Only $75 billion to cripple an aggressive empire building threat to world peace.  We're getting a bargain.

What's happening today? In the latest quarter the US economy grew by 4.9%.

 So how many more quarters will it take for it to return to pre Joe years?

I guess you mean pre-Covid, as the economy has been poorly managed by Trump during Covid years.

It's been already achieved a few quarters ago! 😃

You follow those "fact-free" not-news sources, don't you?

 

The US economy has grown substantially larger since President Biden took office.  It's much bigger than the "pre-Joe" years.  https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDP/

 

If you used real news sources you'd know this.

Good post, but you trying to show facts to a Trump fan, they will not believe it. They can only repeat “facts”(propaganda) from Trump, the man that has never lied. 555555

I think that particular poster just try’s to annoy other posters obviously he’s un encumbered by any pesky facts as far as I’m concerned yes Joe Biden is elderly but he and the TEAM get results he’s one magnificent old duffer!he rocks!

I thought this thread was about Mike Johnson. Let's try and get back on topic. How about this: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/01/politics/mike-johnson-kfile-invs/index.html

Before he became a politician, House Speaker Mike Johnson partnered with an anti-gay conversion therapy group.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson closely collaborated with a group in the mid-to-late 2000s that promoted “conversion therapy,” a discredited practice that asserted it could change the sexual orientation of gay and lesbian individuals.

Prior to launching his political career, Johnson, a lawyer, gave legal advice to an organization called Exodus International and partnered with the group to put on an annual anti-gay event aimed at teens, according to a CNN KFile review of more than a dozen of Johnson’s media appearances from that timespan.

Mike Johnson’s Very Shady-Seeming Financial Disclosures?

 

MAGA Mike is demanding transparency from the Ukrainians and cites this is one of the main reasons for the GOP not having approved any funding.

 

Yet the Ukrainian Congress members must declare all their assets.

 

Seems Mike either has no assets or he has forgotten to declare them.
