As Above So Below

Hillary Clinton claims Trump wants to 'KILL his opposition' like Putin and Kim Jong Un in wild rant pleading for Americans to vote for Biden - but admits the president, 81, IS old​

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claim that Trump wants to 'kill' and 'imprison his opposition' in an interview rant where she begged voters to ignore an 'old' Joe Biden.

Clinton, 76, who lost the presidential election to the 77-year-old Trump in 2016, was appearing on the Defending Democracy podcast with Marc Elias, where she gave her take on the 2024 race.

She believes that when it comes to the rematch between the 81-year-old Biden and Trump, she still backs the 'effective and compassionate' current president despite his age who 'wants to maintain our Democracy.'

Trump, on the other hand, Clinton believes would be an autocrat in the model of Vladimir Putin or a dictator the likes of Kim Jong Un, while also being 'old' as she put it.

'Trump was just gaga over Putin because Putin does what Trump would like to do: Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists and others into exile, rule without any check or balance,' she said.

'That's what Trump really wants,' she added. 'Those are the people he is modeling himself after, and we've been down this road in our, you know, world history. We sure don't want to go down that again.'

Clinton contrasted Biden with Trump by saying that 'he wants to maintain our democracy, he will abide by the results of a fair and free election.'

'They say Joe Biden is old. I say you're right. Joe Biden is old, he's also effective, compassionate, he cares about people.'

'Donald Trump is old and he has 91 federal criminal indictments against him,' she said.

A Trump campaign spokesperson told the Washington Examiner in a statement that Clinton was delusional.

As above, so bellow
Last call for reality check.

American debit is 120% of GDP, while Argentina's is 85% of GDP. So, US is in a very bad company.

This is what should be the main focus of your elections, your own IMF is warning US gov. that its borrowing more money than it can repay. US gov. interest payments are already higher then all the military spending, or healthcare spending. Needless to say all that is happening while US Treasury secretary, Janet L. Yellen, went on her knees to China to beg China to stop "outproducing" US.

US stock market just turned south, because economic data that keeps coming out keeps telling us that inflation will be on rise.

You need POTUS who can handle this situation.

As Above So Below

The one piece of Trump’s legacy that haunts Biden​

President Joe Biden has positioned himself as the anti-Trump. He has worked actively to dismantle former President Donald Trump’s policies and position himself as the opposite of his predecessor in just about every regard. From overturning Trump’s policies on worker’s rights to energy to the border, the Biden administration didn’t want to leave anything in place from Trump’s legacy.

Except there is one big piece of Trump’s legislative agenda that has put Biden in a bind: the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, aka the Trump tax cuts.

Now, on the campaign trail, Biden is trying to talk tough on taxes and Trump’s cuts. But he has had three-plus years to overturn them and has done nothing. Now, in the thick of the election season, he is willing to declare, "If I’m reelected, it’s going to stay expired." That's still a risky proposition given what that means for the bulk of taxpayers.

It’s no secret that Americans, particularly in the working and middle class, have been absolutely crushed economically under Biden’s administration. Households are struggling to keep up with the effects of brutal inflation. The personal saving rate is down to 3.6% for the first quarter, well below historic averages. Meanwhile, household debt, including credit cards, has reached an all-time high, and delinquencies for several major debt categories are on the rise.

Skyrocketing mortgage rates and housing costs are making it impossible for individuals and families, including first-time buyers, to even find a house to buy, let alone afford the payments.

A survey commissioned by Redfin and conducted by Qualtrics, found that half of Americans are struggling to afford their housing payments, whether they own their home or are renting. They noted, "Roughly 1 in 5 people who struggle to afford housing have skipped meals and/or worked extra hours to help cover costs, while about 1 in 6 have delayed medical care."

This is a very different financial scenario than pre-pandemic under the Trump administration. Americans know what their costs are when they go to the grocery store or a restaurant, when they fill up with gas and when they try to make their housing payments, no matter the gaslighting from the Biden administration or its mouthpieces.

At this point, at least Americans can cling to the 2017 tax cuts still being in place.

As most Americans received some tax cut from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, Biden couldn’t afford to overturn those too. Doing so would mean that Americans would pay more taxes. And with the economic backdrop being absolutely abysmal, Biden has never sought to go there. In that sense, even Biden has benefitted from the tax cuts.

Of course, after the election, being in his second term, Biden has projected his desire to raise taxes. He says he wants a raise taxes on the "wealthy" only, but they never really are just for the wealthy. We have seen the real long-term impacts and "taxes" of inflation and Biden’s other policies on Americans.

Key provisions of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, including the lower individual tax rates, begin to expire at the end of 2025. So, whoever is elected will have to either admit they were a good idea and extend them, let them expire or replace them with some other taxation scheme.

In the meantime, Biden will have to live with the ghost of the tax cuts as that one policy he just couldn’t dismantle.
