Totally agree. Did the posters here afford Biden the same grace the first two years of his administration?

MAGA loves to take credit for any wins, but the loses are always someone else’s fault.

I’ll give you that. He inherited a mess in 2020. Unfortunately he was talked into ripping open the border and opening the door to endless crime and fraud.

I think there will be some economic pain with all of the fraudulent businesses, subsidies, etc. being eliminated. But it should clean things up in the long run and get us back to some sense of financial responsibility. That’s an admittedly optimistic POV.

"loses", LOL.

Biden inherited the world's top economy in January 2021. The stock market had fully recovered as had GDP. The recovery was thanks almost exclusively to RED states and no other western nation rebounded like Donald J. Trump's USA. He was called a murderer for wanting to re-open the USA in March 2020. Blue states didn't care about their moronic citizens - their job was to make them suffer so that they could fraudulently elect Joe.

Biden and Dems CHOSE to continue the Emergency spending, in fact they made it PERMANENT.

Biden also inherited 3 DEATH JABS - one of which you took. These jabs allowed many to feel "safe". Biden was given a great situation and like everything else, never underestimate Joe's ability to "f things up" - B.O.

But, you are a deranged fool. Trump, Trump, Trump. Enjoy lower gas prices, enjoy eggs that aren't insane. Enjoy US forces not being blown up as we tucked tail and ran from Kabul.

Not sure what is more funny, this crash out that even includes a capitalized “death jab” reference, or the fact that you legitimately think things are more affordable. Affordability is a hoax! LOL

Sounds a lot like Big Will’s story
You are particularly vile.

My Mother and Father were married at the Methodist Church in Asbury Park, NJ by Dad's adoptive Father a Presbyterian Minister, a man so loved in his Ministry a book was written about his life.

When they were married in the 1930's, after Mom's 16 th birthday, 100 % legal in the then ALL 48 States.

When she passed at 92 with Mary Anne and I holding her hand, I spoke to her.

"Stop fighting Mom, Dad is waiting for you."

She smiled a huge smile and passed from this life !

A grown man marrying a 16 year old is what is vile.

Syracuse gets so much snow that long time residents keep "snow cars", that they only register and drive in the wintertime.

The Road Depts use a mix of sand and salt to spread on the roads. The mix is so caustic to cars underbodies and sheet metal that they rust out huge holes !

America First! LOL


Didn't Ukraine get ~$60 billion from the Biden admin? Less than a billion seems pretty reasonable, in comparison.

$60 billion from Dems - "protecting US interests"
less than 1 billion from the Trump admin - "I thought Trump was America first! Look at all the $ he is sending to Ukraine and Israel!"

Dems are going to battle with each other over the messaging here. Then they will tell us we need to dump endless money into Ukraine if they are back in office in 2028.

There was zero oversight in the Biden admin. Anytime the govt is in charge of a program, just know there will be a ton of fraud involved. It's almost like that's intentional.

Pretty funny thinking back about how people thought DOGE would not find fraud, and that there wasn't really that much fraud in govt programs like Medicare and Medicaid. I think we are just starting to understand how much fraud there is. Going to be some pain cleaning it all up.

I don’t think we should send any.
