Subject: When YOU Say Biden's Economy Was "Booming" Or "Great", Just What, EXACTLY, Does That Mean?

We ALL know it's Trump at the forefront of trying to get our economy back on track after the disaster of the last 4 years, but
what, EXACTLY did Biden do or say to help the economy get to almost double-digit inflation, double gas pricing and pretty much an
overall shit-storm that saw people deciding whether to feed their babies or be able to buy gas for the car and food for
themselves?
If Biden was pretty much incapacitated, and YOU know he was... how did the economy "boom" under HIM?
You nerdy fuckers STILL think a booming "market" is the bellwhether for a booming economy.
The stock market "is not the economy." - Rudy Canoza
It is not. If the market's booming, but the people are starving or can't afford food, gas or housing, HOW is THAT a "booming"
economy.
It is not. People who are invested in the market make money, but the PEOPLE don't. That is NOT a "booming economy".
Under Biden prices on everything went up, and some people didn't know whether to buy gas or groceries.
A reminder:
"The Democrats still seem confused as to why they lost this election. They want to think it has something to do with misogyny or
racism. Well, let me clear it up for those still bewildered Democrats. You lost, because you tried to tell the American people
that the economy was great when they couldn't afford to buy groceries. You lost, because you ran a moron (Harris) in place of a
president you knew was a corpse attached to a car battery. You lost because you lied about January 6th (in general), calling it
worse than Pearl Harbor or 9/11. You lost because (YOU said) men (CAN) have babies, women don't have dicks and free speech isn't
a privilege like a driver's license. It's a God-given right guaranteed by our Constitution.

The richest 0.1% own 17% of stocks
The richest 1% own 50% of stocks
The bottom 50% own 0.7% of stocks
Repeat after me: "The stock market is not the economy."
WE will be fine.

Some doofus: Am I the only one who finds it ironic that after crashing the US economy...
The stock market is not the economy. I want to say it again. The stock market is not the economy. Where have I heard that from?
Oh yeah, when Trump's stock market went through the roof during his 1st 4 years, we were told not to take that as any kind of
indication on how well he's doing because, well, the stock market is not the economy. I learned that in school before the
Department of Education came in, so.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
