GOP's Talking Points are Having a Bad Summer

- Growth is strong
- Best recovery in G7
- Inflation/deficit way down
- Putin weakened, West revitalized
- Immigrant flow to border has plummeted
- Murder rates down
- Domestic oil production at all time high, gas prices down

I guess all they have is Hunter Biden's laptop and whining about being correctly pegged as semi-fascist. Sad.

January of 2021; "The Biden crash will happen by this summer!"

Summer of 2021; "Get ready for it, Folks! Start burying cash in the yard because Biden is after every penny! By Christmas, you'll be in the worst shape ever!"

At least twice a month, throughout 2022; "THE MARKET IS SIGNALLING IT COULD COLLAPSE ANY DAY NOW!".

All year long in 2023; "This is the worst economy since 1930! Americans are starving to death, some are resorting to cannibalism! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! OH, SWEET LORD TRUMP! PLEASE SAVE US....!".

And then you go out in the real world and there they are, dining out, cruising around in their boats, living in $500,000 homes and driving brand new SUVs.
Yeah, 1930......Soup lines and selling apples in the street.... Oh, STFU.

^^What JB needs is a good PR person, not sure who fits the bill on his team.
How can his approval ratings anywhere under 50%?
Even his one misstep in Afghanistan, it was partially Trump's fault.
Weakening Russia and stemming immigrant flow are huge accomplishments and this was done with very little drama.

And needless to say the MAGAts want to impeach Biden and Mayorkas, someone with a long history with DHS.

Him and all the Dems!

Quit thinking people are smart enough to figure it out.

They ain't!

Get down to the basics and explain as if to a six year old....

When one cannot accomplish things, people criticize others or downplay their accomplishments. This is very typical in the workplace.

Since the Bush II presidential selection, what has the Republican party accomplished?

2004, Assault weapon ban was reversed and now mass shootings are commonplace
2010, Citizens United permanently corrupting our elections and democracy
2022, Roe vs Wade repealed

Corruption of the Supreme Court, an Insurrection and now a corrupt immoral seditious moron is their candidate for yet another term to degrade America again.

Another problem in DeSatan's Florida: High inflation
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/anoth...143102723.html

Quote:
Living costs in Florida are now rising at more than twice the national average, according to the Labor Department’s latest inflation data. DeSantis and other Republicans have dinged President Biden for high inflation, but now the story is flipping. The nationwide inflation rate has dropped sharply during the last year. Floridaflation is stickier.

The year-over-year inflation rate in Tampa is 7.3%. In Miami, it’s 6.9%. Those two Florida cities now rank highest among 21 metro areas the Labor Department reports on every month. The nationwide inflation rate is 3%.
Oops. Whell's World.
