Historic moments in Presidential Speeches: FDR: "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself." JFK: "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." Trump: "It wasn't my fault."

Unfortunately, that also appears to apply to Biden's response about the Afghanistan pullout. Hopefully this weekend I'll get around to reading the White Houses' version of things (released a few weeks ago), but I hear that that's at least part of it.
I saw a "good" political cartoon about that a few weeks ago: Biden holding an axe next to a cut down Afghanistan tree, saying, "I had to, he (Trump) gave me the axe."

well here's why John Roberts doesn't care about ethics violations and bribery on the Supreme Court. Do 'conservatives' go to crime school or something? Is that a thing?
Jane Roberts was paid more than $10 million by a host of elite law firms, a whistleblower alleges. At least one of those firms argued a case before Chief Justice Roberts after paying his wife hundreds of thousands of dollars. Details of Jane Roberts' work come as Congress struggles to reform the Court's self-policed ethics.
"When I found out that the spouse of the chief justice was soliciting business from law firms, I knew immediately that it was wrong," the whistleblower, Kendal B. Price, who worked alongside Jane Roberts at the legal recruiting firm Major, Lindsey & Africa, told Insider in an interview. "During the time I was there, I was discouraged from ever raising the issue. And I realized that even the law firms who were Jane's clients had nowhere to go. They were being asked by the spouse of the chief justice for business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there was no one to complain to. Most of these firms were likely appearing or seeking to appear before the Supreme Court. It's natural that they'd do anything they felt was necessary to be competitive."

Republicans read this and think ‘yeah what we need here is more guns to make the libs really cry.’
NEW: A Texas man firing an AR-15 in his front yard killed five people in a neighboring home after they asked him to stop shooting because a baby was sleeping. Police said all were shot execution-style; the youngest victim was 8-years-old. #txlege

He looks like someone who came when Trump was president and failed to build the wall as promised and murdered people with a legally purchased firearm.
Thanks Reps!
This place sounds like the dream of a Republican America. Kudos, TX! Stand your ground! More guns to make the place the most Americanest place of all!
Nearby resident, Veronica Pineda, spoke with KTRK and said she has grown accustomed to neighbors shooting firearms in the area.
"There's always shootings, there's always shooting," she said to KTRK. "There's always people calling the cops and there's nothing being done."
She said that neighbors would frequently shoot firearms on weekends and holidays and that the sound of gunshots overnight was normal.
"We were in bed and my kids -- I have two babies -- they got scared, and we're like, 'it's normal they're always shooting.'"
She said she did not know the alleged shooter well but she would wave to him when he would pass by with his horses.
He is a Mexican national. Homeland Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas said the border is not open (despite the fact that millions of illegals have come here illegally). How can the border be secure when millions of illegals are crossing every year? This Mexican national slaughtered 5 family members after they asked him to be quiet because a baby was sleeping. Shot them execution style. I am sure the George-Soros backed DA will probably dismiss the murder charges against this guy. Democrat Crime Blotter.
Outside of bouncebacks from recessions, the world economy is growing at among its fastest rates of the current century.
Thanks, Joe and globalism. Well done.

Funny you mention the Q1 of 2023 for Global GDP being 4% when America's GDP (annual) is projected to be only 1.1% FOR THE YEAR. Contrast that with the Q3 of 2021(when Trump was president) of America when it was about 36%. How the US economy has shrunk since Biden became president. Most of us year for the Good Ole days.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 1.1 percent in the first quarter of 2023 (table 1), according to the "advance" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter, real...

I've blocked Sally's trollage for quite a while now and only see it when s/he's quoted by someone else, but this one was funny. Well played, SV.
(And how people can think that SV is not a troll is still beyond me.)
I find agip to be a troll with his constant positive BS about the moribund economy muddled with historic inflation and its concomitant negative effect on people of average means. The chipper outlook he sells to this board reminds me of the insipid Krassensteins who make a living from attacking each and every one of 45's social media posts. Everything is not okay. Every single time I go to the store I am reminded of this. I am lucky to have a job and agip's constant posting about how rosy everything is going just really burns my britches. My life sucks and its Biden's fault and I have to say agip's trolling gets me every time. You win buddy.

Fetterman, unemployment has basically never been lower. You are not lucky to have a job. Thanks to the rude health of the economy, anyone who wants a job can have one.
Sure, inflation has been a problem. ALL AROUND THE GLOBE. The good news is that inflation is lower in the US than in most of our peer nations and of course our incomes are far higher too.
The other good news is that inflation is falling, and by the Fed's favored measure is running at around 3.1%. There are many measures of inflation - that's just one.
If a Republican were president you'd be melting with praise for this economy.
Mark Jacob @MarkJacob16 Would Republicans really resort to crashing the economy to grab power in 2024? Well, they appointed fake electors and incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol in 2020, so ... yes. The answer is yes.
