this might be a good moment to point something out. the jobs that were lost under Trump might have stayed lost if not for the additional stimulus. if you look at the jobs growth graph, it APPEARS to have stalled out in the last three months under Trump, when 738k jobs were added (less than 250k/mo). under Biden, there has only been ONE month below 400k. if the question then becomes "would Trump have added fewer jobs than Biden", i think it is reasonable to assume that the answer to that is YES. and that comes from the economic data under his administration. in the first three years under Trump, FEWER jobs were added than under the last three years of Obama. data.bls.gov/timeseries/ces0000000001?output_view=net_1mth |

Well things just get crappier for Trump. His company’s accounting firm, Mazars, just announced that the financial statements they created for Trump Inc for the last 10 years are not reliable. What does this mean? Our good friend George Conway explains here: www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-s-accounting-firm-might-have-handed-over-half-a-million-files-to-prosecutors/ar-AATScai“Elsewhere, Conway suggested that for Trump, having 10 years of financial statements essentially pulled by his accountants is "worse for him than getting impeached twice." Asked to clarify on CNN, Conway added: "The worst thing to happen to an impeached president is they are removed from office and they go back to doing what they did in private life," Conway said. "This is his private life. "All these financial statements are worthless to him, and there's no likelihood that he's going to be able to find another accountant to fix this problem.” Of course, Trump made a statement that this letter from Mazars proved that his statements were legally done and all of this investigation is moot. Sure, sure it does.  |

the cult got even smaller this week when Trump PRAISED Putin.
this is in defiance not only of US opinion, but world opinion (which, of course, doesn't matter to the cult).
oddly, it seems to have hurt Biden's approval numbers. he is now getting near to 40% on average.

I don't know if you noticed, but some GOPers have taken to the airwaves to call Biden weak. They include Pence and Meghan McCain. Meghan started off OK by praising her father and then got lost in the weeds trying to fling her talking point poo. Pence, well Pence just doesn't seem credible at all when talking about weakness or strength. But there are many out there pretending the non-GOP President is weak, at best they are showing how ignorant of world politics they are, and how far they should be from US federal leadership in the future. The sound biter part of our population will have some people assume Biden is weak simply based on the headlines. No surprise it is affecting current polls. |

Trump is running an ad for Perdue, and he starts off saying ‘Kemp betrayed us two years ago.’
He just won’t let that Big Lie go.

There goes Trump muspronouncing words again. Trump meant whining because he certainly has been. 3. "We've been doing a lot of winning." |

1984 is looking less and less like a dystopian work of fiction.

And I'm sure you will vote for Trump like you did in 2016 and 2020. It's the very un-American thing his cult members do. |

AND, DeSantis & Scott were both beating him in another poll a few days ago. Polls don't really tell us much...they can change in a split second! |

Watching the GQP and their chucklefuck cult followers cheer on Putin is just another nail in the coffin of the Republican party. Hopefully that fucker will be nailed shut with so many nails that no one can crawl out ever again.

That only confirms it’s a cult indeed. when asked why they like Trump, they OFTEN say "because he tells the truth". really? when? i have actually not witnessed him telling the truth in some time. he lies at least once a minute, as far as i can tell. |

Many seem to be acting like Trump. Why they are not expelled from Congress says much about the Republican party. Taking to them time and time again just doesn't seem to work. GOP leaders condemn colleagues for attending white nationalist event
Days after GOP Reps. Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared at an event organized by a white nationalist, Republican party leaders are condemning them for attending. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell released a statement Monday criticizing white supremacist hate. "There's no place in the Republican Party for white supremacists or anti-Semitism," McConnell said in a statement first reported by Politico. Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters Monday afternoon that he found Greene and Gosar's attendance "unacceptable." McCarthy suggested to reporters that he plans to speak with both Gosar and Greene later this week. "To me, it was appalling and wrong," McCarthy told reporters. "There's no place in our party for any of this." "The party should not be associated any time any place with somebody who is anti-Semitic...This is unacceptable," he added. McCarthy was in Israel last week with a congressional delegation. He told Punchbowl News that the news of Greene and Gosar's attendance was particularly upsetting because of his recent visit. Greene and Gosar have both previously been stripped of their committee assignments for their egregious behavior.
