I mean we all knew he was going to say this. Why do we even bother asking anymore?
I don’t think anyone asked, he threw some burgers at the wall and somebody read it like tea leaves

The GDP last year was positive all around under Biden. I wonder what could possibly have changed in US this year to cause this stark reversal.
Thanks Obama!
Yes, comrades, Emmanuel Goldstein has struck again. Obviously this is all his doing.
You know, I made the exact same comment and made the exact same prediction yesterday, while watching their dumbass “first 100 days” press breifing. I would normally say that great minds think alike, however the damn book was not supposed to be an instruction manual.
Sounds to me like someone is getting a little bit yippie?
When the Trumpers crawl through the rubble Trump has turned their country into, they’ll still think “how could Biden ever do this to us?”
That’s what they’ll be told to think and they’ll believe it. It was the Biden Deep Dish State.
He completely transparent to us, but the vast majority of Republicans eat this up. A mob of 77 million eager wpuld-be nazis is lending him a lot of momentum, it seems.
I would normally agree with the general sentiment that the POTUS gets both too much value and too much credit for the economy, and that particularly early in a term we are usually still seeing the results of older policy.
Except that in Trump’s case he has spent the first 100 days in office implementing policies with nearly universal agreement that there will be an immediate negative impact. Drastic, nonsensical EO’s like mandating commerical truck drivers speak English. The tarrif nonsense. Threatening global war with the talk of annexing Greenland, Canada, and Mexico. Etc.
Irony is, a lot of his policies existed through Biden’s term and just expired recently. Trump is literally blaming himself.
Yep, part of the reason Biden lost is that he didn’t make any major changes to economic policy (aside from stuff like COVID-19 relief spending and the Inflation Reduction Act). By not reversing Trump-era polices (let alone making policy in the other direction, to rein in corporate power and reduce wealth inequality), Biden failed to materially improve the economic prospects of the working class and thus left them vulnerable to Trump’s demagoguery.
Didn’t Trump at one point claim Joe wasn’t actually doing anything and it was Trump that was running the country in the 2020 term?
Authoritarians always paint their opposition as simultaneously weak and incapable, and strong and manipulative.
Yeah, and a lot of his toothless base thought the same thing, that he “really” won and that Biden was just a puppet there who would step aside for “The Storm” to take all the Big Bad Ebil Liberals/Pedophiles (but in this stupid Qnut narrative, the Venn diagram of pedophiles and prominent Democrats is one circle) off to Gitmo and let donvict reign supreme like the orange god-emperor he was meant to be.
I wish this was from The Onion. They are very, very fucking stupid and they found their perfect match in donvict. If anyone needs to understand just how fucking stupid the base is, one only need to study something like “pizzagate”.
It actually is kinda Biden’s fault. See, under Biden, the economy actually grew last year, which is why this makes Trump look so bad.
Also, that he ran for 2024, which is at least part of what allowed the current situation…
“Biden is to blame for the economy. If he didn’t drop out and then he won the election, none of this would be happening right now, and I wouldn’t be blamed.” -tRumpo
Also, and perhaps most importantly, that he appointed a do-nothing conservative attorney general who slow-walked prosecuting Trump for the coup attempt (among other things) instead of actually upholding the rule of law.
Trump shouldn’t have been able to run in 2024 in the first place because he should’ve been hanged for treason in 2021.
As long as his lies are allowed to spread nothing will get better.
Someone needs to muzzle that dog!
lol bitch got BDS
Giving him the headlines for saying shit like this is, exactly what he desires. Because it works.
That’s why I like the rule you put up in your politics community about only posting things he’s done or actually doing.
Thanks Sir Patrick. :) Unfortunately, I had to lock it and have me as the only one posting. It was really hard to get people to understand what that meant.
Oh, I didn’t realize that (Just though you were the most active).
I always appreciated that it was smaller and was a bit of a hidden gem. This community gets…charged a little too often (that’s an intentional understatement lol). The only other one I kind-of liked was Beehaw’s, but lately it’s just a lot of knee-jerk comments of little substance.
If you ever decide to re-open it, I’m not interested in modding, but I can be sure to report things.
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind and I appreciate the kind words. I set it up to kind of keep track and share if people were interested. It was getting where people didn’t understand the vibe. It seemed they were well intentioned, but it just got too hard to keep saying the same things. I don’t want to ban people who are doing what they think is helpful either. It’ll probably stay locked.
But please, if you see people shit stirring or trolling, report it. I only ban for a few days for the non-serial or non-serious stuff anyway. It seems to keep the professional trolls away.
Thanks again.
SAD!
