This is just a thought I had, nothing to do with the comic. Why don’t we have live TV broadcasts anymore? I know it’s only a minute behind being live, and I know it’s in case something happens that is not family friendly, but, and here’s my “don’t trust the government” side, if they didn’t want you to see something, something that disagreed with their narrative, they could just switch to something else.
From today’s front page: “Economy took off in third quarter,” which rose “at a brisk 5.2% from July through September.” Just filled up the car. Gas at $2.99 a gallon. Oh, the horror!
There’s a large demand in this country for alternative facts. You know, the ones you’d rather think than the ones that are really facts. Ms. Benson helps to meet that demand on a regular basis, but she’s far from alone.
“To maintain the same standard of living that Americans had at the beginning of Biden’s term, households have to spend an additional $11,434 per year.” (Daily Caller, CBS News, UK Daily Mail) Malarky, the economy is great?! Bidenonics is working, to the detriment of the American people. No lie. I’m on a fixed income so that is a 7.2% hit. Thanks a lot Joe.
Amazing. People posting good reviews for Biden’s handling of the economy must belong to the 32%. But remember, if 32% approve, what does that leave for the disapproval figure? 68%.WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Joe Biden’s job approval rating remains at 37%, tying his personal low, with disapproval at 59%. Approval ratings of the president’s handling of healthcare (40%) and the situation in Ukraine (38%) are similar to his overall rating, while fewer, 32% each, approve of his handling of the economy, foreign affairs, and the situation between the Israelis and Palestinians.

Lisa knows how to spell economy, but that’s where her knowledge ends.

The U.S. economy is strong and growing, Bidenomics works. The tree was put up by the same people who put up tRump’s wall. With the same results.

The economy is booming. If she’s going to lie, at least tell one that’s possibly believable.

The economy is fine and going in the right direction. Lisa is just parroting Republican rhetoric.

Benson doesn’t allow facts to affect her biases…
[ Germany’s leaders in the 1930’s and 1940’s would be proud of her propaganda…. ]

This is where I want to post a photo of a bumper sticker I saw yesterday: “Is that true, or did you hear it on Fox News?”

quarterly growth is over 5%… You’d think that would make folks like this happy

There are at least two, maybe three right wing cartoonists who have NOT drawn a fallen Christmas tree, LYING about the economy, and blaming Biden.
But I’m sure they’ll get around to it.
Interesting that the tree fell in the same direction in ALL the right wing cartoons. Micromanaging by Trump/RNC?

Maybe if you yell that the economy is terrible loud enough, people will believe it?
