Gorrell and the other Trump Disciples continue doing what they do best:
Hatred Of Biden.
.
They have no idea why they hate Biden, but then, they don’t need a reason. They just hate whoever Fox and the right wing media structure tells them to hate.
Someone like Trump, Alex Jones, or Perjury Taylor Greene will be along to furnish some ‘reasons’.
There are currently two kinds of people complaining about Joe Biden. “Republicans who’d vote against Jesus if he had a ‘(D)’ next to his name” and “Purity Test Progressives” – The Violet Beauregards of the Left (“I want student loan forgiveness NOW, Daddy!”)
MEANWHILE, the president is about to make history.
Passage of the Inflation Reduction Act will make Biden one of the most legislatively successful presidents of the modern era. We once noted that the mismatch between the size of Biden’s ambitions and his margins in Congress made it seem like he was trying to pass a Rhinoceros through a garden hose. It ended up being more like a pony, but it’s still pretty impressive.
To wit:
— American Recovery Act: $1.9 trillion
— Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act: $550 billion
— Chips and Science Act: $280 billion
— Inflation Reduction Act: ≈$700 billion
That’s a nearly $3.5 trillion agenda. The scope of the issues addressed is notable: the pandemic and its economic fallout, highways, bridges, broadband, rail, manufacturing, science, prescription drug prices, health insurance, climate change, deficit reduction and tax equity.
He also expanded NATO, passed a new gun safety law and passed a bill to address the effects of vets exposed to toxic burn pits. Five out of seven of these laws — all but the two biggies, the ARP and IRA — received significant Republican support.
There’s not much debate anymore over whether Biden has been a consequential president. In the long run, his first two years may be remembered as akin to LBJ when it comes to moving his agenda through Congress.
Well, a Republican platform of higher insulin prices, sunsetting Social Security and Medicare, and forcing 10 year-olds to give birth might NOT be popular to normal Americans.
Biden has accomplished many things during the short time he has been President. He doesn’t care what people think of him—he just wants to get the job done—doesn’t have a big ego I was a child when Truman was President—he was the same. People hated him, but he got things done and is now looked at as a great President.
Republicans are voting against caps on insulin prices, want to cut Social Security and Medicare and want to reduce or remove women’s reproductive rights, including for birth control. Hopefully the Repubs keep talking like this so the country gets more positive about Dems and Biden.
The Senate on Sunday afternoon passed Democrats’ $750 billion health care, tax and climate bill, in a significant victory for President Joe Biden and his party.
The final, party-line vote was 51-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie. The package is the product of painstaking negotiations, and its final passage would give Democrats a chance to achieve major policy objectives ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
The Democrat-controlled House, which is expected to take up the legislation on Friday, August 12, must approve the bill before Biden can sign it into law.
The sweeping bill — named the Inflation Reduction Act — would represent the largest climate investment in US history and make major changes to health policy by giving Medicare the power for the first time to negotiate the prices of certain prescription drugs and extending expiring health care subsidies for three years. The legislation would reduce the deficit, be paid for through new taxes — including a 15% minimum tax on large corporations and a 1% tax on stock buybacks — and boost the Internal Revenue Service’s ability to collect.
Most jobs created to this point in a term…ever. Returned the nation to normalcy after the pandemic. Lowered the deficit. Appointed first female African-American justice to the Supreme Court. Infrastructure. Economic stimuli. Put real money in people’s pockets during the pandemic. Sweden and Finland into NATO. Inflation Reduction Act. More than 80 judges confirmed. Etc., etc. etc.

It is, of course, BS. But at least it’s 5% clever, which is between 150% and 300% as clever as usual.

Puppet Biden has been in politics for over half a century but hadn’t accomplished a single thing for America nor for Working Americans.

the republican party continues to test positive for fascism, and it looks like it’s long-fascism.
symptoms include:
loss of spine
supporting Donald Trump and increasingly extremist candidates
delusion than the 2020 election was stolen
screwing over veterans and diabetic Americans to “own the libs”
scapegoating of immigrants and LGBTQ Americans
legislation fog(no actual plans to fix anything)
loss of ability to speak anything other than in FoxNews talking points
loss of democracy
The republican party will never be the same again.

The right wing is having a field day claiming that the US is in a recession and “it’s all Biden’s fault”.
Headlines last Thursday morning from an AP article: “US Employers add 528K jobs in July”.
That is a recession?
