It makes me LOL that the Biden administration is now rubbing the right wing's nose in that term they were using not too long ago: "Bidenomics". Their butthurt is epic and they really hate to see America succeed.

The only Republican mission is to prove that government is bad, so they'll do anything to keep it from ever working.

Republicans: The government is so bad and corrupt, watch!

Republican elected presidents:

Nixon (watergate, treason in vietnam)

Reagan (Aids, Iran Contra)

Bush Sr (basic war crimes and war lies, like his son)

Bush Jr (more war crimes and lies)

Trump (pick something)

The same people who voted them into office also very readily complain about how horribly ineffective and corrupt they were (except Reagan). The number of people I've talked to that claimed they hated Trump but then admitted they of course voted for the Republican is high.

They do not even try to settle their own cognitive dissonance. Some I've talked to were proud of it when pointed out.

Trump - throw a dart at a day on the calendar and he probably did something awful on that day. He's likely to surpass Ronnie Raygun in being the single worst president in history.

(The cons want Raygun on Mount Rushmore and on our currency - the bullshit hagiographies were well under way before he even left office, but that's really when things started to get quite a bit worse in so many ways in this country. Until donnie waddled onto the scene, I'd say Raygun was one of the worst in history, if not the absolute worst, and the criminality in his administration was objectively the worst as far as number of people indicted. But not even Raygun plotted a coup as far as I know, nor did he throw an insurrection. )

The only Republican goal is to help the wealthy keep as much money as the can. Everything else is a side show.

His presidency is kicking ass. Highly recommend his appearance on the Smartless podcast.

Can we just comment on how masks off they've been since Trump? They know the theocracy window is closing and they're doing everything to burn Rome down, damn the people they represent.

I'm surprised there is no Dark Brandon theme song yet.
