From the Bureau of Economic Analysis: It seems his "best economy ever" is just another of trump's endless lies. Even before Covid hit, the GDP Quaterly change under trump was in the bottom 30% of all Quarters since the end of WWII. AFter Covid hit, he fell into the lowest Quartile.

So what you're saying is that "15 now...soon to be 1": was somewhat optimistic, injecting Lysol wasn't an effective solution, UV light shined up the fatuga didn't help, and restricting the movement of PPE to Blue States (Fact) was unwise? Oh, and even before Covid hit, the economy was nothing special relative to any POTUS in 60 years. The Repub tax cut, however, set in motion the greatest increase in National Debt ever, eventually hitting $7,800,000,000,000 in trump's 4 years. That equates to ~$24,000 for every man woman, and child in the US and was the cause of the subsequent inflation. That staggering amount of debt also exceeded by a substantial amount any GDP growth that happened in those trump years (before his Recession), which says ALL GROWTH was merely debt-fueled. If your neighbor maxes out his credit cards buying a new Ford F-150, a new bassboat, and a barbeque pit in his backyard, he might appear flush and successful, but the mailman comes with the bill eventually. trump's GDP was that neighbor...kind of Potemkin growth. Oh, equity market performance under Pres Obama dwarfed anything under trump, as did job growth under both Obama abd Biden. trump's "best economy ever" (sic) was just more of his lies and hyperbole. Incidentally, despite ostensibly being the "Party of Business", no (R) POTUS ever---going all the way back to Lincoln---has NOT presided over the start of a Recession. trump was just the latest in a long line. In his (poorly attended) Inauguration, trump spoke of "American Carnage". It wasn't a look at the past, but was prescient, as that carnage came under his incompetent watch.

Unemployment is at a 55 year low of 3.4% (after Biden inherited 6.8% UE from trump), more jobs were created in Biden's first two years than ever, the economy is growing again after the trump Recession, and a bipartisan infrastructure Bill was passed. Oh, and the FY2021 budget was $350 billion lower than trump's last FY and the FY2022 budget was $1.3 trillion lower than trump's last year. Not so bad for 80 years old.

Yes, a few kilometers via a trump bloated waddle from Spurious and Mendacity, favorites of trumpers. From there it's only a short ferry ride to the isle of Whataboutism.

There is no Ted Patrick to deprogram trumpers. Criticizing trump is a direct attack on their sense of self, because they live vicariously through him. They are eternal losers, but he came along and gave them the first chance in their lives to 'get back' at all the people they know are superior to them. trump gave them excuses for their own mediocrity. He also legitimized their racism, antisemitism and misogyny. Look at them at his rallies. Holding up their "Q" banners. They're absolutely amazed trump could do "person woman man camera TV". As I wrote, they make turnips seem like John von Neumann in comparison.

Truth. Facts. Perhaps one day you'll get acquainted with both. Up to now, both seem anathema to you.

Jack Smith said the investigation is ongoing. He indicted only trump now so as to be able to expedite the trial. He may add to the indictment later, as he has done on the stolen documents arrest. He also may be dangling plea deals with not-yet-indicted people who broke laws but know things about trump. It seems he has gotten considerable cooperation from mark meadows. Smith is a thorough and relentless investigator. He's also not intimidated, as he endured plenty of death threats going after war criminals from the Yugoslavian civil war. trumpers are not going to scare him

So facts are trash, eh? Maybe you have "alternative facts" like kellyanne conway. Maybe on the anniversary of the Boiling Green Massacre (sic) you lower your Confederate Flag on your pickup to half mast? You cannot refute what I write, because no one can refute facts. You also cannot defend the traitor to US democracy, trump.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Who gets the votes of Incels? Who gets the votes of NeoNazis? Who gets the votes of QAnon? Who gets the votes of white supremacists? The demographics of 2016 were captured by polling firms. You can Google it. trump won 85% of all US Counties. HRC won 15%. trump's 85% combined account for 38% of total US GDP. The 15% HRC won account for 62% of US GDP. That means HRC counties are 9.25 times more productive than trump counties. The States trump won have some of the highest 'take' from the Federal Govt (taxes paid vs Federal spending/aid). trump has a monopoly on States with the highest per capita social security disability insurance recipients (WV, KY, TN) as well as States with the highest per capita opioid addiction (WV, OH) The highest net contributors to the Federal coffers are Blue States won by HRC in 2016 and Biden in 2020 (NY, CA, MA, NJ) If you say 'hateful', I agree. trump tried to overthrow democracy and subvert the election, something decent people have fought and sacrificed for for 250 years. His goobers couldn't care less about democracy, rule of law, nor freedom. Look at his "good people....on both sides", where one side carried tikitorches and chanted "Jews will not replace us". Look at his goobers on 6 January..."Camp Auschwitz" t-shirts, beating cops, gassing cops, <deleted>ting on the floor of the Capitol. Yes, I hate them. My feeling about trumpers is some combination of pity, contempt and disgust. They have no understanding of what the ideals and goals of the US are. That they support the convicted sex offender and convicted charity fraudster after those convictions, plus his obvious guilt trying to strongarm Zelenskyy (only saved by partisan hacks), that they support his theft of highly classified documents and his willful and deceitful retention of those docs, and that they were dumb enough to buy his Big Lie and engage in terrorism against the US Capitol is disgusting. You call this 'gibberish', while rational and sane people call it truth. You cannot defend him, because he is guilty as sin.

From the 6 January rally on the mall, the video: trump: "If Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election" Obviously what trump means by 'the right thing' is to subvert democracy and disavow the certified results of the election. Later, trump criticized Pence for not following trump's demand. From page 33 of the indictment: trump: "You're too honest" That statement by trump shows trump knew he lost, but was trying to subvert the system by whatever means possible.

Here's what the twice impeached, thrice indicted, convicted sex offender, convicted charity fraudster, 6-time bankrupt trump faces if convicted of just the charges in the initial 3 indictments:

Obviously you have nothing of value to add, and certainly no defense of your messiah. Another thing that is puzzling...do trumpers know that trump himself considers all of his cult losers? trump worships successful people, celebrities, and most of all wealthy people. His cult is almost solely poorly educated, unsuccessful, below average income, below average intelligence, losers. They're the forlorn, the forgotten, the mediocre, the meaningless. They try to live vicariously through him, even collecting his NFTs that pretend he's brave and physically sculpted, when he's an abject coward and has the body composition of Jabba the Hut. He's gathered the Incels, the Neo Nazis, the racists, the white supremacists, and all those who are incapable of accepting responsibility for their own life failures. Drawing from the autocrats handbook, trump gave them an excuse. He gave them "others" to blame. He lies and tells them they are something they are not and never can be, and they buy his absurdist pabulum because they need it. To see themselves clearly for the losers they are is too much for them to take. If trump goes away, they have nothing left in life. He was their only hope, even if it was a false one, concocted merely to exploit their weakness and get their support.

Perhaps you missed this, which are the witnesses whose testimony has been key to the indictment: Former Vice President Mike Pence Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows Pence aides Greg Jacob and Marc Short Former White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino Former White House speechwriter Stephen Miller Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani Trump attorney and adviser Boris Epshteyn Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone Former Department of Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich Chairman of the Nevada Republican Party Michael McDonald Former White House aide Nick Luna Former White House personnel director John McEntee Former Trump campaign deputy director Gary Michael Brown "Stop the Steal" organizer Ali Alexander Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger All of them are Republicans. Most were selected by the twice impeached, thrice indicted, convicted sex offender, convicted charity fraudster and 6-time bankrupt trump. Best to load up on Kleenex, because maga-tears will be flooding the streets.

I think what the Goobers are most upset about with Stormy is that she said: "Not quite freakishly small, but well below average". Oddly, they don't seem to mind that Stormy said trump asked her to smack his naked butt with a rolled up Forbes magazine that had trump on the cover. Their messiah can be a pervert, but small junk is a no no.

Do you mean Hugo Chavez did not rise from the grave and program an Italian satellite to change the votes on Dominion machines? Millions of trumpers swear by that. Oh my! Next thing you'll tell me Jewish Space Lasers are not real.

No. You are wrong. Hillary accepted her loss and did not attempt to overthrow our democracy as the twice impeached, thrice indicted, convicted sex offender, convicted charity fraudster and 6-time bankrupt trump did. Have you heard any tapes of phone calls HRC made to election officials asking them to 'just find me 11,780 votes'? Didn't think so. Also, Biden and Pence fully cooperated with the DoJ and FBI to gather and remove any and all classified docs. trump hid what he stole and lied about it. You might want to put down the shovel and stop digging.

Patience, grasshopper. The fatboy is going down, because he has no AG to isolate him from the law, as he had with sessions, whitaker and barr. Oh, and you are welcome to try to answer the questions posed... Why did donny call his goobers to DC and encourage them to 'march to the Capitol', 'fight like hell', and 'take back our country'? Why did the wedding planner trump need TS/SCI, SAP, Codeword, HCS and RD docs at his country club?

Perhaps you missed it, but HRC had no highly classified docs on her server, just a few Confidential and maybe one Secret, (not even Top Secret), all of which were declassified subsequently by the new Administration's SecState Pompeo. Still, trump led the chants of "Lock her up". Clinton did not have TS/SCI, SAP, Codeword, HCS nor RD. (By the way, even a POTUS cannot declassify RD; only the Dept of Energy can). Again, why would a country club owner need those docs, which he had zero right to have. (Perhaps you are unaware even POTUSs have no security clearance, so nothing to revoke when they get trounced badly in their re-election effort). (An aside: in a fit of pique trump claimed he revoked the security clearances of John Brennan, Jim Comey and Andrew McCabe. So incompetent was trump's staff that this never occurred. All still retain their clearances today.)

The craziest thing---or perhaps not given the low IQ of trumpers----is that not only do the goobers believe everything tucker carlson said, they also believe nobody believes what tucker carlson said. It's the same with the classified docs indictment...trump BOTH claims he 'declassified with his mind' as well as "the FBI planted them", and the goobers believe both trump lies It's kind of a trumpistan Schrödinger's cat

Quoting trump's 'crack' legal team? trump is down to ambulance chasers now, not Clarence Darrow. No white shoe firms, either. (I am reminded of trump's appointment of an Acting AG whose sole case in his legal career involved a guy contesting a rent agreement for his shop in a mall. After that 'courtroom experience', the guy trump appointed as Acting AG had gone on to sell "well hung man toilets' as well as shares in a time travel machine. "The Best People", indeed) Not one of you trumpers can explain why the twice impeached, thrice indicted, convicted sex offender, convicted charity fraudster and 6-time bankrupt conman called his cult to DC for a "wild" time on 6 January, nor why he told them to 'march to the Capitol', nor 'fight like hell', nor 'take your country back' (all in the video of trump's rally). None of you trumpers can explain why a country club owner and wedding planner need TS/SCI, Codeword, SAP, HCS and RD documents, nor why he lied about returning them all, nor why he told one of his quislings to erase 45 days of security camera footage, nor why he showed unauthorized folks US Mil plans for an invasion of Iran (trump's Wag the Dog Gambit).

It is sad. Never in the history of the US has a sitting POTUS tried to overthrow our democracy. Also sad is that so many Americans are brain addled and think trump did nothing wrong: ...stealing highly classified documents that expose military weaknesses, knowledge of adversaries military strengths and weaknesses, sources and methods of intel collection, and even exposing (trump had NCS docs) the identities of clandestine assets in places like russia, iran and north korea. Praytell why a country club owner needs such material? ... trying to set up fake electors who would give him States he lost, pressuring State election officials to give him States he clearly lost, fomenting a terrorist attack on the Capitol (trump wasn't telling them to 'fight like hell' so that they could get discounts on decorative coffee mugs at the Capitol souvenir shop) trump is a traitor. Years from now his name will be synonymous with treason, replacing Benedict Arnold. His cult will crawl back under their rocks or go back to their trailer parks in Marryyoursisterville.

No, troll. I'm what you call a patriot. I think that term is unfamiliar to you, as it is to all trumpers. trumpers hate democracy, the Constitution and rule of law, where all are equal under it. The concept probably is a stretch to his cult, who are---to put it nicely---people who make turnips seem like John von Neumann in comparison.

Baaaa!!!! I'm one of those sheeple who believes in the Constitution and rule of law. You prefer the twice impeached, thrice indicted, convicted sexual offender and charity fraudster trump. I guess you also like the high unemployment the incompetent 6-time bankrupted clown left, along with his Recession and the additional $7,800,000,000,000 in new National Debt he added in just 4 years of playing golf (at a cost to the Taxpayer of more than $172 million, according to trump's OMB), holding rallies and calling into Fox. AT least you didn't shoot up Lysol or stick a UV light up your fatuga. I see you got the Soros anti-semitic thing working, too. Were you one of those bloated tikitorch marchers at Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us !" trump pooped on the Constitution. The crybaby couldn't accept that he lost, so tried to overthrow 250 years of US democracy....and that according to HIS REPUBLICAN Staff. Frankly, that is Sedition, and hopefully Jack Smith will add to the indictment, as Sedition is a capital offense and could get trump the electric chair. As for President Biden, I guess you and conner are still looking for the supposed witness, but that guy (an unregistered China agent) is hiding out because he was violating international sanctions by brokering Iranian oil, as well as trying to broker arms sales to Iran. Mossad is not going to like that, and may do the needful. How about the stolen documents case? Are you one of those who believes trump 'declassified with his thoughts', or are you one who thinks the FBI planted them? trump claimed both, and oddly, his poorly educated and brain addled cult believed both. Please tell me why a country club owner and wedding planner needs TS/SCI, Codeword, SAP, HCS and RD documents? I long held a TS/SC clearance, had classification authority, and damn if I know why he would need that stuff, unless he intended to monetize it. In my opinion trump is a conman traitor deserving of jail time with these slam dunk cases, and if Jack Smith charges him with Sedition and gets a conviction, the electric chair will 'make America great again' by scorching trump.

You are not rational, and since it was a no alcohol day, your excuse for that drivel cannot be that you were drunk.

Yes, i'm one of those 'strange' guys who expects a POTUS to honor his oath to support, protect and defend the Constitution, not try to subvert it and destroy what millions of people much better than trump could ever be fought to defend. It will remain an eternal puzzle that so many Americans are so ignorant of the Constitution, and so gullible and susceptible to Snake Oil salesmen, that they can think the criminal trump is anything more than a lowlife. Of course, I appreciate the poorly educated and addled brain types---like his QAnon, Incel, Nazi, white supremacist cult base---have great difficulty understanding concepts like rule of law or democracy. When I need to consider why I pull out the IQ Bell Curve and see how much space there is a standard deviation or two left of the mean. It is from those Birth Lottery losers where trump pulls his sycophants.
