Anything Trump touches either goes to jail, or gets totally trashed.

Even here on DU he doesn't get the credit.

He was handed a raging pandemic and an economy on the brink, and he delivered the biggest economic gains for working people in this country in several generations. Real wages were up, savings were at all time highs, the net worth of the bottom 50% grew at an unprecedented rate, and the bottom 10% saw more real income gains than the top 10%.

Years from now, the middle class in America is going to look back at the Biden years as the last years they really had a chance in this country.

Think about egg prices alone. The media was practically interuptiing regularly scheduled programming to talk about egg prices under Biden. Well, egg prices hit a record high last month, and you barely hear of them, and when they are discussed, it's all about the actual causes of it being the Bird Flu. When they were blaming Biden for egg prices, they would go on and on about Biden and inflation and not mention the bird flu at all or just in passing.

The media is not the friend of our Democracy, they are owned by and work for the billionaires who installed Trump.

They tell outrageous lies to prove what loyal members of the cult they are. They have destroyed the meaning of truth, they don’t expect any lies to be relieved. They are just cultish.

Coming out of COVID through 2024, we were the envy of the world. The EU and East Asia didn’t recover as quickly or as well as we did. Now, thanks to galactic stupidity, we’re circling the toilet bowl and taking the rest of the world with us.

Nothing underscores the differences between Democrats and Republicans more than comparing economic policies enacted by Biden to those of Trump.

When President Biden lost in November we had 4% unemployment, 3% GDP growth, and 2% inflation.

It's going to be hard to beat when the current administration is doing everything in its power to crash the markets.

Joe is such a good person, no hatred whatsoever and he loves America and Americans - totally unlike the shitgibbon currently defecating all over our constitution and working to kill/hurt every working class and poor person in this country so we're more like his masters' country and he can greatly personally profit by stealing all our SS $$.

You served with nobility and BIGTIME sense of public service: service to the public. You were never in it for the glory. It was all about “what can I do that will help people?” And it was NEVER about “how can I help us wealthy people to get even richer?” That’s how the individual who preceded and followed you has always viewed it.

With Joe Biden, EVERYONE’S needs were top priority, especially those IN need. Thank you, Joe. You’re gonna go to Heaven when you die.
