From gas shortage to inflation, Biden's leadership suddenly under fire

So if we look at the decline in morals over the last 80 years we see now we have reached ground never achieved in human history.

If you think human morality is at an all-time low, you have either an incredibly narrow understanding of history, an incredibly narrow perception of morality, or both.

For many christians, "human morality" is only about how humans have sex with each other.

'Human morality'? Let's see: 80 years ago - 1941 - the Nazis had come up with the 'final solution'. Stalin was tidying up after one of his murderous purges'. German bombers invented 'Coventration', the systematic bombing of civilian targets as a weapon to reduce the morale of the British.

Perhaps another year? How about 1921? Jim Crow and Segregation.

The European medieval period was actually worse in terms of sexual morality. So perhaps you have to go to even more specifics about how humans have sex with each other.

So 'human morality' is about naughty sex!

I have a feeling this thread is going to get much better! Who wants to rabbit on about oil-pipes when we can compare Biden's lasciviousness with Trump's.

The trend across human civilization has been that, the more "civilized" (i.e. the more technologically advanced, urbanized, and specialized in our professions) that we get, the less violent we are. No, the correlation isn't perfect (e.g. Nazi Germany) but murder rates are (and were) generally much higher within less-developed cultures. Rewind the clock to virtually any time in the past and you're liable to land on a period more violent than now.

Is that the newest line of attack? "The president as hairy legs"?

No, that he thinks that helps him score with the ladies.......

Interview on Fox News: 'If I'd known about the hairy legs I would never have voted for him. We should'a been told.'

And yet you were okay with trump saying and doing all the things we know he did.

Biden says something about hairy legs ... major scandal.

Trump brags about walking in on naked 15 year olds ... crikets.

Nope, I called him out for it on the forum and suggested it was time he drop out of the race.......did you do that with Biden and his creepiness?......I got no problem with calling a spade a spade.......

I think a person would have to be either senile or a fool if not attempting to impress the ladies of 'virility'......you got a better reason?......if so, please do tell.......

Oh, dear! Are you regretting the 'Hairy Legsgate' remark now, civilwarbuff? I have never met a man who did not have hairy legs (or woman either, come to think of it) so as a sign of virility hairy legs hardly count.

Now that the petrol is flowing again there must be something to pin on Biden...

Inflation?

Heck, the 2021 inflation rate is projected to be about 2.3%. How scandalous.

Of course the inflation rate during trump's 4 year reign was 2.1%, 2.4%. 1.8% and 1.2% (during the 2020 COVID economic slump), but obviously you can't blame trump for similar inflation rates if you're a conservative.

I don't see much equivalence between Biden's "creepiness" and trump's documented criminality, calling for the execution of innocent black teenagers, and raping women.

Not at all.....I simply pointed out the comment is very creepy yet no here on the left has ever condemned it.....along with his creepy hands on behavior with other women. You guys criticized (and still do) Trump's creepiness; just thought I'd see what happens when the tables turn. The response has been far from surprising......

If you spoke with anyone one on the east coast recently you'd find that is not accurate.....

Although the Colonial Pipeline — a critical 5,500-mile artery that runs from Houston to New Jersey — had restored operations by Wednesday night, several states in the Southeast were still reporting significant outages. In North Carolina, roughly 60% of gas stations were still dry Friday morning, according to the tracking site GasBuddy.
Gas station supply crunch, price hike at the pump may put a wrench in road trip plans
