In 110 years the Fed has never brought inflation down this hard without a severe recession. And last time it happened in the 70s they responded with cheap money that made inflation, and stagnation, even worse.

The main difference this time is private debt is 50 times bigger and federal debt is 100 times bigger.

Ruh-roh Raggy.

Oh the drama

As per Congressman Clay Higgins vvv

“Prepare to be shocked. This release will reveal the insidious truth that the left and the corrupt officials at FBI/DOJ do NOT want Americans to see.

No less than 5-10 key Democrats will announce they’re retiring from Congress. Don’t doubt me.”

For what it's worth, I am all for any President or Presidential candidate, or former President being prosecuted for crimes.

If it's the Biden Crime Family--- prosecute them.

Some have said that no President can be prosecuted for criminal charges while in office. It's a DOJ idea that has never been put before the USSC, but could be at some point in the future.

Anyway, if you got the juice... go for the squeeze. Do it.

But at the same time, the Republican Congress can't even get itself together enough to stop shooting themselves in the face, over and over.

It is the most dysfunctional thing I have ever seen in our country, and I am 55 years old. It isn't even so much more about how much they hate the "Democrat" Party, as it is about how much they despise each other.

Some of the old Repub guard wants things to go back to the way they used to be, when Dem and Repub lawmakers were friends and went out to lunch together, and maintained cordial relations.

A lot of the new Repub blood wants to cut each others' throats, show up for soundbites on Fox and Newsmax, and completely demolish all of our institutions.

No matter which faction "wins" they will have to deal with a rabid body of constituents whose pastime is to send death threats to anyone that pisses them off, and this body was created by them, themselves, along with Fox News. The radicalization was created by, encouraged by, them themselves and Fox News fanned the ember into flame.

There is no going back. It's been made into what it is and most of us won't live long enough to see a real change in the base.

Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) was captured in a picture cowering in terror on 1/6, then later made a performative trip to Pakistan where he pretended he was Chuck Norris, going into Afghanistan to rescue military and civilian personnel trapped there, then tweeted something that implied Biden was going to have him assassinated for doing this, then later deleted that tweet, then later left and came home having accomplished absolutely nothing because the whole thing was performative, then later challenged a teamster to a fistfight during a senate hearing.

He also performatively removed his wedding ring as he stood up to fight, and I think most of you here are old enough and wise enough to know that nobody ever does that in a real fight. Like, ever.

This is the modern GOP. How do you ever come back from this?

Weaponization of the judicial system against a political opponents. A president who approves of business and sharing U.S. technology with a Chinese company involved in human trafficking, Generals challenging civilian authority, Congress making decisions which affect the stock market and then profit from that insider information. No budget, continued defict spending and rising inflation, rising crime, rising homelessness, rising drug use, illegal immigration while supporting two new wars. Political divide in what should be an a-political military, unable to meet recruiting goals. Democrat congressmen chanting “from the river to the sea” leading violent protests. This is the modern state of the union. How does the COUNTRY ever come back from this?

White House staff celebrated the day by presenting President Biden with his foreign policy. Not since 1814 when the British burned the capitol has there been that big of a dumpster fire in DC.

67% of Republicans and 59% of Independents say their overall personal financial situation has gotten worse since November 2020, per Bankrate.

31% of Democrats say the same.

Seems the people constantly complaining about privilege are claiming to be doing better since November 2020? Sounds like privilege

“The plight of the economy over the next 12 months may help to dictate whether it was wise, or not, for President Biden to trumpet the branding of ‘Bidenomics.’ The risk for President Biden is that he’ll get more blame than credit for the economy. But there’s still a long way to go before election day.”
