Vacate Watch - Speaker Mike Johnson (R - LA)

[Rightguide]

Yes the purchasing power has decreased since 1900. That how the universe works. This isn't something that is anybody's fault aside from increasing population and improving technology.

Yet gold hasn't lost any of its purchasing power. Ponder that for a month or so and get back to me. Ask yourself, what is the difference between an ounce of gold and a paper dollar?

 

[Rightguide]

Gold rises when inflation is over the Fed target rate of 2%. Inflation is currently 3.1%, obviously presaging the collapse of America as we know it. Only Trump can save us. /sarcasm

Gold has not lost any of its purchasing power since 1900. Tell us why. Gold doesn't increase in value because it is value. As the Dollar loses its purchasing power it takes more Dollars to buy an ounce of gold. What you describe as gold rising in value is simply the Dollar losing its value. This happens every time the government prints more fiat Dollars and puts them into circulation to dilute the value of existing Dollars earned through the actual production of goods and services.

Mostly because we don't use it. If we used it we would have deflation which would be absolutely devastating for the average human being. By the way its not like gold is immune to inflation.

 

[Rightguide]

So these investigations… how will they go under Dictator Cheeto? Just swift retribution? Seems like we know where you want things.

Conspirators who break the law to go after political opponents belong in prison.

No, take the whole month as I suggested you need it to properly study the issue.

Show me where gold has ever lost any of its purchasing power.

 

[MajorRewrite]

The value of gold bounces up and down constantly. Any of the low points represent a loss relative to the previous peak.

What does gold have to do with Mike Johnson and the Republican House of Representatives Clown Show (TM)?

 

[Sean Renaud]

No, take the whole month as I suggested you need it to properly study the issue.

Inflation is caused by too much money, which in the real world is LABOR, chasing too few goods. IT doesn't matter if we measure in zeros and ones, shiny stones, feathers or signed copies of Harry Potter. When you accurately measure capital as man hours the more men and the more efficiently you can deploy that labor the more inflation you get. ITs a fucking force of nature.

You need a month of study and research on the subject of inflation and economics before wading in with superstition. Inflation is not "a force of nature," it is completely man-made. Read Milton Friedman's "Freedom To Choose" or "The Theory of Money And Credit" by Ludwig Von Mises and then come back to me.

It is not man made. I don't care what Milton said because he clearly got this wrong or more likely you misunderstaood what he wrote. It is a literal force of nature. It will happen all on its own if everything proceeds normally. Always has, always will.

Lower cost of living is "devastating"? I think inflation is far worse than deflation. Deflation is what the rich fear, because their profits go way down. Biden and the Democrats expect people to be grateful that inflation (i.e. price increases) is going up at a slower rate than a couple of years ago, even though 2019 prices are way in the past and prices are only going to continue to rise unless there's a big shock to the system or a revolution, and even though the very rich have made obscene profits. The establishment are baffled at Biden's unpopularity and can't work it out, which shows how out of touch they really are with the American people. There is always money for Biden's wars as well.

Conspirators who break the law to go after political opponents belong in prison.

So, you think those who orchestrated the Biden impeachment hearings should be in jail?

Look at that, some common ground. There was no evidence at all… but yet wasting taxpayer money for political theater. Gotta be a law against that somewhere right??

How about knowing there WASN’T widespread voter fraud but continually telling your cult there was so they storm the Capitol? A law there too right?

And where do you fit into that, you already for your orange jumpsuit? All you do is spread propoganda knowing it’s false. And you do it online so that is across state lines… all so you can “own the libs”.

Again, please let us know your local jurisdiction-I’m sure a local DA would be interested in knocking on your door. Only one at home to answer it you since you can keep anyone else around you and this is the only way you can try to feel good about yourself.

 

[Rightguide]

No, because Joe has broken the law and deserves to be impeached for his crimes.

 

[Sean Renaud]

No, because Joe has broken the law and deserves to be impeached for his crimes.

As far we know Joe hasn't broken the law.

 

[Rightguide]

As "far" as you and yours go is about as long as a piss ant. The House has assembled a list of laws he's broken and he's broken several federal statutes regarding immigration he was required by oath to uphold none of which provide the President with a judgment call.

You are free to think that, you are however wrong. Deflation is a sign of a bad economy. If you have deflation you also have high unemployment. VERY HIGH. Inflation is about where its supposed to be, a tick higher than we would like but only a tick. The Establishment isn't that surprised at the lack of popularity they just understand there is no fixing Americans. Our education system is so fucking busted that short of Biden challenging Putin to a winner take all match at Summer Slam and uniting the the world under the undisputed United States hegemony nothing is going to get him past 50%.

We know the rich are making obscene amounts of money. That's called capitalism. The same people who don't approve of him actively fight even the idea of trying to reign in the rich. This is a problem that people, particularly the right like.

Regardless for the average person deflation is really bad since most of us are in debt. If you are in debt you want inflation since it essentially lowers your debt.

 

[ll74]

And a non sequitur as well.

If you're discussing asylum laws being broken (it is being discussed), then it is related. Saying that the current administration should do things that past administrations have been struck down for doing seems on par for your bullshit though.

 

[Rightguide]

No, they haven't.

Art.1: “These acts are abuses of power as well as the following federal crimes or conspiracy to commit the following federal crimes: Bribery of Public Officials, 18 USC § 201; Hobbs Act Extortion “Under Color of Official Right,” 18 USC § 1951; Honest Services Fraud relating to use of official position, 18 USC § 1346.”

Art II: “These acts constitute an abuse of power as well as Obstruction of Justice, 18 USC §§ 1505, 1510, 1512.”

Art. III: “These acts constitute violations of or conspiracy to violate federal drug laws at 21 USC §§ 841, 842, 843, 846 and federal prostitution laws at 18 USC §§ 2421, 2421A, 2422.”

Art. IV: “These acts constitute violations of or conspiracy to violate federal drug laws at 21 USC §§ 841, 842, 843, 846 and federal prostitution laws at 18 USC §§ 2421, 2421A, 2422.”
I will add he's broken 18 USC 1324 as well.

How is that impeachment going, btw? Weird how they all relate to immigration laws, which Biden is adhering to.

 

[Rightguide]

Who said anything about impeachment? I said the House has established a list of crimes that Joe Biden violated. I didn't say a thing about Chuck Schumer's historic failure to carry out his oath of office to enforce the Constitution. That is a separate matter for a future Senate to deal with.

Your post was specifically their impeachment inquiry.

Nothing in that inquiry is accurate nor has it been proven.

Well let them attempt to make the case for these laws. Regardless Presidents like anybody else do have the right to chose what laws they want to enforce.

NO THEY DON'T. Read the oath of office. It only happens if Congress gives the President authority to decide. In the statute I mentioned he has none.
