It was pretty amazing how MAGA was bitching about the price of eggs and gas, while at the same time they were spending more money on frivolous crap than ever.

Fifteen seconds after he takes his hand off the bible the economy will suddenly be the best it's ever been, based on the same numbers.

Trump must be looking at the high homelessness numbers. The number made homeless by Bidenomics were unimportant until recently.

Or Trump could be looking at the prices of prescription drugs, which have ballooned even more than the high rate of Bidenflation.

Prices of prescription drugs fell under both of the last two administrations.

But that's in the real world, not in Trumpville.

What I've learned about you over this enormous length of time is that you have a steely-sharp understanding of what an incompetent fool Donald is. He's already washed his hands of things like hamburger, egg, or drug prices.

You're here to jeer. There's not much else to you.

Trump is the only president in the last 80 years with net job losses during his presidency.

Oops.

What's the over/under on how long it takes Epstein's bankruptcy-prone wingman to best the 15% unemployment rate he racked up during his first putrid presidency?

Thank goodness Trump has been reelected. The very second he's inaugurated the economy will be the best it's ever been and the border will be completely secure.

Is the putrid orange pedo going to release GQP heartthrob Derek Chauvin after taking office?

In about a month King Dotard II will declare "I fixed the economy" and the barking seals that are his minions, toadies and lackeys will cheer and applaud, just like they do in North Korea or the Peoples Congress in Beijing. Of course, the king then becomes owner of all that happens afterward.

And here's some news that cannot be called fake, per CNN:
The S&P 500 gained more than 23% this year after rising 24% in 2023. The back-to-back gains of over 20% is the best performance for the benchmark index since 1997 and 1998, according to data from FactSet. The S&P 500 is up by around 53% over the past two years, after a poor performance in 2022 that saw the index fall 20%.

The S&P 500 was up approx. 66.8% during the reign of Dotard I. During Diamond Joe Biden's presidency, the S&P is up 73.5%, even with a drop of 20% in 2022. Somehow that's bad.

Remember Covid? The unemployment rate went up a little more than a lot. It's now at 4.2%, which is close to full employment. I guess the only Americans who can't find work are the Red Hat Goon Squad, many of whom are too dense to find their way to a job.

The lies are about to begin in earnest. Dems and other free thinking Americans must stand ready to call the liars at every turn, and refute those lies with facts...

#17 great post

Problem now is that facts are an endangered species due to the decades long efforts of billionaire backed Republicans to destroy them in the Media.

Today facts are what President Musk and VP Traitor say that they are.

In a very few years J6 will only be remembered and taught as the New Beginning of the Glorious Second Coming of Saint Donald.

Visitor demonstrates precisely why MAGA is stupid enough to believe the bait and switch without even so much as a blink at its obvious sham status.

What a pathetic sack of s&^%.
