That Kirk could make a great living and become famous based on political bickering is a sad commentary on our country. That he was killed for it, a sadder commentary.
Two-thirds of the trillions in COVID relief spending was signed into law by Trump. As to spending on infrastructure bill and green energy? the vast majority of that hasn't happened yet. So which administration was responsible for inflation coming out of Covid?
An argument could be made that the shameless printing of spending of money in 2020 was necessary to keep the country afloat.
The shameless printing and spending Biden did in 2021 and 2022 was absolutely not necessary and directly caused inflation.
It would have been much much worse is Senators Manchin and Sinema didnt commit political suicide by stopping most of Bidens idiotic spending plans.
Sure, that argument could be made. It would be wrong.
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was passed on March 11, 2021. Inflation had already jumped in March from 1.7% to 2.6% and jumped above 4% in April. As we all know, inflation is a lagging indicator by 6+ months, so a bill passed mid-March is not the cause of the inflation observed under Biden. That was already well underway before the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (signed Nov. 15, 2021, when Trumpflation was already 7%) took effect.
In summary, only the dumbest members of the idiot cult blame Biden for the Trumpflation of 2021/2022, which was caused 100% by Trump's incompetent response to COVID (like, appointing Jared Kushner to lead the response).
The same posters that argued that Trump needed to gain a 2nd term to stop the killing and to save their children's lives are now filling the interwebs with civil war battle cries.
It is a mixture of Kayfabe and cult behavior. With a healthy does of stupidity.

Political violence is unacceptable. Unfortunately, the whole schtick of this guy and much of right wing media and Trump himself is anger, hate, and at least subtle insinuation that violence is the answer. Look at the response here from maga- the war is on, we're gonna get you now, etc. They have not found the killer so no motive is known, but this is already an excuse for maga threats of violence.
Well, Trump did not look good this morning at the 9/11 ceremony. His face is noticeable drooping and he appeared to be falling asleep. I hope he gets the medical attention he needs.
It is a coin toss as to whether Trump would start WWIII. He waivers from peace hippie to war tough guy by the day.
He claims to be the world peace president who has ended 7, 10, a dozen wars? I lose count. But he is also the president who says we should take over Greenland, Panama, and Canada. He supplies weapons for genocide to Israel and does nothing when they bomb a US ally with those weapons. He bombed Iran and Yemen. He blew up a Venezuelan boat with no information to back up his claims it was a drug boat. He has sent military into US cities. He renamed the DOD the Department of War. But he has NEVER done anything to cross Putin. So who knows.
Trump is a bully. A common trait of bullies is to punch down on people that can’t defend themselves. Look at all of Trumps targets. They are helpless. They are smaller nations. They are marginalized groups. Poor people without resources. Tradesmen can’t sue him to make him pay his bills.
But, Once a bully gets punched in the face they run
It is hard to imagine TACO guy staring a real national military threat in the face and not folding. He is more of a guy to blow up speed boats with 13 people.
Unfortunately, at least in part, he's a bully with a really powerful military at his disposal. He could do and get away with a lot of (rather successful) bullying, in our names.
And in a "soft" way, at least, he already is....and will for the next 3+ years.

But Trump being at the head of the line for the vaccine, but then hiding that fact for some time, was OK, right? Just checking.
I find it so annoying when even mainstream media bend of over backwards to give Trump credit for Warp Speed, especially when you then also balance it against all of the harm he did.
Leaders should get a lot of credit for decisions when they're either hard - tough pros/cons, risk/reward - or THEY actually came up with the idea. Warp Speed was neither.
Q: "Sir, should we go real fast on developing and fielding vaccines for the deadly, worldwide pandemic?"
A: "Yes."
No statues or awards earned.
But it is consistent with the harm he did. As I've said before, the vast majority of ALL citizens could have done a better job than Trump. And I'm not being hyperbolic. Literally just about everyone.
Suggestion: "Let the experts get their heads around this, and support them. If anything seems rash or wrong, sure, step in, tweak things. But mostly, stay out the way and occasionally say 'Presidential things' about the crisis."
Trump: "No. I'm a massively ignorant, dumb, insecure person. I'll do my best to f*** it up."
There may not be one in his cabinet but Trump himself is more than likely a pedophile and nearly guaranteed to be a rapist. Hegseth is questionable. I don’t believe he’s a pedophile but is probably a rapist.

Trump himself "is more than likely a pedophile" and "nearly guaranteed to be a rapist." Hegseth is "probably a rapist." Don't ever become a prosecuting attorney.
