George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out. George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out. Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out. Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession. Starting to notice a trend?

I guess 77 million Americans are celebrating today. They got exactly what they voted for. But they might not know because Fox News removed the stock market ticker to hide this. Think about that! But at least we don't have to worry about pronouns. Honestly, how stupid of a country have we become?

Newsom: The trade war that Trump has just launched—because there will be a reaction, and there already has been—will be felt in profound ways by average people including those who voted for Donald Trump, those who were betrayed by this very administration.

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

Nothing to see here. Just a mentally ill president firing national security staffers at the behest of a mentally ill outside advisor.

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates: "Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

Padilla: By the time the water was released, the fires were already contained. There was no way that water could even make its way to Southern California. When the hot, dry months come and farmers need that water for irrigation, it’ll be gone. And you can’t get it back.

Schumer is hoping that enough time will pass and people will forget about this, but we’re not letting up. We refuse to be treated like fools while Democratic leadership sells us out and expects the outrage to fade. Sign & share if you agree: Schumer must step down as Democratic Leader

Not how it works. And they know it. The courts must come down on the Trump administration for this so hard that they do not dare disobey a court order again. I have seen judges do this with juveniles. Explain to me again why they cannot do it with DOJ or the FBI or Marco Rubio.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
