simply you cannot read.
Thought so.

Repetition does not make reality.

As for so it is simply you cannot read, this ludicrous (I know, big word, ask teacher to help you) comment is denied by the clear evidence that I have (patiently) been reading your drivel, and laughing at your pathetic attempts to sound intelligent. Go back to trying to coach apprentice bank tellers how to balance their cash drawer. It is beyond your capability, but at least it keeps you away from reality.

Incredible, coming from someone whose reading comprehension is close to non-existent, and writing incomprehensible, grammar-free garbage.
Were you born a moron, or did your “education” turn you that way?

I did not respond as I never wrote about it. It was irrelevant like most of your rants.

Your writing style is so obscure that it took me a while to guess (it is not clear) that you were possibly referring to my question about the workforce participation rate. True, but you did write that:

the US economy has had the largest employment boom ever seen since WW@

Even as silly a person as you should realise that an employment boom that comprises a reduction in measured unemployment, but takes no notice of the workforce participation rate, is incomplete. However, this is obviously too complex an issue for you to comprehend, so forget about it.

Back to your apprentice bank tellers!

A lot of people simply refuse to talk about it … even seasoned historians will look both ways and beckon you inside before closing and bolting the door.

The day Twitter went bad.
