Yup. You keep believing that propaganda.

It's a very sad fact you believe Trump is fit for the Presidency when both candidates should be heading off to the retirement village.

And can you show me some stats that show the US economy is tanking? Or just more Trump propaganda.

Hell, can you post anything of substance other than a meme?

Apparently we aren’t allowed to see such shenanigans, might encourage a terrorist attack or something. .

To the bottom half of your post;

So what you're saying here is inflation is due to single issues outside of US control.

Absolutely nothing to do with oil drilling and exploration?
Nothing to do with NATO expansionism?
Nothing to do with the botched Afghanistan withdrawal?
Nothing to do Chinese aggression?

And absolutely nothing to do with global contempt for the current state of the US military?

Oh, don't forget open borders and investment insecurity on what's going to happen next.

Doo de-do de-dooo....

Inflation doesn’t have anything to do with any of those things. Too much money seeking too few goods = inflation.

Globalism is starting to be reversed now which will be inflationary as cheap labour won’t be making everything cheap anymore.

You sound like a Trump trumpeter.

Inflation is driven by many things and it is only one of many measures that show how an economy is fairing but you use it as a poor misguided attempt to make trump drivel sound true. You forget about job growth, wage growth etc. Trump wishes the economy would collapse and has said so because then it will aid his bid for the Whitehouse just like the GOP voting down a border security package last year that gave the GOP everything they wanted and then some because Trump doesn't want to actually fix the problem so it can become a election issue to aid his cause. Trump does not car about the people in the US or the economy or anything else. Trump only cares about getting back into power so he can get revenge. The single worst reason to elect a person.

So yeah, you can dooo dooo all you like but you just sound like a fool, a poor misguided trumpeter fool.

 

[marty351]

There was already a bill passed last year just for the border but for some reason that escapes memory... Oh that's right, the senate didn't do anything about it. Or was it something about adding more debt for no good reason.... Perhaps I'll hang that work of art by that upcoming artistic talent Hunter Biden (I could only afford the prints)
Maybe I'll take a holiday to Mexico and do a sightseeing tour of the USA for free! I might even get to vote for Trump AND get a free return ticket back home again!

 

[Immortality]

Just more propaganda. It's pathetic the best you can post are misleading memes.

BTW, how are those Hunter Biden charges going? or that Biden Impeachment?

LOL

You'll find the Senate but forward a bipartisan bill to the tune of some 118billion but the House speaker wouldn't put it on the floor for a vote.

Republicans kill border bill in a sign of Trump's strength and McConnell's waning influence

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell encouraged GOP senators to pass an immigration and Ukraine aid deal. Just four of them supported it. In the end, even he voted no.

www.nbcnews.com

Then not long ago, Mr Speaker decided to put forward various Bills for foreign security to the ire of one MTG who then tried to oust him as speaker (and failed).

The only thing the GOP can achieve is infighting and are in no state to actually lead the US.

 

[marty351]

Hell, can you post anything of substance other than leftist propaganda?

Playing the smoke and mirrors game is tiresome, and the establishment are very good at it. So good that you play along with it. Where's the mention about Biden's incapability to stand a trial due to his mental state?

The economy was tanking, and with inflation at 9% is was failing fast. Guess what? They decided to pump a little more oil stabilising the economy but not before the lasting damage was done... The working/middle class hip pocket.

What is it the bad Orange man keeps saying?
