Thank you, President Biden! Where is that huge recession conservatives have been crying about for three years?

reply

With inflation back to normal they have nothing to pin on old Joe except his age and he still makes far fewer gaffes than the intentional monstrosities continually spewing forth from orange jesus!
Proud vermin here.

reply

You cannot even approach this claim in the fact & logic universe. The fact that Trump would say Biden has the worst economy and is the worst President when we all have eyes tells us that any attempt to discuss that pumps it out of the sewer and into mainstream media. Being a Republican only consists of closing one's ears and yelling Trump, Trump, Trump. It's mass hysteria.

reply

Go out you front door and you'll find it.

Where's the student loan debt being canceled that Biden promised for years?

reply

It’s so quiet here you can hear a tumbleweed roll across the road.

reply

You might want to get your hearing checked.

reply

That's odd, everyone around me has gone back 10 years and saying "...in this economy..." again unironically, like O'Bama is back in office and it's 2014.

Your Internet Scripture doesn't seem to be getting out of the cybersphere and into the general population's active mindsets.

reply

hahaha, which "satirical news website" did you obtain that information from?!

reply

Leftists will believe anything. It must be the drugs..

reply

What sources do you refer to that dispute those numbers?

reply

Left and Right act the same as a moderate Indepedent i just point and laugh.

reply

If you think left and right have the same policies you are an ignorant fool. Please don't vote.

reply

Why does a donut cost 60% more than in 2019?

Asking for a fat friend.

reply

It's called inflation, dude. It's contstant (woe to the economy that has DEflation), accepted, and was higher than historical norms in 2022 due to the disruption of oil supplies from the war and supply chain issues caused by the pandemic. It's pretty much back to normal (3.5% per Fed Reserve Bank) for 2023. You can find some outlier like your donut shop or some other price gougers (or perhaps they're finally charging more to pay fair salaries?) but it's a dead issue come 2024.

reply

Why did a wheel of brie cheese go up 45% since last year?

I got questions. You don't got answers for the real world.

Sell your pro government propaganda to another.

reply

Brie cheese and donuts-- nice diet you got there. Stick to more basic comestibles and you'll feel a much lighter pinch on your wallet, lol!

reply

I didn't mention meat prices because everyone knows about those.

Do you get paid to lie for the government or is it just a hobby?

reply

Are you too small to acknowledge that the war has made grain prices skyrocket--thus the increase in beef prices? Do you think it's all a government-directed collusion by meat-packers (or, gasp!, they're just passing on increased cost of business? Damn you Capitalism!)

reply

Not sure what planet you're on but on this one, we have greedy people.

Not long ago, with no wars going, a few major grocery store chains got busted for illegally setting the price of bread.

But I guess you gotta sing whatever song your masters tell you to sing right?

reply

You ARE too small to acknowledge that the war has made grain prices skyrocket! Some racketeering claim from decades ago has nothing to do with it. Seems like every other sentence of yours is an ad hominem attack, so bye!

reply

the war has made grain prices skyrocket!

Did you thank Joe for that?

Seems like every other sentence of yours is an ad hominem attack

That is literally all you leftoids do on this forum, so don't whine and cry when you receive the same treatment.

reply

If it's so great then Biden will have an easy time winning the 2024 election. If he doesn't win then reporting was bogus and can't be relied upon.

reply

Makes you wonder why he doesn't want to face Trump head on.

I mean, everyone paying $40.00 for a package of chicken will be so excited to vote for him again.

reply

God, you people are retarded. Ignorant, blind, deaf and stupid. You believe so fervently in the narrative that no shred of truth penetrates your bubble of bullshit.

reply

So says the retard who still thinks the 2020 election was stolen by the Democrats. 🤣

reply

Is that really dumber than thinking that Biden controls the weather?

reply

It was stolen. I don't think, I know. I watched it happen. If it didn't happen at the polls, it happened through 6yrs of anti-Trump propaganda. It's easy to convince you idiots of things that aren't true. You fall for every climate hoax that comes along. They parade a so-called "expert" on the news and you buy it all hook, line and sinker. No critical thinking whatsoever and you call us dumb.

reply

They shifted an exact amount from Trump to Biden before our eyes and only the NPC-leftoids didn’t see it.
That was the ultimate demonstration of brainwashed-denialism.

reply

They don't want to see it. They want to win at any cost. They really don't give a shit about "democracy" at all.
