Professor Prettypaws searches the internet for why his suit and left foreleg have merged.

This will also help on immigration fears. Most Americans aren't outrageous bigots who worry about the great replacement conspiracy. They do, however, worry about the effect of uncontrolled immigration when unemployment is high or wages are low. With this economy, fewer voters are going to give two shits about OMG BORDER INVASION!!!

If you work for a mainstream media outlet and you try to type “STRONG JOB NUMBERS…” Into a headline, the computers have been programmed to automatically insert “DESPITE RECESSION FEARS,” immediately after it. They’ll take it off when a Republican is back in the White House, because the boss man wants his tax cuts.

Biden “America’s economy is the strongest in the world”

WaPo rates this statement as Bottomless Pinocchios as it does not include many smaller economies like HOAs and businesses who carry far less debt.

Huh. It's almost as if the Republicans are lying about the state of the economy to improve their election chances! But...would they do such a thing??

I was just looking at these charts yesterday. The economy was pretty good under Trump, though I still argue it's because he jumped in front of Obama's parade and claimed it as his own. If you take out the two pandemic years, Jan 2020 - Jan 2022, in the top two charts, we're basically right back on track like nothing ever happened.

Everything was going great until the flat tire, the throwing away of the spare tire, the not calling of a tow truck.... Anyone can sit on their ass and stay out of the way. Trump made things worse by actively screwing up the governance needed to address the crisis.

EXACTLY. Trump literally THREW OUT the US Government's official pandemic response procedures because it came from "That guy's" administration. Talk about cutting off your nose in spite of your face!
