The Republican propaganda that Trump "inherited" a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don't lie and people know what they are experiencing.[image or embed]

It's official, the GOP is completely incompetent when it comes to economic issues.

It was always known to people who aren't idiots, but it's unmistakable now.

That was declared official on this site at least 20 years ago.

He got into Jr's bolivian marching powder.

Sorry Donald but the $8 price tag on a box of triscuits I saw at my local grocery store earlier this week tells me otherwise. Of course Trump has probably never went grocery shopping in his entire life.

My wife's declarative statement upon seeing Trump last night: "He's on speed".

Trump is the nation's abusive father yelling at us that we don't understand he's made our lives so good for us. He's going to keep screaming until we love him or he's going to put usw all in camps.

4. The most important job in the US right now is presidential medication management, and they're doing a p!$$-poor job of it.

Only way I'd tune in to watch Donald on TV is if I knew he was going to get Kirked..

I get it that the president is a politician who is going to talk up accomplishments, minimize the setbacks, etc....typical speechmaking.

but Trump just trashed Biden and the democrats.

It was nothing but a pep rally for his base.

Except for the payments he offered to military personnel.

That might have been the only thing he said that wasn't divisive and combative.

And that is basically raising the military budget $2.5B for the year to try and buy votes from military personnel he is about going to get killed fighting Venezuela in his illegal war for oil and rare earth mineral that he believes they somehow stole from us.

The executive branch has access to all kinds of chemicals we can't even imagine to get that pendejo on an even keel. X&A is what's for breakfast in many US households.

I don't think the US is ready for full-time Thorazine Don, or whatever mind-control substances the DoD and CIA have in their arsenal.

Then again, properly placed knees can solve all kinds of problems. Like windows and staircases.

Cane out from where? This administration? And you believe it too I bet without question!

Well. I question anything and everything coming from this administration.

Has it been verified by at least 2 RELIABLE sources yet?

Nothing from this administration can be believed until it is verified.

I have never doubted Trumpanzee is on Addys... Xannis was a suggested possibility.

He's also had Covid... he could be suffering from Covid brain. It's like how Reagoonietunes snapped his showercap after the assassination attempt and went under the knife...both men had/have genetics and lifestyle as a predisposition.

It's another reason there needs to be an age restriction... It's not my future though...

Modern medicine has created so many monsters... cosmetics and mood enhancers

Not true.

He could care less about the troops. It's an obvious political ploy designed to divide us even further create more chaos and get the troops more malleable to his illegal orders.

Forget about your affordable healthcare America. It ain't happening.

America rots from the inside but hey ... the troops (that may be needed to control any potential unruly hungry unhappy protesters) will be happy for a moment.
