"$100 dollar raise" today is still $100 less money than 9 months ago.

So it's Biden's fault?

Geez sometimes you really miss the point by a mile.

There are those throwing out this "good news" about gas prices coming down half as much as they went up in order to make things look good, for the current administration, or whatever. In fact, the price is still shit, most people haven't gotten raises to cover it and it still hurts, and that information shouldn't be glossed over.

Nobody is criticizing Biden, and no one is defending trump. Any trump defending is done facetiously in an attempt to point out double standards, since he gets criticized for shit that biden (and obama) gets praised for.

What he said.

People were railing on gas prices on the daily while they were going up.

As they should. And they're still up, and people should still be railing. But no, the msg is "OMG they came down a bit, yay!"

I truly hope the Ds trying to replace him in the next election succeed. He should be retired not running the country.

Government shutdown looming.

This is terrible news because every time the government shuts down, nobody notices.

Ok, they close some parks and pretend they won't send out checks, but other than that, nothing happens.

Under Obama they closed the things that paid for themselves like parks and monuments that people liked, and kept open the things that people don't notice. My kid was in DC on a field trip at this time, and they closed the white house tours on him even though the secret service said they were self sufficient, with the ticket fees. Then they say things like, "It's more expensive to sequester people than it is to keep these things open" when it's a democrat, and "OMG he's destroying the country" when it's a republican.

This is all political horseshit.

As Gordon would say, imagine if Kamala was an R. CNN would have a headline: "Why Kamala's NK gaffe matters". Thankfully, she's a D, so there's no coverage of it on CNN. Think I'm wrong about the media bias? Note who IS covering her gaffe. Also, note that the headline I made up above was based on numerous CNN headlines about [insert R here]'s gaffes.
National parks to remain open...

Sucks when the government is forced to follow their own laws.

Yay?

It's very important to trick people that there's a plan until the voting is done.

Biden's admin held a meeting for all the foremost social media folks that are heavily left, like that one chick we've posted here and "Brooklyn Defiant Dad".

Can't imagine the purpose of such a meeting. Got to make sure everyone's stories are lined up for the midterms I guess?

Reward dinner for all that carrying of water.

That whole group calls themselves "Resistance Twitter".

Biden is a speech, I think today:

"Some airlines, if you want six more inches between you and the seat in front, you pay more money but you don't know it ... these are junk fees, they're unfair and they hit marginalized Americans the hardest, especially ... people of color."

Some dude on Twitter:

You mean the same people u claimed didnt have access to proper voter id now magically have said ID to get on a plane?

I laughed at both statements.

I'm old enough to remember when the MSM would blow every mistake W said out of proportion. Hell, I even remember when they did it to Quayle. Wouldn't it be cool to live in a world where the MSM was actually unbiased...or there was a 25th amendment?
