I remember when Seth used to be funny.

I remember when the GOP was a reasonable alternative political party and advocate for small government and individual freedoms. All things end.

Bad is being to nice

he is a bad joke that keeps on giving to the point where you become numb and accept that all the trump jokes are no longer funny and reality sets in that you will remember his name for eternity.
then you meet a little boy whose name is Donald and you do not want to laugh because he is just a kid. His parents named him. Its not his fault.

thus Donald Trump will be the gift that keeps on giving. Eating away in the back of your head until one night you wake up screaming.

 

[lafayette]

Yes, he was that bad times 1000.

 

[para bellum]

Caused the longest government shutdown in US history

Not nearly long enough...

President with most days of gov't shutdown? Any guess?

Jimmy Carter, 56 days.

I remember when the GOP was a reasonable alternative political party and advocate for small government and individual freedoms. All things end.

That was more than 50 years ago – before Republicans embraced the Christo-fascist right, racists and bigots, and illiberal, authoritarian fascists.

When I got to”fired the FBI chief investigating Trumps ties to Russia”, I stopped reading. That was a fabrication pushed……by the FBI. So the stuff on this list are lies. The older I get, the more I detest lies

 

[lafayette]

Then stop telling them, Mashmont.

 

[krichton]

Yawn. Such a litany of lies.

Trump was perhaps the greatest first-term president in history. He did it all: created a booming economy with low inflation, stopped illegal immigration, starved Islamic terrorist nations of cash, gave us energy independence, brought back manufactured, created alltime low unemployment for minorities, protected human life, rolled back regulations which created jobs and prosperity, rewrote trading deals with China to make them fair. Got America the COVID vaccine as promised. Wanted to open up the economy early once COVID started. Everyone now agrees his path would have been best. And he accomplished ALL these things while being harassed, sued, investigated by the left every single day. And he did it all for no pay, losing billions for the sake of the country. Truly an amazing man.

Then you compare him to the Marxist zero he's running against.

He didn't create shit. When Trump left office, he lost 180,000 manufacturing jobs. When he stumbled into office the economy was already on a steady upswing and he simply rode the wave and then took credit for it, like any con man. Look at gas prices and inflation the last 2-3 years before Obama left office. Both very low. Listen to how he speaks when asked about how he would improve the economy from lowering grocery prices, to childcare, to inflation, etc, and he immediately goes into drilling and tariffs. That's literally all he says, and but he never answers the question directly. Under Biden more oil has been produced in this country and then in any time in our history. Using Trump's logic shouldn't gas be lower than ever? Shouldn't energy be lower? Trump has no clue how the economy works, and if he doesn't know how to the economy works then he was not responsible for any "booming economy" when he stumbled into office. He's a con man and you're a rube.

When he stumbled into office the economy was already on a steady upswing

2016 Real GDP +1.8%.

Down from +2.9% in 2015.

Not exactly roaring.

1. DJIA lost ground in the 12 months before the 2016 election, so the economy was going nowhere. DJIA shot up 1000 points the week Trump was elected.
2. You don't blame Trump for job losses during COVID in states like NY and CA whose leftwing governors shut down those states.

 

[lafayette]

You blame the American people for electing the greatest political swindler in our history.

1. When Obama entered Office, the dow jones was approximately at 8,000. When he left office, it was just shy of 20,000. I'm not one to praise Obama on his economy, but if you're going to use the Dow Jones as your measuring stick, let's not pretend that it wasn't on the upswing regardless of a momentary one month dip, which went up the very next month. This is just an dishonest argument.
2. Trump lost nearly 50,000 manufacturing jobs a year before covid even happened and was continuing to bleed those same jobs up until covid hit and after.

Yeah, no one claimed it was, but facts are still facts. Trump rode the Obama economy the first 3 years and then used the pandemic as an excuse for why energy and gas was so low while he was president, even though we know that was fueled by historic lack of demand. Cmon.
