    Blames Biden for inflation.

    “Promises” to fix it.

    Deliberately makes it worse so he can get richer.

    Mouth-breathing fucktards still blame Biden and immigrants for inflation

    This alone should qualify him for impeachment, inflation is suffering for all but the most wealthy across the nation.

    Not that he will be impeached, congress is making so much money that they can’t help but “ride it out”. Easy wealth is hard for anyone to resist, could you? Seriously, we’re talking generational wealth for their entire family…

    …and that’s only what they report, there’s way more money in play than that. Even the good ones have to face “I could have enough money for me and mom dad and my kids and their kids, just a few more months and then I’ll argue for a minimum wage, maybe even a standalone bill! Just one more million…”

    All the leadership is long gone, the few decent reps are nothing more than tokens; their only purpose is idealization.

      Exactly, that is the point. Why would they impeach the guy that is making them and their handlers rich?

      He’s literally committed treason and nothing happened. Expecting the government to do anything about him is a waste of energy.

    We warned everyone - the rich love electing republicans because they crash everything and make people sell their stuff l, businesses and properties off cheap, it’s a fire sale for rich people, who then either hold on to that and borrow against it for more wealth, create monopolies, and raise prices further, or who just accrue more wealth and power for sport in this manner.

      Don’t forget that since they sold all their stuff, they now have to buy all new stuff in the eventual upswing, now at an inflated price.

      The ultra-wealthy are literally pawnbrokers on a national scale.

        Well they are trying to kill off as many poors as possible, so they don’t expect everyone to rebuy their likely more crappy than before shit.

    “No, I love it – the numbers were great,” Trump said. “You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, you know, I can say it now, something you didn’t know. You know, we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil, nobody knows it. You know who doesn’t know about it? Iran, until right now we took out the other night 22 ships late at night with no lights because they don’t have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it. We took out, that’s why oil is $85 a barrel.”

    I know everything that comes out of his mouth is word salad, but I think I had a stroke just reading that.

      “In fact this is great. You know why? Because look over here, a completely unrelated lie that I’m very proud of.”

      Didn’t. Past tense.

      If by some amazing level of incompetence they didn’t know about their oil being plundered, they absolutely do now that he’s opened his mouth about it.

    The Narcissist’s Prayer

    That didn't happen.
    And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
    And if it was, that's not a big deal.
    And if it is, that's not my fault.
    And if it was, I didn't mean it.
    And if I did, you deserved it.

    So there really is no point where there is a mechanism to save the office of the president should mental illness and incapacity dominate the working of the Supreme leader’s mind? The King walks naked and we just keep saying his clothes look fabulous?

      There is, but the people who wrote it didn’t foresee a world in which an entire established political party just blindly follows everything that the incapacitated person says.

      The framers of the constitution and the people who wrote its amendments were so sure that only people with integrity and good intentions would hold elected office that they didn’t give us a plan for removing shallow, greedy megalomaniacs.

        But they also didn’t consider themselves smart enough to have thought of everything which was the whole point of the amendment system. Which was promptly discarded as soon as it became more convenient to reinterpret the letter of the constitution to suit your needs while calling yourself an originalist.

          I truly believe that if the framers of the constitution had any idea that they were basically writing a religious document, they would have built in the requirement for a constitutional convention every 25-ish years.

          I think they would be horrified by the idea that we had only passed 27 amendments in 237 years.

      If Amazon and Cybertruck even frown, he’s out on his ass.

      Don’t worry! They’re super happy.
