NYPost: Psaki says Obama, Biden talk regularly but refuses to say how often
White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday said President Biden and former President Barack Obama talk “regularly” but refused to say how often to avoid “violating” the privacy of their friendship.
The relationship between Biden and his boss of eight years has been a point of intrigue in Washington. Obama lives only about 2 miles from the White House, though Psaki appeared to indicate they speak primarily by phone.

WNU Editor: My gut tells me that they talk 2 to 3 times a week. And these are long conversations, not short ones.

Biden Proposes 16 Percent Increase in Social Spending
It does not end well. You could eat up the entire military budget and it will not end well.
Will the US dollar’s slide erode its status as the world’s currency of choice?
Last Call. Party is about to be over.
party over? funniest comment in ten years
A case has been made for the dollar losing reserve currency status. You have not made a counterargument. All you have done instead is laugh like a baboon.
But consider this. You have no idea how large China is, which is not surprising. You are ill educated, illiterate, and all around very stupid. It is not surprising how large the China is as you have no idea how large the British Empire was or is or how many British Empires there were. You have no idea how large the Roman empire was and could not come up with the right answer, if you tried to study it.
Where did you get your folded piece of paper? A Cracker Jack box?

Did my referring to a folded piece of paper set you off? If you were in an airport terminal and was engaged in origami, would you go postal?
I do regard you as stupid. It is my opinion and I am entitled to it.

Inside China’s quiet plan to dethrone the dollar
China’s wish to end US dollar dominance is unlikely to come true with no genuine challenger in the wings
China has been trying to dethrone the US dollar for a decade or longer. China is going to buy Iranian oil in Chinese currency, which means that as the Chinese trade sphere grows, US sanctions have decreased, if any effect.
If or when China gets Taiwan, you do not think Singapore is on the menu? With a hostile South China Sea and no Singapore, how is the US going to get to the IO? Via Australia or the Suez?
Going via Australia adds a lot of sailing time. It is a lot of w=eat and tear on equipment. It costs more. It decreases operational tempo.
Suez Canal can be blocked by the government or by direct action.
Going around the Cape of Good Hope can be fun, if there is a large pressure differential. You get these huge swells. What happened to that ship in the North Sea can happen to the Navy going around the Cape. Navy Ships are built more for being weapons platforms than stability. Seaworthiness is a large consideration, but it is decreased somewhat for weaponry. Swing 40 or 50 degrees side to side is ... ummm FUN! That's it Fun. Swimming does not help you when the water is 50 degrees.

Just remember the initials SCMP.
Oh, my KIN and I do not want to fuck you. We have scruples and standards. We don't fuck idiots.
"Obviously, this kind of spending isn’t sustainable. At some point, the party will be over and the band will have to be paid. To believe we can go on and on building the national debt ever higher and keep expecting other nations to fund our profligacy is delusional. The only thing making this spending spree possible is that the dollar is still the backbone of international finance and its value is unquestioned. But China, Russia, and a few other nations are agitating for change."
Without reserve currency status overspending leads to massive inflation.
If you live on retirement income, it means you are fucked.
Keep spending more Obozo and president Puppet!
TWO BRIGHT GUYS TALKING TO EACH OTHER
BETTER THAN TRUMP TALKING TOBUTT KISSERS
TIRED OF WINNING?
I Want To Hold Your Hand
I wanna Hold your hand
Jill guides Joe on and off stages.
Obama tells him what to do. I mean should not Joe after 5fice decades in Washington know what to do?
Let's get things straight.
* I simply do not care, if you like my opinion. It is not even a lost cause. It is not a cause, period. You simple do not have the knowledge base or the intelligence to appreciate what I have to say.
* You are the stalker. I comment on pure military and politico-military and political articles.
You act as a bounder. A bounder is a dog or wolf in a pack that thinks it is its' duty to enforce rules. You can learn a lot by watching nature films. You comically try to act as a bounder at this website. Any time a liberal, socialist or Democrat is criticized, there you are.
I comment on military articles. You do not. The articles you comment on are a subset of the ones I comment on. The articles you comment on that Id o not are few and far between f they exist. You sir are the stalker and very poor one at that. Your style is all thud and blunder.
* You are to the IQ scale what absolute zero is to the Kelvin Temperature Scale.
These conversations are more likely held with Susan Rice and Ha-Ha-Harris. Biden might be in the room, but only for wall decor.
The results are worked down to the benign/dull press statements that Biden then reads from the teleprompter mounted to his lower left.

what does it matter? fact: trump lost the white house, the senate and the house. tired of winning?
When Obama and Biden talk, I understand it is a freaky and degenerate spectacle. Obama pretends to be a little girl and Biden pretends to molest it. All on the phone. Whoever is taping these calls has a lot of blackmail material.

For Hating Trump So Much, Biden Sure Is Cloning A Bunch Of His Successful Policies
You are wining so much that you are afraid of De Santis, Trump and others. You know that President Demented will not make it across the finish line and Ha Ha Harris is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Biden perhaps has kept some of what Trump had done, as Trump had kept some of what Obama had done etc. but that does not mean Biden is a clone. It means he separates out that which he believes is good and tosses that he believes is bad. That makes sense. Why then the need to use that as a snarky response?
This is what Biden is using or going to use.
I COVID Vaccines
II Border Wall
the president’s administration is reconsidering some of his predecessor’s approaches to curb illegal crossings, including finishing parts of the border wall.
III Tariffs
IV China and Foreign Policy
"While" Blinky "said he “disagreed” with how the Republican president handled some things, he also acknowledged that a “tougher approach to China” was the “right one” for American foreign policy."
What did Trump use of Obama's?
The DoD? HHS? The Dept. of education?
Biden is a clone of Obama. He uses the same loser phrases:
Come on, man."
"That is not, who we are"
You use those phrases to convince people when you have no substance that you can list point by point, You simple engage in handwaving and emotionally utter "Come on, man!" like a chump.

Think all those poor, poor student , who had such a teacher. Think of the poor parents, who wasted good money on shitty tuition.
4th rate teach teaching at a 3rd rate school.
Fred's poor students? one went on to be very sought after medical specialist. Another a distinguished critic with a book that came out a month ago, in addition to many earlier ones and on and on..so go on foaming. We know it is your low self esteem. And we also know you got it from your praising, where all such personality deficits come from
Social spending is bad? not according to the GOP voters in our nation!
Defense?
On Friday, President Joe Biden submitted his budget proposal for the 2022 fiscal year, which includes $715 billion in funding for the Department of Defense, a slight increase from the $704 billion budget for the 2021 fiscal year.
Social spending has to provide enough return to cover the interest n the borrowing. As it is it just mostly gets consumed.
You are not very bright Fred.
I would consider social spending worth it, if we lift 2/3rds of people in poverty out of poverty one generation and the other 3rd in the next generation.
All we get instead is more poor people and more need for welfare spending.
The successful medical specialist learned what they needed to learn from on of their several dozen or a few hundred other teachers. They succeeded in spite of you not because of you.
Forgot that special male ex-student didn't you Lapides?
still projecting twinkle toes?
anon :: they learned what they did without me and despite me? Is that why one dedicated his PhD dissertation to me?
still can not get off your stalking, twinkle toes...get a fucking life and tell you mommy she turned you into a whimpy wuss
The ex male student also made a "dedication" to you, but you won't talk about it, how come? It's well known about you Lapides.
Misfit: The person is dead, having had a distinguished teaching life in a European nation. Your attempt to smear people exposes the shitty upbring you have had and how low your self-esteem truly is. If you want to try to smear me, go at it. I really do not care. You have read my oral history, published online by Rutgers University, and you go non stop to my online site, and that seemingly is your full time
occupation when you are not jerking off and being a total waste product
A case has been made for the dollar losing reserve currency status. ??
and you cite a Chinese source? Which side are you on?
I support America and we will just fine. Back to killing Muslims
and from The Economist:
The upshot is that America is likely to register jumbo GDP-growth numbers in the second quarter of 2021. Research by Nicolas Woloszko of the OECD, a rich-country think-tank, gives a hint of what is to come. He uses another type of real-time data, Google-search trends, to construct weekly GDP measurements for the G20 economies. In the final week of March American GDP was about 4% below where it would have been in the absence of the pandemic. That is the strongest figure in over a year, and far better than most other rich countries.
Many forecasters are now expecting GDP growth of 6% or more in 2021. If that happens, then it will not come as a surprise if America notches up monthly jobs gains of 1m or more in future employment reports. The unemployment rate could be near its pre-pandemic rate fairly soon.
Yet two factors could spoil the party. One relates to economic “scarring”. Some economists worry that the pandemic has damaged America’s productive capacity. If lots of businesses have gone bankrupt, then even with buoyant demand many Americans will not have jobs to go back to.
So far there is no compelling evidence of a wave of insolvency. In 2020 total commercial bankruptcies were about 15% lower than the year before. Extensive fiscal support offered by the federal government has helped firms pay their bills, while many landlords have offered rent concessions. Bankruptcies have remained low so far in 2021, but no one really knows whether or not they will rise in the coming months, as fiscal support ends and landlords seek to make up for lost time.
The second factor relates to fears that infections could take off again, despite the momentum behind vaccination. There are particular concerns about coronavirus variants, such as one first found in Britain, which spread more easily (though the prevalence of the “British variant” has not stopped cases tumbling in Britain itself, where, as in America, vaccination has been proceeding apace). Cases of covid-19 in America are now rising again. Some places, such as Chicago and New Jersey, have paused reopening.
That is slowing the recovery, but not yet stopping it. Widespread vaccination has weakened the link between infection and hospitalisation. In Michigan and Florida, two states with high levels of the British variant, the Google-Economist economic-activity index has lost steam in recent days, though it is still stronger than it was in the first quarter of the year. There will be setbacks along the way, but expect the good economic news to start piling up. ■

'Yippee!' Trump Officials Gloated After They Manipulated CDC Reports And Advice
You are talking to at least 2 people on this thread Floki.
South China Morning Post is not A Communist Chinese source. Truth be told other people have made the argument as well. You could look it up, but you won't, you will rely on NYT, WaPo, CNN or some other suitable wingnut "news" source.
America will not be fine, because of fucking turds like yourself.
Getting back to the SCMP. It is not a CCP mouth piece. But give it 2 decades and it might be, if or when the balance of power changes. If or when Taiwan is taken, the CCP will re-evaluate their plans.
Flucki,
"The upshot is that America is likely to register jumbo GDP-growth numbers in the second
quarter of 2021."
WNU did talk of helicopter money, which means certain things in the near future and other things afterwards. Once again you engaged in shallow thinking and copy and paste. You are still pasting and coloring outside the lines.
You realize that the Huffpo went bankrupt and Verizon sold it to Buzzfeed to get it off their hands and being such a drag.
Doesn't bother him, he's still listening to Joan Baez sing about Joe Hill.

SAD.
Keep telling yourself that, hahahahaha!
TFIB took control of the Atlanta ballots and shredded them.
SAD.
The shredded ballots were made in the Martian bunkers and dropped in a cornfield in Iowa to be picked by Latinx operatives who work undercover as sous chefs in Ames.
The shredded ballots were made in the Joe Biden's asshole by Hillary and driven by Bill to the count centers. The FBI wanted to take custody, because Joe's DNA was all over them.
