The problem is that the dumb orange man made things worse not better. He did not bring down the trade deficit, it increased. When all the other big hitters wanted to join into a trade agreement without China to put pressure on China to change their ways and reign them in, the dumb orange idiot stated trade wars are easy until he had to kiss China ass when he found out that he was not doing jack to China but instead hurting Americans. The funny part is that China was pretty much wise to his game and when the orange idiot did not follow through on his end of the bargain neither did China.

Just the whole handling of China was wrong because he tried to take credit instead of actually being smart enough to work with other nations to isolate China global expansion, believing that China cannot absorb just one country tariffs. Its not like he was not told this in the beginning but he used complete idiots who are more yes man then people willing to tell him he is wrong and thus here we are. So no, trying to paint the orange dumb idiot in a good light really is a waste of time because he never did anything for anyone benefit but his own and when it fails all he does is blame everyone else.

As for Biden going to Saudia to try to negotiate and get prices down on gas in the face of Saudia human rights issue, lol, when has America ever care about anything more than their own self interest. You act as if this is something new but its been the US MO since the nation was created.

Going to repost this: https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/president-biden-made-america-great-again-in-the-eyes-of-the-world-poll-11619623102

Major countries were polled and all of them, except one, saw improvements (some massive) in their opinion of the US. The only country who’s opinion of the US dropped, was China.

Trump liked to tell his slack-jawed voter base that he was tough on China and would help American manufacturing. His actual policies which included things as stupid as taxing imports of materials required by most US manufacturers - this is something that economists have known is shit policy since the days of mercantilism—but hundreds of years later, somehow Trump missed the memo. And in the era of capitalism, he also fucked up hard, disrupting trade relations between the US and other Western nations, and ended up destroying US manufacturing instead of doing anything to China - instead demand and dependency on Chinese manufacturing.

It was profoundly foolish that the US trusted their economy in the incompetently tiny hands of Donald Trump. A man most famous for being a slow-witted reality TV show character and repeatedly going bankrupt.

Talking about the dumb orange man, talking about the price gouging of big oil, talking about what it means to actually represent the people, Bernie Sanders and Lindsey Graham go head to head 

Don’t you mean “JINA”? 

Its interesting that Trump and his crew would do the whole fund raising on his defense and then not even setup the fund itself to cover their tracks on spending that money. I mean its pretty much basic con 101 in covering your butt. I am guessing that Trump relied way to much on the GOP to shelter him from his own greed because that blunder actually might be something Garland can stick him on wire fraud. Should be interesting in the next 6 months how this all pans out.

I know from experience that it will not stop support from the Trump faithful. I actually remember having this conversation with a friend of mine who worshipped everything Trump and I brought how all the money he was raising was going to his PAC after the election and she just game some excuse that all will be revealed. I am sure they are already either dismissing what they have heard, ignoring to even think on it as political or drumming up excuses to fill in the gap.

Opinion | Democrats can’t have it both ways about the threat of GOP extremism - The Washington Post

Shhh! The Jan Sixth Show is on.

The midterms are coming, Biden's approval is way down from the start of his presidency, the pendulum really swung the other way when he showed he couldn't get a hugely popular socialist bill funded like the Green new deal, Universal Health Care, free college tuition, higher minimum wages, etc etc.. leaving a whole generation of younger people disillusioned 

Many in the "moderate" Dems and Reps have accused Biden of pandering to the left and this is why he will likely fail in the midterms, even though he has done virtually nothing the progressives have asked for  

You have people in the elites not able to analyse actual facts on the ground, or worse wilfully ignoring their own mistakes at the cost of those least able to afford it 

It is truly eye opening how far the elites have talked themselves into wearing a blindfold to reality, by the way the US isnt unique in this either  

The rule of law and economics only applies to those who can't afford to bribe their way out

Anyone else worry seeing Biden collapse from his bike?

Texas GOP adopts resolution rejecting 2020 election results

"We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States,"

Now entire state delegations are outright rejecting democracy - in the wake of the January 6th hearings, no less. The descent into fascism is now a freefall.
