So… this constitutes sound reasoning to you?
It’s not tu quoque fallacy. You claimed it was. But you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

Any transgression from the left is a necessary evil; at least, that's my working theory on how the hypocrisy dissonance is resolved among Biden supporters.
It’s not a transgression. That’s like saying all Press releases are evil.
The Biden White House is within its rights to bring a topic to the attention of the press.
It’s nothing like the blatant collusion between Trump and FOX News

of a pathetically desperate attempt at a tu quoque.
You didn’t even apply the fallacy correctly
I would have to reject your argument because of your own personal hypocrisy to be called a tu quoque fallacy.
Double R rejected your argument Biden did something wrong because Trump inappropriately used the media at his rallies.

Biden asks news media to cover the Bogus impeachment inquiry
MAGA Moron objects claiming the request is inappropriate
MAGA Moron dismisses support for Biden’s action by saying “imagine if the Republicans did that”

Do you know the difference between a pundit/opinion commentator and a news anchor?
I do. FOX News watchers don’t. Because they’re dummies.

In the interview that aired Sunday, Welker asked Trump again if he would support a federal ban on abortions.

It's amazing how Inflation can drive people back to work when the costs of living outpace the stimulus.
Right, stimulus would incentivize people not to work if it hadn’t caused inflation. So the government caused inflation so people wouldn’t quit their jobs. That was diabolical

Also, you confuse pundits with news anchors.
So the FOX News prime time line up is all pundits. But they call themselves News and their viewers think they are getting news, but they’re not, right?

“But as the pandemic receded, so did the expanded credit’s chances of survival. In January 2022, Republicans and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin refused to extend it. The effects of the program’s end were immediate, driving 3.7 million more children back into poverty that month compared with the month before.“
“Critics argued the revamped policy was too costly and guaranteed monthly payments would discourage parents from finding work. But research showed the 2021 payments did not deter parents from working”

As I said before:
Inflation added to the problem but was secondary. Inflation was the result of supply chain disruptions caused in part by Trump’s

“And in the modern media environment, where every day liars and hucksters peddle disinformation and lies everywhere from Facebook to Fox, process stories that fail to unpack the illegitimacy of the claims on which House Republicans are basing all their actions only serve to generate confusion, put false premises in people’s feeds, and obscure the truth,” Sams added.“

I would like to know how the Washington Post defines a middle of the road voter.
Well you could probably start with registered independents or NPPs No Party Preference.
Then add people who use the adjective moderate - moderate Republican and moderate Democrat .
middle of the road - not too far left or right. Pretty self explanatory

“The income and poverty data released by the Census showed how deeply the country's recent economic outcomes were influenced by the COVID-19 health crisis and the government response to it -- with a measure of child poverty more than doubling following the expiration of pandemic-era child tax credits last year“
This is from your link genius. Do you doubt Republicans demanded the end to these tax credits?
Also, Inflation added to the problem but was secondary. Inflation was the result of supply chain disruptions caused in part by Trump’s
failure to respond to the Covid crisis.

“In recent days, Trump surrogates and allies pressured Republican senators not to impeach Paxton, posting names and phone numbers of potential impeachment swing voters and urging Paxton supporters to phone their offices.

On the one hand, Republican Congressman Ken Buck tells the truth about the nonsense the House has accused Biden of - getting Ukraine official Shokin fired to protect Hunter and help Hunter with his Energy company client Burisma.
Then out of the same mouth comes the bullshit that Trump should not have been impeached for Trump’s attempt to blackmail Ukrainian President Zelensky by withholding military aid unless Zelensky agreed to announce an investigation of the exact same story noted above.

“The national polls from Fox News and Quinnipiac University show Trump expanding his lead over DeSantis to 47 and 50 points, respectively. Those are Trump’s largest margins to date in high-quality national polls of the race. And thus his lead in the FiveThirtyEight polling average has expanded to a whopping 41 points.“
“While running hard to the right on issues such as vaccines and by using violent rhetoric, he has clearly and unambiguously alienated middle-of-the-road voters.“

No, it won't, and my biggest fear is the person that replaces Trump, who will have the capacity to be far more dangerous and calculating.
The biggest concern isn’t Trump, it’s Trump supporters. It’s a breakdown in responsible citizenship. People see a guy lying constantly, abusing power, rotating people through the Cabinet like it’s a minimum wage job, impeached twice, a tax cut for millionaires and billionaires, asking the FBI and Justice Department for “loyalty”, using fear and demagoguery, putting himself over the country during Covid, a subversive who undermines NATO and all our Democratic institutions including attacking judges, using bigotry to appeal to people’s worst instincts, telling a Big Lie to try and stay in power, and inciting an insurrection and these idiots say, yes give me more of that.
If Trump gets elected again, this very incompetent and authoritarian minded boob will surround himself with incompetent yes men.

“After President Donald Trump narrowly lost the state, Republican lawmakers raised complaints about the use of ballot drop boxes, absentee voting in nursing homes and other election policies. Over the next year, they consulted with conspiracy theorists and toyed with a discredited theory that lawmakers could revoke the state’s 10 electoral votes but turned up no evidence that would alter the results.“
Now they are trying to fire the head elections official for being too honest.
“Four years ago, the GOP-dominated state Senate unanimously confirmed Wolfe, who was appointed by an elections commission consisting of three Republicans and three Democrats. Republican lawmakers largely stayed out of her way as she and the elections commission navigated how to conduct the 2020 election amid the coronavirus pandemic”

In a call live-streamed on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo repeated comments made in a live event last week in Jacksonville, Fla., and argued there isn’t enough evidence that the booster’s benefits outweigh any risks. “I will not stand by and let the FDA and CDC use healthy Floridians as guinea pigs for new booster shots that have not been proven to be safe or effective,” DeSantis said in a statement after the call with Ladapo and other doctors, which opened with the title “No way FDA.”
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ladapo promoted unproven treatments, opposed vaccine and mask mandates, questioned the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, and spread miscellaneous falsehoods,[citation needed] contradicting professional medical organizations.[6][7][4] Ladapo has also opposed gender-affirming care and counselling for transgender and nonbinary minors.[8][9][10]
“Around early 2020, Ladapo began to write op-eds for The Wall Street Journal on the emerging COVID-19 pandemic, notwithstanding a lack of specialization in infectious diseases, and gained prominence as a skeptic of mainstream consensus on prevention and treatment.[4] In these columns, Ladapo promoted unproven treatments including hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, questioned the safety of vaccines, and opposed lockdown and mask mandates deriving from his "experience in treating COVID-19 patients at University of California, Los Angeles."[4][6][15][7][16] However, UCLA's staff scheduling roster did not have him assigned to treat any COVID-19 patients, and several of his colleagues said he had never treated any COVID-19 patient.[17][18] Later that year, Ladapo signed the Great Barrington Declaration, which argued for reaching COVID-19 herd immunity by the fringe notion of "focused protection", where the less vulnerable people were allowed to be infected.[16]
In December 2021, during an interview on the Fox Channel, DeSantis was asked directly whether he had received the booster. To which he responded thusly: “So, I’ve done, whatever I did. The normal shot. And that at the end of the day is peoples’ individual decisions about what they want to do.”
Lol, what a loser

That is not talking out of both sides of the mouth you Libertarian jackoff.
Unemployment is at an all time low. Many jobs in this country don’t pay a living wage. As a result we have the working poor. You for example. Your substitute teaching job does not earn a living wage. Lucky for you, you live in your mother’s house. Not everyone is so lucky and not everyone lives alone like you. Some Poor people have families and a real life.

Sucks to be poor. Your house is below average. But thanks to inflation you have some home equity. You should kiss Biden’s ass.
You should be grateful a guy living on a disability check can even get a mortgage. You should thank Democrats for your disability check.
Average home price in the United States: $416,100. The median home sales price is $416,100 as of the second quarter of 2023. That's a 26% increase from 2020, when the median was $329,000.
Home values are way up thanks to Bidenomics.
Created:
How is that reducing inflation when Americans can’t even afford homes.
The Federal reserve raised interest rates to combat inflation genius. When interest rates are low, for no good reason, home prices get inflated.
Do you understand the difference between the price of a home and a monthly mortgage payment?
Presidents do not dictate mortgage rates.
Because Trump mismanaged the Covid crisis, the economy was in turmoil. Supply chains got disrupted. Interest rates were kept low to help people weather the crisis.
But if you’re unemployed and living off the government with disability or social security then you don’t care if the unemployment rate is 16%.
