Jamie Dimon says the best case scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

Stop saying “democrats are failing” because that includes AOC, Frost, Crockett, Booker etc - and they’re NOT failing. Name the people failing you, and don’t let them drag the whole party down with them.
