Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
All liars ... lie to protect themselves, to shield their egos from the raw pain of truth. A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood. The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that's also a hypocrite! Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
White House bragging about Biden job gains draws social-media backlash
The US added just 199,000 jobs in December, far below expectations
Social media users on Friday balked at a graphic the White House posted online that claimed President Biden has created far more jobs than any other commander-in-chief.
"Ever," the post boasted.
The graphic – which appeared on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook – was posted just hours after a disappointing jobs report showed hiring had fallen far below expectations in December.
While the numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics appeared to be accurate, the raw data failed to show important context.
The talking point that Biden has created more jobs than any other president is a favorite of his – but he isn’t factoring in population and labor-force growth, or the fact that many of the jobs recently gained had been lost during a sharp drop in employment because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The economy is still 5 million jobs under the peak reached before the pandemic, according to Politifact.

Jan 6
top two Republicans in Congress said in the immediate aftermath of the riot.
"Former President Trump's actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful dereliction of duty," Sen. Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor in the wake of Trump's acquittal last February from an impeachment charge for his actions (and lack thereof) on January 6. "There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their President."
A week after the Capitol riot, Rep. Kevin McCarthy was similarly blunt. "The president bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by mob rioters," McCarthy said. "He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. These facts require immediate action by President Trump.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
And when exactly did you start expecting truth from politicians?
If we could pinpoint that moment we may be able to discern when it all started to go wrong.
I can say with authority that it certainly wasn't between the years 2016 and 2020.Comment
