I remember Gerald Ford's "Whip Inflation Now" buttons, which were highly effective. My mother blamed Jimmy Carter for the inflation of the 1970s, when I asked her why Ford had those buttons printed up, she had no idea. I guess Jimmy borrowed Barack's time machine and went back to Nixon's days in office.

Ha ha...I mentioned those buttons above. I asked my Republican mother why she thought Ford had those buttons made up, if her assertion that Jimmy Carter caused the inflation of the 1970s was true. She had no response.

I loved when Trump inherited an economy creating 250,000 jobs per month, he immediately took credit for it.

Economy booming, with high demand causing inflation - news story is "why this is bad news for Biden."

Nobody mentions wages up, people going out and spending money, etc...

The baby shark at least is intelligible.

There's only 2 or 3 companies that make it, and one or two of them had a huge recall and several plants were shut down, which is why we should get rid of the FDA. Who needs dumb regulations?

That's long been the case at Penn State

I really wonder what the point of the kissy bots is? I've noticed my computer running slowly recently, and I keep thinking the kissy bots might be Russian tracking bots. Not that I'm paranoid or anything!

Unfortunately, it's way too late for us to do anything about it. People should have voted in 2016 for the right candidate. Oh, well!

Doesn't mean they're not out to get you. ;)

...and then left office with fewer jobs than when he started, but that's obviously the Democrats' fault.

Logical consistency isn't important - only ideological purity.

OMG OMG OMG *that* is Baby Shark??!!!

I feel soooooooooooo sorry for all the poor parents who got caught in that vortex of STOOPID.

Also too? Way to push heteronormative families, Baby Shark peeps. Complete with stereotypical "woman" and "old people" voices, and all the sharks are pretty clearly white, too - or at least sing with a wypipo accent. What is this regressive bullshit?

And no, I will not watch more episodes of Baby Shark to find out I am wrong. My life is already destroyed by that fucking earworm.

(whimpers - doo doo doo doo doo do! doo doo doo doo doot doot!)

They could just lie about it and say that it's still at record highs. It's not like the people who listen to them will actually check.

But what if it also was Paw Patrol?

Baby Shark is SO much more rewarding.
