    What’s truly “stunning” is that so many people actually thought he was going to better on the economy, in the first place.

        A guy I work with actually cited that as proof that he was smart, since he actually walked away free and clear after making a ton of money off the deal. Apparently, even bankruptcies are considered “successful” now.

          LOL, dumbass donnie talked about low gas prices before he came into office the second time and just a few days ago said high gas prices will make us a lot of money.

          Consistency is not really something that conservatives do…

      Guess they were not watching him in the first term, LOL.

      But then, they don’t really look at how W handled things, either.

        Trumps first term got saved by Jerome Powell. Economy wise he didn’t do anywhere near as much damage as this time around. On top of handing out covid checks and printing money like crazy people think he did an ok job even though JPow was holding the economy together with scotch tape.

          That’s the irony, isn’t it? The bumbling fool would have been even worse off if it wasn’t for the guy he’s trying to have investigated for bullshit reasons.

          Did he even say thank you once? Where is James Bowman when Donvict could really use him?

    “Independents” don’t really exist anymore. There are non-voters, and people who won’t admit they’re Republican.

      Ain’t that the truth. Most especially that last part.

      They are more properly called reactionary centrists. And boy, do they looooove Murc’s Law. That’s the tell.
