The last three months of 2024, while Biden was president, GDP was +2.4%. Biden left Trump one of the most stable and capable economies on the planet.

Within three months, Traitor Trump has wrecked the economic prospects of all Americans and begun backsliding US growth, -0.3%.

The fascist clown that can’t manage a bottle of water, operate an umbrella, or navigate a 10 degree ramp is gaslighting you.

Don’t believe what conservative fascists say, watch what they do.

The Narcissist Prayer by Dayna Craig

That didn’t happen

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad

And if it was, that’s not a big deal

And if it is, it’s not my fault

And if it was, I didn’t mean it

And if I did, you deserved it

“It will take a while“ sure it will take a while after Trump is out of office. Whoever comes after him will undo all the terrible things thathe has done, and then the economy will start to recover.

Ratchet politics. Repubs make everything shittier. Dems crank it back just enough to keep the guillotines at bay. And time marches on.

So this administration is incompetent, blaming their many failings on Biden. Or… this administration is incompetent, incapable from preventing that wily and tenacious Biden from sneaking back in and shuffling papers around overnight

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
