If I had to guess: The excess deaths we are seeing are just the tip of the iceberg and the ship is sinking while we argue over chairs on either side of the Titanic. Meaning the data has not caught up to the reality yet.

When did Bill Clinton pay off the US debt? This never happened lol. The federal debt never even decreased while he was in office

I'm pretty sure he (this is an impossible feat to put on one person) figured out the budget deficit, but I wasn't exactly politically active in the 90s.

I'm not sure if it was over the course of both terms overall or just one specific year since I haven't actively looked into it but I believe that at some point the fed was able to get by with a surplus of about $500m rather than borrowing billions/trillions. I do see a lot of people claiming he wiped out the debt but yeah, he just managed to get by without a deficit, he didn't meaningfully service the debt but I will give him credit for not making it worse

There was a budget surplus at the end of Clintons presidency. Al Gore had his infamous "lockbox" speech about it, Bush wanted to give it back as tax cuts. In theory that money could have "pay down the debt" (spoiler alert it wasnt used that way)

It was only after Gingrich became Speaker. Pro-business President + anti-Government Congress + .com bubble was the magic, it was back to a deficit in 2001

I will need to see more than 1 panel held on a weekend at CNN to come to the conclusion that the "media" has turned on Kamala.

At best this is a warning to tard wrangle her because shes threatening to fuck with the people who write her campaign checks money.

The New York Times: Trump Is Losing the Humor War (archive)
Over the past decade, there’s one truth that liberals have been loath to admit: Donald Trump is funny. This aspect of his appeal prompts far less commentary than his far-right positions, his venality or his mogul’s bravado. But when you watch him at a rally, you can see he’s playing for laughs: jabbing at his opponents, doing crowd work, even being self-deprecating, sort of.

Cicero could write a treatise on Mr. Trump’s use of irony, as he’s proved himself a master of humorous misdirection. Liberals tend to think that irony is a type of wit that is aligned with progressivism. But for nearly a decade now, if you went looking for comedy in American politics, Mr. Trump would have been your best bet for finding it.

Now that magic is gone. Politics is about communication, and when Mr. Trump is on, his humor offers a clear outline of his worldview. These days, he looks lost. The fact that Mr. Trump is less sure-footed as a comedian may be a harbinger of a more significant uncertainty — an inability to land the punchlines because he can no longer identify the right setups.

Bill and Hilary's marriage was a political calculation, not one of love. There's a bunch of people that believe that Bill isn't the father of Chelsea and Webb Hubbell is. Supposedly Bill getting caught with his pants around his ankles was against whatever agreement the two had.

It's a giant conspiracy theory and who knows how much, if any, is true.

From what I remember out of my ass, Hilary's dad was some shady weirdo rich motherfucker and Bill needed his money for his career. Maybe once, a long long time ago, he and Hillary did have feeling for each other, one psychotic careerist for another psychotic careerist.

The child sacrifice and rapes really brought them together, like Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo.

Well there wasn't much going on militarily to waste money on, was there? The Cold War and first Iraq War had just ended. There was the awful thing of helpng the KLF annex Kosovo from Serbia but that didn't require much militarily. Just some bombing and a few boots on the ground and the UK (and others? I forgot) was doing it with the USA.
