#1 Biden warns food shortages are 'going to be real' across the globe because of Putin invading the world's 'breadbasket' Ukraine

#2 ^ Fucking liar. The main reason for food shortages is Biden's foolish sanctions policy. Biden is lying about wheat just as he lies about oil and gas. He bears the blame for this.

#3 ...One thing to count on - if things get as bad as some believe, watch a lot of woke nonsense go out the window in terms of tolerance. People who can't get enough food or gas to get to work - if they still have jobs - won't tolerate being screamed at about pronouns, CRT, or a lot of other things.

#5 To paraphrase the young internet lady, the first time an outsider gets in office we have abundant, cheap food, energy independence and cheap oil and gas...let's not forget those petrochemicals either.

Now it's all turned to crap within a year under this lifelong semi coherent blowhard and professional hack.

As I said previously they started with Pestilence, have gone to War, and now it's Famine. Funny thing about that whole entire fertilizer situation...and who could have seen that coming? Anybody else notice the fertilizer plant fires in Winston-Salem and the Pacific Northwest? That came at the tale end of extended flu season? Must be a coincidence.

Then again, anybody else think it perhaps peculiar that Russia is 'leading' the talks to revive the Iranian deal? And rather profitably, too.

Of course if it's enough of a struggle to keep the lights on and food in the house, well, small matter who profits from fun and games in the Ukraine.

#6 Biden is continuing in Clinton and Obama's footsteps with stupid sanctions. America imposed sanctions on India in 1998 and all they accomplished was to breed a deep and lasting distrust of America by Indians. The current sanctions are already causing hundreds off millions to go hungry around the world. Millions will starve.

Like the sanctions on Iran, or Cuba, or India, these sanctions will do nothing to change the behavior of the targeted government but will do great damage to the general population. This time, the general population means the world's population, including Americans. What an unbelievably destructive and foolish policy.

#7 "Historic job growth" = just more bullshit that they're spouting and that half of their kind will eventually convince themselves must be correct. I cannot believe we no longer have a free and independent press in this country to shred such nonsense.

#8 ^ Yes. Re-employing all the people tossed out of their jobs by the COVIDian farce and calling it "historic job growth" is sort of like people at the funeral hone saying what a good job the undertaker did.

#9 If there is historic job growth it's because the inflation is forcing people to get jobs instead of becoming homeless.

#10 Someone should re-release Americathon to streaming.

Gas to expensive the economy crashes and people live in their cars? Would make a prophetic Double-feature with idiocracy.

#11 "Historic Job Growth" makes me want to bust kneecaps. As its been pointed out, getting a job back isn't increasing jobs.
