Having spent the money on things that neither stimulate the economy or provide future economic growth, we are Hated throughout the world, losing the programs needed to hold up the poorest among us, deporting the labor class, may actually have a population decline because influx of immigrants is near zero . . .

It is hard to know what has improved besides billionaires bank accounts.

I cannot understand why so many people refuse to see this.

We are over $35 trillion in debt. No way that gets paid back. O I am feeling wistful over the years when Clinton ran a surplus.

He seeks to destroy this nation entirely. And the MAGAt traitors stupidly (in the majority case, or selfishly in the minority case -- in the manner of carrion scavengers) enable him at every turn.

Whether he is merely a malignant narcissist sniffing his own mortality and enraged by it or instead a knowing puppet of a hostile foreign power in possession of videos of him sexually assaulting minors is largely immaterial in the face of the fact that HE IS DOING IT and tens of millions of Americans have been helping him.

They have 50% more to go to hit mission accomplished. Look at what they have done in one year.

They were handed the keys and they're going to tear down everything - back to the New Deal (if possible), the original sin of Liberalism.

We need to get out the vote in the midterms and stop this onslaught.

he has done to all his failed businesses. He's really quite the master of destruction.

What was the Red Menace of the Cold War? That a pack of radicals would take power, upend our institutions and way of life, take away our freedoms, diminish us in every way, and treat dissent like it was treason.

They're everything the Commie Boogeyman was supposed to be, without being commies (unless you count "socialism for the rich&quot .

-- unilaterally declared war on drug cartels,

But the 22 million who pay more or give up healthcare insurance entirely won't remember that stuff in 2026. And those who do will likely be too sick and disheartened to vote.

That's like calling the Berlin Wall a great accomplishment of the DDR

tool of trade war with former trade partners and allies. We're Democrats. Of course we don't think their successes are what they think they are. But their base believe their spin. The main thing WE know is they stole Americans' money in the trillions and handed that over to their oligarch owners.
